Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 669

"I have no choice. Why are you two acting so high and mighty? Before things went wrong, you were all making money hand over fist. Now you're pointing fingers. Every factory in Westridge operates this way. If the authorities hadn't started investigating, would anyone want to stop?" The supervisor's voice was sharp with frustration.

The senior pharmacist replied coolly, "We can stop now. The final batch has already been sold. We won't lose much on the remaining stock. Even if they investigate, they won't find anything."

The supervisor's voice quivered. "That's nonsense. If only it were that simple. That woman from the Reynolds family is relentless. Have you forgotten how many investigators she's sent here? But soon, she'll be out of our way."

"Enough about that. The factory cannot close! I absolutely refuse to agree!"

Hearing footsteps approaching, Charlie bolted. When he reached the director's office, he found it empty.

Back at his workstation, something felt wrong. Glancing outside, he spotted executives rushing to their cars with laptops and files clutched to their chests.

He crept back to the director's office and discovered all electronics and paperwork were gone. Where the metal container had been, a single piece of paper lay on the floor with "n-butanol" written on it.

N-butanol!

"What about the drug those pharmacists mentioned?" Zachary asked. "The one they shouldn't have been producing?"

Charlie paused thoughtfully. "Not long before the explosion, a new medication hit the market. Most patients had severe side effects, and some died. The strange part was how the families didn't ask questions—they seemed desperate to bury their dead quickly. The FDA finally took notice and launched investigations into all pharmaceutical manufacturers. Several factories shut down the very day inspectors arrived. But after the explosion, it's like everyone forgot about it. The whole issue just... disappeared."

"And the woman from the Reynolds family?" Zachary asked, his fingers trembling slightly.
