When Mr. Wangley laid his eyes on the small, white–
colored vial, his expression immediately turned into shock, but a look of greed replaced it soon after.
That was legendary Dr. Rowan Cross‘ Miracle Cure!
Why does a punk like him have such a treasure on him in the first place?
Anyone could see that this antidote was incredibly precious and worth a lot of money!
Even the tiniest amount of powder could already fetch sky–high prices.
It was no wonder that the punk could act so cocky, and that was all because he was in possession of H
exanavir.
Today shall be the day of his downfall!
“Hmph!” Quentin snorted and said nothing before downing the whole cup of tea in one gulp.
Almost immediately after he gulped down the tea, the ongoing sharp pains in his stomach gradually sta
rted to disappear.
The pain completely disappeared a few minutes later.
This caused Quentin to feel like he’d just survived a huge ordeal.
“I won’t forget the shame you inflicted on me today, Rhys! You had better not fall into my clutches anym
ore in the future!” Quentin barked before turning to Natasha Harmon. “And as for you, Natasha, you’d b
etter solve the crisis surrounding Eternumax soon. Else, don’t blame me if I report you to the board!”
The moment he finished barking, Quentin left the room in a haggard state.
“You’ll definitely regret everything you did today, young man!” Mr. Wangley grunted before turning to ch ase after Quentin.
Did he know who Quentin was? How could a puny doctor like him humiliate him like that?
If ever he decided to seek revenge eventually, he bet that his bones wouldn’t be spared even after he w
as
brutally murdered!
“So you came prepared, Dustin. You really scared me just now.” Ruth heaved a sigh of relief.
“It was all thanks to the Hexanavir your sister sent me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have won so easily,” Dusti
n let
out a small chuckle.
But of course, the antidote merely made things slightly easier for him.
“Hmph! It was all a trick then!” Jessica snorted and looked at Dustin in disdain.
She initially thought that he’d used his skills for this, but who knew that he had just utilized Hexanavir w

“You can stay unconvinced as long as you like, but the fact remains that Dustin won” Natasha argued

hard glare.
“So what if he won by a fluke? What makes you think this kid can research Eternumax without Mr. Wan
gley here?” Jessica questioned.
Eternumax was the heart and soul of Harmon Pharmaceuticals for many years now and was an equally
important part of the family’s development plans.
This was why she refused to believe that such an unknown figure like Dustin would have any ability to s
ave
the day.
“Who says? To me, Dustin is way more knowledgeable than whoever this Wangley guy is.” Natasha sto
od her
ground firmly.
“Fine, since you keep insisting that he’s the superior choice, then why don’t we make a bet? If he can d
evelop
Eternumax from scratch, I’ll take it as he’s passed
the test. Otherwise, I’ll have him resign from his post immediately to make way for the others!” Jessica r
oared, clearly enraged.
“I have no qualms with that,” Natasha said, refusing to give way.
Whether he would be able to do it or not was a separate matter. She couldn’t back down now.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Rhys, you punk! You’d better not let my daughter down!” Jessica spat after getting a clearer look at Du
stin. She then folded up her sleeves and up and left.
“What did mom mean by ‘test‘ just now?” Ruth asked, out of curiosity.
“Kids shouldn’t butt into adult matters.” Natasha rolled her eyes at her in response.
“Hmph! Well, I’m sorry for asking. Who died and made you queen?” Ruth pouted.
“You all keep mentioning Eternumax, but what is it exactly. Ms. Harmon?” Dustin asked while feigning i
gnorance.
Natasha Harmon forced a smile and started explaining. “Although the Harmons have a firm grip over m
any industries, the main focus is still medicine. This was why the decision behind the selection of busin
ess
partners and benefit–
sharing were all made in hopes of dominating the pharmaceutical market of the entirety of Swinton. Th

researching and developing a new kind of drug, which we plan to use to capture all of that market shar

was going to plan in the beginning, but no one had expected that there would be a traitor who had

which was how they took away a big chunk of our workforce. Not only that, they even stole our researc
