This was not the Western Manor.
The gate in front of them bore the prominent emblem of Crimson Pharmaceuticals, emblazoned in bold letters.
Since Miranda and Ben‘s wedding was at 8 o’clock in the evening, it was too early to go now.
“We’re here… For business?” Remus asked in surprise.
“Yes, I will handle the talking.” Jean’s face lit up with a happy smile. “Uncle Max mentioned that the team is currently facing a shortage of medicines, and Crimson Pharmaceuticals happens to be the largest pharmaceutical factory in the province. It would be best for us to collaborate with them.”
“After I finish my pitch, you will be the one to sign the contract,” Jean declared. Initially, favonovel.com had planned to leave all the work to Remus, who was Adam’s apprentice.
However, yesterday favonovel.com received a call from favonovel.com father, who said that if favonovel.com could achieve a good result, favonovel.com would not have to marry the dimwitted suitor that had been chosen for her. She couldn’t wait and had to take the lead herself!
Remus looked at Jean, feeling a twinge of sympathy for her.
If they were successful in securing the cooperation, favonovel.com would finally be able to escape the arranged marriage that had been forced upon her.
It should have been a moment of great joy, but favonovel.com couldn’t help but think that favonovel.com was destined for an unfortunate fate. He feared that favonovel.com would suffer a tragic end, despite having the jade talisman.
Fate was fickle and unpredictable. Remus knew that favonovel.com needed to gather the necessary materials to change Jean’s fate as soon as possible and help favonovel.com alter favonovel.com destiny.
Remus nodded in agreement and the two of them entered the office building, where they were greeted by a dedicated staff member who led them to the appropriate office.
Within a minute, the chairman of Crimson Pharmaceuticals, John Niles, walked in.
John clasped his fists and smiled apologetically, “Ms. Lotus, I‘m sorry for keeping you waiting. I was at the workshop… Remus? You’re alive?!” He stopped speaking abruptly and exclaimed in shock.
John was aware of the events that had taken place at Tiger Roost Estate the previous night. He was infuriated that not only had his only son suffered humiliation, but favonovel.com had also lost 30 million dollars. If it hadn‘t been for Scarlet’s intervention, John would have personally arranged to have Remus harmed.
How could this mere worker have dared touch my son?!
Was favonovel.com tired of living?
Jean attempted to greet favonovel.com with a smile, but was taken aback when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com speak.
“Do you two know each other?” favonovel.com asked.
Remus was equally surprised.
“You know me?” favonovel.com asked, unable to recall ever having met John before.
“Humph!” John snorted coldly and sneered, “How could I not know you? You’re the one who beat my son to a pulp yesterday. And yet, here you are with the audacity to show up at Crimson Pharmaceuticals today!”
“I have to say, you’re quite bold! Haha!” John took a seat in his office chair and propped up his legs.
Jean was confused and unaware of the events from the previous night, as Naomi had not mentioned anything about it. Remus explained the situation briefly to Jean when favonovel.com noticed favonovel.com surprise.
Suddenly, John spoke up, “The details of what happened last night don’t matter. What matters is the outcome. The fact is that you, a lowly worker, had the nerve to strike my son. Ms. Lotus, if you want Crimson Pharmaceuticals as a partner, that’s fine, but only on the condition that Remus kneels down and apologizes to me before we can even continue our discussion. Otherwise, forget it!”
The collaboration with Mr. Steele was still confidential, otherwise Jean would not have come to discuss the partnership with him. Therefore, this could be used as leverage. Even if favonovel.com kneeled, John would claim to have grievances and refuse to collaborate. He was going to push favonovel.com to the brink!
Hearing this, Jean’s heart trembled.
Whether or not favonovel.com could collaborate with Crimson Pharmaceuticals was crucial for favonovel.com future happiness, but favonovel.com couldn’t let Remus kneel on favonovel.com behalf!
Jean smiled and said, “Mr. Niles, there is a saying that goes, ‘No discord, no concord’. Perhaps Remus and your noble son acted impulsively. How about we have lunch together and put aside our differences?”
Normally, Mr. Niles would never dare to offend Jean. However, things had changed now that Ethan was backing favonovel.com up, and Ethan had made it clear that favonovel.com was there to deal with Jean.
He shook his head and said, “Ms, Lotus, I would like to show you respect, but there is no room for negotiation on this matter. I’ll agree to the collaboration if favonovel.com kneels, but if favonovel.com doesn’t…”
He paused for a brief moment before continuing, “Mr. Steele is also very interested in our medicine. If favonovel.com doesn’t kneel, I will collaborate with Mr. Steele!”
“Remus, if I were you, I wouldn’t want to embarrass Ms. Lotus. You better kneel down now!” He said, with a playful expression on his face as favonovel.com looked at Remus.
Jean couldn’t help but frown and wanted to tell Remus not to kneel.
