Ch 30: An Extraordinary Formula?
Bella tensed up. Her breath caught in her throat, as if the air had frozen solid in an instant. Her mind raced, searching for what to say to Chloe."Come on, Bella. Didn’t you say yourself that this formula is something special?" Martha cut in, her smirk still playing at the corner of her mouth.Martha’s voice grated on her ears. Her feelings of worry mixed with frustration were becoming impossible to hold back."What am I supposed to do? No—could this be the end of my career?" Bella whispered to herself.Several executives began speaking up. Like Chloe, they were deeply concerned. Some demanded to see the formula, while others scolded Bella for not taking this matter seriously.A few employees—especially from the R&D team—looked curious too. Despite the earlier tension between Bella and Martha, some held a glimmer of hope about what Martha had said regarding the formula."Don’t joke around, Bella. You’re the marketing manager—you know how serious this situation is. Give me the formul
Ch 29: Chloe Pirette’s Fury
Bella was horrified. She quickly dropped to her knees and pushed Martha’s foot away from the paper.At that moment, Martha smirked, seeming pleased with what she’d done.Bella immediately picked up the paper with a worried look on her face. Thankfully, even though it was crumpled and torn, the writing was still mostly legible."You... you!" Bella looked up and glared sharply at Martha. She was about to slap her, but stopped when the woman everyone had been waiting for finally entered the conference room."What do you think you’re doing?"The elegant, beautiful woman with curly hair walked into the room. Her gaze was sharp and determined, and her rose-colored lips gave off an aura that filled every corner of the space. She was CEO Chloe Pirette.Several executives who’d been busy with their own matters—paying no mind to the tension between Bella and Martha—immediately stood up to greet her. Everyone else followed suit, showing even more respect than they had for the three senior execut
Ch 28: A Fake Formula
The shoulder-length-haired woman shook her head slightly. After that, Bella walked to her seat, feeling a knot of tension in her stomach.Lost in her worry, her thoughts suddenly turned to Leon. She didn’t understand why the man’s face had popped into her mind."Hm... was I too hard on him? What if he realizes I’ve been avoiding him? What if he won’t meet me again?""Hah... come on Bella. Why are you suddenly thinking about him? It’d be better if he just left your life for good. He’s not the Leon you knew—he just looks a little like him. There’s no point in getting your hopes up too high.""You should just focus on Pirette Group’s problems."As she argued with herself inside her head, she suddenly paused, remembering the piece of paper Leon had given her—with a beauty formula written on it."Wait... that formula...."Bella then reached into her bag and pulled out the paper. As she looked at it, she was impressed by how neat Leon’s handwriting was. The formula itself seemed convincing
Ch 27: A Cunning Plan
"What more do you have to say, huh?!" Lewis cut Brandon off again. His brows were furrowed deeply, showing just how angry he was. "If you refuse to do it, fine. But don’t expect to get a single penny of my inheritance!"The words struck Brandon hard in the chest. Rage burned inside him, and he wanted nothing more than to lash out. But now wasn’t the time. He forced himself to hold it back, resolving to rearrange his plans to get rid of the old man in front of him.With Brandon no longer putting up a fight, Lewis slowly turned to Jonathan."Jonathan? You know that ‘genius doctor,’ don’t you?"Doctor Liam narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard his nickname used by someone else—right in front of him. His ears felt hot, and he was seething inside, as if his pride had been trampled on."Um... you could say that. But I’m not sure—what I mean is, I only happened to meet him by chance."Lewis let out a sigh. Suddenly he felt dizzy, and his body swayed. Jonathan reacted immediately."Uncle L
Ch 26: A Hard Slap
"Mr. Leon?" he murmured, before finally refocusing on the bed.Elly, crying tears of relief, immediately ran to Lewis to check on her father’s condition. Meanwhile, Medona—hearing that all-too-familiar cough—suddenly seemed to regain her awareness and strength."Dad?!" she called out.She looked deeply worried seeing the darkish blood that had stained the area around Lewis’s lips and shirt collar. Even so, there was joy in her heart to find that he’d woken up.Medona then struggled to free herself from Jonathan’s hold. She asked him to help her stand, and once he did, the woman hurried forward, sobbing hysterically with joy as she approached Lewis."My husband!" Medona cried out. This time her face looked slightly flushed and bright—completely different from how pale and worn out she’d been before.She immediately hugged the still-reclining Lewis tightly, then kissed his cheek over and over with great enthusiasm.Brandon and Doctor Liam stood silent as they watched. Brandon especially
Ch 25: You Fraud!
"How dare you make a deal without us!"Brandon roared, striding quickly toward Leon and the others. When he reached them, he roughly swatted away Leon’s hand, nearly knocking the phone from Leon’s grasp. Thankfully, Leon’s reflexes were fast enough to hold on.Brandon then fixed his gaze on Medona, staring intently without blinking. "Mother, don’t trust this loser."His voice was loud enough to echo through the room. For a moment he turned, his brows almost knitted together as he faced Leon."You fraud! Even if you managed to fool that dim-witted Elly, you won’t pull one over on me."Elly’s eyes widened instantly at being spoken to like that. She wanted to cut in and curse her stepbrother, but Brandon had complete control of the moment."Ugh!" Brandon made a spitting sound without actually letting any saliva leave his mouth. "Ten times the pay? Huh. You’re asking for ten times the usual fee? Go shove it up your ass!""Look at this. After you ‘treated’ my father, does he look any bette
