Chapter 1469
When Elara took out the final evidence, the middle-aged man fell on his knees in despair.Had it just been the insurance records, he could have worm his way out. But now that they found the poison, and it even had his fingerprints on it, there was nothing else he could say to save himself."So it turns out that this bastard had lied! How despicable!""He even murdered his own father! Does he have no conscience?""A beast! He's a beast through and through!"The onlookers who had gathered around began berating and condemning him.They had thought that the victim had died due to the products of the vile sellers, but the man had intentionally framed them. And the worst part was that he was evil enough to harm his own father! Not even an animal would do something like that. It was downright inhumane!"What a good-for-nothing!" Eleanor muttered under her breath with her brows furrowed. Not only had he failed to accomplish his purpose, he even left behind such important evidence. I

"Bo, what exactly have the Camrons offered you? Why are you helping them?" Eleanor asked with her brows furrowed."I have always stood up for people in unjust situations. Do you have a problem with that?" Bo lifted his chin and looked down his nose at them."There are never lasting enemies, Bo; Only lasting interests. No matter what benefits the Camrons have offered you; the Welch family will offer you double!" Eleanor tried to strike a deal with Bo."Double?" Bo chuckled at that, and a hint of contempt crept into his smile."Truth be told, I'm the biggest shareholder of Dew Balm. I hold 40% of the shares. So, if you were to double that, that'd be 80%. Are you able to afford that?""What?" When she heard that, Eleanor's expression soured.She had assumed that Bo had been offered some form of benefit to assist the Camrons. It hadn't occurred to her that they had formed such an alliance. It was impossible to get Bo to side with them now."So this is how it is." Ezra frowned, his

Eleanor was secretly pleased to see that all three of them had agreed to it. A sly smirk graced her features.What a bunch of idiots! All it took were a few words to agitate them, and now they fell into her trap. She would never have suggested such a bet if she was not fully confident that she would win!Framing them with the dead body had just been Plan A. But now, they would go all out and deploy Plan B. As long as Dustin agreed to take her up on the bet, he'd be jumping head-first into the trap Eleanor had laid out for him."Draft us an agreement to sign now!" Eleanor ordered.The people who were with Eleanor immediately began busying themselves. A while later, two copies of an agreement were brought to her. Relevant clauses of the agreement were clearly stated. Not only would the losers need to surrender their formula, but they would also have to make a public apology and promise never to sell similar products again."Have you had a good look at it yet? If you have, then

At the sight of that, Ezra beamed even brighter. "See that, Dustin? This is the surprise we've prepared for you!""So you guys came prepared! Isn't this just cheating!" Lana criticized them."Haha! All is fair in war! You can't blame me for your own stupidity! I can't believe you actually took us up on the bet!" Ezra gloated."It's jam-packed over on our side, but I can't say the same for you. It's pretty clear who's going to be the winner now. You might as well just admit defeat." Eleanor smirked.Though their plan to frame Dustin and Lana with the dead body hadn't worked, their strategy to provoke them had. Eleanor and Ezra's plan had not gone to waste."What's the rush? We've still got time before the day ends." Dustin remained calm and composed."What? Are you still unwilling to admit that you've lost?" Ezra mocked with a taunting smile. "Fine, we'll just take things up a notch and make sure that you acknowledge your defeat!"Then, he pulled out his cell phone and made a cal

"Turn around? What? Are you able to change things up?" Ezra sniggered condescendingly. He turned around to have a look.All he saw was how great business was for them at Rejuvenaid Pharmaceuticals. Customers were swarming in, and almost everyone in the elite circle of South City had come to show their support. Besides that, there was nothing out of the ordinary."Dustin, I think you're too old for such childish gimmicks. Does such jokes humor you?" Ezra mocked."Hey! Are you just too much of a coward to admit defeat?" Eleanor asked sarcastically. "We have witnesses, evidence, and the signed agreement! There's no point saying more. Just surrender the formula already! It'd be less embarrassing for you that way.""Who said that we've lost? See for yourself, what's that over there?" Dustin gestured in a direction down the road."Hah! Do you think I'd fall for the same trick again?" Ezra huffed without looking back.Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Ezra wasn
Chapter 1474
Ezra and Eleanor didn't expect so many wealthy people to support Camron Medicals' launch.They began to grow anxious. If this were to carry on, they were beginning to doubt whether they would win."Gentlemen, thank you for showing up and giving us your support. Please, head on in." Lana and Matteo beamed from ear to ear as they welcomed the guests and invited them in for a seat.The Welch and Swanson families dominated the market in South City. With just the Camrons' abilities alone, they would not have been able to get much support. But now that they had help from the Dawson family, many of the wealthy merchants from Easy City turned up to support them. Had it not been for the Dawsons, Camron Medicals would have lost terribly."I never expected you to be prepared for this, Mr. Dawson. I guess now we can have a proper fight against the Welch and Swanson families!" Lana smiled brightly."These are all Dustin's arrangements. I'm only doing things according to his plan." Bo twirled
Chapter 1475
Those from the Welch and Swanson families could no longer stay calm. They had planned and schemed for so long but never expected that the Langford family, the head of the eight great families, would support the Camrons.There was a stark difference between the Langford family's and the Welch and Swanson families' statuses. They were not even on the same level! Was it possible that the Camron family actually had the Langfords backing them?"H-How is this possible? Why would the leader of the Langford family show up here?" Eleanor's eyes widened in disbelief.That was Ethan, the leader of the Langford family! He was a powerful and formidable minister of the imperial court. Known to be haughty, he never formed alliances with others.Even if Eleanor's parents invited Ethan, he wouldn't even show up! He wouldn't even care for people like Bo and Dustin. So, who exactly managed to get Ethan to turn up in person?"Things just turned bad for us!" Ezra broke out in a cold sweat, fluster

With everyone's gaze fixed on them, the convoy of luxury cars slowly made their way to the opposite side of the road. Finally, they stopped right at the front of Rejuvenaid Pharmaceuticals.Eleanor was elated at the sight of that. "Haha! They're here for us! Our backup is finally here!""Yes! It's time we show them what we're capable of!" Ezra was also overjoyed.Though Ethan's presence had changed things for them, they were fully prepared to reverse the tides."Who could it be?" Alistair mumbled as he rubbed his chin. Anticipation was evident in his eyes.Most of the Welch and Swanson families' allies were already there. Could there be a surprise in store for them?"Dustin! Lana! Bo!" Eleanor called them out one by one haughtily, "I told you, don't be happy too soon!"What do you think now? Not so happy anymore, are we?""I admit that you're quite a worthy opponent. Unfortunately, we're just much better than you!" Ezra said proudly.As Ezra and Eleanor taunted their opponents
