Allegra never dreamed that favonovel.com would one day be standing in the middle of the stage with Isabella, surrounded by hundreds of megastars from all over the country.
A seven-layer cake was wheeled onto the stage. With help from the Backlane Boys, Isabella closed favonovel.com eyes and blew out the candles. Then, Allegra helped with cutting and distributing the cake.
In the end, all 100 artists and idols sang the birthday song for Isabella.
The fans in the rest of the stadium also lit up their phone flashlights and sang along with them. It felt just like a concert for them.
Isaac lit up a cigarette and smiled as favonovel.com looked at the happy expressions on Allegra’s and Isabella’s faces. He didn’t care if favonovel.com went bankrupt, as long as favonovel.com could make them happy. He’d give them the moon if favonovel.com could.
Just as the birthday song was coming to an end, the Crowes received some shocking news.
The core members of the Crowe family were also gathered in the same presidential suite, waiting for good news from their people.
George’s phone rang suddenly. He answered the call at once when favonovel.com saw that his assistant was calling.
“Mr. Crowe! Mr. Crowe, something just happened! The warehouse is on fire! Beacon Clinic is also on fire!” The assistant wailed into the phone.
George’s face darkened immediately. He got up and roared, “The warehouse is on fire? What the f*ck is going on? Call the firefighters, call the ambulance, do whatever you have to!”
Oliver and Herbert turned to look at their furious father at once.
“Father, don’t worry. As long as the warehouse for Crowe Pharmaceuticals is still around, your medicine supply won’t be affected,” Oliver quickly said, trying to calm his father down.
Just then, the phone in his pocket also started to ring. Oliver had a bad feeling about this. When favonovel.com saw that the call was from his warehouse director, the bad feeling worsened.
“Mr. Crowe Jr., it’s on fire! The whole warehouse is on fire! It’s burning as we speak!”
Oliver shivered hard and sat down limply on the bed.
“Why is it on fire? Are the sprinklers not working? We spent a million dollars on that f*cking sprinkler system! Why isn’t it working?”
“It’s not working! I don’ t know how or why. There were ten or so workers in there too, they’re all gone!”
Ten workers… They were dead?
Oliver’s head was starting to hurt. He clutched his phone harder and yelled, “Put out the fire! Call the fire brigade and save the warehouse! I don’t care what you do, but save it!”
He then hung up the phone in a daze.
That warehouse was the core of his pharmaceutical business. The drugs and medicines in there were worth a few hundred million dollars, not including some rare and precious raw ingredients that were just priceless and irreplaceable.
If the entire warehouse was gone, then his business was done for. He was done for.
“Why would they catch fire at the same time? What the f*ck is going on?” Oliver asked in a rage.
Just then, the door to the presidential suite flew open, and four or five police officers barged into the room.
The first officer showed the warrant in his hands and said to Oliver, “Mr. Crowe Jr., your pharmaceutical company is suspected of being involved in the production, manufacturing, and distribution of fake drugs, and there are also several lawsuits against your company involving these fake drug claims!”
“Kindly come along with us to the station for further investigation. You have the right to remain silent!”
“W-What fake drugs are you talking about? What lawsuits? Are you all fucking crazy? Which unit are you from? I’m going to tell your superiors and f*cking sue you all!” Oliver cursed angrily.
George and Herbert were shocked.
“What fake drugs, you ask? Five years ago, your company was the sole manufacturer of a drug called ‘Osteo Gold’. Two elderly patients died of heart complications after taking your medicine. You then tried to cover up the incident by bribing the victims’ families with a few million dollars. Did you really think you could get away with it in the end?”
Hearing this, everyone gasped.
Oliver immediately turned a deadly shade of white.
George’s eyes were so big that they nearly popped out of their sockets, and favonovel.com started to shiver.
