Chapter 757 The Press Conference
It wasnât a good thing to grow up naïve in a family like the Bowers family.
If Samuel was telling Natalie that, it meant when he was little, he had to live in that âsurvival of the fittestâ
environment, too.
âYou must have had a rough childhood?â She glanced at him and asked.
âI donât remember,â he replied plainly. âMaybe I did have it rough, but if I didnât go through that cruel
experience, I wouldnât have become who I am today.â
She nodded.
Self-preservation was the first law of nature.
If Thomas and Yara didnât work together six years ago to try to kill her, she wouldâve still thought those
two were her only family in the world.
I bet Samuel had similar experiences like this too!
There was sympathy in the look she was directing at him. That made his heart tremble. He
subconsciously held her cheek and gazed into her clear eyes before saying, âThereâs no need to feel
sorry for me, silly. It doesnât matter how harsh my life was back then because the heavens have granted
me you and the children.â
âMhm.â She could feel the warmth from his palm. It touched her heart.
Dreamâs retaliation toward Dexmed Pharmaceutical was destructive.
Saunder, who was spouting about impartiality at the press conference back then, was discovered to be
using his position to accept a crazy amount of bribes. It was estimated that the bribes added up to at
least ten million, and that excluded the valuable gifts and prepaid cards he received in private.
According to the authorities, when they visited his place for investigation, they were bewildered by the
cash stacked high up inside his house.
After they swiftly gathered the evidence they needed, the court issued a warrant for Saunder, and he was
arrested by the police.
Thomas wasnât exactly doing great either. Not only did he cheat on his mentally deteriorating wife after
the passing of his daughter, but he also planned to divorce her. That heavily tarnished the brand image
of Dexmed Pharmaceutical.
Other than that, Dream, who survived the attack from Dexmed Pharmaceutical, released a series of
evidence. It proved that the company was engaged in undue competition and, in order to greatly
increased their profits, they trade off the quality and the production cost of the medicine.
That led to the authorities launching an investigation against Dexmed Pharmaceutical, which caused its
reputation to drop to an all-time low.
On the other hand, Dream had stopped laying low and started pulling out all the stops. The special
medicine that was effective in curing cancer had brought hope to the patients. That contributed greatly to
Dream Corporationâs soaring reputation.
The company was growing and expanding faster than many people expected. A lot of investors had sent
them letters and emails expressing their intentions to invest in the company.
In just a few days, Yandel had accepted countless investment proposals. The conditions listed inside
were so good that it made his jaw drop.
âThis is crazy, Boss.â Yandel rubbed his sore shoulder and stared at the pile of proposals in front of him.
There was pain and joy in his voice. âWhat should we do? So many people sent their investment
proposals in order to invest in Dream Pharmaceutical. Each of their proposals had conditions so
favorable that itâll make us laugh in our dreams!â
Natalie sipped her coffee and asked, âWhat do you think?â
âRight now, these investors should be able to see the companyâs potential. Theyâre eager to invest as
much as they can,â Yandel analyzed.
âThrow all of this away.â She placed her cup down and stared at him. âDream will reject any form of
capital investment. They only see Dreamâs recent performance and want to jump on the bandwagon by
investing in us. Thereâs no doubt they want a piece of our ever-expanding pie. These investors only care
about making money and nothing else.
Dream needs money, yes, but the pharmaceutical section doesnât need any. I donât want the medicine I
invented to be taken away by some greedy capitalist. Thatâs because I know theyâll inflate the price and
sell it for more money instead of delivering it into the hands of those who truly need it.â
