Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Uncovered
Then she suddenly grew emotional, breaking into tears as she said, “I did all of this for Hale Pharmaceuticals. That institute promised me they’d already developed a new anti-cancer drug.

“They said they were the only ones who had this technology and were willing to grant us exclusive rights to the patent.”

She took a deep breath, trying to steady her shaking voice.

“You all know Hale Pharmaceuticals hasn’t been doing well these past few years. I partnered with them because I wanted to bring the company back to its peak.

“Dad trusted me enough to make me vice president. I’ve always wanted to prove myself to him.

“Why would I sabotage the Hales? Why would I hurt my own dad?

“I lacked experience. I wasn’t capable enough. It was my negligence that brought the Hales down…”

She broke down crying.

“I really didn’t mean for any of this…”

Bianca rushed to defend her.

“That’s right. I’ve seen how hard Monica has worked all these years.

“She grew up spoiled and lived like a proper heiress. When has she ever had to suffer like this?

“But she’s kind at heart and knows what matters.

“She could’ve kept living that easy life, but she felt for her dad and chose to step into Hale Pharmaceuticals to help.”

Bianca grabbed Monica’s hand, tears streaming down her face.

“She’s been working day and night, running around for the company without a single complaint.

“Even if you don’t give her credit, you can at least acknowledge her effort.

“And she did bring in quite a few deals…”

Suddenly, her tone turned sharp. She pointed at the older shareholders and snapped, “What now? The company’s in trouble, and you all want to dump all the blame on my daughter?

“Do you people have any conscience at all?”

The older shareholders fell silent, but the evidence Raymond had presented made it clear that someone had been pulling strings behind the scenes.

One of them turned to Raymond and said, “Mr. Newton, since you’ve uncovered this much, I assume you already know who’s behind it?”

Raymond gave a faint smile and pointed at Monica. “You should ask her.”

Monica clutched her chest and shot back, “Why are you asking me? What does this have to do with me? Raymond, you’re going too far!”

Raymond gave Eden a look. Eden turned the laptop toward everyone and continued, “As I mentioned, the signatures on these contracts involving Mr. Hale are problematic.

“We consulted top handwriting analysis experts worldwide.

“They confirmed these signatures were not written by Mr. Hale but forged by someone imitating his handwriting.”

Eden paused, his tone turning heavier.

“The companies and institutions that partnered with Hale Pharmaceuticals are all shell companies.

“Mrs. Hale, the registration IP addresses for all of them trace back to Doblaria, specifically to the area where you both live.”

Monica’s face went pale. She waved her hands frantically in denial.

“It wasn’t me! It really wasn’t! How could I possibly set up that many companies?

“I-I don’t even understand most of the company’s operations. I was just pretending to know what I was doing!”

At that moment, the door opened, and the Hales’ lawyer walked in with a group of people behind him.

He stepped forward.

“Apologies for the interruption, but I have something urgent to report.”

He addressed the shareholders.

“It concerns the anti-cancer drug linked to five deaths.”

He gestured toward the group behind him.

“Let me introduce them. They’re from an international top-tier medical malpractice legal team.

“For the past few days, they’ve been investigating the Hale Pharmaceuticals case and uncovered some shocking findings.”

The lawyers stepped forward, holding a stack of documents.
