As soon as she got into the car, Hazel received a call from Lucia.

There was the sound of a door opening on the other end, followed by Alfred’s helpless reply, “Lucia, you were the one who threw the first punch…”

conversation,
Hazel immediately knew what had

the

previous night.
After cursing Alfred, Lucia realized she was still on the phone. After calming down, she said to Hazel, ‘I’ve asked about the matter you mentioned earlier.
“There’s a banquet on Friday, and that person will be there too. We’ll go together, and I’ll introduce you.”
Hazel responded, “Okay.”
They talked about the matter for a bit more before hanging up.
Immediately after, Leo’s call came through, informing Hazel that there had been people trying to put a price on her life recently, and advising her to be more careful when going out.
Hazel’s eyes darkened, and after telling Leo to look into these people, she focused on driving toward the laboratory. As she left the Top Villa area, she paid attention to the surrounding vehicles. She didn’t notice anything unusual but saw a famíliar Rolls–Royce.
If she wasn’t mistaken, it was Sebastian’s car.
She glanced at it and checked the rearview mirror. The car didn’t follow her.
Hazel was a bit confused by the actions of these men, and at that moment, the car radio was broadcasting a story about the Million Jackpot incident.
“Nyack incident happened a week ago, where those involved used money to alter the course of events. Our reporter contacted the whistleblower, Vivian. Let’s hear what she has to say…”
Vivian realized the public reaction wasn’t as strong as she’d hoped. After contacting Emma again, Emma arranged for her to speak to a reporter and advised her to play up her victimhood.
“I’ve had such a tough life. When I helped her, I didn’t even accept money. Who knew she’d repay kindness with harm? The two elders were

While waiting at a traffic light, Hazel was pondering the intentions of the person behind this when she suddenly spotted Emma driving a luxury

After all, many people from wealthy backgrounds were still working regular jobs these days. Emma might be one of them.
In the following days…
Hazel was either at the laboratory or at home with her daughter.
Before she knew it, it was Friday.

Lucia asked her curiously, “Haze, if you’re looking for a company to collaborate with on new drugs, Heart Pharmacal Company is better than Lucky Pharmacal Company.”
The true chairman behind Heart Pharmacal Company was Wesley, the husband of Scarlett. Lucia didn’t like this person, but as far as the company’s strength went, Heart Pharmacal Company was definitely superior

Hazel replied, “Heart Pharmacal Company was indeed powerful in the past, but since Wesley took over, he’s done a lot of shady things behind the scenes and their pricing is extremely unreasonable.”

Recently, because of Scarlett’s illness, Shania had been using connections to get people from ZN Laboratory to help. Hazel had arranged for Scarlett to receive treatment and later discovered she was suffering from chronic poisoning, which had caused her severe health issues. Even if she were treated, there would be lasting side effects.
Lucia wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about corporate management. However, having seen all sorts of people in the entertainment industry, she immediately understood Hazel’s meaning. They switched topics and continued chatting.
What Hazel didn’t expect was that Shania, who should have been taking care of her mother in Canada, appeared at the banquet.
She walked straight up to Hazel and invited her, “Ms.
may I have a word with you?”
“Of course.”
Robinson,
On the balcony at the side of the banquet hall, Shania got straight to the point, sincerely stating that she wanted to collaborate with Hazel.
Hazel had already looked into the internal situation of Heart Pharmacal Company when selecting potential partners.
Although Shania had a stake in Heart Pharmacal Company, her father was still the actual decision–maker. If they really partnered with Heart Pharmacal Company, the batch of drugs she was offering would most likely be reserved for the rich and powerful. It didn’t align with Hazel’s original intentions.
“Ms. Bond, I’ll be honest with you. Heart Pharmacal Company does have the strength to cooperate with me, but you don’t have it yet.”
Shania smiled bitterly, “I know.”
She only found out that after her mother’s incident, her father had been secretly transferring shares and related assets.
“If I can regain control of Heart Pharmacal Company within a month, would you consider collaborating with me, Ms. Robinson?”
Hazel gazed at the exhausted yet determined look in her eyes and reminded her, “Your father won’t make it easy for you to take it back.”
Wesley had been low–key for over twenty years and finally managed to secure control. There was no way he’d let go of it easily.
Although Shania was the only daughter of Scarlett, most of the shares held by Scarlett had already been secretly transferred to Wesley. Trying to take them back from such an ambitious man would not be easy.
“Since you’re a member of ZN Laboratory, Ms. Robinson, you may already know that my mother’s coma was caused by poisoning, right?
“It’s laughable, but the person who poisoned her was none other than my father.” Shania’s eyes held a sharp glint, her face twisted into a bitter smile.
Hazel didn’t respond.
Actually,
considering
Scarlett’s
current
position,
Hazel
wasn’t
supposed to know
about it yet.
However, because of the auction for Redwood Resort, Hazel had looked into all the related personnel, and one of the files mentioned that Scarlett and her daughter had sought treatment at ZN Laboratory.
Hazel remembered it clearly.
Shania had heard that ZN Laboratory had developed a new drug that had passed domestic inspections and was ready to be marketed in collaboration with relevant pharmaceutical companies.
With the current national child policy, many young people were working overtime, staying up late, and experiencing changes in their physical constitution.
Some people had been trying to conceive for years but couldn’t, while others had trouble maintaining pregnancies due to health issues.
The new drugs from ZN Laboratory aimed at two problems: one was for fertility, and the other for pregnancy retention.
They have undergone meticulous testing, capable of adjusting the body’s metabolism and constitutions, helping more families who wish to have children fulfill their dreams.
If she could secure cooperation on these two products, Shania’s status in Heart Pharmacal Company would rise significantly.
But the problem was…
The premise of her desire to cooperate with Hazel was that she had control over Heart Pharmacal Company.
The two were at odds, and she found herself in an awkward and passive position.
Requests in collaboration were the least effective approach, SO Shania didn’t reveal any such thoughts to Hazel.
Hazel didn’t make any promises either, honestly telling her that a month was too long.
“Ms. Bond, I can only give you half a month.”
“Okay.” Shania gritted her teeth and agreed.
In these next two weeks, she would do whatever it took to take back control of Heart Pharmacal Company for the Bond family!
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Gabriel, who arrived late, immediately drew
everyone’s
attention.

Some of them were focused on the red dress–wearing Emma at his side. She was introduced as his secretary, but everyone knew that Gabriel had always attended banquets with Ezra.
This was the first time Gabriel had brought a female secretary to a banquet in Seattle, and people were gossiping about it.
Shania’s eyes locked onto Emma, her small handbag tightly gripped, her gaze sharp and full of anger.
Hazel raised an eyebrow.“Do you know her?”
Without caring about airing her family’s dirty laundry, Shania bluntly said, “The secretary by the president of the Campbell Group is one of my father’s mistresses.
“Over the years, among the women who wanted to become my stepmother, she was the one who gained the most benefits and had the highest probability. She deeply won the favor of my dear father.”
Hazel suddenly remembered the scene she had seen this morning. Were the luxury car and mansion both gifts from Shania’s father?
