Although I was terrified when we first got on the road, I had calmed down now.
Slowly, I recalled the time when Grandma was still alive. Afraid that Theo would leave me alone after she was no longer around, she opened a small company that produced shampoos and gave me 50% of the equity.
However, due to poor management afterward, the business closed down in just less than two years.
As I did not contribute money nor took part in the management, I did not pay much attention to this matter. When Theo told me that the company went bankrupt and the site would be given to Zedd, I did not think much about it at the time.
I did not expect that this company still existed and something this serious had happened.
When I arrived at the Administration for Industry and Commerce, a man in civilian clothes sat across from m e.
"Ms. Wanda, we learned that your company's product caused a customer to experience serious hair loss due to issues in product quality two years ago. The customer eventually suffered from depression and
committed suicide. Just last night, a family member o f the deceased consumed poison to commit suicide in front of the factory. Are you aware of this?"
I shook my head immediately. "I'm not aware of it at all. I admit that this company exists under Grant Corporation, but production halted two years ago. As for the customer you just mentioned, it's actually my first time hearing about this case."
I was honestly unaware of this incident.
"Ms. Wanda, you said that this company has halted production, yet you've still been earning profits in the last two years. Moreover, many of the documents were personally signed and approved by you. Don't tell me you're unaware of these things?"
Unbelievable. I had no idea how to defend myself at all and could only keep shaking my head. "I don’t know. I don’t know anything at all."
"Please calm down, Ms. Wanda. You're the company's shareholder and the one who signed all the Mid-Nutri documents. We have evidence of it."
After a pause, he continued, "As for the two lives, they're not directly related to you, so the police will handle it. Therefore, this case is more industrial and commercial in nature. You just need to explain to us about the money laundering, but as far as you're concerned, you're not in any trouble."
The man's words reminded me that the person had only died in front of the factory but the reason was still unclear. This was not a criminal case yet, so it could only be considered an economic case.
After calming myself down, I looked at the man in front of me and said, "I'm really sorry but I can't answer your questions now. You’re illegally detaining me and violating my human rights. I will reserve the right to take legal actions."
