Chapter 965
Thea drank the poison but seemed to be entirely unaffected.
The crowd was perplexed.
Even Jonathan was baffled by what was happening.
He was so sure that his poison was extremely lethal and would kill anyone in a few minutes.
A media reporter stepped forward and pointed a camera at Thea, getting a close-up frame of her face.
Thea stood up and looked at Jonathan, who was tapping his feet and fidgeting nervously.
She gave him a satisfied smile.
"What do you have to say, Jonathan? I consumed the poison you made, but nothing seems to be happening.At this
rate, is there really anything to even neutralize? Are you sure you haven't gotten worse over time? Did you concoct
your poison wrongly?"
Thea mocked Jonathan and humiliated him for everyone to see.She turned to the media reporter and said, "The
reporters are broadcasting everything.Everyone had witnessed me consuming the poison concocted by Jonathan,
the head doctor of Universal Hospital.Yet, I remain hale and healthy.In accordance to the terms we agreed upon
before starting, this means that Universal Hospital has lost."
"You must’ve cheated!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJonathan pointed at Thea and shouted lividly, "You didn’t actually drink the poison! You must’ve swapped it out."
"Are you an idiot?"
Before Thea could open her mouth to reply, Gladys stepped forward and began lambasting him.
"Haven’t you lived long enough, you senile old fool? Why are you out here issuing challenges to others? You
should've stayed home and enjoyed your golden years.How dare you accuse Thea of being dishonest when there
are so many witnesses present?"
"That’s right! Or are you just admitting to everyone what a sore loser you are?"
David’s wife, Alyssa, looked at him contemptuously.
Tommy also pointed his finger at Jonathan and his team as he cussed them out.
"You b*stards from Universal Hospital should just get lost! Stay away from our family’s hospital!"
He arrogantly swung his fist in the air, trying to intimidate Jonathan and his men.
After confirming that Thea was fine, the Callahans started to loudly condemn Jonathan’s party.
Jonathan’s face twisted in anger.He could not understand how Thea was still healthy after consuming the poison.
Instead of leaving, he sat and waited patiently.He wanted to see his poison take effect.
Surely it was but a matter of time before it kicked in.
Unfortunately, another minute passed, and his wish did not come true.Her face was rosy and full of energy,
showing no signs of having been poisoned.
"What's wrong? Are you going back on your word?"
Thea’s face darkened threateningly.
In a mocking voice, she addressed him again.
"Or are you unconvinced? Do you want to go for another round?"
Jonathan glared at Thea.His eyes were bloodshot and radiating anger.
"You may be clever, Thea, but this isn’t over.I'll be back."
After leaving his threats, he left shamefully with the people of Universal Hospital.
"Get lost!"
"Pfft! How shameful!"
"You can’t even prepare a proper poison and yet you want to compete with James? You’re lucky he isn’t here yet, or
he’d wipe the floor with your body."
The crowd heckled and jeered at him.
Thea stood up, looked at the crowd, and said in a clear, authoritative voice, "Alright.Show’s over.Everyone can
leave now."
"Could I trouble you for an interview, Ms.Thea?"
A reporter stepped forward and made a request.
Thea hesitated for a while and nodded eventually.It was an opportunity to increase the Callahans’ renown.

The female reporter held up a microphone to Thea and asked, "This morning, the sudden withdrawal of major
industry leaders took us by surprise.On top of that, Universal Hospital stormed the streets and attempted to cause
conflict with other clinics and hospitals.Is there a connection between these two events? Also, isn't Universal
Hospital under Centennial Corporation?"
Thea nodded and said, "You’re not wrong.Universal Hospital is under Centennial Corporation.Although I don't know
how Centennial Corporation acquired so many major corporations in such a short period of time, I’m quite certain
that they employed illegal means."
Suddenly, Thea paused.Then, she continued.
"Just this morning, the Callahans were also threatened by Centennial Corporation.They were trying to force us to
disband Eternality and withdraw from the pharmaceutical industry.Otherwise, they threatened to use unscrupulous
means to interfere with Eternality to impede our operations."
"As the chairman of Eternality, I would like to make a clear statement in response to Centennial Corporation’s
threats.Eternality will never compromise or bow down to evil forces!"
Thea declared loudly.Her words caused an uproar.
At the same time, people were shocked by Centennial Corporation’s power.
