Female Novel
Chapter 221
He looked at Howard and said, “Howard, promptly investigate the matter. If Thea was behind this allnovelbin
along, she won’t be let off the hook that easily.”
“Yes.”
Howard nodded.
Meanwhile, Tommy wore a scheming look on his face. He flashed Wendy a victorious smile.
Lex stood up and headed upstairs to rest.
In the hallway on the first floor, Howard looked at Tommy. “Did you have anything to do with this?”
Discomposed, he hurriedly explained, “What are you talking about, father? How’s that possible?”
Howard said coldly, “This is no small matter. If anything happens, it’ll bring about the destruction of the
Callahans. Thea is no fool. She couldn’t have done such a thing.”
Tommy indeed panicked when he saw the deceased’s family making a commotion.
That was because his plan should have been flawless. He only wanted to create trouble for Thea.
Although something was wrong with the medicine, it was not supposed to be fatal.
“Father, Thea’s bossing us around. If this continues, she’ll be the master of the family.”
Tommy let the cat out of the bag.
“That’s right. It was me. I bribed Yosef Zaborowski, who was in charge of handling the medicine, and
ordered him to substitute them for substandard ones. I only wanted to show Thea who’s boss. I didn’t
expect things to almost go out of hand.”
Smash!
Howard slammed the table.
Tommy hurriedly explained, “Father, I did this for your sake. Although we now have twenty percent of
the shares, Thea had used all the profits to expand the business. Since we didn’t get anything out of it,
what use is there for the twenty percent shares? Only by getting rid of her can we get more money and
ensure the power of the family will be in our hands.”
Megan chimed in, “Father, you’re the eldest son of the Callahans. You should be the one calling the
shots, not Thea. Look at what happened today. They paid the compensation without even asking for
grandpa’s permission. Does she have grandpa’s and your interest in mind?”
Upon hearing this, Howard nodded.
“Since it has come to this, we can only shift the blame on her. I’ll find Yosef and make the necessary
arrangements.”
Howard swiftly stood up and headed to Eternality Group.
A sixty-year-old man entered the vice-chairman’s office in Eternality Group.
“Howard, I heard you were looking for me.”
Howard looked at the man before him and asked, “Yosef, you’ve been working at Eternality for twenty
years now, haven’t you?”
Yosef nodded and sighed. “Yes. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I remember
Eternality was still a tiny workshop when I first joined. Now, it’s become a huge corporation.”
Howard put a card on the desk and pushed it toward Yosef.
“Howard, w-what’s this?”
Howard said, “Yosef, you’re nearing retirement. There are a million dollars on this card. It should be
enough for you for the rest of your life. Tomorrow, I’d like you to accuse Thea as the mastermind behind
the substandard medicine.”
“I…”
Yosef was at a loss.
“Relax. No one knows you conspired with Tommy. Besides, I won’t be pursuing the hundred thousand
dollars matter further. Once things are done, take the card and retire with dignity. Otherwise, you’ll be
exposed for conspiring with Tommy. You wouldn’t want to enter a legal battle just before retirement,
would you? Do as I say. Shift the blame onto Thea and insist she held you hostage by threatening to
fire you if you speak up.”
Yosef looked at the card on the desk. Greed flashed across his face.
He had devoted himself to Eternality for twenty years with a meager salary. It would not be bad to make
a quick buck before he retired.
“I’m in.”
“Good.”
Howard wore a satisfied expression.
