Mr. Hawthorne, Your Wife Wants a Divorce Again-Chapter 1061: Protected by the Big Shots

At the moment he saw his identity information revealed on that tweet, the influencer’s face turned pale, and a chill surged through his body.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Shortly after the list was released, everyone on it received a gift from Vaughn Clinic.

——A legal notice.

The influencer, who thought playing dead would calm the storm, panicked immediately.

He had written such intentionally critical articles before, and no one else had sent him a legal notice. Why was Vaughn Clinic making such a big deal?!

The influencer hurriedly called his employer to ask what to do next.

Unexpectedly, the other party had blocked him.

...

The Ice Skin Pill incident was quite the scandal, but thanks to Joyce Chancellor’s missteps and frequent scandals drawing the heat, it didn’t spread widely.

Aside from the influencer’s followers and hired trolls, most people were skeptical about the article’s authenticity.

However, there were not a few customers whose doubts led them to stop using the Ice Skin Pill.

The sales of Ice Skin Pill visibly declined.

But unexpectedly, right after Vaughn Clinic posted that tweet, the official account of the National Institute of Medical Research’s testing lab released a test report on the Ice Skin Pill.

According to the test results, 99% of the materials used in Ice Skin Pill derive from the essence of traditional herbs, and regular use does have a whitening and rejuvenating effect. Even people with skin allergies can use it, as it soothes the skin.

What’s more, the herbal essence in Ice Skin Pill is highly nutritious and beneficial to the body, such as clearing the mind and improving sleep.

However, its effects might not be as striking as whitening the skin.

Even more remarkably, right after the report came out, Dean Hale shared the tweet, along with some esteemed old professors from The Medical Institute. Their words were full of support and encouragement for Ann Vaughn.

Seeing those rows of verified blue checkmarks and shimmering usernames, netizens were about to bow down to the influential figures.

——That person in the front row posting a cute bunny emoji is famously known as our most rigid and unemotional professor, who only makes students cry with his scolding, and has never been heard praising anyone... can you believe it?

——A fellow Imperial University alum above, to be honest, this is surreal for me, who exactly is Ann Vaughn to have so many big shots speaking up for her and praising her?

——I can understand other professors speaking up for Ann Vaughn because her achievements don’t fall short compared to these professors, so their acquaintance is reasonable. But Dean Hale from The Medical Institute, who interacts with top leaders, also highly praises Ann Vaughn...

——What’s so strange about it? Maybe Ann Vaughn has given them gifts and courtesies in private, after all, she’s not a traditionally trained doctor. Without some shortcuts, would these influential figures pay her any mind?

——Oh dear, where did this sour grape come from? How come it hasn’t acidified you to death.

——Advising to delete, this isn’t a warning but advice. Any of these ten-plus big figures has an immeasurable contribution to the country and people, deserving our respect, and should not be maliciously speculated against.

The sour-tasting comment didn’t last long before the students and fans of the influential figures on Weibo pounced and overwhelmed it, prompting a quick deletion with not even a peep heard afterward.

Fortunately, such people who can’t stand others’ success are in the minority. Most people are rational and aware that the country has no need to help Ann Vaughn deceive the public.

Once the state endorses something, it must be genuinely good.

Undoubtedly, the sales of Ice Skin Pill rose again, trending toward breaking a certain highest sales record.

After Ann Vaughn learned about the incident on Weibo, she immediately called Dean Hale to thank him for standing up for Vaughn Clinic at such a time.

Dean Hale didn’t mind, "I just casually shared the tweet. It’s no big deal, genuine goods should not be buried."

"Still, I must thank you, and those esteemed professors at The Medical Institute." Naturally, Ann Vaughn didn’t truly believe it was no big deal.

On the contrary, this incident means that Vaughn Clinic, being protected by the National Institute of Medical Research, would leave a deep-rooted impression in everyone’s mind.

No one would have the audacity to exploit public opinion against Vaughn Clinic.

On the surface, it may seem trivial, but in the long run, Vaughn Clinic stands to gain significantly.

Thanks must be shown not only verbally; gratitude gifts should be prepared to show appreciation for the profound kindness of those at The Medical Institute.

However, Ann Vaughn had nothing particularly gift-worthy to offer, only some potions and pills. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"That’s nothing." Dean Hale chuckled, "If you really want to thank them, how about leaving a few boxes of special hypertension medication? Most of them are quite old, and no matter how well they maintain themselves, they can’t avoid various ailments."

Personal use is secondary, the main thing is the irresistible urge to study the pharmacology of such medicine, to see if it’s as effective as claimed.

"Of course, I’ll have the items sent to The Medical Institute shortly."

Hearing this, Dean Hale immediately straightened up and said urgently, "No need to trouble yourself, I’ll have my assistant come pick them up."

After about half an hour.

Dean Hale’s assistant returned to the Dean’s office carrying two large boxes, where aside from Dean Hale, there were also a dozen old professors present.

As soon as the assistant walked in, Dean Hale and the professors’ eyes all lit up, unable to wait for the few steps to take the boxes from him.

"Sigh, there’s no need for gifts, it was just a tweet, a casual action really, how could we accept so many things from a girl?" An elderly professor with a gray beard feigned modesty.

A female professor next to him scoffed, "If you don’t want it, then give me your share later. I’ve been eyeing Old Heston’s bottle of wine for long."

"In your dreams, what’s yours is yours, how can you lack such discretion?" The gray-bearded professor was immediately agitated.

Dean Hale quickly urged them to stop bickering and then fetched a utility knife to open the boxes.

One box contained special hypertension medication, along with fifteen bottles of the mild version of Body Tempering Pills.

The other box had fifteen porcelain bottles of medicinal wine, plus some Ice Skin Pills and Essence Fragrance Cream.

Seeing these items, the only two female professors among them immediately burst into smiles, "Such a thoughtful child, truly someone else’s kids."

The other professors also felt quite gratified. The extravagance of the gratitude gift was secondary; after all, at their position, what good things have they not seen?

The most important thing was the intention behind it.

From the moment he saw the medicinal wine, a smile remained on Dean Hale’s face. To prevent the temptation to pocket all the medicinal wine, he quickly distributed the items.

Rustle.

The assistant, who had just left a short while ago, returned, looking anxious, and said to Dean Hale: "Dean, there’s trouble, J Country is forcing us to send Dr. Vaughn over!"
