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 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 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 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 40: Under the spotlight
Under the spotlight and with all eyes on him, Caleb couldn't stall any longer. With Alistair nowhere to be found, he needed to make a decision now. So, with no other choice, he reluctantly signaled for Jacob to proceed with his earlier proposal. Seeing this, Jacob excitedly straightened his clothes.Then, he took up the microphone and announced. “Although Orion Corp's beauty rejuvenation cream and cardiovascular miracle drugs have shown remarkable effects, we have decided to officially partner with Connor Group.”The moment he said this, Sara and Tristan, both of whom were seated in the audience, burst into delight. “We did it!” Sara exclaimed as she turned to Tristan.“We did!” Tristan said while celebrating inwardly that his plan had worked perfectly.Back on stage, Jacob immediately added. “Please can Miss Sara Connor and Mister Tristan Cole come on stage so we can begin the signing ceremony?” The moment Jacob finished saying that, neither Sara nor Tristan hesitated, as they b
Chapter 39: Faced with a dilemma
Faced with the beauty cream of the Connor Group and the beauty rejuvenation cream and cardiovascular miracle drugs of Orion Corp, Caleb Bolton and his son Donald, found themselves unable to make a decision.As senior executives of Bolton Group, they were to decide the winner of the pharmaceutical investment conference held in Grandness Hall. Unfortunately, that was easier said than done. Since Alistair had not arrived, Caleb found it difficult to decide on his own. Naturally displeased by this, he turned to Donald who stood beside him, a deep frown etched on his face.“Didn't I tell you to send someone to pick up Sir Reid? So why aren't they here yet?”Donald flashed a helpless smile as he replied. “I did as you said, Father, but a car accident happened on the road leading here, so Sir Reid is currently trapped in traffic with the vehicle.” Then, he quickly added. “But he should be arriving in another ten minutes or so, so you don't have to worry.”Caleb massaged his temples as he
