Chapter 50
Estelle lifted her head and asked, “Is there something wrong?”
Seeing that she’d noticed her, Madison said apologetically, “Sorry, am I bothering you?“”
Estelle shook her head. “Did something happen?”
Madison sat beside her and sighed.
“n“s the herbs again. Mr. Glover gave us what we asked for, but the quality isn’t what we specified. The other suppliers are all…” She trailed off, carefully watching Estelle She didn’t dare finish her sentence.
She hadn I expected them to be this unreasonable. Although manufacturing the cancer treatment drug was easy for them now, the drug’s efficacy still fell short of their expectations.
Madison felt her gullt rising by the second.
She slapped her forehead. “I’m so useless. I can’t even get this small thing right.“‘
Estelle held her hands and tried to comfort her.
“It’s not your fault. Someone’s deliberately stopping us from reaching our goals,” she said softly.
Madison’s eyes widened.
“It must be Dillon ”
Estelle went silent at the name but then shook her head. “This isn’t Dillon’s style. It feels more like Timothy.”
At the mention of Timothy, Madison looked disgusted, like she’d swallowed a fly.
“You mean Alison’s ass–disser? You think he’s capable of this?”
Estelle let out a bitter laugh
“Timothy’s a Sawford. And Alison’s been relying on Dillon’s power to get her way all these years. With him always hanging out with her, he has also learned how to abuse his authority.
“They’re both really good at that now,”
Madison was impulsed.
“It’s a shame they’re not together. With personalities like that, they’d be perfect for each other.”
A trace of merace flashed in Estelle’s eyes. If they wanted to cause trouble, they’d better be ready to face the consequences.
She took out her phone and opened her altemate WhatsApp account, a playful smile forming on her lips.
Madison cought sight of her expression and was stunnL
“Stella, you should sulle more. You look so pretty when you smile.”
Hearing that, Estelle imediately put on a stemtace.
“Alright, enough with your sweet talk Why don’t you malor a batch of the drug using Mr. Glover’s
artby? That way, we’ll have leverage when we discontinue our contract with him.”
“Discontinue the contract?” Madison’s eyes widened, and her voice rose. “Are you serious? But if we do that, we won’t have a better supplier. How are we supposed
“I have a plan ”
She emailed cunningly
It lud been a widle since she’d stepped into the field. This was the perfect opportunity.
she wondered if any stories about her still circulated in the field.
That night, word spread far and wide that the renowned collector Alex would be appearing at the auction.
Al the Waverly Loup building, Lance Sterling of the Sterling family was meeting with Dillon, holding an invitation in his hand,
Lance sat on the sofa with his legatossed and budy leasing lazily back
“Mr Waverly, are you really sitting this one out?”
Dillon tooled up slowly and glanced at the man, who snuled like a culo fox.
Langer let out a sigh
“Why say such cold words with that inelodic voice of yours? At first, I thought if you were going. I might share some news about Estelle. But it seems thai.. Dilluns down the pen in his hand and fixed his gaze on him it was a signal for him to get to the point, but Lance chose to leave things hanging “Mr. Waverly, I’ll be waiting
Then he stood, placed the invitation in front of pillon, and his cakedating gase turned playful
“Don’t worry The news I’ve got will definitely be worth your
Without another word, he set the auction list down in front of Dillon and flipped to one
ar of the pages.
