Chapter 2054
After Aaron's arrest, the Larson family was thrown into unprecedented chaos.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Old Master Larson was so enraged that he fainted on the spot and had to be rushed to the hospital.
The police immediately brought Alvin in for questioning. He was kept at the station for so long that his hair started turning white before he was finally allowed to leave. However, they also imposed a travel ban on him, forbidding him from leaving Savrow until the case was resolved.
As Alvin was about to get into his car, shielded by his secretary and bodyguards, a rotten egg suddenly came flying from nowhere, smashing against his head.
"You're using live humans for experiments! You're insane, morally bankrupt!"
"You've killed so many innocent people just to develop your drugs! Have you no conscience?!"
"From now on, I'll never buy anything from Larson Group again! Boycott the Larson Group!"
Alvin's face turned beet red with anger as he covered his head and scrambled into the car, which sped off in a cloud of dust. The stench of rotten eggs filled the car, so overpowering that even the driver was on the verge of throwing up.
"Chairman Larson, should we head home to clean up and change clothes before going to the hospital to see Old Master Larson?" The secretary asked timidly.
Alvin finally dropped his usual facade of civility and respectability. In a fit of rage, he slapped the secretary across the face, venting his humiliation from the egg incident.
"Are you out of your mind?! At a time like this, you're worried about changing clothes?! We need to go see the old man at the hospital first!" Then he demanded, "Did the lawyer meet with Aaron? What did he say?!"
The secretary, blood trickling from his mouth, stammered, "Our lawyer said that the young master has confessed to hiding illegal drugs and selling large quantities to gangs like Southern Star. He's admitted to everything!"
Alvin's mind buzzed with shock as he roared, "Why didn't he expose the drug supplier behind this? Has he lost his mind?!"
"That's the strange part!” The
secretary was equally baffled. "The
young master isn't the type to take all the blame like this! Given the severity of the situation, he should be trying to shift responsibility. If he shoulders this alone, he could be looking at ten years or more in prison!
"Even though the young master didn't personally kill anyone and the drugs he sold weren't narcotics, our lawyer says that the public panic caused by the human experiment scandal, coupled with the deaths, makes this akin to manslaughter! Even if we hire the best defense lawyers in the world, the young master will likely spend the rest of his life..."
“Shut your damn mouth!" Alvin slapped the secretary again.
Despite his anger, a dark, guilty relief crept into Alvin's mind. Aaron had conducted this business in secret with his father's tacit approval and support. If his son cracked under pressure and implicated him, the entire Larson family would be doomed.
But as long as Aaron did not break, the family's downfall would not be inevitable. There was still hope for a turnaround.

Alvin arrived at the hospital and quickly freshened up in the restroom before hurrying to the VIP ward to see Old Master Austin Larson.
"Dad, I'm here..." Alvin began as he entered the room, only to freeze in his tracks, stunned.
There, sitting beside the bed, was Mila, gently feeding Austin some porridge.
