Chapter 669
"I have no choice. Why are you two acting so high and mighty? Before things went wrong, you were all making
money hand over fist. Now you're pointing fingers. Every factory in Westridge operates this way. If the
authorities hadn't started investigating, would anyone want to stop?" The supervisor's voice was sharp with
frustration.
The senior pharmacist replied coolly, "We can stop now. The final batch has already been sold. We won't lose
much on the remaining stock. Even if they investigate, they won't find anything."
The supervisor's voice quivered. "That's nonsense. If only it were that simple. That woman from the Reynolds
family is relentless. Have you forgotten how many investigators she's sent here? But soon, she'll be out of our

Back at his workstation, something felt wrong. Glancing outside, he spotted executives rushing to their cars with
laptops and files clutched to their chests.
He crept back to the director's office and discovered all electronics and paperwork were gone. Where the metal

Panic surged through him. He turned and sprinted toward the exit. Just as he cleared the gates, a massive
explosion ripped through the air, the sound tearing through his eardrums.
Charlie shuddered at the memory, the terror as fresh as it was a decade ago. "The blast was deafening. Flames
shot skyward and a black mushroom cloud billowed up. Even from the valley clearing, | could feel the ground
shaking violently beneath my feet. | thought the entire mountain would cdown. I ran like hell. Turns out I
was right—the mountain did collapse, just not completely." His voice trembled as he described the events of that
fateful day.
"Worldwide, n-butanol leaks have
caused countless explosions. Even

today, imagine how much worse it
was ten years ago. People found it
easier to call it an accident than to

Charlie paused thoughtfully. "Not

"And the woman from the Reynolds family?" Zachary asked, his fingers trembling slightly.
