Chapter 41: Out of my way
Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Tristan wasn't truly afraid, though he had originally felt a jolt of panic upon seeing Alistair. After all, the collaboration with the Bolton family was crucial to the Connor Group—and more importantly, to Sara, who considered it a lifeline. Would Alistair really dare to ruin this deal between the Connor Group and the Bolton family? Impossible! He wouldn't dare.Tristan was certain that Alistair wouldn't embarrass Sara in public.That was exactly why he had quietly nudged Sara into suggesting that he—Tristan—appear as the ‘developer’ of the beauty cream in Alistair's place. With that in mind, Tristan straightened up with renewed confidence and even shot Alistair a mocking smile. What can you do? As long as Sara is here, you can only watch me take your place! He thought inwardly. Meanwhile, Sara, with a deep frown etched on her face, stepped down from the stage and quickly walked up to Alistair to confront him.“What are you doing here?” She aske
Chapter 42: A harmful product
The discussion about who truly developed the beauty cream led to more facts about Sara and Alistair being dug up.Then, people began to find out that Sara and Alistair were actually married, and surprisingly, Alistair was a stay-at-home husband. At this point, even more questions began to pop up.Did Alistair really create such an amazing product? If that were true, that was already an incredible story for the tabloids.And the fact that Tristan actually claimed credit for Alistair's work… didn't that mean that Sara and Tristan were… involved?Holy hell! The hall buzzed with whispers as journalists at this point were literally frothing at the mouth at the amount of jaw-dropping news they'd managed to uncover.Meanwhile, Sara's face flushed bright red with embarrassment upon hearing the crowd's speculation.Biting down on her lip, she hurriedly grabbed Alistair's arm and whispered. “Alistair, enough with this, please, don't make a scene. If you are dissatisfied with anything, can't
Chapter 43: Just a formula
Alistair's words sent shockwaves throughout the entire venue.But Alistair didn't care what anyone thought. Instead, after speaking, he turned to Caleb and Donald. “The Bolton Group's testing team is here today, right?” The Bolton father and son—already drowning in regret—quickly nodded.Alistair then snatched the beauty cream from Tristan's hand and handed it to Donald. “Give this to your testing team. Let them verify what I just said.”Donald immediately complied, summoning the head of the testing team and sending the cream for analysis exactly as Alistair instructed.At a time like this, it was imperative not to make another mistake that could offend Alistair. In any case, once the cream was taken away for testing, Alistair looked back at Tristan, sneering coldly. “Surprised? This beauty cream was flawed from the very beginning.”Tristan stayed silent as he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.His whole body trembled uncontrollably as he glared at Alist
Chapter 44: Thick-skinned
Alistair's words were fierce and stung Sara deeply.How could he speak like that to her?Gritting her teeth, she tried to refute him, unwilling to accept that she was at fault. However, Alistair coldly remarked. “Also, I'm not doing this out of selfishness, I'm doing it for the tens of thousands of consumers out there! As the creator of this cream, I will never allow innocent consumers to end up covered in black spots, with damaged livers and kidneys, because of a defective product.”His words echoed through the hall—sharp, powerful, unwavering.For several seconds, the entirety of Grandness Hall was engulfed in silence. But then, a thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Almost every guest and reporter turned to Alistair with admiration and respect. Even though the test results were not out yet, if Alistair truly was the creator of the cream, then exposing its flaws publicly—for the same of consumer safety—was an act worthy of the highest praise.After all, everyone had se
Chapter 45: Shameless beyond belief
Unable to see the mockery in Alistair's eyes, Sara remarked. “Tristan studied biopharmaceuticals in college and is currently the acting deputy director of the Connor Group R&D department. You know how desperate I've been to secure the contract with the Bolton family and… I tried to reach you but I couldn't, so I felt you never really cared about the patent rights anyway. That's why I suggested Tristan stand in for you.” She sounded quite self-righteous, making it seem like she acted in Alistair's best interest. Naturally, no one was falling for that, especially not after everything she'd said before now. “I did this so we could secure the partnership with the Bolton family smoothly and Tristan could make a name for himself and help his future career,” Sara remarked. “I honestly had no ill intent.”Then, before anyone could say anything, she questioned. “So I don't understand why you have to keep clinging to this issue. You are even refusing to let Tristan go… Come on, Alistair, don
