After delivering his harsh ultimatum, Dominic threw a pointed look at the groaning, supposedly ill patients.
Stirred into a frenzy, the patients immediately began shouting their protests at Melanie.
Melanie calmly lowered the documents.
"I've seen all of this..."
She held her hand out to Dominic once more.
"Now, please, VP Hale... show me the actual supplements in question."
A flicker of guilt briefly crossed Dominic's face.
Recovering quickly, he ordered his assistant to fetch the allegedly tainted products and hand them over.
Around them, both Holden and Vice Director Thorne looked thoroughly confident.
With the evidence so seemingly airtight, they couldn't see any way for Melanie to turn this around.
Gavin, however, kept his brow deeply furrowed, his eyes betraying a heavy internal conflict.
As a legacy pharmaceutical brand, the Royce Group had partnered directly with Stellaris PharmaTech for these specific supplements.
Gavin simply didn't believe that a joint venture between the Royce Group and Stellaris would ever yield such disastrous quality control issues.
But...
Lab results didn't lie.
If the Hale Group really had tampered with something, he would feel an immense burden of guilt toward Melanie.
On the other hand, if the Royce Group's production wasn't halted, the Lockridge Group stood to lose even more of their market share.
Naturally, that wasn't an outcome Gavin wanted either.
At the end of the day, he was still a Lockridge.
As a result, out of everyone present, Gavin appeared the most tense, his expression grim.
Standing in stark contrast was Minister Lilian Halevy.
Lilian's relaxed demeanor was different from Melanie's. She simply stood there with a pleasant, crinkled smile, her focus entirely detached from the drama over the supplements.
