Mag-log inThe general assembly then went completely different from the way Philipp had imagined. The unexpected setback that the monkey died in the test phase just before the shareholders' meeting destroyed all of his hopes. Now there was no way to escape the Mafia's stranglehold. If he wanted to stay alive, he had to do whatever they asked of him. And Pamela didn't hold back long after the change was due.
As an enterprising woman, Pamela knew exactly what she wanted. It was also in their interest that RNV3 should go into production as soon as possible. So Pamela had hatched a diabolical plan that lived up to her evil character.
After the terrible scandal during the general assembly, the time was extremely favorable to take Philipp out of the company and send him to a diving station. Due to Philip's sudden failure, as sole managing director, John should quickly have got into trouble to continue the company profitably. Pamela had expected a rapid decline in business, so that John would have had to resort to bridging loans, which, however, could no longer be granted by any of the local banks due to poor creditworthiness. John would then have had no choice but to agree to a deal with Pamela's uncle.
But even after half a year, John still somehow managed to keep the company afloat, so Pamela had to take more drastic measures.
Pamela had sent Philipp to South America, where an excellent eye surgeon was able to correct Philipp's eye defects with a very special laser technique. His long hair had also fallen victim to this external change, so that Philipp could now easily pass as John's image.
Next, Philipp had to lure his brother to the Rocky Mountains under that pretext to discuss the future development of the company with him. But the aim of the example was to let John die in an artificially induced avalanche.
After that, Philipp was supposed to slip into the identity of his dead brother in order to have an easy job in the company. For outsiders nothing had changed. Philipp was still not present, so that John had to manage the business alone. And those who knew John better and could have come to terms with this charade were disposed of as a precaution.
With John's elimination, the scope for action with RNV3 had become completely different. All the many precautionary measures could now be ignored. And if the slimmer should cause life-threatening conditions, then you could blame the dead John, who was officially considered to have gone into hiding, while Philipp would return from his world tour with his identity again and take up his job in the company again.
John would certainly no longer have a problem with the fact that he might then have to be used as a scapegoat. And Philipp could not be blamed because he had been abroad and hadn't known anything about John's decisions. In any case, the necessary alibis had already been arranged in advance.
Whatever the twist and turn, the Canettis would definitely be the winners. Because if the weight loss maker really helped obese people lose weight, the drug would boom and the company could then expand very soon.
After a few years, Pamela would have her husband pronounced dead, so that the grieving widow was the sole heir to the 35 percent of the company. After a reasonable time, Pamela would then officially buy his company shares from Philipp, so that Pamela would own the majority of the company shares. Philipp was then only an insignificant manager who could be dismissed at any time if he didn't dance to Pamela's tune. But Philipp didn't want it to come to that.
All these thoughts went through Philipp's mind as the helicopter flew back down into the valley. He had so hoped that John would survive the avalanche. Old Canetti had intended to take John to the afterlife in a far less spectacular way. With a shot in the head, his body would have been sunk in the sea, or it would have been processed into fishmeal.
But Philip had insisted that John should die believing that a natural disaster was to blame for his death.
Tormented by self-reproach and remorse, Philipp felt very miserable. He wanted to vomit. But he suppressed the urge of his revolting stomach. His brother now had to pay for his mistakes. That just wasn't okay. Been. Philipp had never been able to develop this close relationship with John, as was the case with other pairs of twins. But despite all the differences and differences, Philipp could always rely on John. And now he had sold his brother for a handful of pieces of silver.
Philipp got into John's jeep. His car was driven by the other two men who also had to return to Vancouver. Philipp had been careful to switch the jackets so that John's papers, keys and credit cards were safe. From now on he no longer had an identity of his own. He was John and had to be damned careful not to give himself away. He also called Pamela from John's cell phone:
“It's over. He did not survive the avalanche. ”
There was a long pause at the other end of the line. But then he heard her sober voice:
“Ok. Then come back as soon as possible. You urgently have to familiarize yourself with the company and yourself so that you are halfway up to date on Monday ”, ordered Pamela soberly. “And don't forget, we're invited to dinner at the Higgins on Sunday. So get home on time. You know how much I hate being late. ”
Without waiting for his answer, Pamela cut off the conversation.
His stomach revolted again. But this time he could no longer suppress the nausea. Philipp jumped out of the car and puked in the ditch. Having to live under one roof with Pamela for the next few months, maybe even years, was beyond his imagination. The price was high, too high.

In the course of the next few weeks, Philipp had more and more trust in Pamela. He told her about the problems in the company, the study that was commissioned, and the vast sums of money the research devoured. In this context, he had also told her about the problems with his brother and that he had no idea how difficult it was to raise this money, when the company was nowhere near as much as the research was currently devouring. And investors were in short supply anyway. In addition, the banks did not want to grant any more credit increases. On the contrary, they were even considering calling the loans due if the necessary progress was not made soon.Without being aware of it, he had given Pamela exactly the information she wanted. Pamela had made it appear as if she wanted to help Philipp out of a tight spot and offered him a change in the amount of the loan amount to cover the loan. Seen in this way, he would have been creditworthy again and more time could have been given t
Philipp had deliberately dropped into the snow and was waiting. He could still take out the radio and warn John. Or he simply failed to raise his ski pole and wave that the signal for the two explosives experts was to detonate the dynamite to set off the murderous avalanche.The two men had already been looking for the right places yesterday where the greatest possible exit was guaranteed.They now lurked hidden behind a protruding rock and watched Philip with hawk eyes. Philipp had no choice, he had to sacrifice his brother for his own life. With incredible effort, he raised his stick and waved it. Immediately afterwards the earth began to shake and a tremendous thunder and rumble filled the mountains.A huge slab of snow had come loose and was moving at high speed straight towards John. But John reacted immediately and drove rapidly down the mountain. Philipp watched John's shot drive tense. Without realizing that he was screaming, he cheered on his brother vi
“Do you think that it really makes sense to do the descent in this weather?”“You don't need to worry. According to the last weather report, the weather remains stable. The pilot also confirmed to me that it would not start to snow, "said Philipp soothingly.“There should be great powder snow in the upper half of the descent. The route is new and only opened up last year. It leads through a wonderful area. I hope you are rested and in good shape, because this descent is really only for experts. ”John nodded confidently, although he wasn't really sure whether he would be fit today. But he didn't want to show himself naked in front of Philip and appear weak."Who else is there?" Asked John."Nobody, just you and me.""Isn't it a little dangerous when only the two of us are on the road?""Come on, where is your sense of adventure?" Replied Philipp challengingly. "We're not wimps, we're real men," he continued euphorically and patted John encou
A week ago, Philipp had called John and told him that he was ready to return to the company. Philipp would now have had enough time to think about how things should go on for him. But he didn't want to talk to John about this delicate matter in the company, but on neutral ground, where there was a relaxed atmosphere and where neither would be exposed to stress or distraction from the company.For this reason Philipp invited his brother to go skiing in Jasper this weekend. Both were excellent skiers, one of the few things they shared in common. The snowfall had started quite early this year, so the conditions for helicopter skiing were just ideal.Even though John didn't actually have time to ski, there was no way he wanted to turn down Philip's request.He urgently needed Philipp in the company so that he could finally concentrate on research again. Perhaps it was really good that he had a physical distance from the pending problems of the company. In the past f
The shareholders had considered John's concerns to be justified and decided against trying the drug on people. The side effects had to be reduced to such an extent that there was no danger to life and permanent damage was also excluded.After the session ended, a heated argument broke out between the two brothers. John had thrown Philipp's incompetence and greed for profit at the expense of others, while Philipp had described his brother as a coward, procrastinator and fearful rabbit, whose willingness to take risks was zero. Philipp was fed up with being put off all the time, while other companies were a lot further with the development of the drug. He wanted to finally get results and not just watch as vast amounts of company money were pumped into research that was unable to finally develop an efficient drug.Here he had met John at a sore point, because he was only too aware of how much money this project cost and how much his meticulous work was thrown back again an
