Chapter 614 - 613: Carcinogens

Chapter 614: Chapter 613: Carcinogens

The matters of The Grant Family have come to a pause. Since Jared Grant was hospitalized, South Grant has not visited him.

In South’s view, Jared’s current situation is self-inflicted and he deserves it.

Claire Ellison had been lying in the hospital for several years. This kind of suffering, Jared must experience personally, which really feels satisfying.

After South Grant completely cleared Joy Clayton and her son’s influence from the company, he proposed to rename Grant Enterprises back to The Ellison Group.

This time, the renaming decision caused a split within the company, with one faction advocating reverting to the original The Ellison Group name.

The other faction felt the company was stable, and changing the name would impact the company, causing stock market fluctuations.

Eventually, the issue was resolved with a vote, with the majority supporting South Grant’s renaming proposal, and thus the decision was made.

Fiona Grant had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to take down South Grant, and after the company changed back to The Ellison Group, Fiona felt her moment had arrived.

South Grant sat in the office, looking at the accounts handled by Henry Grant previously, when he heard a knock on the door. He said "Come in," and Jackson Zane walked in.

Jackson Zane, appearing somewhat rushed, came before South Grant.

"South, look at the news, Ellison Skincare is having issues."

Just as Jackson finished speaking, the phone in South Grant’s office rang, and he answered, hearing it was from Simon White.

"South, there’s been an issue at the company."

"What’s going on?" South Grant still didn’t know what had happened.

"The Quality Inspection Bureau has come, saying we’ve been reported by consumers, this batch contains carcinogens, and now they’re at the company."

Listening to Simon White’s words, South Grant couldn’t help but be shocked and immediately said, "I’ll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Jackson asked, "Is it Elysian Skincare? The one reported for finding carcinogens?"

"You know?"

"This has already been reported in the news, the coverage is continuously rising, I saw it and came right over to find you."

South Grant realized that this matter would likely escalate, and immediately told Jackson:

"First stabilize Stellaris, the spokesperson for the Beauty Series is our artist, and they might be affected. Handle Stellaris first; I’ll go over myself. I’ll call you if anything comes up."

After saying this, South Grant grabbed his car keys and hurriedly left.

When South Grant arrived at Simon White’s place, the receptionist on the first floor informed him that Simon White had led the inspectors to their warehouse.

Originally, Simon White tried to hold them back, inviting them for tea, but they were prepared, and Simon White couldn’t stop them; he had to take them to the warehouse. Without delay, South Grant drove over to the warehouse.

When South Grant arrived, Simon White was having the workers bring out a batch of goods, waiting to open the boxes in front of the inspectors.

On the boxes, the production date indicated it was the latest batch recently produced.

They mainly contained daily care serums, Beauty Cream, and mask creams.

Seeing South Grant arrive, Simon White came over, quietly speaking to him.

"A consumer reported that our batch wasn’t made from pure plant extracts, but replaced with chemical products, causing their skin to ulcerate, and long-term use may lead to cancer. The consumer went to the relevant authorities to report us, and now they’re here to open and inspect."
