"Deal!" Frederick sealed the deal.The next morning, Frederick woke up in a daze on Jennifer's couch in her office. Frederick was shocked when he saw Jennifer still sitting in her chair, frowning in contemplation.Frederick got up, and asked, "Were you up all night?" "How can I sleep when the criminal hasn't been found yet? We don't even have evidence that our Revitalizing Pills were swapped out. I'm not in the mood for sleep!" Jennifer snapped irritably.“Didn't we say that we would have the results within three days?” Frederick asked helplessly."Are we waiting for the criminal to search their conscience?" Jennifer sneered."Ms. York, we found out that someone in Aston State is selling a product called Rejuvenating Pill. Although the packaging is different from our Revitalizing Pill, they claim it has the same efficacy as our pill! The Rejuvenating Pill is currently only sold to target customers. It's already speculated to hit one million dollars each on the black market!" T
Jennifer stood at the main entrance for three hours.The exhausting day before, coupled with a sleepless night, had left her in a bit of a trance. She staggered where she stood.“Are you okay?” Frederick held her up and looked at her with concern.This was when the receptionist walked out. "Let's go. Mr. Whittaker is ready to see you!"The receptionist was still behaving in a condescending manner. Those who didn’t know her might have thought she was the owner of Anakin Pharmaceuticals."Come on. Let's go!"Jennifer grabbed Frederick's hand, and hyped herself up. Frederick could only help Jennifer by walking with her into Anakin Pharmaceuticals once again.“Come in.”As soon as Saul’s voice was heard, the receptionist opened the office door.Frederick and Jennifer walked into the office. Saul was too arrogant to even rise and greet them."If it isn't Aston's most influential woman. How did she end up looking like this?" Sault pretended to be surprised. However, the smile on hi
"Saul, you!"Jennifer clenched her jaws tightly. Her face was red with fury."Ms. York, please examine the situation clearly. You don't have a choice. Either let Prospera go completely bankrupt, or do as I say," Sault sneered.Jennifer gasped violently. This made Frederick worried.She was in a terrible state.However, Jennifer soon calmed down and took a deep breath. There was a look of defeat in her eyes, but she seemed much calmer.She looked at Frederick, and asked in a hushed voice. "Frederick, if Prospera Corporation goes out of business, are you willing to look after me?" Saul froze for a moment before frowning. This wasn’t the outcome he wanted. He wanted Jennifer to crawl into Shane's bed on her own accord."Of course, but…" Frederick was about to say something when Jennifer cut him off."I care too much about Prospera Corporation's development and how things end, so much so that I've lost my sense of normality. I devote myself to work so that I can prove to those at
"No, we can't let them leave! Security! Get security! Stop them!"Saul was screaming at the top of his lungs.If Frederick left, Anakin Pharmaceuticals subsidiary company in Aston State would be doomed. It might even affect the parent company. After all, the dignitaries of Aston State all had some connections to the Imperial Capital.Saul's secretary rushed out the door.Not long after Frederick and Jennifer walked out of the general manager's office, they were surrounded by security guards.These security guards were all holding electric batons. They glared daggers at the two of them."Frederick, leave the antidote behind. Otherwise, don't even dream about leaving this building!" Saul threatened through clenched jaws after catching up to them."That's odd. Anakin Pharmaceutical's Rejuvenating Pill has issues. Why would I have the antidote?" Frederick pretended to be surprised.Even Saul, who was immensely thick-skinned, found his cheeks turning red."Cut the crap. I'm asking
"Mr. Whalen stayed up late to have fun. He's still in bed…"Just as the housekeeper finished talking, Saul had made his way to Shane's room upstairs.He opened the door. His legs turned weak when he saw the state Shane was in. He had to lean against the door to remain standing.Shane was lying in bed. His face was pale, and the foam by his mouth had already dried. He wasn’t moving at all.The housekeeper who followed him couldn’t help but scream in terror."Why are you screaming? Mr. Whalen hadn’t woken up at this hour, and yet you didn't bother to check on him. You're useless!"Saul slapped the housekeeper while he yelled. He then walked hesitantly toward Shane.The housekeeper covered his eyes, feeling very aggrieved.Shane had been having parties every night over the past two days. He usually slept until late in the afternoon. The housekeeper didn’t dare to bother him.The housekeeper knew that if anything happened to Shane, he would probably lose his life too.He looked n
"Is there a cure?""There’s no cure! This poison was made with over a dozen ingredients that have conflicting attributes. There's no way we can find a cure!"The three of them discussed softly."Certified physicians, hurry up. As long as you can cure Mr. Whalen, I'll give you anything you want!" Saul said to them with a hopeful look.The three of them shook their heads simultaneously."Prepare for his funeral.""Ah…"They sighed."What?!" Saul screamed. Disbelief was written all over his face.Even these three certified physicians couldn’t find a cure.They were the healthcare advisors to the Drakonia Royal Court. They only came to help because the Whalens were influential enough."Mr. Whalen is still breathing. How can there not be a cure? Please, help him!" Saul begged."Let's put it this way. Even if Asclepius came, the poison in his body could not be eliminated!""I'd like to know what exactly he ate. It's a mess! Who could refine a pill with ten medicinal herbs that h
"Mr. Lester, I was wrong!"Saul buried his head in shame.He was the general manager of Anakin Pharmaceuticals' subsidiary company. Now, he was kneeling in front of the general manager of Prospera Corporation's subsidiary company.Prospera Corporation was nothing compared to Anakin Pharmaceuticals."Mr. Whittaker, what have you done wrong?" Frederick asked as if he was surprised."I shouldn't have swapped out Prospera Corporation's Revitalizing Pills from your warehouse with harmful pills. This ended up poisoning thousands of customers who purchased the Revitalizing Pills. On top of that, I shouldn't have stolen the Revitalizing Pill's formula and created the Rejuvenating Pill to sell in the market!"Although Saul was being recorded on camera, he knew Frederick wouldn’t let him go unless he confessed all his crimes."What? I can't believe it! Mr. Whittaker, is there some sort of misunderstanding? Although we've never met, I've heard about you in the business community. How could
"No problem. Since I’ve offered help, I have the confidence to cure him," Frederick said calmly.Saul had no choice but to trust Frederick now, as he was his only hope. Even those three certified physicians were at their wit's end. "We shouldn’t waste any time, Mr. Lester. Please come with me right now!" Saul urged anxiously."Are you kidding me? You should fulfill those three conditions first, and bring Shane to Prospera Corporation after that," Frederick replied, a bit exasperated. With over a hundred billion at stake, Frederick would have no one to turn to if Saul went back on his word after Shane was cured."Mr. Lester, Mr. Whalen might not be able to wait that long!" Saul was anxious."Don't worry, he won’t die anytime soon. Besides, the time he gets to receive the treatment depends entirely on you," Frederick said expressionlessly.Saul took a deep breath, and stood up. "Mr. Lester, I hope you can deliver everything you’ve promised. Otherwise, you’ll face the terrifying
