Chapter 520 He Threatened Me
The conference began when Colton arrived. Aside from him and Nicole, people from the research center were also present. Then, all of them looked at the man.
After some time, the man said in a low voice, “The vaccine isn’t the cause of my sister’s death.” Although it was raining, his words could still be heard.
When the reporters heard the man’s words, they were curious. He caused a stir at the vaccine conference, yet he’s explaining it now. Is the truth about to be revealed? they thought.
Just as everyone had their doubts, the cowardly man suddenly grabbed the microphone and shouted, “The reason I’m saying this is because the heir of the Gardner Family threatened me!
If I don’t do what he says, he’ll kill me! Even if he threatened me not to say it, I would still say it—my sister died from the vaccine. I’m not afraid of death, and I want justice for my sister!” As his words fell, the quiet scene was in an uproar.
Colton was the heir of the Gardner Family. The man’s words implied that Colton was threatening him. If word of this spread, the Gardner Corporation’s shares would fall. However, none of the reporters dared to betray the Gardners. After all, this was the Internet era. It would be bad for them to offend the Gardners as they had the authority.
The man was red in the face as he gritted his teeth and continued, “If I’m dead, it would be the Gardner Family’s doing. They will kill me to hide the truth!”
At that moment, all the reports turned their heads and looked at Colton, trying to see what his expression was.
Recently, Queenie and his wedding were the gossip of the town. The wedding would be held after three days, but such a thing had happened. They wondered what Colton had to say about this.
On the other hand, Nicole gripped her knuckles as she knew that the man wouldn’t obey Colton’s orders that easily. Just as she was about to speak up, Colton stopped her.
Then, he smiled and looked at the man, who was red in the face. “You said that I was the one who threatened you. Do you have any evidence?” he asked.
“Didn’t you threaten to kill me if I didn’t clarify this matter yesterday?” retorted the man.
“When did I ever say this?” Colton said shamelessly, for he would never admit this in front of the public.
The man was stunned when he saw that Colton was such a shameless person. After a while, he snapped back to his senses and said, “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you. There’s no way that I will surrender to you when your vaccine has killed my sister!”
As this scene was played out, Colton seemed unsurprised. Then, his eyes darkened while an intimidating aura surrounded him. As his gaze swept across the reporters, he asked coldly, “Do you guys think I am that type of person who would threaten people?”
At that moment, the reporters shook their heads. They would agree with his words, for they were just specks of dust compared to the Gardners.
Seeing their reaction, Colton chuckled and looked at the man gloomily.
“Your sister had cancer, and you made false proof of her well-being at a hospital. Then, you received two million after she was vaccinated at the research center. Yet, she still died from cancer. Don’t you think you are holding us ransom by blaming your sister’s death on our vaccine?” he said.
“You’re lying. My sister was healthy!” The man insisted on his views when Colton interrogated him.
At this moment, Colton was also tired of dealing with him. He took out his phone and pressed a few buttons. Then, all the reporters received a file.
“I’ve sent all of his sister’s medical files to everyone. She was in chemotherapy at the end of last year, but things were not looking pretty. The doctor gave notice that she could only live for another half a month. To clarify, I have invited the doctor to the scene.” As Colton’s words fell, the doctor walked up the stage.
The doctor had long since retired, but Colton searched for him and brought him here. Since he didn’t dare to offend the Gardner Family, he told the truth aloud.
