Chapter 535 Chapter 535 Lauren crossed her arms, smirking.

Michael, didnt warn you about Ruby? I told you she couldnt be trusted, but no you insisted I was just jealous of that bitch.

Now look at whats happened

If those formulas fall into the hands of other pharmaceutical companies, the Pharmaceutical Division wont just take a hit itll collapse entirely

You might as well prepare to announce its closure

Michaels face darkened further, his rage building like storm waves, each one crashing harder than the last.

He felt trapped.

Troy was his man, and the deal with Ruby was his decision.

Now, with such a colossal mistake, he could already imagine the backlash from the Rhodes familys upper ranks

The humiliation would shatter any dreams he had of becoming the family head.

Worse, he would be remembered as the one who brought disgrace and ruin to the company.

Seething with anger, Michaels eyes fell on Troy, who was still sprawled on the floor.

With a growl, he lunged at him, unleashing a brutal flurry of punches and kicks, each strike aimed at Troys face and head.

Mr.

Rhodes, stop! Stop, please! Troy screamed, his voice hoarse with desperation.

I was wrong, wrong! Please, dont hit me anymore! I was He shouted, Ms.

Rhodes, help me ! Please ! Ill take full responsibility whatever it takes.

Just make him stop! Troys blood curdling cries echoed through the entire Rhodes Corporation office floor

, drawing the attention of company veterans and department heads alike.

Initially, they had rushed over to calm Michael down, but the moment they heard Troy confess to leaking the formulas, they froze, stunned into silence.

For any pharmaceutical company, proprietary formulas were its lifeblood its most valuable asset.

These formulas were not just products; they represented years of research, billions in investment, and exclusive dominance in the market.

Hearing that three formulas had been compromised was not just alarming it was catastrophic.

If these formulas ended up in a competitors hands, they could immediately replicate the products, undercut prices, and destroy Rhodes Corporations monopoly

As Michael continued to beat up Troy, the executives exchanged uneasy glances.

Some even seemed to silently agree that Troy deserved his punishment.

However, Andrew finally had enough

Thats enough Beating him to death wont fix anything

Troy was barely conscious, his body limp, his face bloodied and swollen, yet Michaels fists kept flying. Andrew stepped forward, his tone sharp and cutting

Michael, if you keep this up, youre going to kill him.

And then what? Do you think being the CEO gives you a free pass to commit murder ? Michaels head snapped toward Andrew, his eyes wild with fury.noveldrama

He shouted, This isnt your business, Andrew ! Andrews patience wore out.

He grabbed Michael by the collar and yanked him back, glaring at him.

11 Chapter 535 Idiot.

Do you even hear yourself right now? If you kill him, this goes from corporate negligence to outright homicide

Is that the legacy you want for yourself? Michael froze, Andrews words cutting through the haze of his rage like ice water

He staggered back, suddenly realizing the gravity of the situation.

If Troy died here, it would not just ruin his career it would destroy his life, On the floor, Troy lay curled up

in a pitiful heap, barely conscious and covered in blood.

He could not even muster the strength to speak.

Andrew grimaced at the sight, muttering under his breath.

He turned to Eunice and instructed her to bring the first aid kit.

Once it arrived, he crouched beside Troy and began treating his injuries with practiced precision.

Afterward, Andrew scribbled down a prescription and handed it to him.

Take the medicine on this list for six months, and the infection in your body should gradually clear up. But, Andrew added, his tone sharp and unyielding, remember this: theres still a high chance of a relapse

If you have even an ounce of sense left, stay away from random flings.
