Eadwig looked crestfallen. Not only had he been cuckolded, but he had also been a father for several years. The two women in his life had no real connection to him.Ashton, not particularly good at offering comfort, said, "Mister Cheston, you should consider yourself lucky. Your illness has protected you from contracting HIV. So it's not all bad." Eadwig's face turned even greener.He was the wealthiest man in South Oriental, with a wife who had betrayed him and a daughter who was not his. He would have lost his mind if he were an ordinary man."Doctor Levin, you don't have to console me. Miss Lockwood, let's discuss the partnership you proposed later tonight. I have some family matters to attend to for now."Eadwig left with the weight of a shattered reality hanging over him. He was the wealthiest man in South Oriental, so the deception was humiliating.Eadwig boarded his private jet back to Seanic headquarters while Ashton and Kendra headed to Holden Company to finalize their pl

"Cousin, you're truly remarkable! With this endorsement, your standing in South Edren will be cemented! You've already achieved so much in just a few years," Shylah Carter said. She was Alora's cousin and a student in college. She was visiting them for her winter break. Her excitement was palpable. "Your worth must've skyrocketed to tenfold, right?""Only tenfold? Shylah, you're underestimating Acton Chamber of Commerce. The drug they're releasing will take the country by storm. We are the exclusive agent in South Edren, and Miss Blau, the Acton Chamber of Commerce's president, handpicked us to be her collaborator! Our worth must be up a hundredfold!" Howard boasted."Mom, has Jaxson arrived yet?" Howard subtly signaled Florence."Oh, he should be here soon. Let me call him," Florence said, quickly catching on.At that moment, Howard approached Alora. "Sis, we owe our family's resurgence to Jaxson's 70 million-dollar contribution. Make sure to thank him when he arrives."Alora nod

People eagerly jostled to the front. Doctor Taylor sat calmly on the elevated platform at the event venue."It is Doctor Taylor! I was fortunate to see him once three years ago in Central South. It's definitely him!" someone exclaimed, visibly thrilled."Doctor Taylor?" Jaxson, the knowledgeable young master of the Xenakis family, had naturally heard of Doctor Taylor's reputation. The doctor was not only famous in the South Oriental and Central South regions but also in the North and the Imperial Capital. His name was legendary in the elite circle. Jaxson was there to mock Kendra, so he did not notice Doctor Taylor.He saw the old man sitting there as the crowd flooded the platform."They managed to get Doctor Taylor here?" he said, incredulous."Jaxson, who is Doctor Taylor? Is he really that incredible?" Shylah and Howard looked puzzled."Incredible? He's the top expert. Any medication he endorsed will sell out to top-tier magnates almost immediately," Jaxson said, smacking his

"Who would frame you by risking a human life? Do you think everyone is as vicious as you and the Lockwood family?" Jaxson retorted persistently."If we catch the real culprit, we'll know who's guilty, won't we? Or are you afraid?" Ashton responded with a smile."What a joke!" Jaxson chuckled as he looked at the crowd. "I'm not the one who killed someone for money. Why would I be scared?""Exactly, if you want to prove your innocence, expose the person who framed you. Let's see who is truly guilty!" the crowd shouted.The room burst into agreement, and all eyes turned to Ashton. Doctor Taylor looked worried, while Howard and Shylah seemed to revel in his predicament.'Speaking up for Miss Lockwood? You should be careful, Ashton. She might just let you take the fall.'Ashton smiled and pointed to the corpse. "Easy. Wake her up and ask her. Then everything will make sense.""What are you saying?" Jaxson was initially stunned, then burst into sarcastic laughter. "You want a dead per

Jaxson could not believe it. Was the La Verdure Pill really Ashton's creation? He did not know Ashton also created the Revitalizing Pill. However, the Revitalizing Pill seemed like an incomplete secondary product compared to the La Verdure Pill. It could have swept across the country if not for the La Verdure Pill, but it was doomed to fail.Alora left after seeing the outcome. She no longer needed a launch. The news must have reached Miss Blau by then. Alora was not inefficient; her competitors were too strong and cunning."Jaxson, what do we do now? We can't just walk away, right? You've signed a contract worth several million dollars with my sister's company," Howard whispered.Howard was baffled when he learned Ashton invented the La Verdure Pill. When did he learn to create medicine? However, Doctor Taylor said it, so it must have been the truth."What can we do? Why don't you consult with your mom? She has some great ideas anyway; why are you asking me?" Jaxson glared at him
