Jessica Brown placed her hands on the conference table, glaring at Danielle Fox, and questioned, "Danielle, is what you said true? Which Director Sun are you referring to?"
Danielle was delighted, knowing that her time for revenge had arrived. She sneered, "Of course it's true. Sarah Moore just told me. If you don't believe me, ask her."
She finished speaking and raised her chin, looking down at Sarah with amusement in her eyes.
Everyone's eyes fell on Sarah, but she was bewildered.
Indeed, she had a formula for the Youthful Appearance Pill, but it was something David Johnson scribbled nonsense on.
How could such a deceptive formula be brought out?
She glanced at Danielle, who was looking gleeful, clearly expecting to see her humiliated.
What should she do?
Was she to become the laughingstock of the Radiance Group starting today?
Jessica Brown stared intently at Sarah, excitedly saying, "Sarah, do you really have the formula for the Youthful Appearance Pill? Take it out quickly! If it's genuine, I'll immediately promote you to Vice President! Plus, a 3% equity stake!"
Sarah was shocked; she never imagined the president would be so generous! Those things combined were worth at least a billion!
But she didn't have any formula for the Youthful Appearance Pill, just a tattered napkin!
Jessica Brown, seeing Sarah's hesitation, said displeased, "Do you feel these terms are not enough? If so, name your price!"
"No, it's not…" Sarah stood up, hurriedly explaining, but she truly had no idea where to start. In desperation, she closed her eyes and took out the Basic Youth Pill formula from her pocket, placing it in front of Jessica Brown.
"I'm sorry... President... it was just a joke from a friend..."
Jessica Brown ignored her, glanced at the somewhat tattered napkin on the table, and her expression changed.
This was the formula for the Youthful Appearance Pill?
A formula worth a billion?
Damn, written on a tattered napkin?
Did they really take her for a fool?
Not only Jessica Brown, but everyone present was somewhat angry!
Did Sarah intend to pour salt on the company's wounds? To deceive with a tattered napkin?
Just as Jessica Brown was about to erupt, the medical savant, Elder Reyes, rushed over. A moment ago, he had vaguely glimpsed a few lines of the formula, key components that seemed to genuinely have beauty-enhancing effects!
Elder Reyes disregarded everyone's reactions, carefully cradling that napkin, inching closer to scrutinize it.
The more he looked, the redder his face became.
In the end, both his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and a tear welled up on his wrinkled face!
Seconds later, Elder Reyes shouted without caring for his image, "This... this really is the Youthful Appearance Pill! It's real! My heavens, to think I could see such a treasure in my lifetime! I can die without regrets!"
Too excited, his breathing became rapid, and he almost fainted.
He carefully cradled that tattered napkin and hurried over to Sarah, excitedly saying, "Director Sun, where did you obtain this formula? Can you tell me? I want to meet the person behind this formula! I'm begging you! Shall I kneel before you?"
At that moment, it was as if a bomb had gone off in everyone's mind!
Then, they were all stunned! Completely stunned!
This tattered napkin, which no one would pick up off the ground, was actually a billion-dollar formula!
A billion!
The Youthful Appearance Pill? Could such a pill truly exist in the world?
What the hell, is this even real?
Such happenings in the conference room, who would believe them if told!
As for whether Elder Reyes would deceive, no one present was worried!
Because Elder Reyes hailed from a family of physicians, a figure of sage-like stature!
He would never, ever sell himself for money!
Nor would he kneel just to meet the person behind it!
This scene was simply too overwhelming.
Incredibly overwhelming!
Overwhelming to the point of breathlessness!
Danielle's breathing quickened; she couldn't believe it. Her entire face almost contorted, muttering, "Impossible... absolutely impossible, how could that bitch have the formula for the Youthful Appearance Pill... it must be fake!"
The most bewildered of all was undoubtedly Sarah! At this moment, she seemed completely dazed!
Her eyes were fixated on that napkin, her mouth gaping wide enough to swallow an egg.
"Is this real? The thing he gave me is really the Youthful Appearance Pill? How is that possible?"
Elder Reyes's eyes were full of fervor, excitedly saying, "Director Sun, this person you speak of, is it the one who gave you the formula... can you take me to see him, I'm begging you! Really begging you!"
Having said this, Elder Reyes, all bones and old age, knelt before Sarah!
This scene happened in plain sight, leaving the skeptical speechless!
When even a medical savant knelt, how could it possibly be fake?
Sarah snapped out of it, hurriedly helping Elder Reyes up, "Elder Reyes, please don't do this, I can't bear it..."
Elder Reyes raised his head, trembling as he spoke, "Will you take me to meet this master?"
Sarah suddenly recalled David Johnson's desolate figure and, in her mind, echoed her heartless reprimands from the day. She wished she could slap herself hard!
It turned out the joke was not on David Johnson, but on herself.
Why, why didn't she believe him then?
But why did David Johnson exchange such a priceless thing for three thousand bucks?
Was he insane?
Or did he have feelings for her, and this was a token of his affection?
Sarah's mind was in chaos, driving her to near madness.
Jessica Brown composed herself from the shock, lightly cleared her throat, and asked, "Elder Reyes, are you really sure this formula is effective?"
Elder Reyes quickly replied, "President, I'd stake my life on its effectiveness! Moreover, this formula is a hundred times better than the products of Lixing Beauty Group! But..."
Jessica Brown dreaded such turning points in dialogue, coldly saying, "Finish your sentence!"
Elder Reyes continued, "But the formula seems to have been damaged; one of the ingredients isn't very clear..."
Jessica Brown' face changed drastically, hastily questioning Sarah, "Director Sun, what actually happened!"
Sarah was about to speak when a middle-aged man stood up, pointing at Danielle, saying, "President, I know about this. Before you arrived, the Public Relations Director Danielle had snatched the formula from Director Sun's hands and even stomped on it! If you hadn't come in time, the formula might have been destroyed!"
With those words, everyone's gaze turned towards Danielle!
Every single eye was filled with ferocity and anger!
This was a formula concerning the company's survival, and this woman dared to trample on it? Courting death, wasn't she!
Jessica Brown' eyes were cold, wanting to explode, but she forcibly suppressed her anger, directly stating, "Danielle, do you realize you almost doomed the Radiance Group! Fine, from now on, you're no longer Director of the Radiance Group! Get out of my conference room immediately!
And, if anything happens to this formula, I guarantee the Group will hold you criminally responsible!
You better pray nothing happens to this formula!"
With this, Jessica Brown turned and left!
Once the president left, Elder Reyes and several people from the R&D department couldn't hold back anymore! This woman was ruining a Aethelgard treasure! More passionate individuals rushed forward, slapping Danielle on the face!
"Bitch! Look at the mess you've caused!"
Elder Reyes, in his old bones, was equally furious, trembling as he scolded:
"So it was you, venomous woman, how dare you ruin such a treasure; do you realize what it means if this thing is destroyed? My good-for-nothing son happens to work in the Ministry of Culture; just you wait!"
In an instant, everyone pounced on Danielle, turning the conference room into utter chaos.
