Chapter 267

Auteur: Edelweiss W.S.
My employees stared at the mountain of fine food on our table, their expressions wavering between awe and discomfort. I waved them off and downed my wine in a single swallow.

"I dreamed of starting my own business back in university," I said. "But instead, I spent ten years as a firefighter. If it weren't for all of you, I'd never have this chance."

I lifted my glass again. "This is for you—because you're worth it. Thank you!"

I refilled my cup and emptied it once more. My employees' eyes glistened. Moved, they raised their glasses and drank deeply.

"A toast to Mr. Grimwald!"

"A toast to Sleeping Giant!"

"One day, we'll awaken and rule all of Astergrad!"

The mood soared. Passion buzzed in the air.

I looked at my employees, and for the first time in years, every sip tasted like freedom. This was the life I had always wanted. This moment marked my escape from Hera.

The feast began in earnest. Joy loosened my restraint, and I drank a little too much.

Jeanine noticed. "Mr. Grimwa

    "My doctor friend gave me clear instructions. Once the paste goes on your face, you can't let even the slightest breeze touch it. If you slip up, it will leave marks. So the choice is yours." My tone stayed flat, yet it startled Anna enough to make her stiffen."I'll go in." Irritation colored her voice, but for the sake of her face, she stepped inside and shut the door."Come closer." I dipped my fingers into the paste and gestured for her to move in.…Anna stayed silent. A trace of resistance lingered, yet she still leaned forward.The cramped room lacked ventilation. She felt Sebastian's breath, and the closeness made her uneasy.When the cool paste touched her skin, a refreshing chill spread across her face. Even her irritation eased."This medicine actually works?" Her eyes widened. "It stopped hurting the moment you put it on."…"Of course. You think any ordinary doctor can make ointment like this?"With her this close, I caught the faint scent on her. Up close, I saw

    "Yes," I replied. "Your condition is not serious. Once this is applied, the pain will ease soon."I nodded and raised the herbal paste to Anna's face. She still pulled back a little. After she leaned in, smelled it, and realized it carried no strange odor, the tight frown between her brows eased."All right then. Give me the paste. Do I put it on like a face mask?" she asked.I shook my head. "No. You need massage to make it work. I'll apply it for you."If it worked like a simple mask, someone would have mass-produced it already.Anna's brows tightened again the moment she heard I would touch her face. "You? Touch my face?"The words had barely left her lips when all her bodyguards stepped forward, eyes sharp as they glared at me.Anna had a serious cleanliness obsession. Forget letting me spread this earthy paste on her. She would reject another woman as well. She lived alone and spent her days working only with flawless gemstones, which explained why she had never taken a par

    Metis seemed to recall something and began chuckling to herself. "I will be making some requests at our dinner. I expect you to fulfill them.""Yes, I know. Please just tell me what to do now!" I urged frantically.I did not worry about the nature of her request. I trusted that she would never harm me, and that was good enough."Locate the best store in the city with the highest-quality materials," she said before ending the call.I turned to Winston and Anna. "The treatment direction is coming. You should visit the best Revarian medicinal store while we wait. Mr. Hill, pick the one with the best quality.""Understood," he said with a firm nod.Anna looked reluctant. She grabbed my wrist and muttered, "Asking me to leave? Not happening. Get Mr. Hill to make the purchase. You and I will stay here."I hesitated. But what difference would it make if Winston went alone?"Fine. I will stay."Winston nodded. "Thank you."He hurried out of the store. Ten minutes later, he reached hi

    Had Sebastian demanded half the shares of her jewelry business or her family's assets, Anna would not have believed him. She would even suspect an elaborate setup that targeted her family fortune as the true prize.It seemed to her that Sebastian only offered his company as an assurance for the treatment.Anna let out a relieved sigh and lowered her guard. "Alright. I will bite this time.""Thank you for giving us a chance to make things right, Miss Shepard," I replied, then snapped several pictures and sent them to Metis.The young woman responded at once with a single question mark, so I called her.She picked up before the second beep."Metis, I need help!"Her cool voice held a curious edge. "What now?""It's our drug. A wealthy young heiress developed a terrible skin condition on her face after taking our med. The pictures I sent show everything. Do you know how to treat it? I need an answer fast.""Which drug?" Metis asked, puzzled. "The two formulae I gave you?""Yes!"

    "I know. I did not expect this at all. These drugs have been on the market for a while and nothing like this has ever happened," Winston replied. "I've already sent my people to survey other consumers. No one has reported any problems… Nothing close to this."Despite the trouble closing in on him, Winston trusted his business partner enough to avoid placing blame."This feels suspicious. But for now, we should focus on helping her recover before her rage spreads like wildfire. I have a friend who's a renowned medical genius. She should be able to help," I said with a weary sigh.The investigation would have to wait. Right now, I needed Metis, my trump card.I approached Anna. One look at her face made my skin crawl."Good day, Miss Shepard. I'm the man in charge of these drugs. My name is Sebastian Grimwald, from Astergrad. I'm deeply sorry for the condition of your face," I said politely. "I know this is a lot to ask, but please allow me to take a photo."Anna looked mortified.

    We headed to the pharmacy, where trouble was already brewing. It belonged to one of the city's better-known franchises, so the commotion had drawn a sizable crowd.…Winston was already there, his hair damp with sweat as he tried to reason with an angry customer. Behind him, the employees stood in a tight line with their heads lowered.The woman arguing with him had an elegant figure in her expensive dress, though her face was another story. Severe inflammation had distorted her features. Abscesses mottled her skin, some of them leaking pus.Most women would struggle to tolerate damage like this to their faces. A wealthy woman even less so.She was shrieking, her voice shaking. "Explain this to me, Winston Hill, or this pharmacy is finished! You and your company are not getting away with this. I don't care how big your business is."Her bodyguards stepped forward and glared at Winston and his staff."If nobody can fix my face, then nobody is fixing your reputation or business af
