"...Eastminster Pharmaceutical Group would never steal the formula for Virtue Pharmaceuticals’ fibromyalgia treatment!" "You’re not President Johnson, so how would you know that Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory didn’t steal the formula for the fibromyalgia treatment?" the reporter asked sharply. Sienna Johnson didn’t want Noah Phillips to face this disaster, as it had nothing to do with him. She stepped out from behind Noah Phillips and was about to speak when he suddenly said, "On behalf of Golden Creation Corp., I guarantee that Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory could not have stolen the formula from Virtue Pharmaceuticals." Worldcraft Group was a large multinational company that had a good reputation in the industry and in the eyes of its clients. "President Phillips, what makes you so confident that you choose to believe this despite so much evidence?" another reporter threw out a sharp question. Sienna Johnson wanted to speak, but Adrian Desmond still kept her tightly protected so that she would not be harmed. This was the first time Adrian Desmond had laid eyes on the living Noah Phillips, his top "love rival." Noah Phillips’s appearance was on par with Adrian Desmond’s, though they differed significantly in temperament. Noah Phillips was gentle and elegant, embodying the charm of a gentleman-prince that women would adore—including Sienna Johnson. Latest content published on N0velFire.ɴet Adrian Desmond was just curious: why would Sienna Johnson choose to marry Kenneth Brown if she liked Noah Phillips? "Sienna Johnson is my sister, and I trust her character. I believe she would never do such morally reprehensible things. As for why Virtue Pharmaceuticals has the formula, I am also curious." Noah Phillips’s words were aimed at discrediting Virtue Pharmaceuticals. "President Davis, you asked my sister why she has the formula for the fibromyalgia treatment. I’m also curious, how did you get the formula?" President Davis was the Boss of Virtue Pharmaceuticals. Virtue Pharmaceuticals was an established brand in Sileria City. However, since Sienna Johnson ascended to her role, the research and development team at Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory had become very powerful. They had quickly developed many effective medicines, which rapidly captured the market share in Sileria City and also built a national reputation. When he traveled out of town, any mention of Sileria City would also bring up Eastminster Group and Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory. President Davis had long been dissatisfied with both Sienna Johnson and Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory. Therefore, when Sabrina Johnson approached him about this matter, he immediately decided to act. Strike first and gain the upper hand; strike late and suffer disaster. If he didn’t take action, he feared that the Virtue Pharmaceuticals brand would soon cease to exist in Sileria City. "Of course, President Johnson sent a spy to steal our formula!" President Davis was well-prepared. Another man then entered the conference room. "President Johnson, you should recognize this person, right?" At President Davis’s words, camera flashes went off non-stop. Neal Hubert was initially somewhat afraid. But seeing everyone looking at him and hearing the incessant clicking of the reporters’ cameras made him feel like a big star. He puffed out his chest, smiling, very pleased with himself. Sienna Johnson genuinely didn’t recognize the man in front of her. Kenneth Brown, who had been behind the scenes, walked up to Sienna Johnson and whispered in her ear, "His name is Neal Hubert. He’s Eric Johnson’s brother-in-law." Eric Johnson’s brother-in-law? Sienna Johnson recalled the incident from three years ago. Three years ago, this Neal Hubert had been negligent, allowing toxic pharmaceutical wastewater to flow into the city moat. This almost caused Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory to lose its Business License. This damned scoundrel, how could he be here? "President Johnson, long time no see." Neal Hubert’s eyes roved over Sienna Johnson inappropriately. She gave him a cold stare and asked, "Do we know each other?" "You may not know me, but you must know my uncle, Eric Johnson, right?" "Oh, I recognize him. Three years ago, Eric Johnson was involved in corruption and bribery, which nearly bankrupted Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory. He was dismissed by me. Oh, and I remember you now. You’re Neal Hubert, aren’t you? The one who got drunk on duty and caused untreated pharmaceutical wastewater to flow into the city moat?" "Three years ago, Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory was almost shut down by the Bureau of Industry and Commerce because of you. I’ve been looking for you; I didn’t expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep." Sienna Johnson’s tone was calm and unhurried, conveying a sense of being in control. "...Nonsense! Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory has always dumped pharmaceutical wastewater into the city moat to save costs!" Neal Hubert retorted, trying to frame her. "That matter was clarified three years ago. There’s no need for your baseless accusations here. Do you think being loud makes you right?" Neal Hubert couldn’t win against Sienna Johnson and didn’t argue about the events from three years ago any further. Instead, he declared loudly, "I’ll confess! This woman made me steal the formula for the fibromyalgia treatment! Sienna Johnson said that if I stole the formula, she’d give me a large sum of money so I’d never have to worry about food or clothing again. "I needed the money, so I did it for her. "Sienna Johnson stole the formula for the fibromyalgia treatment from Virtue Pharmaceuticals!" Noah Phillips asked, "How did you steal it?" "Sienna Johnson instructed me to infiltrate Virtue Pharmaceuticals. She had me pose as an ordinary employee to get into Virtue Pharmaceuticals’ Pharmaceutical Research and Development Department. I stole it when they weren’t looking." Noah Phillips asked again, "What is your education level?" "Junior high graduate..." Neal Hubert replied, not understanding why Noah Phillips was asking. Noah Phillips stopped questioning Neal Hubert and turned to President Davis. "President Davis," he said, "your Virtue Pharmaceuticals certainly has an unconventional approach to hiring talent. Employing someone with only a junior high school education in your Research and Development Department?" The Research and Development Department is typically a company’s core strength, staffed by its elite. Yet, an employee with only a junior high school education managed to get into Virtue Pharmaceuticals’ R&D Department. This naturally led people to question whether Virtue Pharmaceuticals even had the capability to develop a fibromyalgia treatment. Sienna Johnson and Noah Phillips cooperated seamlessly. Following Noah Phillips’s lead, Sienna Johnson lured Neal Hubert into a trap. "Perhaps Neal Hubert is a genius," she said. "Secretary Scarlet, please have someone prepare some medicinal herbs. Let Mr. Hubert enlighten us with his knowledge of Traditional Medicine." "Yes, President Johnson." Adrian Desmond, standing outside the crowd, looked at the two people on stage. That woman is like the brightest star in the sky, he thought, shining so brilliantly it’s impossible to look away. I truly love this woman deeply. But she is worth my love, worth loving so profoundly. "Sixth Master, are you okay?" Walter Klein observed Adrian Desmond. He’d dressed up, ready for a grand entrance, only to have his role stolen. Someone with Adrian Desmond’s temperament must be furious. "What could possibly be wrong with me?" Walter Klein thought to himself, He looks so strained! He’s definitely been hit hard. "Sixth Master, don’t be upset. You’ll have other opportunities." Opportunities to play the hero rescuing the damsel in distress. "Actually, if you had told Madam about Sabrina Johnson’s schemes from the beginning, you wouldn’t have had your thunder stolen today."
