"What did you just say? A major shareholder?" Julie paused for a moment before she laughed. "Hahaha! Have you lost your marbles, Rhys? You? A major shareholder? What a joke!""Oh, Rhys, you can go around boasting to others for all I care, but what's the point of bragging to us? You're just humiliating yourself!" Matt guffawed. He had done a thorough investigation on Dustin, and from what he found out, Dustin was, simply put, a good-for-nothing. He might have had some underhanded tactics up his sleeves, but he definitely had no real capabilities."Whether or not you believe me, that's your choice to make. But I guarantee that you won't be getting the company's rights," Dustin said calmly."Hah! You guarantee? How highly you think of yourself! Mr. Marcs is in charge here. Just one word from him, and the decision is final!" Julie made a disdainful face. "I do not know any Mr. Marcs, but I'm sure he does not have the authority to do so." Dustin remained unfazed."Hah! And do you? Tak

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Rhys is a tight buddy of mine. We'd give our lives up for each other. In fact, I had a night out drinking with him just yesterday! As long as I put a word in for you, he'll definitely do me this favor!" Mr. Marcs assured.Dustin chuckled lightly at that. What an artful liar!"Hey! What are you sniggering at?" Mr. Marcs glared at Dustin."Ignore him, Harvey. He's just a loser." Julie rolled her eyes."Mr. Marcs, if you can get me the company's rights, I'll be sure to repay you handsomely!" Matt promised."Haha! No problem! I'll get it done!" Mr. Marcs was beyond elated."Thank you, Mr. Marcs!" Matt grinned too. Judging from the high demand for Immortunol, he would soon be filthy rich once he got the company's rights. And then, he would have no difficulty restoring his family to its former glory!"Mr. Matt, I happen to have another business opportunity apart from the company's rights. Would you be interested?" Mr. Marcs asked sneakily."Oh? And what bu

"You! How dare you hit me?" Mr. Marcs held his face, which still burned from the smack. A mix of anger and shock was evident on his face.With the Harmons behind him, people fought to curry favor with him everywhere he went. When has anyone ever had the gall to hit him?"So what if I smacked you? As an employee, you're supposed to uphold the standards of the company, but look what you're doing! You steal from the company and mix substandard products with quality products. I think you deserve every bit of that smack!" As Dustin spoke, he went up and delivered a few more smacks. Mr. Marcs saw stars and bled from both his nose and mouth. The commotion attracted a lot of onlookers."Goodness! Who's this? How dare he hit Mr. Marcs?""Wreaking havoc on Harmons' premise! I gotta say, he's something else!""I think he's just ignorant. He's going to end up in a lot of trouble!"The crowd gathered around to watch and exchanged comments among themselves."Rhys! Are you out of your mind?

"Do you hear that? Everyone's saying that you're the thief." Morgan smirked maliciously. Which insolent bastard is this who dared meddle in his affairs?"Mr. Finn, it seems like you're going to cover up for him, then?" Dustin's eyes narrowed, a menacing look in his eyes.It suddenly made sense to Dustin why Mr. Marcs dared to act so rampantly. It was because he had an equally unrighteous superior! Dustin had thought that he had seen the worst from Mr. Marcs, but it turns out that Morgan was worse! Not only did he distort the truth, he even framed others for things that they did not do. It was plain for all to see that his subordinate was in the wrong, but he blatantly put the blame on Dustin. That was too much!"So what if I cover up for him? Who do you think calls the shots here?" Mr. Finn pressed his lips together into a thin line. "I'm giving you a chance now. Get down on your knees and apologize to Mr. Marcs right now, and admit that you were wrong. If you don't, I'll make sure

"What? Mr. Rhys?" Morgan had shock written all over his face.He had indeed received news that the developer of Immortunol, Mr. Rhys, would be present today, but he hadn't expected him to be so young!"N—no way! H—he's… He's Mr. Rhys?!" Mr. Marcs's eyes widened in disbelief. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that the person he had been bragging about being a tight buddy with was right there in front of him. This was bad. This was really bad. They were in deep trouble now."Mr. Rhys? Dustin Rhys?" Julie looked around in bewilderment. "They must be mistaken! The brilliant Mr. Rhys who developed Immortunol was Dustin? How is that possible?" She mused."What ability does this rascal possess to be able to come up with the prescription formula for Immortunol?" Matt felt astonished, which was soon taken over by jealousy. Immortunol was a precious drug that was able to bring in endless fortune! But how did such a treasure end up in the hands of such a worthless person? It was tru

"H—how could you order them to smack me?" Morgan cradled his face in his palms as disbelief consumed him."Not only did I get them to hit you, I'm throwing you out too! As of this moment, you are no longer vice president of the company!' Natasha said bluntly."Natasha Harmon! This is too much! I've slaved my ass off in the company all these years, and you're laying me off all because of this scoundrel? How easily you dismiss my effort and labor! Are you not afraid that this won't sit well with the rest of the employees?""What? Is that a threat? Do you think that you are in a position to threaten me?"Natasha laughed mockingly. "Let me be honest here. I'm not only going to fire you, but I'm also sending you to prison today! I have records of all your dirty deeds, which I'm sure are enough to keep you in there for a lifetime!""Natasha Harmon! How dare you! I have the support of your cousin, Quentin Harmon!" Morgan shouted loudly, though he was trembling within."Quentin Harmon? H

"Alright, alright. Let's put all those behind us and talk business, shall we?" Matt stepped in to smooth things over. "Dustin, let's be professional here. I'm really interested in the company's rights. Here's a million-dollar check. I'd like to buy an allocation for the rights.""A million dollars? Do you take me for a beggar?" Dustin found it ridiculous."Hey! Are you saying that a million dollars is too little? Aren't you getting greedy?" Julie protested indignantly. "Just because the Harmons' gave you a prescription formula, you think that you can flaunt your authority? You only have authority because you are affiliated with the Harmons!""Dustin, let's cut to the chase. Name your price; how much will it take for you to give me the company rights?" Matt tried his best to stay calm."No amount of money will be able to get you that. A person of your character is simply not qualified to obtain the company rights for Immortunol," Dustin flat-out rejected him."What? You're rejectin

An hour later, James burst into the Nicholson manor hurriedly. "Mom! I've got bad news! Julie's in big trouble!""Trouble? What trouble?" Florence was enjoying her tea and responded slowly."Matt just called to tell me that Julie's been sent to jail!" That was a shocking piece of news."What?" Florence sat bolt upright when she heard that. "How did that happen? Why would Julie suddenly be locked up?""Matt said that Julie went to the Harmons' to buy something called Immortunol, and she got into some sort of conflict with Dustin. Somehow, Julie ended up detained for stealing drugs," James explained."Stealing drugs? No! That's impossible! Julie might be spoiled, but she would never commit theft!" As Florence spoke, she suddenly seemed to catch an important piece of information. "Hang on, did you just say that Julie had a conflict with Dustin, which was why she got caught? Could it be possible that the worthless piece of trash pulled a dirty trick on her?""That's right! That's wha

At noon, after settling the issue with the dealer, Dustin returned to Peaceful Medical Center.However, as soon as he walked in, he realized that there was an additional person there—an 18-year-old girl with a sweet face.Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was dressed casually. She was cleaning the medical center, and sweat poured down her face from how hard she was working.Meanwhile, Gregory was passed out on a recliner, snoring in his sleep. He was covered in a blanket, which was rare."Mr. Rhys, you're back?" When the girl saw Dustin, she immediately stood up straight and greeted him, looking nervous."Who are you?" Dustin found the situation rather strange."I'm Caitlyn Lawler. Ms. Harmon sent me here to take care of Mr. Jones," the girl replied, nodding her head in greeting."A—are you of age?" Dustin was a little taken aback. He thought Natasha was going to send a middle-aged housekeeper, not a young teenager."I am! I'm already 18 years old!" Caitlyn nodded her he

Dustin knew that Caitlyn deeply lacked a sense of security.If he asked her not to do anything, she would feel even more lost.At that moment, his phone rang.When he picked up the phone, he heard an unfamiliar voice. "Hello, is this Mr. Rhys? I'm the new chief inspector from the investigation bureau, Aspen Cruiser.""Oh, it's you, Chief Cruiser. Is something the matter?" Dustin was surprised."Here's the deal. We just arrested a suspect named Julie Amberson. According to our investigation, she was your sister-in-law, and she's involved in the theft of Immortunol. I wanted to ask if you wanted to take her case?" Aspen asked tentatively."It's fine. This has nothing to do with her," Dustin replied.Although he didn't like Julie, he wouldn't stoop so low as to use his power for his personal revenge and send her to jail."Alright, I know what to do now. Enjoy your day, Mr. Rhys."Dustin said nothing as he hung up. Then, he took out an ancient text and began to leaf through it.I
