THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 597

Smith refused to believe there was anything wrong with the prescription.

In his mind, it was all just fear-mongering from Caitlin.

She simply couldn't bear to see anyone else succeed.

He wasn't an idiot.

He wouldn't be fooled by her words, and he certainly wouldn't halt production of the new drug.

He was going to become a legend in the medical world.

Revered by all.

Griffin's expression grew serious. "Director Smith, I don't think Miss Gonzales is that kind of person."

Before, Griffin had also believed Caitlin to be selfish.

She had the cure for epilepsy but refused to share it with the world.

But after meeting her, Griffin realized she was different from what she had imagined.

She wasn't a selfish person.

Though they had only met once, Griffin had a good feeling about her.

"Not that kind of person?" Smith sneered. "Griffin, you seem to know Freya quite well."

"Director Smith, have you considered the consequences?" Griffin pressed. "If what Miss Gonzales said is true, we'll be ruined."

She had studied medicine for over a decade.

While Griffin wasn't famous, he had built a respectable career. He couldn't afford to take such a risk.

"There's a saying in Eldermere: better safe than sorry. Maybe we should terminate the project?"

"Terminate it? Out of the question!" Smith immediately shot her down. "If you don't want to continue, I can remove your name from the project."

"Remove my name?" Griffin hesitated.

Griffin had worked so hard to get that prescription.

To give up now…

It felt like a waste.

But if he didn't, and if Caitlin was telling the truth, his career would be over.

It was a massive gamble.

Either way, the stakes were high.

After a moment of deliberation, Griffin looked up at Smith. "Alright, Director Smith. I accept your offer. As of today, I am officially withdrawing from the research team."

Moving forward meant a chance at fame.

But the risk was just as great.

It was a risk Griffin wasn't willing to take.

Smith was taken aback. "Are you sure you want to withdraw?" he asked, a hint of disbelief in his voice.

With Jennifer now in custody, if Griffin withdrew, he would be the sole creator of the new drug.

This was an unexpected but welcome surprise.

He had been trying to figure out how to get rid of Griffin and take all the glory for himself.

And now, the opportunity had fallen right into his lap.

Griffin nodded. "Yes, I'm sure. I'm withdrawing."
