Chapter 517 I’ll Fix This
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Nicole went inside the hotel from the back door. Then, she met up with the people from the research center to find out what had happened. It was only then that she found out someone had anonymously posted the news online, saying that the vaccine was not yet done and had killed someone during clinical trials, causing someone to make a stir at the scene.
When Nicole clicked open the post, she saw the man from yesterday holding up a banner while screeching. If someone who was clueless about what happened saw this post, they would definitely believe what had happened.
After looking at it, Nicole lowered her gaze and said, “There are many people outside the door right now. If we don’t give them an explanation, they will not trust us.”
Right now, they were like trapped beasts as they didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, Pierre, who was on the other side, was looking at the post that had gone viral online. When he saw it, he couldn’t help but smile, thinking that Nicole couldn’t have expected him to provoke outrage rather than doing something to the vaccine.
He always knew that humanity was easily provoked, especially when there were benefits to it.
The man’s sister had cancer to begin with, and she couldn’t live for long. Likewise, he helped the man fake false proof of her well-being and cleared all her medical records in the hospital. Now that the body had been cremated and there was no evidence, this matter would not be settled if the man insisted that his sister had died from the vaccine.
Moreover, he had heard from Queenie that Hayden was an idiot now, so that Nicole would be distraught at the moment. Now that this had happened, he wondered how she would handle it.
Since this matter was getting out of hand, the police had to intervene. They drove away the citizens and took them to another place to stay. Only then did this matter quieten down. However, the news of the vaccine that killed someone had spread out. Although it was not for the country itself, it still caused a massive stir in public.
Meanwhile, the medical team was in chaos as they were accused of treating humans like animals.
All of them knew that this batch of vaccines was very important, and no mistakes could be made. Little did they expect such a thing to happen at this moment.
“What should we do now? I don’t care if my reputation is ruined, but if this batch of vaccines cannot be sent out, I’m afraid we won’t be able to suppress the virus in Espad anymore.”
“That’s right.”
While they were discussing, Nicole lowered her head. To be fair, she didn’t know what to do either.
The team discussed it until nighttime, but their discussion was not fruitful. At nighttime, Nicole returned to the Gardner Residence. When she stepped inside, she saw that Colton and Hayden were bickering about something. “Is it getting out of control?” Colton asked when he saw that Nicole had returned with a sour expression on her face.
Nicole nodded tiredly as she rubbed her temples. “Yes,” she replied.
When Colton heard that, he patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, “Don’t worry. I have sent my men to search for the person who caused all of this. Things will end soon.”
With that being said, Nicole was shocked as she didn’t expect him to be so quick to handle this matter.
“Don’t be so surprised. It was Hayden who found out where the man lived. I just sent someone to get him. After all, I invested in the research center. I can’t let someone bring it down just like that,” said Colton with a smile when he saw her shocked expression.
For some reason, Nicole felt better after listening to his words. She nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Seeing the tiredness in her, Colton knew better than to disturb her any longer. Thus, he bid goodbye to Hayden and left the room.
Then, Hayden walked toward her and reached out his hands, rubbing her temples. “Don’t you worry, Mommy. Daddy said that he would take care of this matter. You have to smile more—you don’t look pretty in this state, you know,” he cooed.
