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
Chapter 38: Grandness Hall
“How much should we offer the Bolton family?” Cecilia calmly asked Alistair. Though she understood now that Alistair held the Bolton family in high regard and wanted to compensate them handsomely, she couldn't judge the proper extent of the profit-sharing he had in mind. Alistair replied. “You can be generous with that—no need to be stingy.” On hearing this, Cecilia nodded understanding.It seemed Alistair's attitude towards the Bolton family was quite favorable.Clearly, they had made quite a good impression on him. Alistair was never one to skim on things when he wished to reward those that did good.Anyway, taking a moment to ponder, Cecilia proposed. “Given the extraordinary value of the formulas you gave me, I believe a 70-30 split in the partnership structure would suffice. The Bolton family could take 70, which should amount to at least 100 trillion in net annual revenue.”“Alright then, that's fine.” Alistair nodded indifferently. The two discussed the figure as casually
Chapter 37: Three miracle formulas
Alistair understood the reason for Cecilia's shock.Heavenly martial arts were rare to begin with, so the Bolton's, a family with no knowledge of the supernatural, getting their hands on one was truly incredible.He was also curious about how Caleb Bolton managed to get such a piece.“I guess you can say the Boltons were just lucky,” Alistair casually remarked. Cecilia nodded. “That's a great deal of luck if you ask me.”Alistair chuckled. “Anyway, I plan to compensate them for the heavenly martial art.”As he spoke, he casually took out three formula sheets and handed them to Cecilia.Taking them, Cecilia quickly scanned through them.The first sheet had a beauty and rejuvenation formula written on it, remarkably effective against most types of blemishes and scars with no side effects. “Oh wow.” Cecilia instinctively muttered.Only someone like her brother could bring out something like this so casually.A formula like this would be worth billions if found at an auction. Major pow
Chapter 36: When boundaries blur
The first photo showed Sara and Tristan holding hands, looking intimate.Another showed the two walking together on the beach.As Alistair scrolled through the photos on Cecilia's phone, the images only grew more ludicrous.Judging from the timestamps, these photos were taken two years ago.If Alistair remembered correctly, Sara had told him she was traveling to a neighboring country across the sea for a business deal. He'd known she was lying when she told him, but to think it would be to this extent.Alistair shook his head in disappointment. Thinking back, when she had returned from the trip, Alistair had discovered several unopened boxes of ovulation kits while helping her unpack her boxes. At the time, Sara was already noticeably colder towards him, than she had been during the first two years of their marriage. Back then, Alistair assumed she bought the kits to get closer to him. But after several fights and arguments, he realized something was off. Now, thinking about it,
