Noel was utterly unhappy with Vera's attitude.However, despite her outburst and demand for his gang to leave, Vera sat on the couch instead, with two of his boys standing behind him.He then took out a bottle with the Beauty Pill. "Don't turn us down so quickly, Ms. York. If anything, you're lucky that we took an interest in you. After all, this Beauty Pill that we've developed on our own is a skincare product tailored for women. Try it—we won't bother you if it's ineffective."Noel was taken aback as she stared at the bottle on the table.It was like everything passed for cosmetic products these days."I'm sorry," she said. "I've already taken another endorsement deal and I have too much on my plate at the moment."Bang!Noel was left flinching as Vera suddenly slammed his fist on the table and growled coolly, "I guess you don't know how powerful Salazar Group is, Ms. York. We can kill you anytime we want.""What…" Noel was gritting her teeth in frustration.These people we
Frank suddenly swung his hand, and Vera and the goons promptly fled in fear.Noel sighed and walked up to him. "Thank you so much, Mr. Lawrence."He then gave her a number. "Call me right away if this lot comes to harass you again."Noel nodded repeatedly and carefully stored his number. With everything out of the way, Frank bade her goodbye.-Most of the audience had left the concert hall, and the place appeared bleak even though it was so lively just a moment ago.Winter and the others were by the road, waiting for any cab passing by.Jean was still staring at the autographed photo from Noel and exclaimed excitedly, "Heavens, Winter… I didn't know you knew someone so amazing. Why didn't you tell us?"Winter scratched her head awkwardly. After all, she did not know Frank before!Jean kept rambling on. "Oh, you have to bring him along if there's another concert…""It's just an autograph, isn't it?" Zeb suddenly said, even though he had not done anything. "Anyone with a lit
Winter was surprised to see Frank, though her grim expression soon turned to a smile. "We wanted to get a cab and return to our dorm, but that's a little difficult."Frank realized with a start and nodded. "Then can I offer you a ride?""Sure!" Winter agreed without hesitation.In her mind, Frank would never hurt her—just like her brother.She quickly turned to Jean. "Come on. Let's go back to the dorms in Frank's car.""Sure," Jean nodded without hesitation. "Also, isn't a Maybach way better than a BMW?"Moreover, the man would send them back to the dorms instead of a hotel.Aria had been staring fixedly at the Maybach ever since Frank showed up, promptly clinging to Winter's arm with a broad grin. "You can't leave me now, Winter. Let's go back together."Winter turned to look at Frank and see if he approved, and Frank smiled. "A friend of Winter's is no issue.""Thank you, Mr. Lawrence!" Aria exclaimed excitedly and brazenly rode shotgun.Jean rolled her eyes but had no cho
Zeb snorted. "Of course I do. Winter and I are the same age, and we're university students whose futures are bright."Staring at Frank pointedly, he chuckled. "How old do you think you are? Quit chasing after younger women, geezer, and stay away from Winter's birthday party if you know what's good for you."Frank smiled—so after all that, the boy mistook him for a rival. "Whether I show up is none of your business, just like who Winter dates is her business—neither of us get to have a say."Frank then got in his car and waved him off. "Now, move."Zeb was gritting his teeth in frustration, his knuckles clenched and clearly having no intention to do so.Frank did not bother wasting his breath and floored the gas pedal.As the Maybach shot toward him, Zeb promptly leapt away in shock. "Are you trying to kill me?""I thought you'd never dodge." Frank chuckled coolly and sped off."Fuck…" Zeb cursed, but there was nothing he could do!-Meanwhile, Vera and his two goons returne
Vicky asked, "Hey, Frank. Where are you?""Skywater Bay.""Then come over to Verdant Hotel. Grande Corp has just called for a press conference to announce the Rejuvenation Pill."'Wait, have you seen the news?" Frank asked. "The Salazars' press conference is held at the Verdant Hotel too."Vicky nodded. "Yep. They are doing it on the nineteenth floor, while we're doing it on the twentieth."Frank laughed. "So you are hell bent on messing with the Salazars!""Of course," Vicky growled through her teeth. "And I'll wipe the floor with them."She did not think highly of the Salazars in the first place, and they were beyond reconciliation after they killed Obadiah Longman."Alright, I'll be right there," Frank replied, hanging up and heading straight to Verdant Hotel's twentieth floor.There were not many people present, save for Walter Turnbull's side of the family.Only Neil Turnbull from the main branch of the family showed up, with Paul Keaton once again joining him. "You're c
Neil frowned when he saw Dan too.At the same time, all the Riverton journalists quickly mobbed Dan."Mr. Zimmer! Under what capacity are you taking part in Grande Corp's launch conference?""Are you here as a guest, or as an endorser?"Dan chuckled. "I'm here as an endorser, of course."His reply naturally left the crowd restless.The man was the top authority of medicine in Riverton, and his endorsement naturally held greater weight than Noel's. Noel was an on-demand star, and her endorsement would rapidly increase the demand for the Rejuvenation Pill.And now with Dan's endorsement as an authority in medicine that proved its effectiveness, the Rejuvenation Pill would see sales by the truckload!Still, he did not explain himself and hurried backstage.Frank turned to Vicky with a smile. "Inviting Dan is a fine play. No one's going to call the Rejuvenation Pill fake with him around!"Beside them, Neil pursed his lips. "Don't start celebrating just yet. Donald Salazar hasn'
Jaud hurried forward and carefully picked up one of the Rejuvenation Pills.His eyes widened, his pupils dilating right then in disbelief. "Whoa… The pill combines natural elements, and the herbal scent fills the nostrils. It's a wonder."The herbal scent of the pill alone told Jaud that the Rejuvenation Pill was superior to their Beauty Pill."Hah! What nonsense—some shitty pill Grande Corp comes up with won't measure up to our pill!" Donald snorted—he was not about to believe Jaud and took one of the pills right then. Jaud realized he had misspoken and quickly corrected himself. "True, true. This would never measure up to our Beauty Pill no matter how good it is.""Try it yourself," Donald told him. "I don't think it's that good compared to our Beauty Pill."Jaud was actually curious about the Rejuvenation Pill's effect and promptly took one.At the same time, Donald was just about to insult the Rejuvenation Pill again when a stream of warmth unfurled in his belly.Then, all
Donald was left inhaling deeply as he looked on. He decided right then he had to do something, or his Beauty Pill would not sell at all!He promptly beckoned at two of his goons, whispering instructions under his breath…-The Grande Corp's product launch conference was bustling with excitement, with the journalists all showering endless praise for the Rejuvenation Pill.Suddenly, a scream resounded in the conference hall."What?""What was that?"Everyone was left bewildered as a man dropped to the floor in the middle of the crowd, convulsing endlessly.Another man rushed to him, exclaiming frantically, "Brother! What happened?!""What happened?" Dan hurried toward them to find out what was happening, and the crowd tactfully cleared a path. "I don't know!" The other man kept crying. "He took one of the Rejuvenation Pills, and he's suddenly dying! He keeps spasming like that… you have to save him, Mr. Zimmer!" The man's words promptly caused panic."What?" "Could the
