Chapter 231

Over in the laboratory, Artemis narrowed his eyes, looking at the drug in Bailey's hand. “Are you sure it's contaminated?”

Bailey threw him an icy glance. “I'm the one who researched this drug, so I know it like the back of my hand. Do you think I won't realize any differences if there's some reaction?” she enunciated every word.

Okay... She didn't have to respond this defensively, but I guess she's right. This drug can save lives. If it's contaminated with other substances, people might end up dead. Any medical researcher would be pissed if this were to happen.

“Fine. It's clear how we can solve this since you've confirmed it. This reagent is taken from Dyke Pharmaceutical, meaning either the executives in that company are bought over or the company's core management team is problematic. I'll send someone to get to the bottom of this.”

Bailey smiled at his suggestion. “Why should we investigate? There's no need for that. As long as this drug is not sold to the consumers but remains in the warehouse, there's nothing we should be worried about. Just let them produce as many as they want until we find the evidence of their crime, identify the culprit, and completely stamp out this unethical player in the pharmaceutical industry.”

Artemis' eyelids twitched.

This woman is savage. How she deals with this issue is solid proof of why no one should ever cross her path. She holds a grudge forever.

“By the way, do you know anything about Dyke Pharmaceutical? Who backs this company?” Bailey asked.

Artemis frowned and fell into a brief silence. “It's a subsidiary under Shurmer Group.”

Bailey paused and asked, “Shurmer Group? You mean the family from Lostaria.”

“You're right. Zeke Shurmer is the person at the helm of the family now. I heard he'll be coming to Hallsbay with his parents for someone's death anniversary in two days. Do you want me to contact him?”

“No,” Bailey answered, shaking her head. “He's responsible for his company's mismanagement. If you expose his shortcoming now, you're making an enemy out of him. Besides, we don't know if he's involved himself. We might end up alarming him. What about I ask Juliana to reach out and talk to him in private? We'll test the waters and see what's his stance. As for you, you should keep out of this for now.”

Artemis' brows raised in a smile. “Honey, are you worried about me?”

“Get lost. Don't make me puke,” Bailey snapped, kicking him.

Meanwhile, at a highly-accredited national medical research center in the capital, Veronique met an elderly man in the lounge.
