Following the man, the others also chimed in. "Stupid little girl, you dare spout such nonsense here when you're not even old enough to think for yourself?"
"Didn't your parents teach you how to behave? Do you not feel ashamed for making up such a rumor under our noses?"
"You look beautiful, but that mouth of yours needs discipline. I'm guessing it's probably due to how bad your upbringing was. How about I slowly teach you a lesson after the event, hehehe..."
"Dr. Huntington, you don't have to explain yourself to this kind of person. I'll help you get rid of her right now!"
The crowd kept hurling insults and hurtful comments at Crystal with some even more obscene than the others. Some had even started to gather around her as though they were on a witch hunt.
From the looks of it, just one word from Gregory would be enough for these people to join hands and hurl Crystal out of the venue.
Gregory chuckled. "Miss, how would you know the timing of when we were successful in our development?" Then, he straightened his back and continued, "Neverland Pharmaceuticals successfully developed the Restoration Pill half a year ago, and had been doing clinical tests ever since. I'm sure everyone in the medical industry would know this procedure very well. For some pharmaceuticals, even if they have successfully created a new medicine, it wouldn't immediately be put on the market first. It is of utmost importance for there to be subsequent trials for the newly-developed medicine. Don't you think that it's normal to keep things under wraps before the subsequent trials are over? I'm sure everyone here would agree."
The crowd nodded.
A man beside Daniel then pointed at Crystal and rebuked, "Harrison girl, you should stop this. There is no comparing Cunningham Pharmaceuticals with Neverland Pharmaceuticals. Do you think that they would be able to develop a miraculous drug like the Restoration Pill? I know that you have something going on with Matthew Larson, so you want to speak for that man. However, we should keep our conscience clear in the things we do, right? Not only are you having such a relationship with a married man, but you're also here slandering Neverland Pharmaceuticals. Don't you think that you've crossed the line here?"
