Chapter 2287

Thump!

As if all bones were taken out of him, Ernest immediately slumped onto the ground.

He did not think that they were joking, for the expressions on Sole Wolf and the others' faces seemed serious.

It was then he realized he had gotten into deep trouble.

I'm screwed. I'm doomed. There's no way out of this.

Therefore, Ernest began pleading, “I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything! Please have mercy on me. Please let me go... It's true that I have had three incidents of medical malpractice in the past. One of them was truly a mistake, and the other two were because... I took bribes.”

As Zeke tried his best to tamp down the rising anger, he uttered, “Save that for the court. What I want to hear from you right now is about Horzdo-hidrosis.”

Ernest then confessed, “Honestly, this is just a fictional disease I came up with. There is no such thing in the world. To be frank with you... I can't figure out what kind of problem the patient is suffering from.”

D*mn it!

As rage quickened her blood, Lacey fumed, “How dare you treat your patient's life lightly? You're an animal!”

Ernest continued, “I did this... because I want to scam some money from you. I really need money right now...”

Sole Wolf gritted out, “Are you still not going to speak honestly? Are you not going to tell us the truth yet? Did you really do this just for money?”

Ernest hastily replied, “Money is just one of the factors. There's another reason behind this. Someone has offered me a large sum of money to do this.”

“Who is it?” Zeke questioned.

Ernest replied, “It's... Ms. Daisy, the CEO of Eminent Group! Ms. Daisy said that the best result she wants is pressuring you into selling off the office building. That way, she'll reward me with fifty million. Of course, the fifty million that you'll give me will remain mine as well.”

Irked, Lacey clenched her teeth and hissed, “I knew Daisy wasn't anyone good. She could have used normal ways to acquire the office building if she wanted it. Why did she have to use dirty tricks like these?”

At that, Zeke took a deep breath and said, “Lacey, Daisy is a much more complicated person than you think she is. I strongly suspect that she's the mastermind behind these all.”

Lacey then curiously asked, “What do you mean by the mastermind behind all of these?”

Zeke explained, “The mastermind behind the unfair competition against Linton Group and forcing Linton Group to be on the brink of bankruptcy.”

Lacey gasped. “Isn't Intercontinental Group the one who's targeting us? What does Eminent Group have anything to do with this?”

“Think about it, Lacey. Why did our enemy force us to this point?”

Lacey sighed. “Isn't it just an act of revenge in the corporate world? We stole Intercontinental Group's chance to work with Mitxel Group.”

Zeke shook his head. “Of course not. Even if this is an act of revenge in the corporate world, this isn't the way to go about it because they'll suffer quite a bit in executing this. I strongly suspect that someone's trying to acquire Linton Group, so they're trying to stir up chaos in the shadows. Once Linton Group is on the verge of collapsing, they'll then come forth and acquire Linton Group.”

Lacey inhaled sharply. “That's very likely. But I have to ask. Why can't it be Intercontinental Group trying to acquire Linton Group? Isn't that why they targeted Linton Group?”

Zeke replied, “Intercontinental Group isn't any more powerful than Linton Group right now. They'll need purchasing power to be able to acquire Linton Group in the first place. I'd say that someone must be using Intercontinental Group. There's someone else behind them. As a matter of fact, this person might be Daisy or someone else behind Daisy. Now that Linton Group is facing insolvency issue, it's time to start acquiring the company, and it's also time for the mastermind behind this incident to show themself. Coincidentally, Daisy appeared and seems to have a strong desire to acquire the company.”

Lacey nodded. “Zeke, the chances of you being right are high. Who in the world is Daisy? I heard that her Eminent Group has just been established.”

Zeke then told her, “I've already sent people to look into her. Once they find out anything about her, they'll relay the information to us.”
