CHAPTER 135: CHAPTER 135: THE SCOOP ISN’T ENOUGH YET

The head of the Pharmaceutical Bureau nodded, "This matter is indeed very serious. Miss Sinclairs needs to come with us to cooperate with the investigation."

Zachary Quinn spoke coldly, "The Hawthorne Group nearly killed my grandfather. There must be an explanation for this. Otherwise, the Quinn Family won’t let it go!"

Jordan Hawthorne and Brooke Sinclairs couldn’t look more upset by what they heard.

Especially the latter, whose face showed signs of panic.

How could she go to the police station?

This matter had nothing to do with her.

She instinctively grabbed Jordan Hawthorne’s hand, looking pitiful, "Jordan, I don’t want to go to the police station. The drug was developed by the team. If there’s a problem with the data, it’s only negligence... How can it be related to harming others?"

Sabrina immediately retorted sarcastically, "Miss Sinclairs, you’re mistaken. You are the head of the R&D department. The drug was passed by you, you organized its launch, and you personally facilitated Elder Quinn’s usage... Now you want to distance yourself from it?

If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t it the Hawthorne Group’s policy that if a department had issues, the person in charge must take responsibility?

What is it? Did the rules change as soon as I left the Hawthorne Group?

Or is it... are you guilty, knowing there was an issue with the drug, but were concerned about the cost to the Hawthorne Group, so pretended not to know and insisted on launching it?

If that’s the case, then it should be investigated even more!"

Brooke Sinclairs was nearly furious to death.

Sabrina, this bitch, dared to distort the truth like this.

However, the head of the Pharmaceutical Bureau and Zachary Quinn clearly heard it, and their expressions instantly became very serious.

The latter didn’t waste words, directly called the police.

Jordan Hawthorne’s face was ashen.

The Hawthorne Group had been in the business world for so many years without ever being investigated. Who knew that with just a stir from Sabrina, it would come to this.

He was extremely angry inside, and his gaze became sharp as he stared at Sabrina, "When did you learn this open-mouthed slander? Even if there were problems with the Hawthorne Group’s drugs, at most, it would be a lack of proper review causing such oversight, and you could link it to reckless endangerment?"

Sabrina faced his imposing presence without fear, "Is President Hawthorne admitting now that your drug has issues? But earlier, before comparing the data, why were you insisting it wasn’t a problem with your drug?

This back and forth attitude is quite intriguing!"

She paused briefly, looking at Elder Quinn, "Do you think so? Shouldn’t it be pursued?"

Before Elder Quinn could respond, Zachary Quinn rushed to speak, "Impossible, this matter must be pursued to the end. This Miss Sinclairs was so confident from the start, guaranteeing the drug was fine. But my grandfather nearly lost his life.

Whether intentional or unintentional error, the responsibility is yours!

There’s no need to argue here. Let’s wait for the police to come and deal with it!"

Jordan Hawthorne frowned deeply.

In ordinary times, he could use some means to suppress the matter.

Unfortunately, the one affected is Elder Quinn.

The Quinn Family holds an important position in Aethel, offending them wouldn’t be beneficial.

Moreover, if the matter escalated, the Hawthorne Group’s reputation and stock price would be greatly affected.

Thinking of this, Jordan Hawthorne had no choice but to restrain his temper, "Fine, we will cooperate with the investigation."

Brooke Sinclairs could hardly believe her ears.

He actually agreed?

"Jordan..."

She couldn’t help but tug at his sleeve, her voice pitiful and pleading.

Jordan Hawthorne, still furious, couldn’t attend to comforting her.

Sabrina squinted, seems like... the juicy part still isn’t enough!

She quickly calculated in her mind, looking at Jordan Hawthorne’s tall figure, and said calmly, "Do you regret how you treated me before? You looked down on me, dismissed my abilities, but the result...

The system I developed surpasses Brooke Sinclairs, and the new drug I developed is even better than hers!

Jordan Hawthorne, is this your judgment? It seems rather ordinary!

For someone like that, you coldly treated Zara and me... even went so far as divorce.

Now that the Hawthorne Group is in this situation, are you happy?"

These words struck Jordan Hawthorne’s heart like a heavy blow, leaving his eyes somewhat dazed.

Melody Quinn was also stunned, "Wait a minute, Dr. Hayes, what did you mean by what you just said? You’re saying you and President Hawthorne were originally married, and you got divorced???"

Sabrina gave her a cold glance and said, "My four-year marriage with him was ended because Brooke Sinclairs returned to the country for a few months...

If Miss Quinn steps outside and inquires a bit, you’ll learn how the great CEO of the Hawthorne Group in Veridia treated his wife and child in favor of his so-called first love."

Upon hearing this, Melody Quinn was furious, "Damn you, Brooke Sinclairs, turns out you are the other woman, yet you misled us here. How can you be so shameless?

Destroying someone else’s marriage and family, yet have the nerve to act innocent here, the audacity you have, it’s disgusting!

Still have the nerve to flaunt your love in front of me, pfft! You pair of dogs!"

Brooke Sinclairs was already uneasy due to the drug problem.

Her intention was to create substantial profit for the Hawthorne Group, to gain Jordan’s notice and devotion.

But now, after Sabrina’s words, he was clearly wavering.

This cannot happen...

"Sabrina, stop sowing discord. Do you think this will make Jordan come back to you? I’m telling you, stop dreaming. He belongs to me, and only me!

Back then we separated, it was against our will. Now being together again is just to fulfill what we couldn’t back then!"

"Ha, that’s hard to say. Once the police come, even if you don’t go to jail, you’ll still be detained... Furthermore, this drug can’t be launched, the losses seem substantial, right?

I’m curious if the Hawthorne Group’s stakeholders will protect you, if the Hawthorne Family couple truly won’t make a fuss about this?

They care about face the most, accepting a daughter-in-law who has a child with someone else was already an exception, if ’having been in jail’ is added, will they still treat you the same?

Attempted murder is a serious matter after all, in the future, will high society ridicule you?"

As Sabrina spoke, her expression began to show signs of gloating.

Brooke Sinclairs’ face changed slightly, recalling the situation at the Hawthorne Family.

Though the Hawthorne couple seemed fond of her now, if there was any damage to the Hawthorne Group’s interests, surely the blame would fall on her head.

Not to mention the Hawthorne Group’s shareholders, each more difficult than the other, in the future, it would be hard for her to stand her ground at the Hawthorne Group.

As she was feeling uncertain, the police arrived.

Zachary Quinn immediately explained the situation, emphasizing, "Our Quinn Family is definitely going to sue her!"

Upon hearing this, the police said right away, "Then Miss Sinclairs, please come with us for the investigation."

Brooke Sinclairs was terrified.

She couldn’t go, once she went, the responsibility would truly fall on her.

She had worked hard to oust Sabrina.

This woman... now so valuable, still seems unwilling to let go of Jordan.

Perhaps Jordan really might go back to her...

While she was pondering, the police had already taken her into custody, preparing to leave.

When Brooke Sinclairs saw Jordan Hawthorne not making any move to stop it, she was shocked.

She began to struggle, "No, I’m not going with you, even if someone has to go, it shouldn’t be me... I didn’t develop this drug, it’s not my responsibility, you should arrest Sabrina!!!

This drug was her research, she is the real culprit!!!"
