The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 523

The moment Scales spoke, all eyes immediately shifted to Kali standing behind him, their faces twisted with the anger of betrayal.

“So President Carmichael was telling the truth after all!”

“Now that Scales himself has admitted it, that means the NecroBlitz Tablets weren’t even developed by Ms. Glenwood—she just stole them from her family.”

“Unbelievable. Ms. Glenwood has some nerve, lying about something like this. Absolutely two-faced.”

“She didn’t even bother to check if the pills were safe before putting them up for auction. Stupid and downright malicious.”

...

Kali’s face went pale, and she kept her head bowed, unable to meet anyone’s gaze. Her voice trembled as she spoke, “I’m sorry. I lied... but I really didn’t know the NecroBlitz Tablets were only a prototype.”

She could practically feel the contempt in everyone’s eyes, even though she didn’t dare look up.

The anger in the room only seemed to grow as people glared at Kali.

“There’s no point in listening to anything else you have to say, Ms. Glenwood. You’re vain and a compulsive liar. You had us bidding on an unfinished drug, with no regard for anyone’s safety or life. That’s just reprehensible.”

“Who’d ever trust a word from you again?”

“Shameless. And to think we actually believed your NecroBlitz Tablets were the real deal.”

“Looks like President Carmichael was right to slap you earlier. If anything, she went too easy on you.”

...

All the while, Scales stood by, watching coldly as Kali was bombarded with accusations. When it seemed everyone had vented their anger, he finally spoke up, his tone deliberately calm in an effort to ease the tension.
