Sebastian glanced at the photo on his phone and frowned. It was indeed the prescription that Zeke had given him, but Sebastian hadn't even looked at it. How did Mabel get this photo?"Sebastian, I know you're eager to prove yourself, and I didn't want to doubt you. But sometimes, facts are facts, and falsehoods are falsehoods. I—"Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian coldly interrupted, "Is that what you think of me too?""No, Sebastian, that's not what I meant," Whitney interjected anxiously."Ms. Sutton, if there's nothing else, you can leave. There's nothing left for us to discuss. I'm very busy." Sebastian's tone was cold, and his expression was devoid of emotion. Three years of effort, and what had he gained in the end? Whitney questioned him over just a photo. Reflecting on the path he had taken over the past three years, Sebastian chuckled bitterly. Sometimes, one really couldn't expect anything in return, no matter how much effort had been put in."Ms. Sutton, so
"Father, Grandfather has a question for you."A young man dressed in a white suit, handsome in appearance, softly reminded him. His name was Jace Beckard, and he was Stephen's half-brother.However, because his mother was a maid of the Beckard family, he had never been treated well by the Beckard family since he was a child.It was precisely because of his humiliating childhood that Jace's cunning and ruthless character was formed.Under Jace's reminder, Kendrick looked at Clayton with a troubled expression. "Dad, it's about Stephen, he—""What happened to him?" Clayton stared intently at his grandson lying on the hospital bed, and his hand holding the cane trembled uncontrollably.In his heart, Stephen was his true grandson, the future heir of the Beckard family!As for Jace, that despicable bastard born of a despicable woman, if it weren't for his outstanding abilities, he would've been kicked out of the family long ago!"The doctor said even if the surgery is successful, he
"I'm confident that I can ruin his family and him within 3 months and make him surrender to Stephen!" Jace said arrogantly.He wasn't reckless like Stephen, that trash.In Draepolis, Jace was considered one of the four top men in Janover. He was cunning and evil, and even his uncles and seniors envied his means.This time, avenging Stephen was only his excuse.There were many spies from the Beckard family in Janover, so it was very difficult for him to start anything of his own.He wanted to use the Beckard family to create his own business circle. Only then could he make Clayton see him in a new light. With that, he could potentially inherit the position as the head of the Beckard family."Yes, I'm confident in Jace." A man who looked similar to Kendrick walked out. He wore a smile on his face as he approached Clayton. He said to Kendrick, "Ken, I think you should allow Jace to handle this matter. He's still young. He needs a chance to perform and show his capabilities. Cons
Whitney brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and shook her head. "No, this time I want to rely on ourselves!"While a partnership with Bashmore Group was undoubtedly important for Frostwave Corporation, a giant like them wouldn't favor Frostwave Corporation just because of someone's connections. Only their strength could serve as their entry ticket."But Ms. Sutton, if we miss this opportunity, the hard-earned market share we've gained will be divided by others! I've already had people investigate, and Rosé Corporation received their entry ticket just yesterday! It must be that wretched person from the Griffin family again—""Enough!" Whitney interrupted Mabel sternly before she could finish, "Mabel, you must always be mindful of your words! Ms. Griffin is also our business partner, not a wretch, and I expect you to remember that!"Mabel's expression stiffened, and she lowered her head. "Yes, Ms. Sutton."She then added, "But Ms. Sutton, we really can't miss this chance. Rosé
"Really?" Whitney's tone suddenly became excited on the other end of the phone."Winnie, listen to me. The competition is extremely fierce this time. You know what it would mean to become a partner with Bashmore Group." Fergus reassured her. "So, Mr. Beckard hasn't given me a definitive answer yet, but rest assured, I will do my utmost for you!""Alright then… I'll wait for your good news," Whitney said before hanging up.Fergus looked at his phone and chuckled. He thought, "Give you the hard-won entry ticket? You can keep on dreaming!"Ever since Whitney had broken off their engagement, Fergus had harbored a deep resentment toward her. Rather than allowing Frostwave Corporation to get the entry ticket, he preferred to use the Beckard family to end Frostwave Corporation!In the end, Whitney would have to bow to him, if only for the sake of the Sutton family. The thought brought a malicious glint to Fergus's eyes.…Whitney put down the phone, nervously clenching her hands as
Whitney was taken aback by Jace's question. Before the meeting, she had thoroughly prepared and organized all the product information and market feedback for Iceheart facial masks into a neat file. She never expected him to be interested in the Goldcrow pill.After a brief pause, Whitney tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. "Mr. Beckard, the Goldcrow pill is a recent development. I was in such a rush that I forgot to bring it along. But don't worry, I'll have someone bring it right away."She then turned to Mabel and said, "Mabel, please hurry back to the office and have Theresa bring a box of the improved Goldcrow pill over as soon as possible."Mabel nodded and quickly left the room.Whitney took a sip of hot water and asked, "Mr. Beckard, does Bashmore Group also have interests in the pharmaceutical industry?"Jace smiled faintly, shaking his head and tapping his teacup. "Ms. Sutton, that is not the case. Recently, my grandfather's health hasn't been great, so
Jace frowned and asked, "Gandolf, what's the problem? Is there something wrong?"Gandolf let out a cold snort and sneered, "Mr. Beckard, they're trying to fool you."What?Theresa was puzzled.Whitney's heart sank. It was clear that Gandolf was no ordinary person. He had likely discerned something.Unwilling to back down, Mabel asked, "Sir, what evidence do you have for saying this?""Evidence?" Gandolf laughed. "Even if your research team had another five hundred years, they wouldn't be able to come up with such a complex formula!"Turning to Jace, Gandolf continued, "Mr. Beckard, the original formula for this Goldcrow pill is a culmination of the greatest achievements in traditional medicine. Without a thousand years of heritage from a prestigious medical family, it's impossible to create such an intricate formula!"Hearing this, Jace narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Whitney. "Ms. Sutton, if your company cannot even ensure basic honesty, I think we should reconsider our
Back at the club, Jace toyed with the Goldcrow pill in his hand, his gaze intense as he stared at it. "Gandolf, do you mean to say that Sebastian might come from a prestigious medical sect?""Not just any medical sect. He's likely a successor of the Sacred Medicine Society," Gandolf replied with hatred in his eyes.Gandolf was from the Witch Sect and had once been an elder. Over ten years ago, the Sacred Medicine Society had commanded several sects to attack the Witch Sect, destroying centuries of heritage in a single blow. Had Gandolf not hidden in the pond behind the mountain, he would not have survived. Every time he thought of the massacre, his hatred for the Sacred Medicine Society would increase.…Rosalie decided to take a rare day off and drove Sebastian to the city center. She then dragged him into an international, well-known men's fashion store.Half an hour later, Sebastian loosened his tie and smiled wryly. "I really can't get used to these clothes. They're too re
