Chapter 35


    “What did you say?”


    Chris froze, thinking he had misheard him.


    “I said I’m not interested in a business that’s about to go bankrupt,” Dustin repeated.


    “Bankrupt?”


    Everyone was too stunned to react to his words.


    “How dare you! That’s nonsense!”


    Chris was shocked, but he quickly denied it. “Nn Pharmaceuticals is raking in profits. every day and i


    s at its prime. How could we go bankrupt? Stop fear–mongering!”


    “Only you know whether this is fear–


    mongering or not. Anyways, I’ve received news that Nn Pharmaceuticals will be investigated due to t


    he sale of counterfeit illicit drugs. It’s just a matter of time before they go bankrupt.” Dustin’s words wer


    e very shocking.


    “Counterfeit drugs? Investigated?”


    Now, everyone was even more puzzled.


    Their


    gaze turned to Chris.


    “Nonsense! All of it is nonsense!”


    “Dustin, stop spreading these rumors. Nn Pharmaceuticals is aw–


    abiding.pany. How could it go under investigation? I can sue you for defamation!” Chris threatened


    .


    His words may appear firm, but he was in turmoil on the inside. Nn Pharmaceuticals was


    indeed under investigation and would go bankrupt soon. He intended to list thepany as a publicly t


    radedpany to raise capital so he could run off with a fortune.


    However, the news had been suppressed. How did Dustin know without it being leaked?


    “Dustin, what nonsense are


    you spewing? How can apany as sessful as Nn. Pharmaceuticals go bankrupt?” Florence r


    eprimanded.


    “That’s right! Everyone knows that Nn Pharmaceuticals has good assets and is at the peak of se


    ss. Stop spreading lies!” James also piped in.


    It was obvious they doubted him. After all, the Nn family had a long history in


    Swinton. They also maintained a good reputation, so it did not seem possible to have


    issues.


    “It’s the truth. Nn Pharmaceuticals is about to go under, and the so–


    called ‘capital increase and share expansion‘ is nothing than a money–grabbing scam.”


    Chris even contacted Mason to borrow money. The investigation of thepany and its bankruptcy we


    re obviously true.


    “Bullshit! I just wanted to do everyone a favor because we’re close. It’s fine if you


    choose not to ept my offer, but how dare you nder me? What intentions do you have?” Chris crie


    d out.


    “Mr. Rhys, it’s


    fine if you’re not able to help us. But why cause trouble when Chris just wants to help us? You’re really


    devious!”


    “That’s right! This fellow must be ndering Chris because he’s jealous!”


    “Dustin, you’re so despicable!”


    Everyone started to chime in, one after another.


    Dustin was poor, while Chris had power and money. Between the two, they were more inclined


    to believe Chris.


    Dustin couldn’t help but frown as he watched themotion. He did not expect his kind intentions to b


    e returned with such a negative reaction. This proved that no one would believe a man without money


    or power. 1


    “Dustin, do you have proof that Nn Pharmaceuticals is going bankrupt?” Dahlia suddenly asked. She


    had invested eight million worth of funds. Naturally, she had to be

    “I don’t have evidence. But what I said was the truth. You can check if you don’t believe me. You should


    be able to trace the information,” Dustin replied coldly.


    Dahlia’s expression darkened at his words. Did this mean he was just making it up? She even had high


    expectations for him. It turned out he was just making false usations. This must be the result of his j


    ealousy turning into hatred.


    “Everyone, since Dustin imed I’m a swindler, just forget the matter about the


    shares, lest I rip off everyone.”


    Seeing that the timing was right, Chris deliberately put on an act as if he had been wronged.
