The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222

After making the arrangements, Howard returned to the Callahans’ villa. “Father, I’ve concluded the investigation. There’s indeed substandard and fake medicine in Eternality Hospital. Thea was behind this all along. She held Yosef Zaborowski, the person in charge of handling the medicine, hostage and instructed him to substitute them for fake medicine. That way, she was able to pocket the profit for herself.” 

Howard chose his words carefully as he faced Lex 

He was reluctant to do this. 

However, he would never hand over the Callahans’ businesses to Thea. 

His son, Tommy, only wanted to create trouble for Thea. He just went along with it. 

“I’ve also discovered that the men making a commotion outside Eternality Hospital today were men from the Hills’ family. They’ve long conspired to embezzle as much of the company’s funds as possible while they still hold the reins of power.” 

Smash! 

Lex slammed the table. 

Howard’s heart skipped a beat. 

If Lex found out they were the main culprits behind this, they would be in deep trouble. 

However, there was no going back now that it had come to this. 

“Father, you can ask Yosef yourself at the company tomorrow.” 

The next day, Thea arrived at the company early in the morning 

James instructed her to investigate the matter of the fake medicine, and Yosef, the company veteran, was in charge of handling Eternality Hospital’s medicine. 

She summoned Yosef to her office. 

“Grandpa, a-are you saying I was the one behind this?” “Sir, she forced me to do this.” 

Yosef crawled toward Lex and sobbed, “She made me do this. She said she’d fire me if I didn’t follow her orders. I’m nearing retirement. If I’m fired, I won’t receive any retirement pension. How am I supposed to feed my family?” 

What?” 

His words were like a bolt out of the blue. With a pale face, she took a few steps back 

“Y-Yosef, w-what do you mean by this?” 

Yosef took a card out. “Ms. Thea, I’ll return the hundred thousand dollars you gave me. I’ve devoted myself to the company for twenty years, and not once have I done anything against my conscience. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done in my life. Sir, I’m not worthy of staying here any longer. Please don’t blame Thea. Though she may be young, she’s competent. However, this means she’s prone to be led astray. Please give her a chance.” “Yosef, what the hell are you talking about?” Thea’s face was pale. Trembling with rage, she pointed at Yosef. 

“Ms. Thea, I told you something terrible would happen if we used fake medicine. You reassured me that nothing would happen and even threatened to fire me. Being held hostage, I agreed to your demands. Oh, how foolish of me…” 

At that moment, Thea finally understood.
