Chapter 219
The Almighty Dragon General
âI thought someone had died in Eternality Hospital.â âI thought something was wrong with the
medicine.â ââTsk, it was all an act.â âHow shameless of them.â Disinterested, the crowd dispersed.
In the hallway of Eternality Hospital, Gladys rebuked James, âWhat are you doing? That was the
perfect advertisement opportunity. Now, youâve ruined it all. What do you mean by a publicity stunt?
Does this look like one to you?â
James took a seat and lit a cigarette.
Lex asked, âWhatâs going on, James? Did you really arrange for this?â âArrange?â
Jamesâ face darkened. âHow would I have the time for this? With so many things going wrong all at
once, does this look like a publicity stunt to you? If we donât say so, do we admit something was wrong
with our medicine? Do you know how much damage that would cost us if the media got to the bottom
of this?â
Tommy stepped forward and said, âAre you trying to say something was wrong with our medicine?â
James nodded. âMost likely.â
Tommy said coldly, âEven if somethingâs wrong with the medicine, whose fault do you think it is? Theaâs
the chairman of Eternality, and she makes every decision of the company. Thea, I heard Eternality
recently changed medicine suppliers. Is that true?â
James glanced at Thea.

Thea nodded. âIndeed. Our previous supplier was a small company. With the deepening of our
collaboration with Celestial Group, 1 terminated the contract with the previous companies and started
getting our supplies from Celestial Group. Celestial Group is a well-established corporation, and its
medicine should be fine.â
Megan spoke sarcastically, âOnly you would know if anything was wrong with the medicine. The profit is
great, after all. Who knows if youâve been pocketing the earnings and selling fake medicine instead?â
Thatâs right.â Tommy looked at Lex and said, âGrandpa, you have to look into this. Everything was fine
at Eternality before Thea became the chairman. It has only been a few days. Look at what happened
already. Besides, I heard David had bought a two-million-dollar luxury car. Itâs not the end of the month
yet, and the dividends have not been issued. How did he get all that money?
Megan nodded. âYou mustâve been putting too much in your pockets. You mustâve at least taken a
couple of million from the company. After all, youâve even got yourself a new two million dollar luxury
car.â
David yelled, âBullsh*t. I bought this car a long time ago. And I paid for it myself.â Gladys was
dissatisfied too. She scolded him. âWatch your words, you two. Thea would never do such a thing.â
Lex glanced at Thea.
âThea, itâs normal for you to do this with your position. However, you shouldâve wholeheartedly devoted
yourself to the familyâs business. Using substandard medicine would ruin our reputation. Itâd cause
terrible consequences for our family.â
âGrandpa, Iâm innocent.â Thea was aggrieved.
She had devoted herself to the familyâs business. She had been visiting large medical corporations like
Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals.
She had not taken a single cent from the company, let alone pocketed some for herself. âHow dare you,
James? How dare you, Thea?â Tommy cursed, âI finally understand everything. Not only did you
embezzle the companyâs funds, but you even colluded with outsiders to swindle money out of the
family. You could at least have nine million out of the ten million dollars you handed out today. Am I
right?â
Gladys rebuked him, âBullsh*t.â
David shouted, âTommy, donât you dare accuse us. What do you mean by colluding with outsiders? Do
you have evidence?â Tommy looked at Lex and said, âGrandpa, you need to get to the bottom of this. If
itâs true that Thea and her family are behind this, I believe we need to reconsider Theaâs position as the
companyâs chairman. If this continues, the business will be in ruins.â âGrandpa, I didnât do anything. Iâm
innocent.â
Theaâs eyes were brimming with tears. Lex smoked his cigarette. It was nothing out of the ordinary for
a chairman to embezzle the companyâs funds. When Howard was the chairman, he too had pocketed
quite a sum. However, Lex had chosen to turn a blind eye.
As long as he could bring the family to greater heights, embezzling funds was not a big deal. However,
Thea had pushed it too far. He lightly waved. âWeâve yet to get to the bottom of this. Howard,
investigate the matter and provide me with an explanation as soon as possible.â âYes, father.â Howard
nodded.
Lex looked at Thea.
âThea, Iâve observed your performance for the past few days. Reforming the company and deepening
cooperation with Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals are steps in the right direction. Thatâs
why I pray that you have nothing to do with this. If I find out you were the one behind this all alongâ¦
Hmph!â
He snorted. Then, carrying his dragon cane, he walked away.
