Chapter 625: Chapter 624: This Woman Is Extremely Scheming

Professor Tate’s gaze flickered at this moment, "What do you plan to do with those recalled products?"

"There are harmful substances in them, they definitely can’t be reintroduced to the market. They will be collectively destroyed at that time."

Listening to South Grant’s words, Professor Tate raised an eyebrow, "Your batch of goods isn’t small; destroying them completely will cost a lot, far more than compensating those people. This accounting might not be worthwhile."

South Grant just smiled, "Worthwhile or not, even if we suffer a huge loss, we can’t let these things back into the market. Not only does it affect the reputation of The Ellison Group, but it’s also harmful to human health, and that’s what’s most important."

Listening to South Grant’s words, Professor Tate felt quite satisfied at this moment.

Although South Grant and Fiona Grant are sisters, their way of handling things is nothing alike.

Fiona Grant will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, placing interests above all else, but South Grant is not like that.

South Grant is not foolish; it’s obvious that she noticed the expression on Professor Tate’s face has eased considerably from before.

At this moment, she picked up an orange from the table and handed it to Professor Tate, who did not refuse this time.

Afterwards, South Grant attempted to chat with Professor Tate, who was in a good mood at this moment and engaged in conversation with her.

Professor Tate has a daily habit of reading newspapers, and when the nurse delivered them, he glanced at them, catching sight of the finance section.

Upon seeing the article about Fiona Grant’s company holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony in three days, his previously good mood instantly vanished.

South Grant glanced at it lightly and saw that piece of news too.

At this point, South Grant spoke, "Professor, I’m quite curious. Fiona Grant didn’t study dermatology at the time; why did you take her on as a student?"

Professor Tate frowned when this was brought up, "That woman is very cunning. She hadn’t yet entered university at that time, but somehow she heard that I was researching skincare and tried every means to get close to me. I was solely focused on my research and had no intention of taking on students, but Fiona Grant was persistent, coming to the lab daily. I couldn’t get rid of her; she knew my favorite foods and would line up early every morning to try to buy the first batch. Her sincerity moved me at the time, so I took her on as a student. But gradually, I found she loves shortcuts, always looking for rewards without effort. When I prepared to reprimand her, she stole several of my research outcomes, then went to Grant Group, swiftly becoming the manager of the research department. After that, I no longer had her as a student."

South Grant listened quietly to Professor Tate, realizing this way of acting is indeed Fiona Grant’s style.

"However..." Professor Tate paused here, with South Grant watching him, "Professor, what do you want to say?"

Professor Tate looked South Grant up and down, then sighed:

"Telling you won’t change anything, but when Fiona Grant took my formula, there was one recipe that hadn’t yet been successfully researched. It was for skin whitening. The last time Fiona Grant brought it over, I recognized it was made using my unfinished formula. It’s very effective for whitening, but it contains an ingredient that can cause cancer. Your company’s situation is different; this substance truly causes cancer if used long-term. It has amazing whitening effects, but once you stop using it, your skin condition becomes terrible, and prolonged use leads to cancer. When this formula first emerged, I planned to abandon it, deciding not to research further. However, Fiona Grant saw it as a business opportunity, knowing everyone’s pursuit of whitening. She also knew I wouldn’t give it to her, so she chose the route of stealing the formula."
