Chapter 696 Face It
“Ok, got it.” Natalie was standing right beside Yandel. She heard everything his assistant said.
“The drug has been tested many times before the launch. Moreover, we have kept a record of all the written reports.” Yandel’s face darkened. “This might have happened by chance. Let’s stop circulating the drug for now and wait for the reports of the autopsies. It just might clear our name.”
Natalie nodded.
“Let’s not stop the circulation of these drugs for now.” Natalie gave it some thought and said. “Some patients might be at the peak of their treatment. We might disrupt their treatment if we stop selling these drugs suddenly. There are only very few cases of death for now. Why don’t you cooperate with the police and give them whatever they need for the investigation? I trust you, and I trust Ross too.”
Yandel nodded. He understood that Natalie was taking a huge risk by doing so. However, they might crush the hope of a patient’s family if they cut off the drug supply.
“I’ll keep you up to date with the latest progress.”
“Ok.”
Three days later.
News of patients dying all of a sudden after taking Dream’s anti-cancer drug popped up all over the internet. The number grew from 2 cases on the first day to 11 cases.
Natalie saw Dream Corporation’s entrance being surrounded by a huge group of people on her way to work.
An angry crowd held banners and boards up in the air and shouted, “Heartless pharmaceutical company!” “Pay with your lives!”
“What anti-cancer drugs? Rubbish! Heartless pharmaceutical company! Heartless boss!”
“Come and face us! A life for a life. Give me my son back!”
“I bought the drug because I trusted you. But now, I’ve dug my daughter’s grave.”
“We demand an explanation!”
“You heartless pharmaceutical company! Just close down and go to hell!”
The whole place was filled with verbal attacks.
