Chapter 8

I glared at Zachary through gritted teeth.

I never imagined this man would take the project and rush to launch it, all just to force me to show up.

"Zachary, have you lost your mind? That new drug hasn't undergone clinical trials yet. And many of the ingredients and dosages are still uncertain. Rushing it to market like this could kill people!"

"Enough!" Zachary's face was full of impatient reproach. "Don't think you're the only top student from medical school. I already had Autumn look at that drug!"

"Autumn also had people test it. That drug has absolutely no problems. It just needs clinical trials. And we've already had people conduct clinical testing without any issues!"

"I really didn't expect you to be so selfish. When my company was on the brink of collapse, I never saw you bring out this drug!"

"You just watched me struggling there. All these years you've said you love me, but you've never once considered my needs!"

"Now you go to the hospital right away and take good care of our son. That's the only use you have left. If you can't even take care of him properly, get the hell out of here!"

I struggled to move forward, but the two bodyguards behind me gripped my arms tightly.

I used so much force that I even heard the sound of bones grinding together.

"Zachary, that drug can't go to market. It can't undergo clinical testing. That drug has problems. It will kill people!"

"Autumn's credentials are fake. She made it all up while she was abroad!"

"Shut up!"

When Zachary heard me talk about Autumn this way, he became furious. Without a word, he stepped forward and slapped me across the face.

"You have no right to slander Autumn. When I was at my most difficult, Autumn knew to introduce me to domestic pharmaceutical experts. But what about you?"

"You clearly had such a good project in your hands, yet you weren't willing to think of me at all. Now you even dare to slander Autumn. Who gave you the nerve?"

After taking that slap, I couldn't help but laugh.

Back when the company had problems, I had no choice but to seek out my professor, who was seriously ill, hoping the professor could help Harrison Group get through the crisis.

At that time, my professor was gravely ill and couldn't appear in person. That credit was brazenly stolen by Autumn.

After my professor passed away, the matter was completely swept under the rug. Even though I'd explained many times, he never believed me.

As for Autumn's fake credentials, a simple investigation would reveal the truth.

When Autumn first entered the company, I was a bit worried and asked a former classmate to help investigate, which was how I discovered the truth.

I had reminded Zachary about it many times, but he refused to believe me. He attributed all my actions to jealousy and insisted on bringing Autumn into the company's core despite everyone's opposition.

For all these days, I'd been keeping a close eye on Autumn, afraid she would bring trouble to the company.

But this slap had finally woken me up completely.

"You're right. You're not worthy of my love at all. Since you're so eager to die, suit yourself!"

With that, I completely stopped resisting. The bodyguards on either side, seeing I was no longer struggling, slowly released their grip.

At this moment, Zachary felt somewhat panicked. He had a feeling something was about to leave him completely, but his control over me made him dismiss the thought.
