Chapter 143
Hearing that, Daniel’s face was filled with excitement!
He recollected all the humiliation inflicted by Chase and Bella on him.
Viciousness was sparkling in his eyes.
“In a few days, he would see Bella, that little b*tch, to kneel at his feet and be in deep remorse of what she had done!
And if he didn’t shred Chase into pieces, he would never forgive himself!
These 50 million yuan were half of the Zhao family’s assets.
Lincon was willing to take such a huge risk to wipe the entire Song family and the Helping Hands Medical Center off the map.
For the next two days, Ethan felt like he was living in Wonderland
The Heption Herb that he had marketed took Golden City by storm overnight.
Everyone was talking about the Heption Herb.
Gradually, more and more people began to try the Heption Herb for the medicinal effect they claimed.
As a result, the price soared continuously.
From 1, 000 yuan per kilogram, the market price, it quickly rose to 3, 000 yuan per kilogram.
It had tripled from its original price.
The whole Song family was ecstatic!
As they sat around the table, their eyes were gleaming with joy, as if they had hit the lottery.
Ethan was crowned as the hero of this major success. He was surrounded by the crowd as if he was under the spotlight.
On the other hand, Bella had been completely outshined by Ethan. She sat in the corner with Chase, ignored by the Songs.
“Ethan, you’ve done such a great job! As expected, you’re the pillar of the Song family!” Rosaline praised him continuously.
Ethan was on cloud nine.
The result of the advertisement had exceeded his expectations.
Not only did he bring honor to his family by making them more well-known, but he also made a fortune for himself!
Seeing that everyone was in the seventh heaven, Bella sighed.
It might be the calm before the storm.
What could be the consequences of the Song family’s excessive marketing?
After the celebration, Rosaline voiced,”Ethan, sell off all the Heption Herb by tomorrow. Then the profits will start reeling in!”
Everyone was thunderstruck.
Especially Ethan, who was indulging himself in this merry moment. When he heard this, he immediately retorted, “Grandma, why are you in such a hurry? Look, it’s only been two days, and the Heption Herb has already spiked to such a price. We should be patient. Let’s wait for a few more days.”
However, Rosaline replied seriously, “We’d better take the safer route. After all, this matter is never well planned and prepared, to begin with. I still feel a bit uneasy. And more importantly, have all of you notice that many pharmaceutical companies have already begun to buy this herb in bulk? If we don’t sell it now then it will be less rewarding when the competition starts.”
Rosaline’s explanation was reasonable and sensible. After hearing what she said.
everyone nodded Ethan was like a bear with a sore head!”
What the F*ck!” Ethan cursed inwardly “I’ve worked so hard to put us in such a favorable spot. I haven’t even begun to reap the benefit, and now I have to toss it away already!”
He glanced through the Songs. “Each and everyone here is so short-sighted without the courage to take a well-calculated risk!”
He hissed silently, “None of you should be mentioned alongside my name!”
Deep down, he was agitated. However, as Rosaline was the one with the most authority here, he could only nod his head in agreement. “I’ll do as you say, Grandma.”
Anyway, Ethan had already made quite as of money.
He was confident that he could push the Heption Herb to greater heights since he had already found the way.
Most importantly, he was not short of money.
When the Song family were counting the profit jubilantly, the storm had finally revealed itself the day after.
It had been raining cats and dogs in Golden City throughout the night.
And what came with this heavy rain was a piece of news that struck them like a bolt of thunder!
“This afternoon, more than a dozen criticall ill patients were admitted into Golden City Hospital. It is said that they had consumed the Heption Herb which advertised widely recently. The preliminary diagnosis is arsenic poisoning. All the patients are now in ICU with their lives on the line.”
This news instantly ended the cheery atmosphere in the Song family who was petrified by such news.
The Heption Herb? Arsenic poisoning?
The Heption Herb was poisonous!
A heavy silence hung in the room of the Song family!
It was raining heavily outside, gloomy and cold.
So was the current situation of the Song family!
The Song family was in a panic. Rosaline held an emergency meeting and reprimanded at the meeting, “How could the Heption Herb be poisonous? Why? Whyd didn’t all of you do some research first?”Rosaline had lost her marbles. Gone was all her joy.
Ethan’s face was as pale as a ghost. “D*mn!
How would I know! This herb has been used as a medicinal ingredient all this while and has always been fine. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been grown in a plantation for so many years.”
Ethan was perhaps the most depressing one among all the Songs.
He was the one who bought the herb.
He was in charge of marketing the herb.
In his warehouse, there was still 5, 000 kilograms left!
He thought it would be a meteoric success for him. Why would it turn out this way?
Bella frowned and whispered, “The lurking danger has finally shown itself.”
The Song family was already in a mess, but when they suddenly heard Bella’s voice, it was as if they found their punching-bag in an instant.
Ethan bellowed furiously, “F*ck! How dare you rub salt on the wound at this moment!
You are the one who caused this fiasco! If you hadn’t bought the Heption Herb initially.
our family would not have followed in you footsteps! How dare you ruin us! You plotted this, you cold-hearted witch! It is unbelievable that you did this!”
The others also turned to look at Bella, beginning to chastise her, their words as sharp as knives.
“Yes, Bella is the root of this mess! If she hadn’t bought the Heption Herb, we would not be in this mess!”
“This little b*tch has always been a troublemaker since she was a child! She was cursed with a loser like Chase, and now she has brought this chaos upon us. Is she a
demon in our family?” Another member of the Song family roared.
“Bella will not be left unaccountable for i matter!” A voice exclaimed.
“Enough!” a cold voice rang out of nowhere.
It was Chase, who was in a corner.
As he held Bella’s hand, Chase could feel that her palm was ice cold, and her fingers were shivering.
This group of a*sholes!
Instead of coming up with a solution, they were going to play the blame game?
What a lovely family!
Unsurprisingly, Chase’s words further agitated the Songs.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you bark around just because you’re from the Helping Hands Medical Center! in our eyes, you are no better than a dog!”
A man rebuked and added, “These two are trash! Our family is in jeopardy because of them!”
Everyone pointed their fingers at Chase and Bella, but they didn’t notice Rosaline’s expression. She looked like she was about to erupt in anger.
“That’s enough!” Rosaline slammed the table.
She glared at Bella and Chase and voiced, “You have to bear a certain amount of responsibilities. After all, it was your idea.
Ethan’s bad decision was influenced by you. He has been working so hard to sell the Heption Herb these past two days. So I decided…”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Rosaline rose from her seat. “I order you two to undersell all the remaining herbs before this news spreads everywhere!
