Chapter 259

"The Emerald Elixir is dangerous?" Murmurs erupted like wildfire spreading panic and suspicion through the hall.

At the heart of the disruption stood a police officer, rotund with arrogance and disdain plainly painted on his flushed, perspiring face.

His voice boomed obnoxiously, a smug sneer twisting his lips, “When I declare something dangerous, you better believe it's deadly!"

Jasmien's eyes widened in shock, her heart plunging to her stomach.

This was a disaster she hadn't anticipated.

An incident like this at her meticulously arranged press conference spelled doom.

Even if the product was later proven harmless, Kingston Pharmaceutical's reputation still hung by a thread.

The media would pounce first-and by the time the truth surfaced the damage would already be irreversible. The stain on their name could outlast the facts, lingering like a shadow.

The word "dangerous" echoed ominously, branding the Elixir with a toxic stigma—a curse that could door its commercial future.

From amidst the restless, whispering crowd, one woman surged forward, eyes blazing with indignation.

Snatching the microphone with defiant grace, she declared fiercely, "I am Dr. Joane, endorsing this very product! How dare you claim it's dangerous?"

The crowd stirred, a ripple of restless whispers spreading like a current.

"Wait-this product is endorsed by Dr. Joane. There's no way it could be dangerous. She tested it herself!" someone exclaimed, their voice laced with disbelief.

"That's right," another chimed in, louder now. "It's completely safe. Dr. Joane wouldn't lie."

"A doctor of her reputation?" someone else called out. "She'd never risk her entire career on a harmful product-it would destroy her!"

And just like that, the tide began to turn. Doubt gave way to shocked realization. Inspector Ferdie White, however, was unmoved, his gaze glazed with indifference. His conscience, long silenced by bribes and self-interest, cared nothing for truth or justice.
