Semua Bab Rising from the Ashes: Bab 621 - Bab 630

Aspen lay in bed, her eyes glistening with tears, her gaze blank as she said nothing. Meanwhile, Irene and Leroy stood outside the room, peeking in. Irene asked, "Leroy, do you think Aspen's brain was messed up from the hits? She hasn't said a word since she woke up." "Mom, you're overthinking. Aspen just got a few slaps, probably just a concussion. Nothing too serious." The mother and son did not notice their raised voices as they continued to discuss. Christina glanced at them and coldly said, "Mom, Leroy, if you're done, why don't you go do something else? Aspen's in a bad mood, so please, no more of your sarcastic comments." Irene gave a dry laugh and said, "Christie, if Aspen is awake, can she let me know when she will pay me back the money I invested in her?" Christina frowned and said, "Mom, you know that money is gone. Why are you still asking Aspen for it?" Irene pouted, looking displeased. "It's lost, sure, but that's Aspen's loss, not mine. She can't just bully

Aspen raised her hand to interrupt, "Christie, I know what you're worried about, but let me tell you, there's no need to be afraid. These three formulas have been market-tested, and once we produce them, they'll definitely sell big. "Even if we don't achieve huge sales, it will still be a win for Stevens Corporation. Because you won't need any R&D costs or any time spent, you can just jump straight into the industry. I'm sure you can calculate how much money and time we'll save." Christina was immediately intrigued. As Aspen had said, with three ready-made formulas, Stevens Corporation could just buy the machinery, set up a factory, and start producing. The most difficult and intimidating part of the pharmaceutical industry—research and development—would be skipped entirely. Stevens Corporation could save potentially billions of dollars by bypassing this process. "Aspen, I could have Stevens Corporation start working on it as soon as tomorrow. But I need to ask you again: are t

Andrew wondered if Francesca still remembered that he had helped her with his hands. He felt a little guilty. He had been in the wrong yesterday. Francesca blushed, hesitating as she said, "Actually, I… I remembered most of it. My body was out of control at the time, but my mind was very clear." Andrew cautiously asked, "Do you remember how I saved you in the end?" He hoped that Francesca did not remember that part. If she did, he would be embarrassed beyond measure. Francesca bit her lip, clearly embarrassed. After a long pause, she murmured, "I remember everything in bits and pieces. It's all kind of fragmented. But the moment when you saved me… I remember that the clearest." Andrew gave a dry laugh, realizing he was at a loss for words. The one thing he had hoped she would not remember was the part she recalled the most vividly. 'It's as if it was all fate,' he thought. "Andrew, don't feel guilty. I know you were only trying to save me, even if you had to resort to tha

Marcus said, "Right now, we only have a few samples. If we try to compete with Michael using just these, it won't be convincing at all!" Andrew nodded. "That makes sense. Then let's go to the factory and get a batch of both miracle drugs produced. We'll release them into the market and see how they perform!" Marcus remarked darkly, "Speaking of this, Mr. Lloyd, you might not know. Michael has already made arrangements with our suppliers on the manufacturing side." Andrew sneered. "What kind of dirty tricks is that trash pulling behind the scenes now?" Marcus gritted his teeth. "The suppliers are all leaning toward Michael. They've agreed to work with him exclusively. I've been to them a few times now, and each time, they came up with some excuse to delay. Finally, they just flat out told me they'll only cooperate with Michael." Andrew remained calm. "Good medicine is rare, but there are plenty of factories. Don't worry, we'll find another partner." At the moment, Lauren was

One of the men said, "Marcus, you're the head of Rhodes Corporation's Pharmaceutical Division, and we're giving you face today. Hurry up and take this fool and get out of here. We at Glorious Pharmaceuticals won't entertain trash like this!" Laughing, the employees of Glorious Pharmaceuticals, including the security guard, were all enjoying the moment. They acted as though they had won something, looking at Andrew like he was nothing. Marcus gritted his teeth and said, "Kenneth, we may not have gotten the visit we wanted, but we still have our dignity. Are you really planning to cut ties with Rhodes Corporation's Pharmaceutical Division over this?" Kenneth sneered. "Marcus, don't get ahead of yourself. Right now, Mr. Brunner has already secured a big deal. The mysterious VIP guest is negotiating with him as we speak. Rhodes Corporation? Maybe they were relevant in the past, but now? We at Glorious Pharmaceuticals don't owe you anything." Marcus looked at Andrew and muttered, "M
