Matthew scowled as favonovel.com was aware of the implication beneath Daniel’s words.
“Of course, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals developed the medicine with our own resources!” Sasha replied immediately.
Daniel nodded, but favonovel.com added, ‘However, I heard rumors that the Restoration Pill was developed by Neverland Pharmaceuticals from Stonedale. Furthermore, they’re applying for a patent. For now, it’ll be illegal for any company to manufacture the pill or become an agent without authorization. As a result, the violators will face a sky-high fine.”
The dealers nodded in agreement. One of them even croaked, “President Larson, we are all trying to make a living here. We don’t need unnecessary trouble!”
“The Neverland Pharmaceuticals already made an announcement about the Restoration Pill. Besides, they’ve declared that if others sell the pills without authorization, they’ll sue the dealers immediately.”
“It‘s the biggest pharmaceutical company in Stonedale. Moreover, the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale have their back, we are ordinary businessmen, we don‘t want to go against them!”
Matthew’s face turned cold as favonovel.com scowled.
‘I found the secret method of making the Restoration Pill in the jade pendant. Nobody was supposed to know it. How did Neverland Pharmaceuticals get the recipe? They even make the Restoration Pill from it! How is it possible? Besides, they’re even emboldened enough to apply for the patent. Thoughts were running through his mind as favonovel.com pondered. Things are not adding up. There must be more to this than meets the eye!’
Sasha’s expression changed at the dealer’s words. “It’s… It’s impossible! We are indeed the rightful owner of the Restoration Pill! What does Neverland Pharmaceuticals have to do with this?”
Daniel spoke softly, ”President Cunningham, I’ll not assume the identity of the medicine’s developer. However, we need to save ourselves first when the ownership of the Restoration Pill is uncertain. We’re not pressuring you, and we just want an explanation. After all, we’re the victim of your business operations. Do you still think we shall pay the liquidated damages to you?”
Sasha was at a loss for favonovel.com words as his statements were plausible.
Matthew stared at him. “You said you aren’t assuming anything. Then, why are you assuming we will need to pay the liquidated damages to you?”
Daniel’s expression sank when Matthew shot questions back at him. He remained silent in the face of those words before favonovel.com replied lowly, “President Larson. we’ll pay the compensation if your company can prove your ownership of the medicine, but what if you can’t prove it? How shall we deal with these things?”
“We’ll initiate an investigation regarding this matter?” Matthew replied.
One of the dealers fretted. “There’s no time left! Neverland Pharmaceuticals is going to sue us! We’ll all be doomed that time by waiting for the results of your investigation. President Larson, you are a successful man who isn‘t afraid of losing anything. Nonetheless, we, dealers, are only ordinary businessmen! We can’t bear to lose anything.”
Matthew answered, “We don’t need you for that! If you trust me, the contract will continue to be effective. If you do not believe me, you can terminate the contract at any time. I promise you. We’ll not ask for any compensation from you. Regardless, Cunningham Phannaceuticals isn’t paying you, either. After all, you are all making this decision based on the assumption that we stole the recipe from Neverland Pharmaceuticals.”
At first, the dealers turned to observe others‘ responses. They all nodded eventually when they saw Daniel agreeing to that suggestion and said softly, “Sure, President Larson. We’ll make do with your suggestion. We’ll terminate the contract regardless of the penalty.”
