Chapter 1621: Chapter 1621: Trouble Arises

Chapter 1621

Today, the fiery sun was half-devoured by the mountain, the sky awash with rosy light as the earth donned a colorful garment of gossamer.

Chloe Collins was just like every other day, sitting at the East Wing Gate reading a book to pass the time.

Before long, she had turned to the last page of her book. Looking across the road, no cars were coming.

"Chlo-Chlo," Evelyn Thompson came out.

"Your dad called earlier; he said they won’t be back for dinner tonight, so let’s eat first."

Chloe let out an "Oh," sensing that something wasn’t quite right.

"Did something happen?"

Evelyn entwined her hand with Chloe’s and led her slowly inside, laughing, "What major event could it be? The company is recovering so well, there’s a lot to deal with, and they are busy managing everything. There’s nothing to worry about."

As she spoke, she continued, "The thing is, Cain, that kid, he always hesitates over the phone when he calls, and these past two days there’s been no word from him. I’ll have to give him a call later."

Chloe’s mind wasn’t diverted by her conversation. After a moment of thought, she took out her phone and sent a message to Alexander Foster.

No reply.

She made a call, but the phone was switched off.

"Mom, I’m going out for a bit."

"Hey hey hey—dinner is just served, where are you planning to go?" Evelyn gripped her hand tightly, stopping her from leaving.

Chloe looked at Evelyn silently, not raising her voice. After two seconds, calmly and earnestly, she asked, "Mom, something has definitely happened, hasn’t it?"

Evelyn furrowed her brow for a moment, then smiled again, "Not at all."

"I don’t get scared easily, and neither does my child. Don’t worry, if there’s a problem, just tell me. Maybe I can solve it."

Perhaps it was her composed demeanor that calmed Evelyn’s heart. In a short while, Evelyn sighed and said, "It’s not such a big deal, really. It’s just that ever since our vaccine started selling well, as you know, there are people in the country who support it and others who oppose it."

Chloe was indeed aware of this.

Although the vaccine’s sales were rising day by day, some conspiracy theorists claimed that it wasn’t as good as the Whites’ and fabricated all sorts of rumors, but they had refuted each one, and no major chaos had erupted.

"Could it be those who oppose the vaccine have caused trouble?" she asked.

Evelyn sighed, "That’s right. Today Alex and your grandfather were inspecting the workshop; when they came out, they were attacked by a dozen men. In the chaos, the phone got crushed, so now they’re still over there dealing with the situation and can’t make it back in time.

But there’s nothing to worry about; they’re both fine."

"Why would they attack us?" Chloe frowned.

"It seems it’s because those dozen men are employees of White Enterprises Pharmaceutical Plant. Due to our influence, the Whites had to shut down several factories, causing them to lose their jobs. Moreover, they’re also among those who don’t trust our vaccine. Hearing that Alex was going to inspect the workshop, they just lashed out without thinking."

She ladled a bowl of soup for Chloe, saying, "Don’t worry, I have just confirmed by video that both father and son are fine; they’ll be back shortly."

Chloe was somewhat distracted, "I’m not worried about his personal safety, it’s just..."

Her eyes were filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Evelyn leaned in, "Yes? It’s just what?"

"It’s just that I’m worried there will be a situation where supply can’t meet demand soon. If that happens and our factories are not enough, and the hospital can’t get supplies, there will be plenty who seize the opportunity to profit. Perhaps there will even be counterfeit products."

Evelyn nodded, "Actually, they have been considering this issue as well. In fact, if we go by the past, the Collinses had numerous partnerships with us, and we shouldn’t worry about this aspect at all..."
