27 Bankruptcy

Lu Pharmaceutical company,

Time was running out for resolving an outstanding debt. The 60- day deadline before which a resolution has to be in place will be ended in two days.

Ira still not giving up was looking for Other Healthcare Companies and Investments Groups for investments, constantly on her Phone.

'It was all Ash's fault' she thought.

If not saved this time the company will go in hands of others. She had somehow managed the company after the failure of major drug 'imatinib' for cancer. Taking the whole blame on her head then.

This Time, the Mess is Huge! Not easy to Salvage the situation.

Dad was already a heart patient. His condition had worsened for the last 6 months, He had a heart attack and was hospitalized. Ira took care of him. After losing her child and Viv; Ira herself had been suffering from insomnia and depression.

All the responsibility of company fell on shoulders of Ash. She thought it was in safe hands.

Just 6 months of her absence and the company now faced bankruptcy.

Her brother and James jumped into a new healthcare technology which claimed to have devised blood tests that only needed very small amounts of blood. The technology was revolutionary and that its tests required only about 1/100 to 1/1,000 of the amount of blood that would ordinarily be needed and cost far less than existing tests.

He invested all shares of the theb company in his hands in it.

Not only that he took loans from banks.

The plan was good.

Only if it was True. There never existed such technology.

It was a false claim.....

The Company now faced fraud and conspiracy charges with investors pulling out their funds and shares. Many Pharmacy Chains Terminated their contracts. Many filed lawsuit claiming continuous breaches of contract. They had to pay Fines; With an added debt of loaned money for the Project.

If the project was not a success where did the money go?

There was no way to contact James. He seemed to have Vanished. There was something wrong with the attitude of James and Ryan. She trusted them but their disappearance implied their betrayal.

Dad was just discharged from the hospital a few days back, Ira naturally would not be a fool to tell a person who just got up from bed after aheart attack such a

saddening news.

The Company is his Pride.

Her Strong Father's weakness.

The Company will be auctioned If they didn't pay back the debt.

The name of Lu Pharmaceutical company was already tarnished.

Ash hid everything from her. Even when the technology failed, he didn't tell Ira. It was an old employee who contacted Ira, did she came to know of the matter.

'Now where is he? Running away after making a mess has always been his habit. Shrugging his responsibility'

Disappointed with the replies of the investors, Ira was about to throw the mobile in anger when it beeped. It was a message. Ira looked at it hoping it to be from a creditor.

It was Ash's message

Which read:

"Goodbye, Sis. I hope you can Forgive Me."
