The Million-Dollar Heart

Jerry felt a jolt run through him. As much as he hated to admit it, Percival's point was hard to ignore. Back in the day, Vince was probably cornered by Harrison into giving false testimony, then turned himself in out of fear of Harrison's retaliation.

"Frank insisted on adding an excessive amount of herbs to the formula against my advice," Vince spoke softly, yet his words reached everyone in the room clearly. "That led to the tragic incident when one of the herbs failed to synergize, causing the disaster."

Head bowed, fingers nervously picking at the calluses on his hands, Vince continued, "Frank had good intentions; he never meant for anyone to get hurt. It's my fault. I should have stopped him, even if it mean risking my job. Then, we wouldn't be in this mess."

Kaitlyn couldn't sit still any longer. Standing up abruptly, she accused, "You're lying! Vince, my dad treated you well. How could you betray him like this?"

"The development and proposal of the new product were your and Harrison's doing! My father never objected to your plans!"

Pulling out a USB drive, Kaitlyn added, "This contains videos from the meeting rooms and labs back then. My dad never once raised concerns about Vince's research."

"He even praised Vince's competence to my mom several times at home."

She then produced a diploma from Frank Littleton's archives. "My father was a distinguished PhD student from Veridia Medical University. How could he not know about the adverse interaction between those two herbs? Vince, accusing him like this is an insult!"
