Chapter 168 Jones Group in Imperial City
Mary threw up for a while, then washed her face and walked out. She still felt a bit uncomfortable but forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, probably just something I ate for lunch that made me feel nauseous."
William nodded and accompanied Mary into the hospital room.
Sarah was very happy today because William and Mary came together.
Mary stayed with Sarah and chatted with William about the company. "We should invite Isaac out for a thank-you dinner sometime."
"Why?" William asked in puzzle.
"Isaac asked someone to help with the company's issues. He told me about it, and recently, there will be pharmaceutical company coming to us for seeking cooperation," said Mary.
Although she was reluctant, there was no other way. After all, Isaac did help.
William's face immediately changed when he heard this.
Isaac helped?
Isaac really dared to take credit for everything. What did this have to do with him?
"Do you really think it was Isaac who helped?" William asked.
Mary was taken aback and said, "If not him, then who? Our company was short six hundred million dollars, and so many pharmaceutical companies had cut ties with us. I just received a notice that Orion Pharmaceuticals, where Isaac works, is ready to discuss cooperation with me."
William frowned. Orion Pharmaceuticals was arranged by him, and the other pharmaceutical companies were all his family businesses.
"It was actually me," William said.
Mary was stunned and looked at William suspiciously. Her expression changed slightly, and she said, "Alright, William, I know you really want to help me, but you really can't help with this matter."
As Mary saw William's face change, she immediately said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore."
William couldn't explain it now, so he reluctantly said, "Fine, I'll handle it."
Mary nodded. To be honest, she didn't want to compare William with Isaac.
Although William had changed a lot recently, he was still far behind Isaac.
Moreover, William was clearly not mature enough.
Did it really matter who helped with this?
Even if it wasn't, Mary wouldn't blame him.
Thus, Mary had some opinions about William in her heart and said, "William, I know you have some money now, but sometimes, you can't help with every problem. I'm not blaming you, I just hope you'll be honest with me in the future. I know you have issues with Isaac, but he did help me. Can you be more magnanimous?"
William felt very annoyed and thought that Mary was defending Isaac.
With a cold snort, William stood up and said, "So, are you feeling sorry for your high school boyfriend? If you really miss those days, I don't mind. You can go back to him if you believe he helped so much."
"What do you mean, William?"
Mary's face darkened, and her eyebrows furrowed in anger. She was clearly upset.
William didn't believe her.
Was this matter really that important?
"What do I mean?"
William sneered and said, "Your mom is always hoping for our divorce, and now there's Isaac. Look at how happy your mom is, wishing he were her son-in-law. Now that he's back looking for you, go ahead. Your mom likes him, and he can help you with your company's problems. In your eyes, I'm just a useless person!"
With that, William turned and stormed out of the hospital room in anger.
Mary was also very angry but didn't bother to chase after him.
In the evening, William and Mary returned to the Smith Family's old house one after the other. They had been eating there for the past few days.
During dinner, it was obvious that William and Mary were in a cold war.
Margaret was overjoyed and pulled Mary into the bedroom. She asked Mary in a low voice , "Mary, are you and William having a fight?"
Mary was very annoyed and said, "Mom, no, just leave it alone."
Margaret could see through Mary's thoughts and immediately fanned the flames, "Mary, listen to me. You and William are really not suitable for each other. You've been married for three years, and look at him now, still so useless. I think Isaac is great. He came back for you this time, and you should seize the opportunity. The Hayes family is wealthy and powerful. If you marry him, we will have a better life."
Mary felt headache and said, "Mom, can you stop meddling in these things? I won't divorce William, and I have nothing to do with Isaac. Just stop worrying, okay?"
"Why are you so disobedient? What's so good about William? He's a useless person. Can you live a good life with him? Look at Isaac, he has a single-family villa and so many luxury cars. You're throwing away a diamond for a stone. Listen to me, find a time to divorce William. Don't worry, with me here, I'll make sure he leaves with nothing."
Margaret had already calculated that even if they divorced, she would make sure William left with nothing.
She was certain William had stashed away quite a bit of money.
"Enough, I won't divorce him. Stop worrying about these things," Mary said and left the bedroom.
In the living room, William was chatting with Tyler about their collections, having a good conversation.
Tyler's attitude towards William had actually changed.
When Margaret came out and saw this scene, she immediately slapped Tyler a few times and scolded, "Chatting so happily with a useless person, go to bed."
"By the way, Mom, I have something to tell you."
Mary suddenly said, glancing at William before continuing, "I've become the chairman of the company and now hold sixty percent of the shares."
The room fell silent.
Margaret could hardly believe her ears. Her face was full of excitement and urgency as she asked, "Chairman? Mary, are you joking? Your company is worth billions."
Mary nodded and explained the situation with the company. After she finished, Tyler fell silent and then said, "I understand. Your company is in trouble now, and they want you to take over as chairman. Although sixty percent of the shares is a lot, it doesn't mean much practically. You need to think it through. I've heard from many friends that if something goes wrong with the company, you'll be responsible."
Mary nodded and said, "I know, but this is also an opportunity. If the company can get through this crisis, I'll be the largest shareholder and have real power. I want to give it a try."
Mary said this while looking at William, clearly seeking his opinion.
William didn't say anything. He was still angry about what happened during the day.
Margaret didn't care about any of that. As soon as she heard "chairman," she was over the moon with excitement and said, "Mary, do you mean the company is yours now?"
Mary nodded and smiled.
Margaret was so excited she was practically floating. She quickly took out her phone and said, "No, no, I have to call Dorothy right now. She always brags about her daughter and son-in-law. Now it's my turn. My daughter has her own company."
"Dorothy, let me tell you something. Mary has her own company now. You know BK Pharmaceuticals, right? Mary is the chairman and holds sixty percent of the shares, worth billions..."
Margaret couldn't stop smiling and bragging.
Finally, she could hold her head high.
After that call, Margaret made another one, and she spent the whole evening calling almost all her relatives and friends, inviting them to a dinner to celebrate.
Mary felt headache and regretted saying it.
In the following days, Mary was busy with company matters. Orion Pharmaceuticals was the first to cooperate with BK Pharmaceuticals.
After that, several top domestic pharmaceutical companies came one after another. They all wanted to cooperate with BK Pharmaceuticals.
It scared Mary. These were all top ten pharmaceutical companies in the country, with immense financial and operational strength.
Moreover, they were all backed by a conglomerate, the Jones Group in Imperial City.
It could be said that with their cooperation, BK Pharmaceuticals would definitely get through this crisis.
Additionally, the Jones Group in Imperial City held a press conference, announcing a billion-dollar investment in BK Pharmaceuticals, which caused a huge stir in Lindwood City.
This news spread like wildfire in Lindwood City.
Especially when many people witnessed luxury cars arriving one after another, parking in front of the BK Pharmaceuticals building.
The people getting out of those cars were all big shots who could shake the entire domestic pharmaceutical industry with a single move.
It was truly shocking.
The news of BK Pharmaceuticals changing its executive chairman was also dug up.
Mary was thrust into the spotlight suddenly, She became a businesswoman who was admired by many and was even dubbed the "First Golden Flower" of Lindwood City's business community.
Mary became famous now.
Countless eyes were on BK Pharmaceuticals instantly. With the cooperation of the Jones Group in Imperial City, the future was limitless.
Many local pharmaceutical companies were also scrambling to seek cooperation opportunities with these industry giants.
Mary was incredibly busy these days. She never expected such a turnaround, with so many heavyweights in the pharmaceutical industry personally visiting to discuss cooperation.
Any one of these people was worth billions.
The Jones Group in Imperial City?
Mary had just seen off a big boss, and finally relaxed in the chairman's office, her mind racing.
Why did so many pharmaceutical companies suddenly come to BK Pharmaceuticals for cooperation?
Does the Jones Group have anything to do with William?
It seemed impossible!
If it were true, would William have endured three years of mistreatment in the Smith Family?
Mary racked her brain but couldn't figure out why the Jones Group in Imperial City, a top-tier family business in the country, would invest in BK Pharmaceuticals.
ith immense financial resources and powerful backing, it could influencethe economy of a small country!
Why would such a large group invest in BK Pharmaceuticals?
Mary couldn't understand.
At that moment, her phone rang.
Susan.
Why would she call?
"Ms. Smith, are you puzzled as to why the Jones Group in Imperial City would invest in little BK Pharmaceuticals?"
Susan's cold voice came from the other end of the line.
"What do you mean?" Mary frowned. She didn't like Susan.
Susan chuckled coldly and said, "I can tell you, the Jones Group in Imperial City is actually..."
