Chapter 270 I Hope You Keep Your Word!
Rick shot Tom a look.
"Poisonous? Seriously, man? Look at the herbs we swapped in. Which one of them could be toxic? Which one could cause any problems?"
Tom shook his head, conceding.
"You're right... all the herbs are mild. There's no way they're toxic."
He didn't push the issue further.
Tony Allen shrugged.
"Besides, if something does go wrong, we can just head back to Sunview City. There's no way she'd come after us."
The three exchanged glances and laughed. They were getting paid, and all the risk was on Fiona.
Fiona rushed to get the Phoenix Breath Pill approved by the relevant departments.
When the departments heard it was a product developed by the Central State Medical Academy, they either went through the motions or didn't bother to test it at all. They didn't even conduct clinical trials.
With two prestigious names backing it, plus the mayor's connections, the Federal Medical Bureau placed unconditional trust in Fiona.
Soon, Fiona had all the necessary approvals—Phoenix Breath Pill was ready for mass production and market launch.
Just before the launch, Rick and the others reminded her seriously:
"Ms. Fisher, there's something you need to know—we can't use the name of the Central State Medical Academy. We don't represent them."
Fiona was taken aback.
"But..."
"You should operate the Phoenix Breath Pill under the name of Hope Pharmaceutical. Don't tie us to the academy! If the academy finds out, no one will be able to handle the fallout."
"We're only providing technical support. Our names have nothing to do with it."
The three were quick to distance themselves.
Fiona was startled. She had planned to use the Central State Medical Academy's name for credibility, but now she realized it wouldn't work. She nodded in agreement.
With a hint of apology, she said, "But Dr. Parker, this is such a disservice to you three. You're the chief pharmacologists of my company, and you won't even get the chance to be seen."
The three of them laughed immediately—this was exactly what they wanted. If something went wrong, they could cut ties right away.
Phoenix Breath Pill was about to hit the market. The day of William's departure was drawing closer.
"Only three days left! Dad, have you prepared the fifty million dollars?" Jasmine asked eagerly.
To sever ties with William completely, she planned to give him fifty million dollars.
Eugene pulled out a bank card.
"Of course, it's ready!"
Jasmine bit her lip.
"I just hope Mom won't try to stop me... I haven't had the courage to tell her that William is leaving."
Eugene reassured her.
"She won't. She's completely disillusioned with William. Especially to ensure his future, she'll support you."
Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief, her face full of anticipation.
"Three days, hurry up! Why does this week feel like years?"
She just wanted William to leave as soon as possible—she couldn't wait another second.
At that moment, William came downstairs. Jasmine was about to speak, but he said calmly,
"Don't worry, I'll be gone in three days."
"Good! I hope you keep your word!"
Jasmine was thrilled—judging by William's attitude, he was likely to leave. Her only worry was that he might change his mind at the last minute.
Meanwhile, the Frostcrystal Grass was growing more vigorously, its medicinal power nourishing the entire herb garden.
The medicinal aura released by this top-tier herb was the best nourishment. Not only did the herbs benefit, but everyone in the Jones family, who were immersed in this environment daily, saw their health improve and all minor ailments disappear.
Even Cameron showed signs of rejuvenation, with a rosy complexion and vibrant energy.
One day, the Crimson Brothers, drawn by the rich scent of the Frostcrystal Grass, suddenly felt a surge of energy within them, breaking through a crucial meridian.
Both of them simultaneously advanced to the realm of Semi-Lord of Martial Arts!
