Chapter 726 The Tables Have Turned 5

Natalie stood under the spotlight with a microphone in her hand. Her words were so profound that they found their way into the crowd’s hearts.

“Before we hold Dream Pharmaceutical accountable, shouldn’t we first hold the hospital liable?” Natalie clicked on the presentation clicker and the screen flashed, showing another slide. “In the past few days, Dream has been shouldering the massive pressure of public outcry, but we have never considered stopping our production and sales.

She continued, “As the cost of this special medicine is many times cheaper than numerous other imported medicines, stopping the circulation will only burden patients and their families. For that reason, Dream had worked hard and cooperated with the authorities, but we didn’t expect that our competitors would use such underhanded methods to oppress Dream. From what I heard from the authorities, they still couldn’t determine if there was indeed an issue with Dream’s special medicine, but I supposed everyone has heard the recordings played earlier. I believe all of you are able to make your own judgment.”

Natalie met Yara’s gaze once she finished her speech.

After catching the delight in Natalie’s gaze, Yara clenched her teeth.

She did it on purpose. She chose to spring this on us when we were in the limelight as she knew the impact would be devastating for us.

“You—”

“Since we’re blood-related, I’ll give you some advice.” A gleam flashed across Natalie’s eyes as she said, “Give a thief enough rope, and he’ll hang himself.”

“You…”

After that, Natalie returned her gaze to the reporters and cameras and bowed deeply.

Without any hesitance, she confidently strutted out of the venue.

The media saw the opportunity and immediately carried their equipment, eager to chase after her.

However, a noble and elegant figure slowly got up from his seat at that moment. When Natalie was in his vicinity, he reached out to grab her hand and wrapped his other arm over her shoulder, forming a protective barrier around her from the outside world.

Natalie’s mind had been actively planning her next strategy the whole time, so she didn’t notice that he had come to the venue. Disbelief filled her eyes when she looked up and saw his face. The belated realization that he was there the whole time and his current stance were another shock to her system.

“S-Samuel, why are you—”

“Let’s talk when we get back.”

Samuel was exuding his usual cold vibe in front of the public.

His deep-set features, dark eyes, and black trench coat gave him an unapproachable aura, serving as a deterrent to the vulture-like reporters.

Those reporters had the guts to mess with Natalie but not Samuel, so their chase came to a stop when they saw him taking her under his wing. Anyone with working eyes could see that they would be gone from the news industry the next day had they continued to follow and pester Natalie for an interview.

Seeing Samuel leaving with Natalie in tow, the reporters turned their attention to Saunder, Thomas, and Yara.

“Mr. Todd, is the recording legitimate?”

“Mr. Nichols, please elaborate further on your words earlier about how making medicine is akin to how one conducts oneself. Your private life is a mess. Does that reflect on the quality of the medicine Dexmed Pharmaceutical makes?”

“Natalie is your daughter, but she doesn’t seem to acknowledge you as her father and has even become your strongest competitor. Is your ex-wife the cause of your horrible relationship? There was a rumor circulating that your current wife, Yvonne, was once your mistress. Please share your opinion on this matter.”

A barrage of questions hit them like a tonne of brick.

Saunder had thought the press conference was held in his favor. However, judging from the current situation, he could not help but feel that Thomas and Yara had dragged him down with them. Filled with rage, he threw a bottle of water onto the ground and stomped away from the venue, leaving Thomas and Yara to clean up the mess.

At that moment, Yara felt her head hurt so much that it could explode at any moment.

Natalie was so close to falling into the abyss, yet, she still managed to pluck herself out of the murky waters. She even elevated Dream’s reputation. Failed! I have failed terribly!

The reporters persistently pushed their microphones into her face with snarky questions.

The clamoring crowd is making me claustrophobic. I might die if this goes on. At that thought, she shut her eyes and slumped to the floor.
