Female Novel
Chapter 1467
At that moment, Mr. Zagatti was shocked and flustered about what to do. Never in his dreams had he expected the Dawsonfamily to be involved in this matter, too.
After all, the Dawson family ranked second among Oakvale’s eight great families, only second to the Langfords.
The Dawsons were the leading group in the medication field. Even the head of the Food and Drug Administration was backed bythem. As a manager in the department, how would he dare cross the Dawson family?
His lips trembled as he said fearfully, ” M-Mr. Dawson, there must be some sort of misunderstanding going on!
“The Dawson family is a role model of the entire industry, having a great reputation throughout the years. There’s no way you’dbreak the law knowingly!”
“Is that so? Then what about the issue with Dew Balm? Weren't you about to arrest people just a while ago?” Bo asked frostily.“No, no, no! That was just a misunderstanding!”
Mr. Zagatti was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. “The Food and Drug Administration is only responsible formatters pertaining to food and drugs.
“We've got no right to arrest anyone. Of course, | wouldn’t overstep my authority!
“As for the issue with Dew Balm, I’m sure that my subordinates have made a mistake! I’ll go back and conduct a thoroughinvestigation!”
“Hmph! That's more like it.” Bo flicked his lighter shut and said casually, Remember, as official personnel, you should handleaffairs with justice.
“Do not heed the slander of malicious individuals in the future!”
“Yes, yes, yes! | understand!.” Mr. Zagatti nodded repeatedly, secretly heaving a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that thingshadn't gotten out of hand yet, or he’d be in deep shit.
“Hey, aren’t you here to arrest them? Why aren’t you taking action yet?”
All of a sudden, the man by the coffin called out impatiently. “Arrest? Who am | supposed to arrest?” Mr. Zagatti frowned andshot him a mean glare.
“The Dew Balm killed my father, so all relevant individuals must be arrested!” the man yelled.“Hah! So we’re supposed to arrest people just because you say so? Who do you think you are?”Mr. Zagatti continued impassively, Besides, what evidence have you got that it was the Dew Balm that killed him?”
“This is the receipt of purchase for the Dew Balm, and this is a report from the medical examiner. There are still remnants of theointment on my father’s wound.
“All these are evidence that the Dew Balm killed him!” The middle-aged man took out a stack of various reports as evidence.“Rubbish! These are all fake evidence!” Mr. Zagatti snatched the stack over and tore them into shreds.
“| don’t know where you got these from. But I’m warning you, if you dare cause a scene here again, don’t blame me when | takeaction against you lot!”novelbin
When he heard that, the middle-aged man couldn't contain his anger, he yelled, “You corrupt officials! How dare you help thisevil, money-making bastard take advantage of the people?
“You must have been bribed. I'll sue you! I'll sue all of yo-”
Smack! He had barely finished his sentence when a slap was delivered to his face.
Mr. Zagatti shouted at him, “How outrageous of you! Defaming an official is a serious crime! I’m warning you, if you continuemaking baseless accusations, you might be imprisoned for a very long time!”
“You-!” The man was livid. Unknowingly, his gaze fell on Ezra and Eleanor. Didn't they agree to put up a show together? Why didthat bastard pull out last minute? How the fuck was he supposed to keep up the act now?
“Mr. Zagatti, the corpse of the deceased is right here! And they have all the proof! Why aren’t you arresting them yet?” Ezraboomed.
Ezra had paid and hired him here to put up an act, but Mr. Zagatti was backing out and betraying them at the very last minute!
“Mr. Swanson, this is clearly a misunderstanding. | suspect someone is making a false report, so | must look into thingscarefully.” Mr. Zagatti tried to gloss things over.
Crossing the Swansons would mean just losing a financial backer. But offending the Dawsons might cost him his job or even asfar as getting him imprisoned!
It was clear as day to him which one between the two that he should not mess with!
