Henry listened intently to the guard's report. The murderous intent in his eyes boiled over as he asked, "Are you saying that Isaac suffered greatly before he died?"The guard hesitated before nodding, "According to the hospital, there were signs of incontinence on Mister Timberwood's body. It indicates that something significant happened to him before his death."Henry smashed the glass in his hand in a fit of rage. "Damn it! Who did this?! I'll kill them! Were the bodyguards I assigned to Isaac just for show? They couldn't even protect him!"The guard cautiously glanced at Henry. "The bodyguards were severely injured and lost consciousness. There were no clues at the scene, so the culprit wasn't found. However, we have a clear understanding of the dinner that night."Henry's voice was icy. "Speak!"The guard replied quietly, "There were three people at the dinner. Serena from the Lloyd family in South City, who wanted to take over Mister Timberwood's project, and Mister Timberwo
"I hope nothing bad happens to him..."Although Serena felt a sense of justice hearing about what happened to Isaac from Layla after regaining consciousness, Serena knew one thing very clearly.Although she was filled with hatred toward Isaac for drugging her, if something really bad happened to him, the Lloyd family could not afford the consequences.Layla noticed Serena's concern. "Serena, why are you worried about Isaac? That lecherous fat guy deserved some suffering! Our main priority now should be to find the person who saved you."She looked at Serena curiously and asked, "You really can't remember anything?"Serena sighed and shook her head, "No, I have no memory of it. The only thing I remember is that Isaac drugged me and tried to take advantage of me, but everything that happened after that, I can't recall at all..."Layla was right. Besides Isaac, the most important thing was to find out who saved her. After all, being able to rush into the room decisively in that sit
"Was it Tobias?" After hearing Layla's words, Serena shook her head after a moment of contemplation. "It couldn't have been him. When I was drugged, Tobias wasn't even there..."She did not finish her sentence. Serena could not shake off the peculiar feeling about Tobias's sudden departure that night. She still vividly remembered how, when she was being forced to drink by Isaac and hoped Tobias would say something on her behalf, he silently sat there with his head down.Even after she regained consciousness, Serena had tried to contact Tobias to understand what had happened, but strangely, he never answered her calls."Then, who could it be?" Layla murmured.Only a few people knew about what had happened yesterday.Suddenly, Layla looked up, staring intently at Serena. "Serena! You said the person who rushed to save you… Could it be Liam?"Serena frowned at her sister's words. "Who did you say?"Layla's eyes were wide open. "Liam, my brother-in-law. He called me yesterday to a
Layla was already angry upon hearing Hailey's words."Etchen! How can you speak to us like that?! It was Isaac who drugged our sister! If it weren't for Serena's savior arriving in time, the consequences would've been unimaginable! Is it wrong for us to want to know who he really is?"In response, Etchen snorted coldly. "Unimaginable? I think our situation is already unimaginable! If the military comes knocking on our door, what do you say we'll do? What will happen to the Lloyd Group?"Layla's eyes widened with anger at his words. "Serena was the one negotiating the cooperation for us. None of this is her fault—""That's enough, Layla. Stop talking."However, Serena interrupted Layla before she could finish her sentence. Serena waved her hand, a bitter smile appearing on her pale face."He's right. We won't have a solution if the military comes looking for us. What we need to do now is think about what to do next!"At that moment, Sam, who had been standing to the side, looked
Upon hearing the news, the Lloyd family trembled in fear.Etchen glared at Serena with clenched teeth. "What's going on?! Look at what you've done! Will you only be satisfied if you get us all killed? All you had to do was sleep with Isaac! You've already divorced, so what difference does one night make? Now, look at the mess we're in! Isaac is dead, and his uncle is coming here! What are we supposed to do?!"His face contorted with rage. Given the background of Isaac's uncle, if he brought his men to their home, their lives would be in serious danger.Serena was stunned. She never imagined that after everything that happened yesterday, Isaac would end up dead. Although she was furious with Isaac after he drugged her, hearing about his death made her realize how dire the situation had become.Sam's face was filled with panic. "What are we going to do? I heard Isaac's uncle has a terrible temper and is known for his ruthlessness in the military. If he seeks revenge, we could be in r
As soon as he heard the sound of the bolt being pulled, a look of terror flashed across Etchen's face.He shouted, "General Ender, stop! It's got nothing to do with us! It was Serena who attended the dinner. We know nothing about it! Even if it is related, it is connected to Serena alone. Go find her—"Etchen was terrified, babbling incessantly. However, Henry's guard slapped Etchen hard across the face before he could finish his sentence, sending him sprawling to the ground.Smack!"Do you want to die? This is not your place to speak!"Etchen fell to the floor, his face burning with pain, leaving his mind in a daze. Instinctively, he raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Serena.He believed that Serena caused all of it.It was not just Etchen. Every member of the Lloyd family glared at Serena with hatred. However, they forgot that Serena had attended the dinner because of them, for the sake of the Lloyd Group.Serena sighed softly. "He's right. This
Serena nodded. "Yes! Mister Corona is a friend of Mister Timberwood. I got to know Mister Timberwood through Mister Corona. He was present during our meal, so he might have some clues. General Ender, could you please give me some time to contact Mister Corona?""No need for such trouble."General Henry gave a cold smile and signaled to his guards. Immediately after, a terrified voice echoed as several soldiers brought In Tobias."I don't know anything! Mister Timberwood asked me to go out and buy things for him. I didn't even return to the hotel!""Tobias?"Serena was stunned at the sight. She did not expect that General Henry had already captured the person she could not reach, Tobias.Henry sneered. "If you wanted to call him, I doubt you would have reached him. When I found him, he was at the airport. He would've already escaped if I had arrived a bit later!"Serena was even more taken aback. "What?"However, Hailey, not understanding the situation, saw Tobias as her last ho
Serena abruptly widened her eyes with disbelief as she looked at him. "The incident with the Hill family… It wasn't you who did it? It wasn't you who spoke to the Hill family?""What does that have to do with me? It was you who insisted on giving me the credit!" Tobias snapped back at her, deflecting the blame.The rest of the Lloyd family stood there, stunned by Tobias's words. They had not expected to uncover another truth while dealing with Isaac's death. The Hill family spared the Lloyd Group and even agreed to resume their collaboration was not because of Tobias.Serena was momentarily dazed. "Then, who could it be?"For a moment, her heart was filled with confusion and uncertainty. During the incident with the Hill family and even Isaac's drug attempt, when someone saved her at a critical moment, made Serena feel as if there was someone silently protecting her.Instinctively, an image of Liam angrily telling her that the Hill family matter had nothing to do with Tobias flash
"My parents said you told them you were taking over South City Bank."Serena sighed.Clearly, she had not taken the statement seriously. Even though she once had her suspicions, she eventually dismissed those thoughts after calming down.After all, the acquisition of United Finance by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had happened so swiftly that news of it had not yet spread widely. Only some rumors had circulated within certain inner circles in South City.Serena knew nothing of this.To her, Liam's claim about taking over South City Bank sounded utterly ridiculous."So, since your mother already told you my purpose for going to South City Bank, why are you asking me where I got the information from?" Liam raised his head and looked at Serena."You…"Hearing this, Serena froze, her stunning face full of confusion. She couldn't make sense of what Liam was saying."Ah…"Seeing her reaction, Liam sighed lightly. He was about to take out his phone to make a call."I'll let
She looked at Liam, her gaze filled with sincerity.The moment Liam heard what Serena said, he froze.His eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at her.This was the first time Liam had heard Serena apologize!"If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what would've happened to the Serena Group..."Serena lowered her head, her cold yet stunning face showing a trace of complexity.Seeing this, Liam was taken aback once again.Compared to the Serena of the past, she had changed so much!It was clear that after going through a series of events, Serena had grown a lot. Her attitude had softened significantly."You don't need to thank me for those matters." But quickly, Liam regained his composure and waved it off lightly. "After all, those poisoned patients were innocent. I couldn't bear to see them suffer like that."However, there's a slight error in what you just said."He raised his head to look at Serena."It wasn't the master of the Medicine Guild who treate
"Hmph!"However, Lucy ignored Agustine. With a cold snort, she angrily picked up the approval documents for the White Glycoside Cream and marched out of the room.Seeing this, Agustine hurriedly followed her.In his view, Lucy, the person in charge of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, was perfect in every way, except for her somewhat fiery temper.Meanwhile, Liam had no idea what had happened after he left. But even if he had known, he might have assumed Lucy's reaction was due to her frustration over the promotion of White Glycoside Cream.At the moment, he was already at the airport, boarding a flight back to South City.The next day.Following the address agreed upon with Serena, Liam arrived at a coffee shop in South City.He was quite familiar with this place. This was where he and Serena had met for the first time.On the day Liam was released from prison, Serena had wanted to meet him here, but Hailey had done everything possible to stop it — all in this very coff
Even so, she was still shocked by the news about Matthias."Whether or not we visit doesn't matter."However, faced with an opportunity that most people could only dream of, Liam remained unusually calm. He waved his hand and said, "Doing more beneficial work for the advancement of traditional Hestian medicine is far more important than visiting me!"Liam did not care much about Matthias's visit. For him, he had already witnessed far broader horizons!"In any case, Grandmaster Burrey, thank you this time!"Agustine did not dare respond directly to Liam's words. Instead, he kept bowing his head in gratitude, saying repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you.""No need to thank me." Liam turned to Agustine and said, "If you truly feel indebted, then work closely with Lucy to expedite the production of the White Glycoside Cream.""I'll still have use for the medication once it's launched.""Grandmaster Burrey, rest assured!"Hearing this, Agustine lifted his head and responded earnestly,
"Miss Hill…"Hearing Lucy's words, Agustine froze suddenly. He opened his mouth but couldn't figure out how to respond at that moment.Whether it was Lucy's remarks or the questions raised by Matthias, neither was wrong.It was just that they viewed things from different perspectives.The more it was like this, the more unsure Agustine was about how to persuade them.However, at this moment—"That's enough," Liam's voice sounded. He waved his hand and said calmly, "It's fine if we don't promote it for now. As long as the medicine can go to market, there won't be any problems."Liam maintained a rather composed attitude about all of this. After all, the original purpose of the White Glycoside Cream was simply to treat those few patients with severe skin damage at Golden Cross Hospital.For now, as long as they could obtain the medicine and heal their scars, the White Glycoside Cream would have fulfilled its intended purpose."But Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing this, Lucy turned he
Even though the Hill family's current strength was impressive, and the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's influence continued to expand, they still could not quite compare when faced with someone of Matthias's status."That's right!" Agustine nodded, smiling. "Mister Kien has been very supportive of the relevant matters, and has even made some policy changes..."Then, he mentioned Matthias's latest orders regarding traditional Hestian medicine."Mister Kien has made so many new decisions?" Hearing this, Lucy's face showed a hint of surprise. "Does this mean that Mister Kien has started to recognize ancient Hestian medicine?""Mainly because the effects of the White Glycoside Cream are truly astonishing..." Agustine smiled wryly."If that's the case, then it's a good thing." Liam glanced at Agustine and spoke softly.At first, he had thought that reviving ancient Hestian medicine would require a lot of effort. But now, it seemed that with the gradual shift in the official stance
"When you go to communicate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, make sure to explain things thoroughly to Grandmaster Burrey."Matthias was worried that not allowing the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to excessively promote the White Glycoside Cream might leave a bad impression on Liam.He looked at Agustine and said, "It's not that we're not allowing the promotion of White Glycoside Cream, but this moment is just too special.""For the future of traditional Hestian medicine, we hope Grandmaster Burrey can understand."Once the current chaos in the market calms down, the Hestia Drug Administration will be able to step in and help the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation with the promotion, as a form of compensation!"If this situation affects the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, I will apologize to Grandmaster Burrey in person when I go to South City in a few days!"It was clear that Matthias truly valued Liam. When he spoke, he was sincere!Mainly because the effe
The head of the Hestia Drug Administration went to South City just to meet Liam!However...Faced with this astonishing scene, Agustine did not react much.His attention was always focused on something else."Mister Kien..."Agustine pointed to the approval document for the White Glycoside Cream under Matthias's hand. "The document you signed, I've already taken it, haven't I?"At this moment, he was in a rush to take the approval document and quickly return it to Grandmaster Burrey!"You..."Upon seeing this, Matthias froze for a moment.How long has Agustine known Grandmaster Burrey, and yet he was already in this situation!"Hurry and take it!" Matthias waved his hand, showing a hint of impatience. "It's just an approval document for a product launch. Why are you in such a hurry?""Thank you, Mister Kien!"Hearing this, Agustine quickly stepped forward and grabbed the approval for White Glycoside Cream tightly in his hand. "About what you said, that you were going to Sou
"Because whether it's the Bellflower or the White Glycoside Cream, they are both products of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation..."Agustine looked up at Matthias and softly responded."What!"Upon hearing Agustine's words, Matthias's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief!Just now, he was too shocked to ask Agustine who owned the White Glycoside Cream. But Matthias had never imagined that the White Glycoside Cream was also a product of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!If the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's initial release of Bellflower was a coincidence, then now, bringing out the White Glycoside Cream means that the Foundation might have even more hidden products!No wonder Agustine said that to find effective treatments, one doesn't need to dig through the earth!"So, you came to Juneau this time because the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation entrusted you?" Matthias looked at Agustine."I don't have the qualifications to be entrusted by the Verdant Harvest Char
