Chapter 329
The terrified assistant was picked up like a chick with his head helplessly tilted upward.
"I-It''s true, Mr. Mason and Mr. William! The subordinates reported it just now. I wouldn''t say something I
wasn''t sure about…"
Mason gritted his teeth and snapped, "Let him go, William! We''ll listen to what he has to say!"
William was so angry that he was no longer ascent as he was a minute ago. He swiftly let go of
his grip and pushed the assistant away.
The assistant then stumbled backward and coughed.
"Tell us!" Mason urged. "What''s going on?!"
The assistant took a while to calm down before he gave a rough exnation with a bitter look on his
face.
"Zeref brought some of our men to Celestial Cosmeceutical today for quality inspection, but a group of
people from the prosecutor''s office suddenly came and took him away and they had another group of
officials check the results. It was just announced that there is no problem with Celestial
Cosmeceutical''s form and the product does not contain any carcinogens. As for those who took the
lead in making a scene before, they were also taken away by the police for questioning. I heard that
they have confessed! Theirments are mostly one-sided insults to ourpany…"
At that, William immediately took out his phone to check the news online. He then saw the top trending
search—''Moran Corporation Frames Celestial Cosmeceutical''.
''My goodness! The Moran Corporation is a famouspany in Kynd, right? How can they do
something so shameless?''
''Didn''t the Moran Corporation say that they were going to enter the cosmeceutical industry? Are they
doing this to root out theirpetitors? They shouldpete fairly if they have the ability. Why are
they ying dirty?''
''This isn''t the first time the Moran Corporation is doing this. I heard that they dealt withpeting
companies like this before and they even ruined a few businesses!''
''The devil takes the hindmost. I have always used products from Celestial Cosmeceutical and my face
has never gone bad because of them. And here I was wondering why the well-reviewed Celestial
Cosmeceutical got such a bad rap on the Inte overnight. I''m utterly speechless.''
''Exactly! I''m also a big fan of Celestial and I''ve used all their products. I tried to defend them at first but
ended up getting scolded so badly. I bet those were all paidmenters that the Moran Corporation
hired to bring downpetitors and give their own reputation a boost. Ha! Anyway, I''m never going to
support the Moran Corporation!''
All kinds ofments emerged endlessly and without exception, they were all negative remarks about
the Moran Corporation.
The terrified essistent wes picked up like e chick with his heed helplessly tilted upwerd.
"I-It''s true, Mr. Meson end Mr. Williem! The subordes reported it just now. I wouldn''t sey something I
wesn''t sure ebout…"
Meson gritted his teeth end snepped, "Let him go, Williem! We''ll listen to whet he hes to sey!"
Williem wes so engry thet he wes no longer esplecent es he wes e minute ego. He swiftly let go of
his grip end pushed the essistent ewey.
The essistent then stumbled beckwerd end coughed.
"Tell us!" Meson urged. "Whet''s going on?!"
The essistent took e while to celm down before he geve e rough explion with e bitter look on his

At thet, Williem immedietely took out his phone to check the news online. He then sew the top trending
seerch—''Moren Corporetion Fremes Celestiel Cosmeceuticel''.
''My goodness! The Moren Corporetion is e femouspeny in Kyolend, right? How cen they do
something so shemeless?''
''Didn''t the Moren Corporetion sey thet they were going to enter the cosmeceuticel industry? Are they

All kinds ofments emerged endlessly end without exception, they were ell negetive remerks ebout
the Moren Corporetion.
William scrolled through his phone for a while and it looked like his bloodshot eyes were going to pop
out any second now. Even the phone he was holding almost turned into a piece of scrap metal.
"How could Zeref be investigated? Who the hell did this? Zeref is such an ungrateful b*stard! I bribed
him because I thought highly of him and yet, he''s stabbing me in the back after taking so much of my
money?!"
Bam!
A loud bang resounded in the office; it was the sound of Mason smashing the table''s ashtray onto the
carpet.
His face was filled with rage. Any traces of appreciation and satisfaction he had for his son had now
disappeared, and only anger remained.
"Look at what you did! You can''t even do something so simple and now, you''ve dragged the Moran
Corporation into deep sh*t! You''ve only made things worse!" Mason roared.
William could only let his head hand slightly as he clenched his jaw.
The trembling assistant spoke again, delivering worse news.
"Mr. Mason, those in Hovington havemunicated with the officials in Kynd. The chief of
Kynd''s prosecutor''s office will being here soon. I''m afraid… I''m afraid he will take either of you
away for questioning…"
The expressions of both father and son darkened even more.
They already understood what was going on at this point—this was Celestial Cosmeceutical''s
counterattack.
"Ha! Celestial Cosmeceutical really is something!" Mason''s expression was thunderous, and he
seemed to be squeezing every word out from between gritted teeth. "I''ve underestimated you! I will
crush you like an ant someday!"
…
Katherine was at the hospital when she heard the news. "The Moran Corporation had iting. It''s
their fault for not having good intentions. Ha! Trying to do me dirty? Do they think I can''t do the same?"
Joaquin raised his eyebrows. "You''re not exactly ying dirty. You had solid evidence. It''s just that you
gave them a taste of their own medicine."
"Mhm. The Moran Corporation wanted to use hard evidence and public opinion to bring down Celestial
Cosmeceutical, so I did what they wanted to do to me. I''ll let them know what it feels like to be
completely reviled by public opinion."
Joaquin nced at his phone and said calmly, "The chief of the prosecutor''s office should have already
taken them away."
Katherine grunted in response, not giving it much thought. "They''re going to be released anyway."

Seeing how clear-headed she was, he couldn''t help being a little curious. "Well, are you going to let
them go just like that?"
"Let them go? Oh, how could I?" She mockingly quirked her exquisite eyebrows. "Since the Moran
Family has the guts to provoke me, they shouldn''t even dream of living in peace after this."
She knew she wasn''t one to kill people with kindness. She could never pretend as though nothing had
happened.
"No good wille from letting a tumor like the Moran Family stay in Kynd. It''s no wonder Kynd''s
economy has been stagnant all these years. It''s because there''s a business like theirs in town."
She then leisurely took a peek at the screen of her phone that disyed the Moran Corporation''s stock
performance.
"I can be as heartless as they are. Trying to bring down Celestial Cosmeceutical? Ha! They should be
worrying about themselves. Who knows? They might go bankrupt in a few days."
After muttering that under her breath, Katherine kept her phone away. "I''ll check if Keith''s awake."
Joaquin nodded without getting up immediately. He knew nothing bad would happen. After all, there
were professional nurses next door to take care of Keith.
Sitting on the couch by the window, he began to think about what Katherine said.
Although she didn''t say it outright, he could guess that she was going to go all out against the Moran
Corporation.
This incident had caused a stir but with the Moran Corporation''s influence in Kynd, they could easily
get themselves out of this mess.
To bring down the well-established Moran Corporation, they would have to tackle the most fundamental
interests.
The Moran Corporation wasn''t new to doing evil deeds. The reason they continued to stand tall before
this was that they had the protection of officials in Kynd.
The officials turned a blind eye because the Moran Corporation could give them certain benefits and
merits.
The greatest benefit and achievement were mainly in the transnational project jointlyunched by the
Moran Corporation and the officials!
Joaquin squinted at the thought before he gave Ben a call.
"Has anything big happened to Celestial Cosmeceuticaltely?"
On the other end of the line, Ben replied carelessly, "Not really. They''re recovering now and they got
even more famous than before. However, I did notice that the person in charge, Nadia Read, seems to
be in contact with arge foreignpany."
Joaquin''s eyebrows rose. "Whichpany is it?"
"Matix."
Joaquin slowly let out a chuckle upon hearing that.
