Chapter 402 Fall From Grace
Emmanuel's expression turned icy when he heard that. He knew someone was behind this, but the
priority now was to settle this matter. He thought it would not be that hard to settle the matter given the
power of his company, but he was wrong. The mastermind was more cunning than he thought. They're
trying to take us down seriously.
Emmanuel narrowed his eyes and leaned on his chair. Gray Corporation was a big company, and they
had taken a lot of business from their competitors, so they had a lot of enemies. Though, not many
dared to stand up against them. The only one who had the power and reason to do so right now was
Katherine. The moment that woman crossed his mind, Emmanuel froze as a realization struck him. So,
this is what she was aiming for.
Hah, does she think she can take me down like this? I bet this is her last stand, but not even this can
help her save Corey. Though, I have to say it has indeed worked in her favor. Now that I have my
hands full on this matter, I can't spare time to snatch that file from her. However, this isn't the end yet!
"Tell the PR department to work their *sses off and take the public eye off us. I don't care what they do;
just make something up to distract the public." He turned his attention to the protesters outside, and he
frowned. "Why aren't these insects going away?"
The assistant wiped off the sweat on his forehead and gulped. "They demand to get paid by today, or
they won't leave. And they said…"

"T-They want to see you. The protesters said that they'll keep waiting until you meet them."
Emmanuel was as black as thunder. "They want to see me? And what use would that be? Do these
lowly peasants think they have the right to see me? What a joke!" His eyes glinted with malice. "Find
someone to distract the reporters. When night comes, get someone to chase these insects away."
The assistant realized what he was planning to do. "Sir, you wish to solve this with… violence?"
Emmanuel sneered. "These parasites won't leave unless we beat them up. We can't let them stand
outside. It'd be an embarrassment for us."
He waved his assistant down impatiently. "Don't just stand there. Do as I say!"
The assistant quickly left the office.

At the same time, Katherine arrived at Lab 7.
Howard was excited to see her. "It's an honor to see you again, Miss Cornell."
The other lab members turned their attention to her as well. They knew of her skills and achievements
now, so they were looking at her in a different light.
Katherine didn't waste any time on small talk. "Is the lab all set?"
Marcus had told Howard about her request while they were on their way, so Howard nodded. "It's
ready."
"Thank you. Please lead the way." Katherine nodded and changed into a lab coat before entering the
lab. For the next two days, she didn't even come out. All she did was concoct the H1 Reagent. She had
no idea what was happening to Gray Corporation, but she wasn't worried at all. She trusted that
Joaquin could easily take them down.
And she was right. Gray Corporation was in hot soup. No matter how much they tried to distract the
public eye from their scandal, every top trending search was still about them.
Emmanuel was beyond livid, and to make things worse, someone found out he chased the protesters
away with violence. They spread the news over the Internet, and the public did not take it well.
Everyone was attacking Gray Corporation.
'They call themselves the top company of Kyoland and the world? How pathetic. This is an
embarrassment.'
'Disgusting. These capitalists are worse than pigs. I can't believe they attacked their workers instead of
solving their project's problem.'
'A company that's worth billions can't even pay their workers. Pathetic.'
'Imma boycott all their products.'
'Me too. Unbelievable.'
When Philip was made aware of the furor, he almost fainted from fury. It took him a long time to calm
down, but when he saw the dipping share prices, he felt his blood pressure rise again. He then called

Twenty minutes later, Emmanuel came home to Gray Residence, looking upset. Before he could even
stand still, Philip hurled an ashtray at him. "What is going on? Is this how you settle things? The whole
Internet is after us! You're an embarrassment!"
Emmanuel didn't explain himself. He was already inundated by the fiasco hitting the company. The
shareholders were demanding an explanation for the dipping share prices, whereas many of their
partners called just to cancel their partnership in light of this madness. Some of the projects that were
in the process of negotiation were lost. In less than two days, Gray Corporation fell from grace.
Everyone thought the Grays were a joke, and Emmanuel was the main focus of it.
The thought of the one who put him in this place filled Emmanuel with fury, and he clenched his fists.
"This is all Katherine's fault! That b*tch did this!"
"What?" Philip froze. "Katherine?"
Emmanuel's face was as black as thunder. Through gritted teeth, he said, "She did this. She set up a
partnership with Universe Group and made me think she was planning to sever our partnership with
Universe. I sought out the president of Universe Group and signed a permanent partnership because of
that. I even invested all our money into it. Our liquid assets can't be taken out, so we don't have any
money to solve our debts right now. She knew this would happen. That's why she set up this trap for
me."
