Supreme Mars novel Chapter 134

A day later, two news swept the whole Emerdale like windstorms, and sparked vigorous debate among people here ranging from magnates from all walks of life to ordinary citizens.

The first thing was that a multitude of Vesper Corporation's employees resigned from the company, including the company's president Peter, who was trapped in the maelstrom of heated controversy of 316 Event. Also, the whole company was purchased by someone who remained mysterious.

The second thing was that Julton Pharmaceutical announced its bankruptcy, and that it's president Thomas, who committed attempted murder and nearly throttled a female passerby to death, was certified as insane.

These two things, as dramatic as rocks thrown into water, aroused controversy impossible to settle. The indigenous television stations and newspaper offices were all making headlines on the matter, and some of them had even excavated many of the company's scandals hidden for many years, which proved the innocence of the Ford family.

Besides, the Lawson family was also implicated in the affairs, since, after all, Peter was one of the participants of 316 Event, threatening those poisoned patients and their relatives to move out of the city.

In the face of that, Kate, the president of the Lawson Group made no positive response, and only let her assistant Chris to tell those journalists that what Peter had done did not represent the standpoint of the Lawson family, and he himself had gone abroad for a trip recently.

As a result, those media had no better option but to concede and accept the saying.

In fact, somehow, the saying seemed to mean more than it seemed to be — it could be considered as an allusion to that Peter was going to be expelled from the family. Besides, no one would ever truly believe that Peter had gone abroad for a trip.

The Third Mental Hospital was the only psychiatric hospital in Emerdale, and, at the same time, the hospital with the highest mortality.

Even though the place seemed nothing special, there were numerous unstable madmen inside. Therefore, the whole place was highly secured, and even a single fly could hardly make its way in.

Inside the quiet ward, there was a slim man watching television with concentration — the news anchor was reporting the bankruptcy of Julton Pharmaceutical and the insanity of Thomas.

With the corner of his mouth lifted, the man seemed in a good mood.

"It's lunchtime, No.87." Said the guards outdoor in a nonchalant tone.

"OK." Said the man, turning off the television and walking out of the ward naturally. Dressed in a white suit with a nice-looking face, he was somehow different from his counterparts here and looked as if a rich man from somewhere else.

His manner was quiet and very controlled, and he would never skimp on his smile and gratitude in the face of those employees who offered him food.

He looked spiritually radiant, and found himself a peaceful corner to sit down, eating food gently with knife and fork in his hands.

Those psychopaths around glanced at him with rather fearful eyes and gave way to him.

At this moment, the gate of the hospital was opened, which meant that a new patient had arrived.

Looking towards the gateway, everybody would like to catch a glimpse of the face of their new peer.

The man looked up as well, and was dumbfounded for a second when he saw the face of the new one. Then, he grinned exaggeratedly.

Thomas, the newly arrived patient, turned into a panic when he saw the man.

Putting down the knife and fork, the man came up to the front of Thomas with a delightful smile, "Now, you're here to be my accompany, father."

……

What occurred to Vesper Corporation and Julton Pharmaceutical's president had also been heard by the Fords.

"Have you heard of it, mom? The president of Vesper Corporation has transferred his right!" Caroline looked at the television with incredible eyes, and sighed.

Rebecca, with an astonished look on her face, said, "Wow, such a news. I have never expected such a thing to happen when we headed back to the Ford family."

For these two days, during that Vesper Corporation was under the impact of public voice, Rebecca, Caroline and Patricia had not been working in the company. Instead, they had spent the days at the Ford family.

"I'm wondering who is the new president of the company, since it will cost a whole lot of money to purchase it." Sighed Rebecca. With a pause, she casted a glimpse at William and muttered, "Others men are working hard out there to purchase Vesper Corporation, while you are staying at home and doing nothing! It is sarcastic that although you are the one who established Vesper Corporation, you can do nothing but just stand and watch it fall into others' hands!"
