âWhat did you say? Cancer causing?â Miles Silverton visibly paled as he turned toward Anderson Sawyer, signaling for him to step up and come up with an explanation.However, Anderson only shook his head frantically as he yelled, âThatâs impossible! Impossible! Mr. Russell, there must have been a mistake. Run the test again!âThe reporters who were livestreaming the inspection were having a field day. Angry netizens on the livestreamâs chatroom demanded for an explanation from Silverton Corporation.âMr. Sawyer, you witnessed the inspection itself. We took the exact same steps and procedures as yesterdayâs test, under the observation and scrutiny of the everyone in this room and online as well,â Mr. Russell responded with an irritated tone. âAre you questioning my expertise just because the results are not what you expected?ââIâ¦â Anderson was at a loss for words. He knew that there was little to no chance that Mr. Russell could have fabricated the test results, considering the heavy scrutiny. However, he could not understand how their cream failed the inspection when Kareem Fashionâs cream passed. They were the exact same thing!âAre you messing with me, Anderson Sawyer?!â Miles Silverton yelled at him as he lunged forward at him. âDidnât you guarantee that the formula was exactly the same as Kareem Fashionâs? Well then, how did they pass the inspection?!â
Miles knew the implications for Silverton Corporation if news of the company manufacturing a cancer-
causing product got out. It would be a disaster for the companyâs image and sales, and the company might not survive a scandal like that. He could only pin the entire blame on Anderson. âI⦠I donât know what happenedâ¦â Anderson stammered, equally as confused as Miles.âWell, well. I see Silverton Corporation has finally admitted to buying and using the same formula that Kareem Fashion formulated,â Skylar icy voice broke through the clamor. âEverything youâve just said has been recorded by members of the press here today. Donât even think about denying it.ââYouâ¦â Miles pointed an accusatory finger at Skylar, ready to yell profanities at him. However, he decided against it as the sound of camera flashes went off in his direction.Skylar Stone turned to Anderson with a menacing look on his face. âAnderson Sawyer, as stipulated in the contract, youâll have to pay a compensation fee of $60million for breaking the contract. I expect not a cent less from you, or I will make sure you get trampled to the ground so hard that youâll never be able to get back up again. Try me, if you dare!âAnderson shuddered in fear, clenching his jaw anxiously as he took a good look at Skylar Stone.
The faint glint of amusement twinkling in Skylarâs eyes did not sleep past him. That bastard was enjoying himself! Anderson realized. All of a sudden, an even bigger realization hit him. Could heâ¦
have planned this all along?âSkylar Stone! What did you do?!â Anderson looked at Skylar accusatorily.
âI sold the same formula to the both of you. How did yours pass the inspection?!â he demanded to know. Both Miles and Anderson looked as though they were about to pass out from a heart attack.Suddenly, Miles looked up with clarity in his eyes as the epiphany struck him. âUnless⦠Kareem Fashion made improvements to the original formula!â
