Leonard said nothing. He merely stared at the door.What Mark had done was openly declare war. This was definitely not only because of Chuck. Mark no longer wanted to continue pretending and wanted to get rid of him and Claude.At that thought, a chill ran down Leonard's back. He furrowed his brows and made up his mind. It seemed that the collaboration with Kendrick couldn't wait any longer.If Claude was still refusing to cooperate, Leonard was going to move on. After all, he didn't want to get killed with an idiot.…Chuck followed Mark into the car. He thanked him, "Thank you so much…"The next second, a phone, whose screen was lit up, was thrown onto Chuck's lap. Chuck looked at Mark in confusion. "What is it?""Have a look."Chuck picked up the phone. What he saw stunned him, but the shock soon turned into rage. He said fiercely, "Someone must have been behind this!""Obviously." Mark side-eyed Chuck and said, "You stole Hopeful Faith's core technology. Do you think Y
That afternoon, Well Spring Pharma released an official statement online. They denied all the claims online, calling them false information, and stated that they would see to the bottom of the source of the rumors.Besides that, Chuck had even recorded a statement personally. He claimed that Well Spring Pharma's platform was the result of many years of planning. He stated that he also hoped to have less internal fighting within the medical industry. He hoped they could put more effort into medical research instead.His speech was extremely polite and well put. But he also implied that this was the work of Well Spring Pharma's rival. It was obvious to the public who the rival was.Once the video was posted, the criticism was once again directed at Hopeful Faith.Compared to the international medical corporation that was Well Spring Pharma, Hopeful Faith was just a private medical platform. Naturally, they would be called into question."I can't see how it was plagiarized. They are
"Didn't you instruct Stephen to look after me?" Conan asked with a smile."Although he's always cold, he still listens to you. If he hadn't been prepared this time, Hopeful Faith would have been ruined in my hands."Conan teased, "As for what he did, you'll just have to wait and see."Yvonne was baffled. She was so worried about him, yet here he was still in the mood to tease her?"By the way, is Stephen by your side? Could you thank him for me? He hasn't been replying to my calls or messages.""No, I came to Well Spring Pharma's press conference alone. He said he had other things to do." Yvonne looked out of the window. She suddenly missed Stephen. She wondered what he was doing at that moment."I see …" Conan was a little disappointed. "Alright, then. Do thank him for me when you have the chance. I still have a meeting to go to. See you.""Okay." Yvonne hung up. She exhaled and suddenly thought about Chuck.Chuck must have surely approved Well Spring Pharma's statement. D
"Yvonne, if you're still angry, tell me. I will do my best to make it up to you." Leonard looked extremely sincere. "I really hope that our relationship won't be strained because of Howard and Jade's incident. You—""Does Claude know that you're making up with me?" Yvonne casually interrupted Leonard. "That day at the hospital's entrance, Claude wanted to avenge Jane right on the spot. Do you think he would be willing to cooperate with me once more?"Leonard paused for a while before clearing his throat. "I won't lie to you. My relationship with him recently has also been rather strained. He's too stubborn and won't listen to me. "Of course, I understand that Jane is his only granddaughter. It's normal that he would still hold a grudge, but …"Leonard's gaze gleamed ambitiously. "I can't just keep going on like this. If we were to continue this way, Mark will be the one who profits."Yvonne raised an eyebrow. "What you're saying is that you want to go behind Claude's back and
"What?" Yvonne no longer looked delighted. She pretended to be curious and asked, "Leonard, are you interested in the arms business?"Leonard was stunned. "I was just casually asking. After all, you have contact with so many wealthy people. I just wanted to know if you have any connections in this business. "You know this too—Mark has always been controlling the Emerald Group's arms business, which is why he can be so cocky."Leonard looked troubled. "If we have a way of shaking things up, perhaps even stealing his business, that would truly hurt him."Yvonne nodded in agreement. "Of course."Seeing Yvonne's reaction, Leonard finally believed what Kendrick said. It seemed like Yvonne didn't know whose life she had saved.It was better that way anyway. It meant that Yvonne wouldn't snatch his business.Leonard was secretly thrilled by that thought. He gave the server a glance, signaling him to fill his glass filled with red wine once more."The arms business will be something
At the mention of Chuck, Yvonne remembered something else. "Conan called me. He said you have something up your sleeve. What is it?""You'll find out about it soon." She had predicted that this was how Stephen was going to respond. She tutted and said, "Fine. I don't want to know anyway. Also, Conan asked me to thank you on his behalf. He said that you're not picking up his calls or replying to his messages."Yvonne thought it was a little unfair to Conan. "You clearly care about him. Don't treat him so coldly. It won't kill you to reply to his messages.""I'm only doing it because you asked me to," Stephen said.Yvonne couldn't be bothered to deal with his pretense. "Alright, fine. I don't care how you see it. Anyway, I've already thanked you on Conan's behalf. I'll take it that you accept it."Then, she yawned. "I'm a little sleepy. I'll nap for a while. I'll text you when I reach the hotel." She hung up without waiting for Stephen's response.Stephen smiled at the phone.
Despite the controversy online, within less than half a month, the number of daily users for Well Spring Pharma's platform exceeded Hopeful Faith's by a mile.Well Spring Pharma had a long-standing reputation. Hence, the public would be more willing to trust its quality.On top of that, Well Spring Pharma had spent a huge amount of money on promoting the platform and creating more resources for it. This made it seem extra special in the eyes of the public.Chuck was very happy with the results of the new platform. He deliberately rewarded the team who had built platform and even praised them during a meeting.However, his behavior made the original Hopeful Faith core team members extremely unhappy.After the meeting, they gathered together and discussed among themselves. A young man with black-framed glasses grumbled, "Mr. Kirby, they only managed to build the platform because of the technology we provided. "Yet, today Mr. Jensen only praised the people from Well Spring Pharma
That night, Well Spring Pharma's team worked overnight to repair the platform. But much to their despair, they found out that … Not only was their platform's backend down, but their user data was also quickly vanishing as well. It was as if there was a leak somewhere! Their user data kept leaking nonstop! The next morning, Chuck held an emergency meeting.He slammed the documents on the table hard and questioned sternly, "Someone tell me how this should be fixed!""M-Maybe there was already a virus in the original system. It was hidden very well. We didn't realize it when we used it …"The team leader gave Edward an ambiguous glance. "Perhaps someone deliberately made sure that we didn't find out about it."This enraged Edward, and he shot up from his seat. "Are you saying that we deliberately tried to harm Well Spring Pharma? Where's your proof? If you can't produce any proof, you better watch out!"The other team members supporting Edward stood up as well.Everyone in the
