THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 710

*Clueless little cops!* he thought. *Now you know who you're dealing with!*

Joel Barrett nodded. "Then we didn't get the wrong man. You're the one we're here to arrest. Your Smith's pills have currently resulted in 210 deaths in Valerium and 1 in Eldermere, with 2,000 people hospitalized in critical condition! Tens of thousands more are lining up at hospitals for stomach pumping! You have caused severe social harm. Now, please come with us immediately to cooperate with the investigation!"

*What?*

Smith's eyes filled with disbelief.

Smith's pills had caused problems? Hundreds of deaths, thousands hospitalized, and tens of thousands needing their stomachs pumped?

How could this be?

Could it be… that Caitlin wasn't lying? That she wasn't just fear-mongering? The formula really had a flaw?

But they had run tests! The lab mice used in the experiments were all fine. It had to be something else. It had to be!

"Professor Smith! Professor Smith, we have a problem!" Just then, Ennio ran out from the lab, carrying a mouse cage. "The mice in cage number 13 all died overnight!"

The mice in cage number 13 were the ones used in the original experiment. Although mice and human genetics are similar, there are still fundamental differences.

As soon as Ennio came out, he saw Smith in handcuffs and their lab surrounded by police. Even without seeing the news, he sensed that something was terribly wrong.

Could it be… that Smith's pills had a problem?

If they did, he would be implicated as well. The entire lab would be dragged down with Smith.

"Take them all into custody!" Merlin Jelf ordered his subordinates.

A group of officers immediately entered the lab.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

Soon, everyone in the lab was apprehended and led to police vehicles. The lab was sealed with official tape.

Sitting in the back of the police car, Ennio's face was a mask of despair. He couldn't believe that Griffin had been right all along. Just a few days ago, he had been calling Griffin an idiot.

Now, he was the idiot. The biggest idiot of all.

Beads of sweat formed on Clark Blake's forehead. Without a second thought, he grabbed his car keys from the coffee table, not even bothering to change out of his slippers, and rushed out the door.

The Gonzales family! He had to get to the Gonzales family immediately. He had to beg Stuart to give him another chance. They had gone through thick and thin together; surely Stuart would give him one more opportunity.

Mrs. Blake saw him rushing out and called after him curiously, "Clark, what's happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Wait! Your shoes! You forgot to change your shoes!"

But Clark Blake acted as if he hadn't heard a word.

Mrs. Blake frowned, puzzled. "What on earth is going on?"

Clark Blake drove all the way to the gates of Gonzales Manor. After parking his car, he realized that a crowd of other former shareholders, just like him, had already gathered at the entrance.

Seeing his car, the group immediately approached. One of them, Tony Dunn, who was on good terms with Clark, came over. "Mr. Blake! You saw the news too, didn't you?"

Clark Blake nodded. "What are you all doing standing out here? Why don't you go in?"

At this, Tony Dunn's expression turned grim. He sighed. "The Gonzales family of today isn't a place we can just walk into anymore."
