Jordan was released. No matter how insolent he had been outside, he didn’t dare to act the same way in the police station. He left the station after he dutifully and honestly admitted his mistake and wrote a repenting letter.Audrey asked in concern when they got out, “How do you feel? Jordan, are you hungry? Should we take you to supper first?”Audrey was truly a little overboard with her concern. It was not like she would treat her biological son like this—and it was exactly because Jordan was not her biological son that she was so nice and patient with him.She did not receive Jordan’s acknowledgment in return. “You freaking busybody! What does me being captured have to do with you? You could’ve let the police keep me inside if you're so good. I haven’t done anything. They’d have let me out without you poking your nose into this!”Javier thought there was no other way but to give Jordan a slap regarding his parasitic and ungrateful attitude. He did just that right after thinking
Javier was not just saying that. He followed it up with his action. It was just that Audrey glared at him when his hand came into contact with her tights-clad legs.“Can you have some self-respect and stop bullying me? Don’t you feel like you’re a beast sometimes? Not caring about anything and just wanting to take and own?”Javier laughed. “You’re indirect as well. You might as well call me an animal!”Audrey rolled her eyes. “I didn’t say that, although what you think is a tiny bit right.”Javier wanted to quip, but Suzanne came down to the bar. After greeting Audrey, she asked, “It’s all taken care of?”“Mn, it’s done. Nothing much left.” Javier nodded.Suzanne made an “oh” sound and turned to Audrey. “Lady boss, can I have a glass of wine on the house?”Audrey chortled. “Good one, Ms. Quinn,” she said while she poured Suzanne a glass of wine and then left the bar with an excuse.After Audrey left, Suzanne pinned Javier with a jealous gaze, so the latter asked purposely, “Wha
Javier was only saying that. He did not do it.He passed the glass of warm water to Audrey after pouring it for her. Audrey’s reflex was to get up and accept the water, but her stomach was still in pain.Javier told her, looking at her pained expression, “I asked the doctor earlier. He said you’ll still be in pain for three to five hours after waking up. No definite duration as it differs for different people, but it’s not anything to worry about. You don’t have to fret over it.”Javier’s explanation reassured Audrey. She thanked him again after helping her drink some water.The man did not care about that. He was more concerned about what Audrey had done to have eaten her way to the hospital, to which the latter replied embarrassedly, “The weather’s hot, and I got greedy. I had a lot of cold things, so…”Javier made an “oh” sound and said no more. As both of them chatted, and it being at night, they managed to bring their conversation to the bed, and that was that.This part f
Reivaj Group had always emphasized benefiting the people, so it would not sell the drug as expensive as 6-8 thousand dollars. Even if it were 300-500 dollars, it was cheap, but he would still not have enough!The patient was worried, fretting that the 150 dollars in his pocket would not even be enough for the doctor's consultation. What was more, an injection.The truth was, he had overthought because he managed to have both the consultation and was jabbed after that. When he went to pay, he even discovered that the shot only cost 80 dollars.It was out of this world. Everyone’s budget was around 700 dollars, and he had only brought 150 dollars in cash because he was poor. Yet, one injection only cost 80 dollars. He could not help muttering in wonder if the medication was fake.Still, the drug was no heavenly pill. Whether it was effective or not would not show an immediate result. According to the doctor, the patient could only go home and wait to check the efficacy after half a m
Doug immediately understood what was happening. He was smart enough not to have to be told too much.This was because he had suddenly realized a problem through Javier’s words. ‘If some country with a significant force backing them up were to have their eyes on this medicine someday, It’d be a huge problem for us.‘Rather than letting this happen, we might as well ally ourselves with other countries and send them the benefits of our own accord.‘I’ll give you the benefits you want, but I decide how much you receive.‘On the contrary, if I were to wait for you to try and steal it from me, you’d be the one to decide how much you steal or whether you would even leave anything for us.‘So Javier’s making a brilliant choice by keeping the commanding power in his hands.‘This isn’t just about working together with a particular force, but all of them.‘If we were to ally ourselves with all the countries, who could dare to interfere or even try anything stupid behind our backs?’Thus,
Javier had been selling his products overseas for a very long time, and a lot of people knew that the price of the vaccines overseas was 8 thousand dollars.In other words, the foreign medias’ reviews of Javier were that he was a devil, a heartless businessman.More specifically, they were complaining about how the price difference was just so great, with it being so cheap to Chineans but ridiculously expensive to foreigners. However, this joke of an expert was blatantly lying on television! Javier was enraged to the point he wanted to find out just who this expert was and what his intentions were.In the end, before Javier even needed to investigate, the host of the television show himself could not tolerate it any further. “Do you not like it when your own country is doing well? Do you despise it when there’s a businessman with a kind heart in our own country who’s producing medicine for the right price? I’ve got in my hands solid proof that this vaccine is being sold to for
Doug suddenly gave Javier a call, saying that the research center’s lab was on fire!‘Are you f*cking kidding me!?’Javier had been extra careful to prevent something as destructive as a fire from breaking out in his facility. Just the safety measures and firefighting equipment he had invested in cost him millions of dollars.In fact, the facility should have been so safe that the fire alarm would have rang the moment someone lit a cigarette inside, making the place even safer than trains and planes.Hence, Javier was now feeling frustrated that the lab had caught fire under such a scenario, a big fire, for that matter.Javier immediately put on his clothes and left, even asking Suzanne to follow him before he left.He wanted to find out whether Suzanne had anything to do with this accident. However, when Javier mentioned this to her in the car, Suzanne immediately went mad with rage, even cursing at how useless the security at the research center was.‘Judging by her reaction,
Now that the fire had been put out and the perpetrator had been found, this entire incident reached a dead-end for the time being.The police expressed that they would look into the deceased and give Reivaj Group a satisfying answer based on their findings as soon as possible. At the end of the day, a huge corporation had suffered colossal losses after someone had deliberately started a fire in their territory, so nobody was happy about what had happened. After the police left, Javier gave Herschel a phone call, asking him to look into the perpetrator’s family.‘How else would the perpetrator be able to walk to his own death after committing the crime unless a member of his family was being threatened?’After giving Herschel instructions, Javier began arranging for his men to calculate the amount of losses he had incurred by going through all the equipment.After working away busily for a few hours, they were able to come up with a preliminary sum of almost 500 million dollars,
