Chapter: 239
“Really? That’s wonderful!” Natasha’s spirits were lifted.
Based on what she had just experienced, she was sure that the Immortinol’s effects far surpassed that of the Eternumax.
Furthermore, if they could control its production cost, that would be a breakthrough!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that once Immortinol was out on the market, it would bring Eternumax down to its knees.
“Ruth, we need to keep Immortinol a secret.”
“Why?”
“Edwin will be having a press release for the launching of Eternumax in a few days. We have to take him by surprise and hit him where it hurts. It’ll give him a huge shock in front of the press!”
Over at the Nicholsons‘ that afternoon.
“Dahlia, are you going to Miss Hummer’s birthday party this evening? Can you bring me along?” James asked excitedly when he saw the invitation on the table.
She was, after all, the daughter of Edwin Hummer, the richest man in the country. It would be beneficial to make acquaintances with such a person.
“I will be attending the birthday party, but the invitation is limited to two persons only. Julie has already called dibs on it.” Dahlia cast a damp over James‘ enthusiasm.
“Her?” Displeased, James turned to look at Julie, who was on the couch applying makeup to her face.
“Dahlia, I’m your brother! How could you bring her, and not me?” He grumbled.
At that, Julie shot him a glare and said condescendingly, “And what can you do there? Everyone attending the party tonight will be people of status and elites. Wouldn’t a high school dropout like you just embarrass yourself showing up there?”
“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean? Do you think that you’re all that great?” James was irked.
“Better than you, at least.” Julie wasn’t one to back off easily.
“You!”
James was just about to burst into a fit of anger when Florence stopped him just in time.
“That’s enough. Julie’s our quest, you should play nice. I think it’d be a good opportunity for her to make good connections at the party this evening since she’s fresh out of college. Let her go with Dahlia.”
“Do you hear that? If I manage to befriend Miss Hummer, I’d be on the highway to success! When the time comes, I’ll make sure you benefit from it too!” Julie said with her head held high.
“Hah! You? I’d be better off relying on mysel!!”
James plopped down on the couch, obviously feeling indignant.
Ever since Julie came, all the attention had been shifted to her. He felt that he was now out of favor.
“Ah, right, Dahlia, I nearly forgot.”
Florence seemed to recall something as she rummaged around in her bag. In the end, she pulled out an Intricate jewelry box.
