Chapter 180: Hidden Truth
“No Archer Corporation subsidiaries have access to the drugs outside the authorised research and development teams,” he said, tapping his finger on the table. “So I will ask again, how did your client obtain it?”A brief pause settled in the room. When the first lawyer opened his mouth, Ryan continued."The only known unauthorised entity to have gained access to Project Virgo was a criminal organisation that infiltrated one of our facilities. They impersonated authorised personnel, and that breach was discovered. The individuals involved are currently being investigated and have been charged.”The man sitting across from Ryan clenched his teeth, but he ignored him.“So unless you're suggesting that my company illegally distributed an unreleased drug to your clients, I'm interested in hearing your explanation.”The first layer leant forward. “How he got it is irrelevant because —”“Is it?” Ryan asked.The man's frustration finally exploded. He slammed his hand on the desk, and the soun
Chapter 179: Deposition ii
The three lawyers shifted their gaze from their client to the figures standing across the room. Ryan Wright stood near the entrance, one hand resting casually at his side while the other remained tucked inside the pocket of his black trousers. His expression was composed, almost indifferent, but there was something in the way he carried himself that immediately separated him from everyone else in the room. The confidence masking his features gave them a hint he wasn't a regular employee entering without notice, given the situation. Ryan noticed his presence not only dragged silence across the room but also stopped the deposition. The man sitting across from Harrison slowly straightened in his chair, while the other lawyers glanced towards the door then back at him.Ryan didn't acknowledge him. Instead, his attention moved towards Harrison. For the brief second, neither man spoke. Harrison's expression remained controlled, but Ryan could see the question hidden behind his eyes.‘Wha
Chapter 178: Deposition
Curiosity instantly masked their faces as they tried to decipher which one of them was the heir of Archer Corporation.“Good morning, sorry for the wait,” Harrison muttered, taking one last glance at the groups already sitting opposite him.None of them reciprocated his greeting, as they all held a little frown across their foreheads. The lawyer tried not to be nervous, but they could see that through their hands.Harrison settled in and let out a small smile, shifting his gaze to the lawyers in front of them. “Why don't we get down to business?" he announced, and the soft click of the latch opening sounded in the quiet room.Harrison studied the three clients. The man was in his early forties, judging by his appearance. He wore an expensive suit, but his nervous fingers repeatedly tapped against his knee.The first woman looked older with her arms crossed tightly over her chest, while the second woman looked younger, perhaps in her late twenties, and kept glancing toward the door as
Chapter 177: Interrogation
Darwin remained silent and then returned to his seat. "I…I sold the prototype drugs." His voice cracked. "They promised me millions and said no one would know,” he paused. Darwin's fist slammed into the table again, and he flinched. "I didn't know. I thought they were other pharmaceutical companies that wanted to replicate it, but I didn't know they were drug traffickers,” he announced, closing his eyes as the memory of the people crawled into his mind. “Dr. Jackson, do you know what you have done?” “They said if I stopped, they would kill me!” The man whimpered with tears now flowing freely down his cheek. “You have not only distributed the company's latest project, costing millions, but also endangered lives; the drugs have been paused for further adjustments." Darwin leaned back into his chair, and Dr. Jackson shook his head, unable to see him through the bright light. “P… Please forgive me! I will do anything,” he choked between his words. “I…I would do anything. I w
Chapter 176: Help!
"What is the meaning of this?! I've done nothing wrong!" He yelled at the security men, but none of them paid any attention. He averted his gaze to the commander. “Let me go, Commander! This is abuse of authority!" His protests echoed through the hallway as he was escorted outside. The crowd, noticing the retreat from the room, instantly parted, and the staff who had worked beside him for years stared with disbelief. Some whispered behind trembling hands, and not a single person dared intervene. “Help!” he yelled. “This man is illegally detaining me!” He called out to his former colleagues, but none of them stepped forward. Ryan finally walked behind the officers at an unhurried pace. The commander remained one step behind him. “Mr. Wright, what about them?” He said, pointing back at the two men who were still inside the room. He took one last glance at them. “The departmental board would sort them out,” he responded. The other staff hearing the commander's words narrow
Chapter 175: Dr. Jackson Protest
Dr. Jackson's mouth went dry, and for several long seconds, the room seemed suspended in silence. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead, the steady sound suddenly deafening against the absence of voices. Every pair of eyes remained fixed on the Commander. Just moments ago, the men were hoping the commander would give them orders to drag Ryan out of the office; now they stood with complete respect. Dr. Jackson, who was caught off guard by the sudden change in the commander's attitude, blinked several times as if his mind were refusing to process what he was seeing. He shifted his gaze from the Commander to Ryan, then back again, searching desperately for some explanation that would make everything feel real. Ryan remained calm, and his expression only served to increase the tension in the doctor's chest. "C... Commander,” Dr. Jackson called. What's going on?" He asked. The commander didn't answer; rather, his gaze swept across the other security men standing behind him. A
