Nora

Chapter 64:

They all turned around and looked to see a slender figure standing casually. The young woman looked charmingly beautiful, and her feline eyes were slightly downcast, as if she was sleepy and tired.

However, she also gave off a sense of unbridled arrogance.

Her slender fingers went to her pocket and pulled out a black pill wrapped in white paper. After tearing off the plain, rough white wrapper, he held it between two of his fingers and looked at Jon. He said, “This is the real pill: the Rest Pill.”

Jon’s eyes widened as soon as he saw her. The young woman simply looked too much like Yvette Anderson, which left him a little stunned. It was like that time when that other young woman had stood in front of him and had proudly declared, “I have successfully made the Rest Pill!”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, “Dr. Lincoln, take a look! Is that the Resting Pill?”

Doctor Lincoln was a well-known practitioner of traditional medicine in the circle. At the request, he stepped forward and took the pill from the young woman. Then, he scraped a bit of it, brought it to his nose and sniffed it carefully.

A moment later…

“It’s the Resting Pill! Besides, it looks like it’s been manufactured recently!”

“What, recently manufactured? That young lady seems to be from the Andersons…”

“Could it be that Yvette really was the one who created the Rest Pills?”

“…”

As soon as the words left the speaker’s mouth, the room fell silent.

Simon’s eyes lit up and he immediately said, “Mr. Myers, you don’t have anything to say now, do you?”

Jon quickly regained his composure. He said mysteriously, “I had made medicines together with Yvette back then. I didn’t expect her to have successfully created the Rest Pill as well…”

He was trying to make up for the embarrassment from a moment ago.

“Heh.”

Melissa laughed softly. Although she hadn’t said anything, it made Jon’s face burn as if someone had slapped him several times!

They all exchanged glances with each other.

Suddenly, Doctor Lincoln stepped forward and asked, “…. Mr. Anderson, may I know if the pill is for sale? I’m willing to pay $15,000.”

As soon as he said that, everyone else also came to their senses and began to swarm toward Simon.

“I’m willing to pay $23,000!”

“I’m willing to pay $80,000!”

“I’m willing to pay $150,000!”

“…”

This was obviously a conference, but if someone walked by outside, they might have thought it was an auction house.

Simon ignored them all and carefully put away the pill Dr. Lincoln was holding. He said, “This pill…”

Before he could say the words ‘it’s not for sale’, Nora said unhurriedly, “… it’s for sale, of course.”

Simon, “!”

The Myers could even make a name for themselves in New York with just a simple pill. Did Nora have any idea how valuable the pill was or not?

She was about to speak when Nora started pulling more pills out of her pocket. One, two, three… She pulled out a total of twenty pills!

She said calmly, “The Andersons’ new product, the Rest Pill, will be launched at the end of this month. The retail price will be…. $3,000 per pill?”

He had originally planned to price them at $1,500 each, but judging by his fervor now, it looked like he could also sell them for $3,000 without any problem…. Nora was still wondering if the price was too high when the crowd started shouting:

“I want 200 pills!”

“I want 2,000 pills!”

“Mr. Anderson, I want 3,000 pills!”

All the representatives from the pharmacy and hospital purchasing teams started shouting out their orders.

Simon swallowed saliva and looked unconsciously at Nora, who replied reluctantly, “The production process of the Resting Pill is complicated, so we can only produce up to 10,000 pills per month. They will not be sold at wholesale but at retail price.”

“…”

Everyone was a little disappointed, however someone approached Simon. “Mr. Anderson, if I order 5,000 packs of Vital Water, could you sell me 200 Rest Pills? I will buy them at the retail price, Not the wholesale price!”

Simon replied, “… Okay.”

“Me too! I want some too!”

The crowd, which had been rather dismissive of Simon a moment ago, surrounded him one after another.

Vice Dean Lucas, from the Hall of Traditional Medicine, also squeezed into the crowd. He said, “Simon, because of our friendship, you have to give me 500 Rest Pills no matter what!”

Unfortunately, before he could squeeze through the crowd, Sheena stopped him.

With an icy smile on her face, she said, “Are you interested in our products, Vice Dean Lucas? They will cost you four times the usual price.”

Vice Dean Lucas, “…”

He had just demanded a 60% discount on his products and now, the price of the Rest Pill had quadrupled! Sheena was definitely doing this on purpose!

Justin, who was standing nearby, looked a little stunned.

His original intention had been to give her money, but now….

“The pill sells for $3,000, but she sells them to us for $800 each. In other words, we make a profit of $2,200 per pill, which makes a total of $11,000,000! Mr. Hunt, Miss Smith has given us such a large share of the profits!”

Behind him, Sean was crunching the numbers. He commented, “Why does it look like we ended up taking advantage of Miss Smith?”.

Justin, “…”

He initially intended to return the favor, but it seemed that his debt increased instead….

The cold look on his face and the impatience in his heart had already dissipated at some point. The corners of her lips suddenly curved upward and even the beauty mark in her eyes exuded joy.

The young woman in the midst of the crowd had already meritoriously withdrawn at that moment.

She slipped quietly away, leaving all the hustle and bustle to Simon, and made her way toward Justin.

He had a bit of a complicated look on his face; there seemed to be a bit of hesitation, as well as a bit of uncertainty. What did he intend to say to her? And to think he was putting her on the spot.

The smile at the corner of Justin’s lips grew a little wider.

But just as she was getting closer and closer to him, the woman suddenly turned and walked over to Joel, who was standing next to her, instead.

Justin, “¿?”

The smile on his face suddenly froze.

Indeed, Nora was feeling a little hesitant and unsure.

She didn’t know if what she was doing was right or not, but she simply followed her heart and approached Joel. She said, “Mr. Smith, the Andersons are willing to provide your uncle’s medication at no cost.”

Joel had heard the commotion long ago.

However, he had not expected Nora to take the initiative and offer him the pills.

Her flirtatious eyes lifted slightly, but her smile also disappeared completely. Her eyes were icy as she replied, “I appreciate your kindness, but….”.

“My uncle never takes any of the Andersons’ medicine.”

After speaking, he nodded coldly to Nora, turned and left.

Nora was speechless.

Not expecting such a response, she was stunned.

At that moment a deep voice came to her. “Ian Smith has great pride. Your mother shamed him then. He will never use the Andersons’ medicines.”

Nora turned around to see Justin standing behind.

She clenched her jaw and then sighed.

There were mistakes one could make amends for, but there were also some that one couldn’t.

In that case, there was no need for her to pry any further.

Seeing that she didn’t seem to take it to heart, Justin coughed and said slowly, “Miss Smith, the new product…”

Nora gestured and said, “Since I’m giving it to you, take it.”

Justin chuckled softly and asked, “Do you want anything, Miss Smith?”

Anything you want…

Eyes glittering, Nora looked up at him and asked, “Will you give me anything I want?”

There it was, that smoldering look again.

Justin let out a quiet “Yes,” his voice deep and sultry.

Nearby, Sean was speechless.

Boss, I can’t stand the sight of you anymore!

Ding!

His cell phone rang. He looked down to see that someone had sent him the picture of Nora’s daughter he’d asked for a moment ago.
