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 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

    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

    “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
