Nora

Chapter 61:.

Justin looked at her, only to see that the young woman, after answering him, had no intention of picking up her cell phone and showing him a picture.

“…”

For some reason, he felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Melissa, who was standing next to him, said, “You’re asking about Cherry? I have pictures of her too! I’ve even taken videos.”

After talking, he grabbed his cell phone. Just as she was about to show Justin a picture, Nora subtly stopped her and said, “Aunt Melissa, things don’t look good for Uncle Simon over there.”

Indeed, she successfully distracted Melissa. She turned to see that Simon and the other party were beginning to argue quietly.

She smiled apologetically at Justin and quickly walked over.noveldrama

Justin, “…”

He couldn’t help but feel that she had done it on purpose just so he couldn’t see the pictures.

Wasn’t she just his daughter? He had already shown her his son, so what was there for her to be so secretive about?

A cold expression appeared on his countenance.

When he saw that Nora was also nodding at him and approaching Simon, he suddenly indicated to Sean, “Investigate his daughter; surely she’s not so ugly that she shouldn’t be seen in public, is she?”

Since she refused to show him her daughter, then he would find out what she looked like, no matter what!

Justin was obviously upset after saying that. If it had been any other time, he would have already turned around and walked away. This time, however, he actually followed them.

Sean: “…”

By the time Nora approached, Simon already had a horrible expression on his face. The other party was a man in his 40s or 50s, and he spoke in a hurtful manner.

“… Simon, it is only because of the friendship between our families that I have done business with the Andersons out of kindness all these years.

“Times move on; the medicines produced by the Andersons cannot compare with those of the Myers now. Surely you can’t always rely on friendships when it comes to doing business.”

Melissa clenched her fists. She turned to Nora and said in disgust, “That’s the vice dean of the traditional medicine ward. His last name is Lucas. All the drug formulas at Harmonia Pharmacy have been improved by his mother, So they’ve always been very effective!”

“They used to beg us to sell them our products, and the business dealings between the two of us have always had arms-length transactions. How did they come to ‘do business with the Andersons out of kindness’?”

Simon took a deep breath and said kindly, “I agree with your request to end our collaboration because you have found another supplier. However, the batch of pills you custom ordered has already been fully manufactured. After signing the contract, surely you have to follow the contractual terms, don’t you?”.

Vice Dean Lucas replied with a smile, “Let’s do this instead; I know you are in a hurry lately. We’ll buy the batch of pills at a 60% discount – how’s that sound?”

Simon’s grip on his champagne glass tightened intensely as he did his best to suppress his anger. “Sixty percent off? We’ve always given you a low price. Clearly you kick us when we’re down.”

Vice Dean Lucas patted Simon on the shoulder and said, “That’s exactly what I mean, Simon. If you agree, we’ll help you this time and at least give you a little benefit. However, what I’ve heard is that everyone else has returned their merchandise. Besides, Harmonia Pharmacy has hardly any customers and its reputation is already at rock bottom.”

There was hidden sarcasm in his words.

“You…!” Simon was outraged.

The man adopted a nonchalant attitude, as if nothing mattered. “In any case, think it over. Will you keep the pills and let them expire, or will you sell them to me at a low price…?”

He had just said that when a voice came from beside him. “A 60% discount is too high, how about a 20% discount instead?”

As soon as the person said that, the few turned and saw Sheena.

Her husband was a well-known internal medicine physician.

Upon seeing her, both Simon’s and Melissa’s eyes reddened slightly and they felt a warm feeling well up in their hearts. Simon called out, “Sheena.”

Sheena ignored him. Instead, she smiled at Vice Dean Lucas and said, “A 60% discount is too much for us! But if it’s a 20% discount, the loss is within an acceptable range.”

Then, he leaned over to him and said, “When we close the deal, I’ll buy you dinner, old friend!”.

A lascivious look appeared in Vice Dean Lucas’ eyes at the sight of Sheena. He took her hand and stroked the back of it.

Sheena felt a surge of disgust, but nevertheless tolerated it until Vice Dean Lucas said, “You can forget about selling your drugs now. Mr. Myers has already made it known that he will not sell your drugs to anyone who buys from the Andersons. You must understand that he has in his possession a Rest Pill; that is something that can save someone’s life! Who would dare go against him? I’m the only one who can afford to buy his drugs now at a 60% discount.”

Sheena tried to pull her hand away, but Vice Dean Lucas grabbed her hand again. He said, “Nana, how about we go to the balcony over there and have a chat.”

Vice Dean Lucas and Sheena were classmates at the university and he had always been attracted to her.

However, Sheena found him too ugly and had rejected him several times.

At that moment, when she heard his suggestive words, she almost choked. She said, “We’d better talk here.”

Vice Dean Lucas patted her palm and said, “There are too many people here, so we’d better go over there. I can with a 30% discount…. Don’t make a scene; the Andersons are already in the doldrums. If they embarrass themselves again at a conference like this, then they will no longer be able to hold their heads high in the future…”

Sheena wanted to pull her hand away, but Vice Dean Lucas held her hand tightly and gave her a warning look.

Then, his hand began to stray to Sheena’s butt….

Sheena was very angry and embarrassed.

When they were young, Harmonia Pharmacy had been sought after by everyone. At school, many prominent young men had courted her, but she had ignored them all.

But since her older sister’s departure, the Andersons had fallen into decline, and she had had to maintain an obsequious smile even when she didn’t want to, to keep the business going.

And now, even a mere Vice Dean Lucas had the guts to grope her!

This reminded her of the time when she was still in high school….

A group of girls had been jealous of her because she was rich and pretty. They attacked her in the bathroom, but she didn’t dare defend herself. It was her older sister who suddenly rushed in, small and thin with a broom in her hand, and began to beat them indiscriminately.

Then, with raised chin, she had lectured her. “What is there to be afraid of? You can only stand up to evil people like them by being even more ruthless than they are.”

… If sister was still here, how could they possibly have ended up like this?

Sheena clenched her fist tightly. She was about to shove Vice Dean Lucas when she suddenly felt herself freeze.

She turned to see that the young woman who bore a 70% resemblance to her sister was currently standing next to her coolly. Her delicate hand had pressed Vice Dean Lucas’ wrist. She applied a little force, causing him to open his mouth, ready to scream.

Nora said coldly, “Don’t make a scene. If you embarrass yourself at a conference like this, you will no longer be able to hold your head up high in the future…”

She shot back her words at him.

Vice Dean Lucas let go of Sheena and took a step back in compromise. The pain made his forehead break out in a cold sweat. He lowered his voice and blurted out, “Can you let go of me now!”

Nora let go.

Simon hurried and stepped in front of Sheena and Nora. “We are not going through with this transaction!”

Seeing this, Vice Dean Lucas lowered his voice and barked angrily, “Fine! Fine! Since you don’t want to sell me the pills, I’m going to see who, other than the Hall of Traditional Medicine, dares to buy his medicines!”

After saying that, a deep voice suddenly came to them, “Who says there is no one who dares to buy them?”
