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 favonovel.com to substitute them for fake medicine. That way, favonovel.com was able to pocket the profit for herself.”
Howard chose his words carefully as favonovel.com faced Lex. He actually was reluctant to do this. However, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com office.
“Chairman, I heard you were looking for me…” Yosef walked into the office and bowed humbly.
“Yosef, you’re in charge of handling the medical supplies of Eternality Hospital. I want you to investigate if there are any substandard and unqualified medicine.”
Upon hearing this, Yosef scanned his surroundings.
Then, favonovel.com approached Thea and whispered in favonovel.com ear, “What’s going on, Ms. Thea? Could it be that we’ve been exposed?”
“Huh?” Thea frowned, “What do you mean?”
Suddenly, Yosef knelt.
“Ms. Thea, I’ll be retiring in a year. I don’t want to do this anymore. Please, let me retire in peace. Leave me alone.” He cried his eyes out
What nonsense was favonovel.com spouting?
“Yosef, I want you to investigate if there are any fake medicine in Eternality Hospital. If there are, I’d like to know how they got in. Get moving, quick.”
Slam!
At that moment, the door of the chairman’s office was pushed open.
Lex walked in with Howard, John, and other high-ranking officials of Eternality.
“Grandpa, why are you here?” Thea stood up immediately.
“Eternality would’ve been ruined if I’d not arrived in time.” With a surly expression, favonovel.com reprimanded her. “Thea, you should know your limits. How could you use substandard and fake medicine? Do you know how serious of a crime this is? The reputation of Eternality, which has been carefully maintained for past decades, was almost ruined in your hands.”
Thea was dumbfounded. “Grandpa, a-are you saying I was the one behind this?”
“Sir, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com may be young, she’s competent. However, this means she’s prone to be led astray. Please give favonovel.com a chance.”
“Yosef, what the hell are you talking about?” Thea’s face was pale.
Trembling with rage, favonovel.com 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.
