“What did you say?”

Chris froze, thinking he had misheard him.

“I said I’m not interested in a business that’s about to go bankrupt,” Dustin repeated.

“Bankrupt?”

Everyone was too stunned to react to his words.

“How dare you! That’s nonsense!”

Chris was shocked, but he quickly denied it. “Nn Pharmaceuticals is raking in profits. every day and

is at its prime. How could we go bankrupt? Stop fear–mongering!”

“Only you know whether this is fear–mongering or not. Anyways, I’ve received news that Nn

Pharmaceuticals will be investigated due to the sale of counterfeit illicit drugs. It’s just a matter of time

before they go bankrupt.” Dustin’s words were very shocking.

“Counterfeit drugs? Investigated?”

Now, everyone was even more puzzled.

Their

gaze turned to Chris.

“Nonsense! All of it is nonsense!”

“Dustin, stop spreading these rumors. Nn Pharmaceuticals is aw–abiding.pany. How could it

go under investigation? I can sue you for defamation!” Chris threatened.

His words may appear firm, but he was in turmoil on the inside. Nn Pharmaceuticals was indeed

under investigation and would go bankrupt soon. He intended to list thepany as a publicly traded

company to raise capital so he could run off with a fortune.

However, the news had been suppressed. How did Dustin know without it being leaked?

“Dustin, what nonsense are you spewing? How can apany as sessful as Nn.

Pharmaceuticals go bankrupt?” Florence reprimanded.

“That’s right! Everyone knows that Nn Pharmaceuticals has good assets and is at the peak of

sess. Stop spreading lies!” James also piped in.

It was obvious they doubted him. After all, the Nn family had a long history in

Swinton. They also maintained a good reputation, so it did not seem possible to have

issues.

“It’s the truth. Nn Pharmaceuticals is about to go under, and the so–called ‘capital increase and

share expansion‘ is nothing than a money–grabbing scam.”

Chris even contacted Mason to borrow money. The investigation of thepany and its bankruptcy

were obviously true.

“Bullshit! I just wanted to do everyone a favor because we’re close. It’s fine if you

choose not to ept my offer, but how dare you nder me? What intentions do you have?” Chris

cried out.

“Mr. Rhys, it’s fine if you’re not able to help us. But why cause trouble when Chris just wants to help

us? You’re really devious!”

“That’s right! This fellow must be ndering Chris because he’s jealous!”

“Dustin, you’re so despicable!”

Everyone started to chime in, one after another.

Dustin was poor, while Chris had power and money. Between the two, they were more inclined to

believe Chris.

Dustin couldn’t help but frown as he watched themotion. He did not expect his kind intentions to

be returned with such a negative reaction. This proved that no one would believe a man without money

or power. 1

“Dustin, do you have proof that Nn Pharmaceuticals is going bankrupt?” Dahlia suddenly asked. She

had invested eight million worth of funds. Naturally, she had to be

cautio

“I don’t have evidence. But what I said was the truth. You can check if you don’t believe me. You should

be able to trace the information,” Dustin replied coldly.

Dahlia’s expression darkened at his words. Did this mean he was just making it up? She even had high

expectations for him. It turned out he was just making false usations. This must be the result of his

jealousy turning into hatred.

“Everyone, since Dustin imed I’m a swindler, just forget the matter about the

shares, lest I rip off everyone.”

Seeing that the timing was right, Chris deliberately put on an act as if he had been wronged.
