The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2052

Christopher chuckled. “Tomorrow, a sum of money will be transferred to your overseas account. Please check it.”

“Mr. Iverson, I don’t work for you because of money…”

“I know,” Christopher cut in, his tone unyielding. “But I will not shortchange anyone who works for me. This is what you deserve.”

Despite his seemingly generous words, there was an unmistakable arrogance in his voice. “Besides, your wife’s medical bills each year aren’t cheap, right? I’d wager your savings aren’t enough.”

“Then... Thank you.” Owen hesitated before asking the question that had been gnawing at him. “Mr. Iverson, several people have experienced rejection reactions recently—some even died. This suggests the new drug is still highly unstable. Will it really be successful?”

There was a long silence on the other end.

Though Owen had weathered countless storms, he could not help but feel a twinge of anxiety.

“Deputy Chief Hopkins,” Christopher finally spoke, his tone still light, almost casual. “Have you met with anyone recently?”

Owen’s heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to lie. “No. I’ve just been worried about my wife’s deteriorating condition.”

His voice remained steady, revealing nothing to Christopher.

“A few problematic test samples don’t prove anything,” Christopher reassured him gently. “No experiment is without setbacks. We must trust the process. The experiment will be successful.”

After Watson’s press conference, the police took him into custody. However, considering his health, all interrogations were conducted in the hospital. Meanwhile, the higher-ups at Southern Star Syndicate, who had been profiting from the sale of illegal drugs, including Jordan, were all arrested, and their stashes of drugs were confiscated.

At the same time, under public pressure, the authorities formed a special task force led by Ralph to launch a vigorous anti-drug campaign across Savrow.

A month passed in a blur. No new deaths from drug use were reported in Savrow, and the situation seemed to have stabilized for the moment.
