chapter-130
"Do you hear that? Everyone's saying that you're the thief." Morgan smirked maliciously. Which insolent bastard is this who dared meddle in his affairs?
"Mr. Finn, it seems like you're going to cover up for him, then?" Dustin's eyes narrowed, a menacing look in his eyes.
It suddenly made sense to Dustin why Mr. Marcs dared to act so rampantly. It was because he had an equally unrighteous superior! Dustin had thought that he had seen the worst from Mr. Marcs, but it turns out that Morgan was worse! Not only did he distort the truth, he even framed others for things that they did not do. It was plain for all to see that his subordinate was in the wrong, but he blatantly put the blame on Austin. That was too much!
"So what if I cover up for him? Who do you think calls the shots here?" Mr. Finn pressed his lips together into a thin line. "I'm giving you a chance now. Get down on your knees and apologize to Mr. Marcs right now, and admit that you were wrong. If you don't, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your days behind bars!'
"Are you sure that's what you want to do?" Dustin challenged.
"Do I look like I'm joking? You should check if your opponent has someone behind him before you go throwing your weight around like that! Who do you think you are to do as you wish on my turf? Now get on your knees and apologize!' Morgan roared.
"Do you hear that? Get on your knees!" Mr. Marcs jeered, looking at Dustin like he had victory over him.
"Rhys! Why did you even intervene in the first place? This is what you get for meddling in other people's business!" Julie gloated.
"You really think too highly of yourself! Matt shot him a contemptuous and dismissive look. In the face of absolute power, it was irrelevant whether you were right or wrong. So what if you were right?
When the person in power dictated that you're wrong, you have no way of defending yourself, Such was the law of society.
"Alright, if you've made your choice, then don't regret it." Dustin didn't waste much time talking to them. He whipped cut his phone and made a call.
"Oh? Are you calling for backup? Hahaha!" Morgan snickered. "Hey, brat! I don't think you get the idea here! This is my turf, and I call the shots here! Who do you think can save you now?"
"Mr. Finn, let's not get too cocky. I think the Harmons are in charge here at Harmon Pharmaceuticals, not you.
Mr. Finn," Dustin corrected him.
"So what? I'm a founding member of Harmon Pharmaceuticals! Even Natasha Harmon has to address me respectfully, What more of a scoundrel like you?" Morgan announced arrogantly.
As he finished his sentence, a crisp and clear feminine voice rang out. "Is that so? So I should be addressing you respectfully now?"
The crowd turned to the source of the voice to see an elegant woman dressed in red entering and approaching them. It was Natasha Harmon!
"Ms. Harmon?" Morgan felt a premonition of oncoming trouble. He immediately forced a smile and went up to her. "Why have you come?"
"I'm here to join in the fun! Am I not welcome here, respected Mr. Finn?" Natasha put extra emphasis on how she addressed Mr. Finn.
"Ms. Harmon, that was just a joke. Don't take it to heart," Morgan explained awkwardly. How was he to that she would appear at such terrible timing?
"A joke? It didn't sound like one to me. You sounded so sure of yourself back there," Natasha said, unperturbed.
"Well— Morgan could not find the words to excuse himself for what he said.
"Forget it; I'll let that go. Now tell me, what's going on here?" Natasha asked calmly.
"Ms. Harmon, here's what happened." Mr. Marcs was just about to explain when he was cut off by a glare from Natasha. "Are you in a position to speak now?"
"Know your place!" Morgan turned to Mr. Marcs and scolded him. Then he turned back to Natasha and smiled apologetically. "Ms. Harmon, it's nothing much. It's just that there's someone here with unethical intentions who stole some Immortunols. I'm already handling it, and this will be settled in no time."
"Oh? Who's so audacious to steal Immortunols?" Natasha asked.
"It's that rascal!" Morgan pointed at Dustin.
"Mr. Finn, are you sure it's him?" Natasha looked like she was holding back a smile.
"Of course I'm sure!"
"And do you know who he is?" Natasha asked, amused.
"No matter who he is, he's committed a grave offense by stealing the Immortunols! We need to ensure that justice is served!" Morgan declared in feigned righteousness.
"Alright then. I'll have you know!" Natasha's expression darkened over. "This man whom you've accused of theft is the chief physician of Harmon Pharmaceuticals and the developer of Immortunol, Dustin Rhys!" An uproar broke out when the crowd heard that.
"What? Mr. Rhys?" Morgan had shock written all over his face.
He had indeed received news that the developer of Immortunol, Mr. Rhys, would be present today, but he hadn't expected him to be so young!
"N–no way! H–he's He's Mr. Rhys?!" Mr. Marcs's eyes widened in disbelief. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that the person he had been bragging about being a tight buddy with was right there in front of him. This was bad. This was really bad. They were in deep trouble now.
"Mr. Rhys? Dustin Rhys?" Julie looked around in bewilderment. "They must be mistaken! The brilliant Mr. Rhys who developed Immortunol was Dustin. How is that possible?" She mused.
"What ability does this rascal possess to be able to come up with the prescription formula for Immortunol?" Matt felt astonished, which was soon taken over by jealousy. Immortunol was a precious drug that was able to bring in endless fortune! But how did such a treasure end up in the hands of such a worthless person? It was truly a waste!
"Mr. Finn, I'll ask you one more time," Natasha said. "Do you think that Mr. Rhys is the person who stole these Immortunols?"
"This Well—This might be a misunderstanding." The corners of Morgan's eyes twitched and he forced a smile.
"A misunderstanding? So what you're saying is that Mr. Rhys isn't the thief?" Natasha scoffed.
"Of course! Why would Mr. Rhys steal his own products?" Morgan nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, then tell me, who was the one who stole this box of substandard Immortunol?" Natasha asked authoritatively.
"I understand now!" Morgan pretended to finally understand what was going on. "It must have been Mr. Marcs who stole the company's products when he was supposed to be guarding them! He misused his authority and accused Mr. Rhys before we even looked into the issue! We cannot tolerate such a vile person in the company! I'll fire him right away!"
"Mr. Finn, I-"
"Shut up!" Just as Mr. Marcs was about to speak, Morgan gave him a hard slap and reprimanded him loudly. You piece of trash! Admit your mistakes or I'll not go easy on you!"
"Yes, yes. I was wrong. Please forgive me, Mr. Finn. I'll never repeat my mistakes again." Mr. Marcs covered his face with his hands, shaking as he admitted his wrongdoing.
"Why are you apologizing to me? It's Ms. Harmon you should be apologizing to!" Morgan roared.
"Ms. Harmon, I'm so sorry! Please let me off this time. I know that I was wrong!" Mr. Marcs fell to his knees, asking for forgiveness.
Natasha ignored him completely, her gaze fixed on Morgan. "What a smart move, Mr. Finn. You're pushing someone else under the bus to save your own sorry ass. But do you really think that you'll get away scot–free?"
"Ms. Harmon, what do you mean? I'm afraid I do not follow." Morgan's brows were tightly knit.
"Don't assume that I do not know what you've done. I just never bothered to take action. But you've messed with the wrong person now! I'm giving you one last chance. Give Mr. Rhys a sincere apology for your behavior today, or be prepared to bear the consequences!" Natasha ordered with an icy expression.
"Ms. Harmon, you must be kidding me!" Morgan's expression darkened. "I'm a founding member and the vice president of the company! How could you make me apologize to a mere boy toy like him? How will I put my subordinates in line if I do that?"
"You're not apologizing, are you? Guards beat him up!" Natasha wasted no time with him. With a snap of her fingers, two bodyguards came up to them and gave Morgan several hard smacks on his face. He was totally befuddled.
