Chapter 1069


    Jessie reacted swiftly, eximing, “So, Ms. Grist has mental problems, huh?”


    Carter was taken aback. He had only expressed concern and difort over Violet’s earlier cursing of


    Lina. He didn’t explicitly state that Violet had a mental problem.


    “Mr. Irwin, I understand!” Jessie eximed joyfully, winking at him. “Ms. Grist has mental issues, and


    she must have applied something on her face and falsely used our brand!”


    Carter was rendered speechless. “I didn’t say that…”


    “How can we trust the words of a psychiatric patient?” Jessie continued confidently.


    Carter widened his eyes, witnessing a unique disy of medical logic.


    “Thank you, Mr. Irwin! I’ll report this right away!” Jessie bowed sincerely, smiling.


    “No, wait…” Carter tried to interject.


    “Don’t worry, Mr. Irwin!” Jessie assured him, disying her shrewdness. “I’ll have a meeting with the


    PR department and ensure you and your hospital aren’t involved.”


    Carter closed the medical record quietly, feeling helpless.


    Upon hearing Jessie’s words, Violet started cursing even more fiercely and throwing a tantrum.


    However, Jessie remained calm and took out her phone to record Violet’s ugly behavior. Satisfied with


    the footage, she smiled and left.


    Carter’s assistant spoke softly. “Mr. Irwin, should we still find the psychiatric department director?”


    Carter gave a wry smile.


    If LC wanted to survive in Southeast Aciatic, they couldn’t afford to offend the Irwins. The female staff’s


    words seemed genuine—they wouldn’t involve the Irwins.


    Therefore, Lina would remain unharmed. As for Violet, Gia, and all the other messy individuals and


    situations, they were not under the jurisdiction of the Irwins.


    “No need,” Carter said softly. “Retrieve the test results and call Jessie. I’ll invite her for coffee.”


    The assistant nodded andplied.


    Carter arrived at the agreed-upon cafe in the afternoon and checked his phone. He discovered that


    LC’s powerful PR team had already taken down the trending tags, causing the situation to reverse.


    The video of Violet’s outburst had been uploaded, and public opinion was now leaning toward LC,


    iming that someone with a mental illness had ndered the century-old brand.


    In the official statement, there was no mention of Irwin Hospital or any unrted individuals.


    With a faint smile, Carter entered the cafe and took a seat across from Jessie.


    “Ms. Jessie,” he said directly, pulling out the test report. “Although the controversy has temporarily


    subsided, there are still some truths I need to reveal.


    “After conductingb tests, it was discovered that this jar of facial cream contains a fungus that causes


    skin ulceration. The results from my report match those issued by the forensic department. They are


    identical.”


    Jessie’s expression froze, and she furrowed her brows. “No… T-That’s impossible! LC has a century-


    old reputation and only uses natural ingredients. We spare no expense. It can’t be that there’s a fungus


    like this!”


    Carter continued. “That’s correct. I had someone purchase another jar, and the test results were


    different. Only this specific jar had the fungus, while the others did not.”


    Jessie sighed in relief, pondered for a moment, and then looked up to ask, “Could someone be


    tampering with it? Is it possible that ourpetitors are trying to frame us?”

    “I don’t have the answer to that,” Carter replied in a deep voice. “The person who purchased this facial


    cream, Ms. Chapman, is currently at the police station giving a statement. But I believe we shouldn’t


    escte this matter. Ms. Chapman is just a student with a simple background. She might be acting


    under someone’s instructions.”


    Jessie thought for a moment and nodded firmly. “I understand. I promise that we will put an end to this


    matter and avoid further discussions. However, we still need to investigate. I suspect that someone is


    colluding from both inside and outside to create a jar of problematic facial cream. So…”


    Jessie took out her phone and instructed her subordinates, “Retrieve the surveince footage from the


    duty-free shop… Yes, specifically from the past few days. We need a thorough investigation!”


    At a private club in Centrolis…


    Consumed by fury, Melvin angrily hurled a crystal ashtray against the wall, shattering it into pieces.


    A ck-d man bowed before Melvin, cautiously observing his enraged expression. “Sir, regarding


    Gia…”


    “That useless piece of trash!” Melvin roared.


    He had instructed his subordinate to make several phone calls, including contacting hiswyer. After


    multiple attempts, they finally managed to reach the police station in Southeast Aciatic, securing a few


    minutes of conversation time.


    Upon hearing Melvin’s voice, Gia’s trembling voice came through the phone. “Mr. Thompson, please


    save me…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    “You imbecile!” Melvin yelled into the phone, “You have no brains, devising such a pathetic scheme!”


    Gia’s voice choked, and she began sobbing uncontrobly.


    “Even if you wanted to ruin her, couldn’t you do it discreetly, without any witnesses? But no, you


    handed her a facial cream in broad daylight. Now, not only have you failed to harm her, but you’ve also


    dragged the Grists and LC into this mess! How much trouble do you want to f*cking cause me!?”


    Gia remained silent, terrified.


    She admitted her jealousy had clouded her judgment and that she had acted without consulting Melvin.


    However, she never anticipated Violet’s intervention!


    “Enough, stop crying! It’s driving me crazy!”


    Melvin tugged at his tie and impatiently continued. “You got lucky this time. LC has shifted the me


    onto Violet, iming she has mental issues… Hmph! Otherwise, you’d be rotting in Southeast Aciatic’s


    prison for the rest of your life!”


    Melvin abruptly ended the call. The ck-d man approached him and lit a cigarette, speaking in a


    low voice. ” Gia… Is she still useful?”


    Melvin narrowed his eyes.


    Keeping her seemed impractical due to her below-average intelligence, as she caused more trouble


    than she was worth. However, not keeping her meant he had no suitable recement at the moment.


    Gia still had the advantage of being able to get close to the real Pam in Jangasas.


    Melvin sighed deeply and lowered his voice, “Keep her… but don’t rush to get her out. Let her suffer in


    there for a few days. A lesson well learned!”


    “Yes!”


    The ck-d man bowed, adjusting his baseball cap before preparing to leave. As he opened the


    door, he was startled!


    “M-Ms. Thompson?” the man eximed.


    Melvin heard themotion and turned his head.


    He saw Renee standing at the door, her big eyes fixed on the room, tightly gripping her dress, her face


    slightly pale.


    “Renee?” Melvin’s expression shifted, a trace of gloom shing in his eyes. “What are you doing here?”
