Chapter 186 Some Ability, But Not Much!
Manuel had long anticipated that Fiona would propose signing a contract.
He had already prepared fake seals and the like.
Moreover, Caspian, Lester, and Dean held no positions in the Merchants' Guild of Shadows, which meant they had no relation to the guild.
The signed contract had no legal effect and was completely invalid.
But Fiona didn't know any of this.
Knowing her identity, the other party made her anxious, and she didn't think much about it.
She repeatedly examined the contract and, after confirming there were no issues, signed it.
The contract itself was fine.
But the people who signed it were not from the Merchants' Guild of Shadows!
Fiona didn't know this and couldn't find out.
Although the seal was identical, it wasn't the one used by the Merchants' Guild of Shadows!
It was fake!
This was also why Manuel didn't go in person. As the vice president of the Merchants' Guild of Shadows, his signature would have made the contract valid.
A cold smile appeared on Manuel's face. "Fiona actually tried to negotiate terms with me!"
"By the way, Manuel, we can't verify if this ancient prescription is real!"
Manuel smiled. "No worries! I'll just take a trip to The Jones Manor to find out."
"Manuel, you're here! Please come in!"
Manuel arrived at The Jones Manor and was warmly welcomed!
Manuel was the only person in Starlight City that the Jones family valued.
"Manuel, it's been a long time since you last visited."
Even Cameron had to show respect.
Back then, they almost arranged a marriage between Manuel and Amelia.
After all, in the eyes of the Jones family, Manuel was the only one in Starlight City worthy of Amelia!
"Mr. Jones, my grandfather often asks about you..."
Manuel exchanged pleasantries.
"Amelia is becoming more beautiful, and I heard your medical skills are improving rapidly..."
Seeing Amelia, he didn't hesitate to praise her.
But Amelia responded coldly and turned her head to continue her work.
Amelia's cold response left Manuel very surprised.
She wasn't like this before.
She used to admire and even adore him, surrounding him with enthusiasm whenever they met.
It's only been a month since they last saw each other, right?
What happened?
Previously, Manuel was the man Amelia admired most in Starlight City.
But after William appeared, Manuel became worthless!
Indeed, people shouldn't be compared!
She didn't even have the interest to look at Manuel a second time.
"Manuel, is there something you need?" Cameron asked.
Manuel didn't think much and immediately took out something. "Mr. Jones, I obtained the three major ancient prescriptions from Hope Pharmaceutical. Can you check if they're real?"
"The three major ancient prescriptions?"
Cameron staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Amelia and Darren both turned their gazes over.
Those belonged to William!
That was the bottom line!
Something others dared not touch lightly!
Seeing their surprised expressions, Manuel felt quite proud.
Even Amelia must be admiring him now, right?
"How did you get them?" Darren asked, trembling.
"I found out that no one supports Hope Pharmaceutical from behind. The owner of Hope Pharmaceutical is Fiona. I used a fake contract to trick her into giving me the three major ancient prescriptions!" Manuel said proudly.
Cameron and the others were shocked.
Manuel had some ability.
But not much.
He actually found out that Fiona was the real owner of Hope Pharmaceutical!
But he didn't know William's identity!
"You are really something, daring to trick Hope Pharmaceutical's ancient prescriptions?" Amelia said in surprise.
But in Manuel's eyes, Amelia was admiring him.
"Just a small matter, a common trick in business!"
Manuel even detailed how he tricked the ancient prescriptions out of Fiona.
