Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 174

"Yep. It's me. I know her more than you do. She's a bitch. If it weren't for her, I'd have married Drake."

Paula believed her easily. "You hate her, don't you?"

"What do you think?"

Paula obtained her answer from the hatred in Cecelia's eyes.

After a moment, she asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"I cannot do anything to her, but you can."

Paula's eyes lit up. She thought Cecelia's words made sense.

Although her father's company had suffered a slight loss earlier, she didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, Sophia's company wasn't THAT influential.

"What do you think I should do?" she asked.

"You'd better shoot her."

Paula nodded, feeling Cecelia was right.

"All right. I'll figure out a plan. After I kill Sophia, don't forget to thank me."

'Humph! Stupid bitch!'

Cecelia smiled at her, "Of course, I will."

...

The following day, Oakaid Pharmaceutical Company was shrouded in nervousness and stress, which had never happened before.

All the employees were watching the company owner, who had never shown up in the company.

It was a woman with a strong vibe. She strode into her office in high heels.

Others held their breath, afraid she would vent her anger on them.

Sophia entered the office and sat down. "How is it going now?"

Her assistant followed her into the office and answered respectfully. "The patient has passed away, but his family refused the autopsy."

"Refused? That's fishy. Our company has been running smoothly for a long time, but such a case has never happened before. Besides, our medicines have been through all levels of tests. How could it cause death?"

"Try every means to let the patient's family agree with the autopsy. Or you're so fired."

"Yes, Ms. Lawson."

The assistant immediately left the office.

Earlier, she talked to Sophia on the phone and via video conference, thinking Sophia was gentle.

However, she looked extremely horrible this time. The assistant almost stopped breathing under her fierce gaze.

Seeing her leave the office, others asked, "How did it go? What did Ms. Lawson say?"

"Let's not talk about this. We'd better get back to work."

"All right."

All the employees understood they'd better not annoy Sophia at this moment, unless they didn't want to continue working here.

Chloe phoned Sophia. "How's it going, Sophia?"

"It's a severe problem. The patient's family refused the autopsy. Without the autopsy, I cannot be sure if the patient's death has anything to do with our medicine."

"But our company's medicines are not poisons. How could the patient be killed?"

"Right. Everyone around me will say so, but what about others who don't know us? One patient passed away without releasing the cause of death. It's a huge negative impact on my company."

Chloe knew it as well. Sometimes, public clamor can confound right and wrong.

"What do you plan to do?"

"I insist on the autopsy."

Chloe was busy at work and couldn't help Sophia for the time being, so she ended the call.

On the other side, Paula looked at Cecelia triumphantly. "Seen it? Am I awesome? I set up her pharmaceutical company to ruin her reputation. Whoever is close to her will be impacted."

Cecelia looked at Paula in surprise as she didn't expect Paula to be clever.

"After you gain Drake's heart and I gain Noah's, we shall send the wedding invitation to each other."

"Of course. I look forward to that day."

Paula was complacent, thinking she would definitely win against Sophia.

...

Later that day, Sophia received the feedback that the patient's family refused the autopsy again and was agitated.

She wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so she went to find the patient's family member in person.

The woman who was sobbing at a dead body looked at Sophia and was startled.

Then she said, "You are here to convince me, aren't you? Stop it. I won't allow my mother to go through the autopsy."

Sophia sat in a chair and replied calmly, "I'm not talking about the autopsy with you. Why did you suddenly have more than one million dollars in your bank account? Well, you won't tell me the truth, but I'm sure your older brothers and their families will be interested in knowing it."

The woman panicked. "What do you want?"

Sophia gazed at her. "You have siblings. If your older brothers knew you'd received such a huge amount of money because of your mother's death, would they accept it willingly?"

"I don't follow you."

The woman averted her gaze subconsciously.

Sophia leaned against the back of the chair with a confident smile, "It doesn't matter. I'll call your brothers now and tell them about the one million dollars in your bank account."

Seeing her pull out her phone, the woman realized Sophia wasn't bragging. Hurriedly, she jumped to her feet to grab the phone.

Sophia ordered, "Stop her!"

Her bodyguards kept the woman in control.

Finally, the woman feared. "Please don't call my brothers. Please..."

Sophia was unhappy with her answer.

"I'll tell you. Please... I was bribed to kill my mother. Please let go of me. I wouldn't have done it if my husband hadn't owned so much debt for the peer-to-peer lending. I'm just an ordinary woman..."

Sophia heard of peer-to-peer lending. Although she ran many companies, she didn't run such a kind of company as it was harmful to the civilians.

Looking at the woman, she said, "I can give you a chance. Go turn yourself in at the police station. Send your mother's dead body for an autopsy. I'll let the police station keep your case confidential and announce your mother took the pesticide by mistake. What do you think?"

The woman didn't expect her to be so kind-hearted, nodding vigorously in agreement. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"All right. Go ahead."

Sophia's assistant apologized, "Sorry, Ms. Lawson. I didn't do it well."

"It's alright. As long as you've learned the lesson this time."

"Of course, Ms. Lawson."

Sophia founded a pharmaceutical company several years ago but never showed up in person.

Most of the time, her assistant helped her operate and manage the company.

Although the assistant had learned many things, she still had a long way to go. Therefore, she did acquire some new knowledge today.

After the trouble was solved, the government announced the latest news about this case to the public. It was said the old woman's death had nothing to do with Oakaid Pharmaceutical Company. She took the pesticide by mistake instead. Her children didn't find it on time, so the rescue was delayed. It wasn't Oakaid Pharmaceutical Company's responsibility.

Moreover, the patient's daughter was interviewed by the reporters.

Facing the camera, she sobbed, "I'm sorry for misleading the public opinion. My mother was recovering after taking Oakaid Pharmaceutical Company's medicine. Somehow, after she suddenly passed away, I panicked and didn't think she had taken something else, so I recklessly blamed Oakaid Pharmaceutical Company for it and caused such terrible consequences."
