Johnny pulled out his phone confusedly, and his expression changed as he saw the caller ID. He quickly
answered the call.
After a long pause, he hung up and his face turned pale.
"What's wrong with you?" Melina immediately noticed his unusual demeanor.
He looked dazed. "Cinnamine Pharmaceuticals just fired me... They said | accepted kickbacks and that the
Criminal Investigative Division would be investigating. If the amount exceeds 100 thousand dollars, | could be
prosecuted and sent to prison..."
He was genuinely panicking now as he quickly grabbed Melina's arm. "You have to save me! | don't want to go to
jail
His friends behind him were stunned, having never expected this outcome.

Then, Johnny seemed to realize something. He glared at Yolanda and shouted, "Did you do this? What did you
do?"
Melina also sensed the seriousness of the situation and frowned at Yolanda.
Johnny's firing was indeed surprising. However, for Melina, it wasn't a major issue; even if the Criminal
Investigative Division got involved, she had ways to maneuver around it.
She believed that Yolanda must've known someone on the board of Cinnamine Pharmaceuticals to orchestrate
Johnny's dismissal so easily. Moreover, while Yolanda could deal with Johnny, she felt untouchable.
After all, the relationship between the Quinlan family and the Lovell family was not merely cordial; Cianna was
her distant cousin. Although they had drifted apart in recent generations, their ties remained stronger than
Yolanda's outsider status.
"Yolanda, I'll give you scredit this time!" Melina sneered. "But you can only deal with Johnny; you can't affect
Before she could finish, her phone rang.
After she answered the call, her expression turned blank. She received multiple calls, including calls from her
elders.
After the last call, she looked at Yolanda with confusion in her eyes.
Cinnamine Pharmaceuticals really had terminated their partnership with them. Moreover, Union Bank had
delayed the loan approvals to Quinlan Pharmaceuticals.
There were even reports claiming that Quinlan Pharmaceuticals’ medical devices didn't meet national standards.
These revelations seemed to hit Melina like a series of explosive bombs. It left her defenseless.
"Quinlan Pharmaceuticals is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment. Now do you understand the weight
of my words?"
Yolanda calmly took a sip of her juice while watching Melina with an air of indifference.

The people brought by Melina, along with Johnny and his friends, stood frozen in place as if they had turned to
stone. Their mouths were agape, and their eyes were wide with shock as they stared at Yolanda, as if they were
witnessing a terrifying force of nature.
"Darling, how dare she be so arrogant? Go get someone to deal with her..."
Slap!
Before Johnny could finish his sentence, Melina struck him across the face.
"How dare you speak to Ms. Henderson like that?" Her attitude shifted completely.
"Who do you think you are to challenge Ms. Henderson?"
In a fit of rage, she even kicked Johnny in the knee with her high heel.
She was regretting her decisions. If it weren't for wanting to back Johnny, she wouldn't have offended Sharon's
friend.
Now, her family members were putting pressure on her, and they issued an ultimatum—if she didn't resolve this
crisis within a week, her position as the heir would be at risk of being taken by her siblings.
