“Hmph! You’re trying to go against us, are you? You’re just making things difficult for yourself!” Seeing
Lana in such a mess, Eleanor smirked.
Business was a warzone. The Welch family was familiar with using underhanded tactics to make things
go their way.
In the past, those who failed to show proper respect and refused to align themselves with the Welch
family were destroyed. Clearly, it wasn’t going to be any different for the Camrons.
“Those are just rumors! Nothing but fabricated lies!” Matteo stepped out when he saw that Lana
couldn’t handle the crowd.
He stated solemnly, “I guarantee with the Camron family’s reputation at stake that the entire production
of Dew Balm adheres strictly to regulations.
“There can’t possibly be any problems with our products. What happened today is because someone is
out to frame us!”
“That’s rubbish! I have concrete evidence that you are the reason my father died!” the man bellowed.
As he said that, a woman rushed up to the corpse and began wailing miserably, “Father! You have died
a horrible death!

life taken away from you! How unfair!”
At the sight of that, camera shutters began clicking away again, capturing how woeful the woman
appeared. Condemnation from the onlookers intensified, and things started to get out of hand.
“A life for a life! Since the Camrons have killed someone, they should bear full responsibility for it!” Ezra
began to fan the onlookers’ rage.
“That’s right! The Welch and Swanson families are for the nation and the people! We will never watch
on as the Camrons oppress and bully the weak!” Eleanor backed Ezra up.
Not only did she slander the Camrons, she even praised her family while at it. Just then, several cars
sped up and pulled up by the roadside.
The doors opened up to reveal several men in uniforms. They marched in authoritatively. Everyone
made way for them as they passed through.
“Who among you is the founder of Dew Balm?” A bald man who was at the forefront swept his gaze
over them. He looked like he was up to no good.
“I am.” Lana stepped forward and asked, “May I know what seems to be the issue, sir?”
“We’re from the Food and Drug Administration. According to our research, we’ve found that the Dew
Balm has a high content of harmful substances. That is a serious violation of the law.
“I now declare that your company shall permanently cease operations. The Dew Balm is to be banned
and taken down from the market. It is not to be sold anymore!” the bald man announced loudly.
“What?” Lana’s expression fell. “The Dew Balm has been through a strict inspection. How can there
possibly be any issues with it?”
“It isn’t up to you to decide whether there’s a problem with it. Now, I need you to come with me for
further investigation!” The bald man stared at her icily.
“Sir, the Dew Balm has already taken a life. All relevant individuals must be appended, especially that
person over there!”
Eleanor suddenly pointed a finger at Dustin and said viciously, “As far as I know, he’s the one who
came up with the formula for Dew Balm.
“Now that someone’s dead because of it, he should bear the responsibility! He needs to be severely
punished!”
“Oh? Is that so?” The bald man’s gaze swept over to Dustin sharply. Then, with a wave of his hand, he

Once they received his order, several men in uniform behind him immediately pulled out handcuffs.
“Wait a minute!” Lana stopped them. This has got nothing to do with others. If there’s anything wrong
with Dew Balm, it is my responsibility to bear. No one else is to be implicated!”
“Lana, you better think this through. There’s a life involved, so this will be a serious case. If you get
detained, you won’t be getting out any time soon.
“Is it worth it to take the blame for a little boy toy?” Eleanor asked nastily.
“Hah! I dare not claim to be a saint, but I will never repay kindness with ingratitude! I’m not so
heartless!” Lana sneered.
“You!” Eleanor’s expression twisted with anger. “Fine! Do you like going to jail? Have it your way!
“Arrest her and punish her severely!”
“Arrest them!” The bald man gave orders to his men with a wave of his hand. He had Lana cuffed.
But just as they were about to haul her into their vehicle, Dustin, who had stood by watching, spoke up,
“Hang on … I have something to say.”
“What? Are you going to obstruct the enforcement of the law?” The bald man shot Dustin a glare.
“The law? What law?”
