"No!" the Vice-President yelled, looking flustered now. "Don't contact the President. I'll talk."

“The president is not aware of this matter.. The vice-president's words were barely out of his mouth when Josiah swiftly interjected, his voice dripping with disdain, “You, the vice president, publishing such a deceitful paper without the president's consent?! Do you take us all for fools? Do you think we would swallow your lies without question?"

“Oh, how you misunderstand me! What I meant was that the president was not privy to those specific details," the vice-president reluctantly admitted, his true intentions Laid bare. "The president is growing old and will soon retire. If I want to succeed him, I must make some noteworthy contributions..."

"So, you published that data as your own research findings?" Out of anger, Josiah clenched his fists unconsciously.

Camila had put so much trust in him. She had entrusted him with something so important.

But due to his Lack of discernment, not only did he render her efforts futile, but he also put her in danger's way.

"Do you think that such actions will pave your path to becoming the president? I will most certainly contact the current president and expose the truth!" Josiah's fury blazed, his determination unwavering.

He felt utterly betrayed.

“I trusted you wholeheartedly and placed something so significant in your hands, but you selfishly took it as your own. If you had made genuine contributions, perhaps things would be different, but you didn't! People like you are unworthy of holding the position of president. Your character and integrity are sorely lacking!" Josiah's anger raged Like a tempest!

With the publication of that paper, the vice-president had likely secured his position as the future president. Once the current president retired, he would step into that role with ease.

If Josiah were to report him to the president, it would jeopardize his own career.

“Josiah, I apologize for how things have turned out..

“A simple apology won't solve this matter!" Alick, who now understood the full extent of the situation, expressed his disappointment and anger toward these individuals.

They were driven solely by fame and personal gain. Their actions displayed a complete disregard for the consequences. He couldn't help feeling a deep injustice on behalf of Camila.

The data she had painstakingly acquired, with the intention of advancing the domestic medical industry, had been appropriated for personal gain.

And by someone who didn't deserve it! But in order to confront the vice-president, Isaac's permission was required!

“Mr. Johnston," the vice-president hastily attempted to explain.

“I know I have erred, and I will do everything in my power to make amends..."

“Make amends? And how do you propose to do that? Your actions have already caused harm. Do you think lofty words will make us overlook your transgressions?" Josiah interjected again before the man could finish his sentence.

His anger matched Isaac's in intensity.

He believed that Isaac would never allow the vice-president who cared only for personal interests and Lacked a broader perspective to ascend to the position of president. Under his leadership, the entire Hammaslahti would Likely be doomed!

Isaac had no time to listen to their ongoing argument.

But Josiah had accurately guessed one thing.

Isaac would never allow such an individual to assume office!

“Alick, I need to meet with the president of Hammaslahti Isaac said before making his way out. He paused momentarily, glancing back at
