Chapter 123
At Daisy’s words, the faces of those who had hurled insults at her and Hill Group during Bianca Irving’s dinner turned ashen.They glanced at Daisy with nervous caution. She regarded them with a faint, inscrutable smile.Finished.Cold dread raced up from their heels to their crowns.Had they known this moment would come, who would have chosen to cross Daisy then? Offending the Sanders family was one thing—but you do not offend money. And wasn’t money precisely why they’d shown up today?There was no antidote for regret now.Asking others to speak for them was even more futile. They were competitors today; every fewer bidder meant a larger slice for the rest.“Miss Daisy, the Sanders people forced our hand that night. It wasn’t what we truly thought.”The loudest voice from that evening tried to defend himself, thin with guilt. Daisy only smiled and nodded.“I understand your position. That’s why I’ll still select a group to continue working with us.”A murmur of realization rippled t

Kane Taylor, speaking for the Taylor family, fixed Russell Sanders with a cool stare, drew on his cigarette, and exhaled. “You really want him dead?”Russell’s face was all edges and shadow as he nodded.“I’ve wanted him dead for a long time.”“Then kill him. End it.”Patrick Davidson shot Kane a wary look, his composure slipping.“Kill him? If he were that easy, I’d have done it already.”If not for their shared enemy—Adrian—he would never have agreed to work with Russell against Hill Group. And now, after being publicly humiliated again and again, his temper was frayed raw.“I’ve seen him fight. The kid’s no ordinary brawler. Even one of our Davidson family’s retained martial experts ended up bedridden after crossing him.”“If I could kill him, would I still be waiting? My sister’s legs are ruined because of him!”At that, Russell’s expression iced over, the hatred in his eyes spiraling.“And I look like this—all thanks to him.”He practically ground the words out through clenched t

“What did you just say?”Melanie Sanders and Eleanor Davidson were on the verge of tearing into each other before Russell Sanders and Patrick Davidson stepped in, forcing the tension down.“The more they gloat, the less we can afford to fight among ourselves.”Russell’s expression was grave. If this war was to continue, they needed a real strategy—and fast. Once Hill Group’s Snow Beauty Secret hit the market, the tide would be beyond their control.Daisy’s next words, meanwhile, seemed to slice right through their discord.“You’ve already seen our quality and safety certifications. The reason our product has no side effects is simple: it nourishes the skin from within using herbal actives, addressing problems at their root.”Several media outlets had gone live; the chatrooms were even more feverish than the hall itself. As viewer counts surged across platforms, Hill Group’s launch became the hottest story online—crashing threads beneath the weight of a million voices.Snow Beauty Secr

Lorenzo Watson slapped his thigh and let out a chuckle. “I told you—my master never fights a battle he isn’t sure to win!”Henry Hamilton shot Lorenzo a silent sidelong glance. He’d wanted to say the same himself. On second thought, though, in a setting like this, all he needed to do was watch.Vincent Wallace had known from the start how formidable Adrian’s formula was, but seeing it made into a real product shook him anew.“Dr. Doyle, indeed!”He could find no words grand enough for what he felt. What woman doesn’t love beauty? What woman can say no to becoming more beautiful?He was all but certain now: every problem facing Hill Group would unravel with ease.On stage, agreements and indemnities were already forgotten.Nothing seduces like visible beauty.“This feels like a dream—can it be real?”“Same here! I’ve had injections at the clinic, and they didn’t do this!”“I regret every tweak I ever got. I could have become beautiful the natural way!”It wasn’t just the girls who’d t

Melanie Sanders recovered first, the disdain on her face unmistakable.“Don’t blame me for underestimating you, but it’s best not to trot out cheap parlor tricks here—no need to make a scene you can’t clean up.”“Miss Sanders, are you suggesting I intend to deceive consumers—or the officials and guests present today?”A ripple of whispers broke out. A live efficacy test? That was explosive.“Miss Daisy doesn’t look like she’s joking, but… how could this be possible?”“Hard to say. There are three renowned physicians here and President Emerson—nothing would slip past them.”“I’m starting to think it’s real. Mayor Adams and Commander Hamilton are here too. If they fake anything, they’re digging their own grave.”The murmur from the floor grew. Daisy heard the gist of it, yet her expression didn’t flicker.That calm made people waver. This wasn’t a performance anyone could fake.This was true confidence.“If you’re still uneasy, Miss Sanders, you can join as a product tester.”“Are you s

Cold sweat slicked the backs of Russell Sanders and his companions. This was a blatant, glaring callout.What caliber of people were these? Skyline City’s top leaders—number one and number two—figures from both business and politics. How were they supposed to fight that?Patrick Davidson was stunned as well. He refused to believe that a mere Hill family, a mere Hill Group, could command such favor.And then, in the next moment, it made a terrible kind of sense.Mayor of Adams, Henry Hamilton, and Finn Thompson went down the line, shaking Adrian’s hand, exchanging cordial greetings.Were they all here for Adrian’s sake?Each person nursed a different thought, but none of them could shake the same question: why?Adrian was just a junior employee at Hill Group.Even if he enjoyed a bit of fame as a so-called “miracle doctor,” for all they knew he was a charlatan conjuring tricks.Patrick Davidson was at a loss for words. Even now, watching Adrian, loathing him as he did, he couldn’t help
