Chapter 535 Chapter 535 Lauren crossed her arms , smirking .
Michael , didnt warn you about Ruby ? I told you she couldnt be trusted , but no you insisted I was just jealous of that bitch .
Now look at whats happened .
If those forms fall into the hands of other pharmaceuticalpanies , the Pharmaceutical Division wont just take a hit itll copse entirely .
You might as well prepare to announce its closure .
Michaels face darkened further , his rage building like storm waves , each one crashing harder than thest .
He felt trapped .
Troy was his man , and the deal with Ruby was his decision .
Now , with such a colossal mistake , he could already imagine the bacsh from the Rhodes familys upper ranks .
The humiliation would shatter any dreams he had of bing the family head .
Worse , he would be remembered as the one who brought disgrace and ruin to thepany .
Seething with anger , Michaels eyes fell on Troy , who was still sprawled on the floor .
With a growl , he lunged at him , unleashing a brutal flurry of punches and kicks , each strike aimed at Troys face and head .
Mr.
Rhodes , stop ! Stop , please ! Troy screamed , his voice hoarse with desperation .
I was wrong , wrong ! Please , dont hit me anymore ! I was He shouted , Ms.
Rhodes , help me ! Please ! Ill take full responsibility whatever it takes .
Just make him stop ! Troys blood curdling cries echoed through the entire Rhodes Corporation office floor , drawing the attention ofpany veterans and department heads alike .
Initially , they had rushed over to calm Michael down , but the moment they heard Troy confess to leaking the forms , they froze , stunned into silence .
For any pharmaceuticalpany , proprietary forms were its lifeblood its most valuable asset .
These forms were not just products ; they represented years of research , billions in investment , and exclusive dominance in the market .
Hearing that three forms had beenpromised was not just rming it was catastrophic .
If these forms ended up in apetitors hands , they could immediately replicate the products , undercut prices , and destroy Rhodes Corporations monopoly .
As Michael continued to beat up Troy , the executives exchanged uneasy nces .
Some even seemed to silently agree that Troy deserved his punishment .
However , Andrew finally had enough .
Thats enough Beating him to death wont fix anything .
Troy was barely conscious , his body limp , his face bloodied and swollen , yet Michaels fists kept flying .
Andrew stepped forward , his tone sharp and cutting .
Michael , if you keep this up , youre going to kill him .
And then what ? Do you think being the CEO gives you a free pass tomit murder ? Michaels head snapped toward Andrew , his eyes wild with fury .
He shouted , This isnt your business , Andrew ! Andrews patience wore out .
He grabbed Michael by the cor and yanked him back , ring at him .
11 Chapter 535 Idiot .
Do you even hear yourself right now ? If you kill him , this goes from corporate negligence to outright homicide .
Is that the legacy you want for yourself ? Michael froze , Andrews words cutting through the haze of his rage like ice water .
He staggered back , suddenly realizing the gravity of the situation .
If Troy died here , it would not just ruin his career it would destroy his life , On the floor , Troyy curled up in a pitiful heap , barely conscious and covered in blood .
He could not even muster the strength to speak .
Andrew grimaced at the sight , muttering under his breath .
He turned to Eunice and instructed her to bring the first aid kit .
Once it arrived , he crouched beside Troy and began treating his injuries with practiced precision .
Afterward , Andrew scribbled down a prescription and handed it to him .
Take the medicine on this list for six months , and the infection in your body should gradually clear up .
But , Andrew added , his tone sharp and unyielding , remember this : theres still a high chance of a rpse .
If you have even an ounce of sense left , stay away from random flings .
