Chapter 723 The Tables Have Turned 2 At that moment, the color drained from Thomasâ and Saunderâs faces. As both men sat among the panel, they started breaking out in cold sweats.
âErm...â
The Medical Association was supposed to represent all the pharmaceutical companies within the industry. Yet, the head of the association was now in cahoots with the leading pharmaceutical company, and the former was using his influence to gain personal benefits. How scandalous!
Right then, Thomas and Saunder exchanged meaningful glances. Both of them desperately wanted to know who leaked the recording.
Even Yara was confused by the turn of events. She knitted her brows and stared at Thomas. How could this happen when the press conference is about to end?
âPlease explain yourself, Mr. Todd,â the journalists urged.
âSomeone must have doctored the recording to frame us!â Saunder had no choice but to make up a lie. âSomeone must be trying to use the opportunity the defame Dexmed Pharmaceutical and me!â
Thereâs no way Iâll admit to the things Iâve done!
Saunder knew the recording was real, but coming clean would ruin his reputation as the president of the Medical Association and cause him to lose everything.
Upon noticing Saunderâs eye gesture, Thomas stepped in and said steadily, âWhat Mr. Todd said is correct. Someone made this up to defame us! Weâve worked so hard to support the enterprises and our patients, yet some people or certain enterprises feel that the good things we have done are against their interests. That is why they did this to bring us down!â
Some people?
Certain enterprises?
He did not say it out clearly, but every remark he made seemed to have insinuated that Dream Corporation, Natalie, and Yandel were the culprits behind this.
When Thomas realized the journalists had become less confrontational, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and regained his composure. âDear members of the press and live stream viewers, Dexmed Pharmaceutical is a century-old company, and Iâve been working hard ever since I took over the business from my father-in-law, Mr. Arnold Bayer.â
âI, Thomas Nichols, am not a hypocrite. Integrity and safety of the people have always been my priorities!â he added.
Thomas was a charismatic speaker, and the remarks he had won the journalistsâ and the crowdâs hearts.
Meanwhile, a young woman, who was behind the stage, smirked disdainfully upon hearing what he said.
I see. Still trying to act, huh? After my granddadâs passing, my mom and I fled to the countryside in desperation to save our lives.
It wouldnât have happened if he hadnât plotted against us. How dare he put on an act to convince the world that heâs a noble man?
The woman spoke into the Bluetooth earpiece, âPlay another recording.â
âOkay.â
After Thomas ended his speech, the hall started playing another recording.
âDear, Iâm in love with the Rolls-Royce you gave me. My friends are very envious of me!â
âYouâll be giving birth to my baby in another seven months, and heâll be my one and only son! Iâve had two wives in the past, but youâre the best!â
The womanâs labored breathing in the recording seemed to have hinted that she was having an intimate moment with Thomas.
She responded coquettishly, âSo youâre only treating me well because Iâm going to give you a son? I thought you said you love me?â
âI love you, of course! I love you to the moon and back! Youâre my sweet darling!â
âWhen will you be marrying me then? Now that Yvonne is in the mental hospital because of you, donât you think itâs time for you to divorce her? I donât want to rush you, but donât forget about the baby! People will see our baby as an illegitimate child if weâre not married!â
âIâll definitely divorce her and marry you! Give me another three months! Iâll marry you after acquiring Dream Pharmaceutical!â
âOkay, dear!â
The recording then continued with obscene dialogues between the two.
