"Turn around? What? Are you able to change things up?" Ezra sniggered condescendingly. He turned around to have a look.All he saw was how great business was for them at Rejuvenaid Pharmaceuticals. Customers were swarming in, and almost everyone in the elite circle of South City had come to show their support. Besides that, there was nothing out of the ordinary."Dustin, I think you're too old for such childish gimmicks. Does such jokes humor you?" Ezra mocked."Hey! Are you just too much of a coward to admit defeat?" Eleanor asked sarcastically. "We have witnesses, evidence, and the signed agreement! There's no point saying more. Just surrender the formula already! It'd be less embarrassing for you that way.""Who said that we've lost? See for yourself, what's that over there?" Dustin gestured in a direction down the road."Hah! Do you think I'd fall for the same trick again?" Ezra huffed without looking back.Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Ezra wasn
Ezra and Eleanor didn't expect so many wealthy people to support Camron Medicals' launch.They began to grow anxious. If this were to carry on, they were beginning to doubt whether they would win."Gentlemen, thank you for showing up and giving us your support. Please, head on in." Lana and Matteo beamed from ear to ear as they welcomed the guests and invited them in for a seat.The Welch and Swanson families dominated the market in South City. With just the Camrons' abilities alone, they would not have been able to get much support. But now that they had help from the Dawson family, many of the wealthy merchants from Easy City turned up to support them. Had it not been for the Dawsons, Camron Medicals would have lost terribly."I never expected you to be prepared for this, Mr. Dawson. I guess now we can have a proper fight against the Welch and Swanson families!" Lana smiled brightly."These are all Dustin's arrangements. I'm only doing things according to his plan." Bo twirled
Those from the Welch and Swanson families could no longer stay calm. They had planned and schemed for so long but never expected that the Langford family, the head of the eight great families, would support the Camrons.There was a stark difference between the Langford family's and the Welch and Swanson families' statuses. They were not even on the same level! Was it possible that the Camron family actually had the Langfords backing them?"H-How is this possible? Why would the leader of the Langford family show up here?" Eleanor's eyes widened in disbelief.That was Ethan, the leader of the Langford family! He was a powerful and formidable minister of the imperial court. Known to be haughty, he never formed alliances with others.Even if Eleanor's parents invited Ethan, he wouldn't even show up! He wouldn't even care for people like Bo and Dustin. So, who exactly managed to get Ethan to turn up in person?"Things just turned bad for us!" Ezra broke out in a cold sweat, fluster
With everyone's gaze fixed on them, the convoy of luxury cars slowly made their way to the opposite side of the road. Finally, they stopped right at the front of Rejuvenaid Pharmaceuticals.Eleanor was elated at the sight of that. "Haha! They're here for us! Our backup is finally here!""Yes! It's time we show them what we're capable of!" Ezra was also overjoyed.Though Ethan's presence had changed things for them, they were fully prepared to reverse the tides."Who could it be?" Alistair mumbled as he rubbed his chin. Anticipation was evident in his eyes.Most of the Welch and Swanson families' allies were already there. Could there be a surprise in store for them?"Dustin! Lana! Bo!" Eleanor called them out one by one haughtily, "I told you, don't be happy too soon!"What do you think now? Not so happy anymore, are we?""I admit that you're quite a worthy opponent. Unfortunately, we're just much better than you!" Ezra said proudly.As Ezra and Eleanor taunted their opponents
At that moment, not only Eleanor but everyone from the Welch and Swanson families were shocked.Never in their dreams had they expected things to turn out this way.They had a chance at winning the bet had it just been the Langfords. But now, there were even two ancient houses involved. No matter their tricks or abilities, they were all rendered useless.After all, there was a stark difference between wealthy families and ancient houses. They were on entirely different levels! Wealthy families were just rich. But ancient houses wielded power and influence! The rich were nothing compared to the powerful and influential.It would not be an exaggeration to say that ancient houses could wipe out any wealthy family within a night if they wished. That was how different the wealthy families and ancient houses were."The Langfords, the Fallons, and the Ballards … How could this be? What on earth has happened?" Ezra gaped in terror.He simply could not comprehend how an insignificant co
The company was closed even before the Welch and Swanson families could profit from it. In addition to having a warehouse full of the ointment, the money invested had also gone down the drain because they couldn't sell it.Suddenly, the Welch and Swanson families were in deep waters. On the other hand, the Camron family was in a completely different situation. They had just joined the elite social rank right away because of the support shown by the two ancient houses.Not only were they making money, but they had towered above the most influential families in the city in terms of networking. If this continued, they'd finally be able to join the rank of influential families within three months! By that time, Oakvale would have nine great families!…It was nighttime in the Welch family meeting room. Alistair, the leader of the Welch family, and Barry Swanson, the leader of the Swanson family, were in a discussion. Only a few other core members, like Eleanor and Ezra, were al
"That's enough. There's no point in discussing all these now. Let's redirect our focus on finding a way out of the current situation." Joanne, who had remained silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. She was decisive, swift, and wouldn't give up easily. She would find ways to regain their losses."Obviously, we can no longer sell Rejuvenaid as two ancient houses have spoken." Barry sighed as he looked up and said, "Alistair, you are always full of ideas. "Do you have any ideas how we can recoup some of our losses?""This is too little time for me to think of anything." Alistair looked helpless. If he had any ideas, he wouldn't be worrying right now."Dad! I might have an idea!" Eleanor suddenly had a thought and spoke up."Really? What is it? Tell me." Alistair was immediately intrigued. Everyone else turned to look at her and was ready to listen to her idea."Dad, we got the formula for Rejuvenaid from Dustin. Do you think he may have other similar formulas?" Eleanor said a
Dustin, Lana, Bo, and others gathered around the table to drink and chit-chat.Their new company had just launched, and they had already profited quite a lot. It was the perfect end to their day. They decided to celebrate their success at the Regal Court after a busy day."Hahaha, what an amazing day! That bitch couple, Ezra and Eleanor, finally failed for once! I can't help but laugh whenever I remember their faces when they lost." Bo laughed loudly with his glass raised.He always disliked Eleanor and Ezra. They even went to threaten his sister at her place a few days ago. He finally got his revenge today."This is all thanks to Mr. Dawson's social network. You managed to invite the Fallon family and the Ballard family today. If not, we wouldn't be this successful!" Lana raised her glass with a smile."Hold on …" Bo was taken aback and frantically said, "I thought the Camrons invited the ancient houses? How is the Dawson family involved?""What?" Lana's face froze. "Mr. Dawson,
