She glanced at Bernard and said, “Get her an aspirin.”
Melody had given a clear instruction.
Bernard, reluctant but obedient, tossed an aspirin to Derrick for Suzanna to take.
Watching the calmness of her actions only added to Suzanna’s anxiety.
She had no choice but to swallow the aspirin: she wasn’t ready to die yet.
Once she took the aspirin, Suzanna felt some relief. Her lashes fluttered, and soon she could no longer hold back the tears, sobbing in Derrick’s embrace.
Derrick, fresh from a fight with Kenrick. A normally sharp–dressed professional now bore bruises that reflected his terrible mood.
His younger sister leaned into him, crying uncontrollably.
For some reason, the concern and sympathy he should have felt was transformed into a wave of irritation.
It lodged in his chest: stubborn and unshakeable, it stayed there.
The sound of his sister’s crying only deepened his agitation.
He looked over at Melody, who stood poised. Her expression was cool and indifferent. It was a stark contrast to Suzanna’s pitiful display.
For reasons he couldn’t pinpoint, Derrick found himself appreciating the calm strength in Melody’s demeanor,
“Thank you, Mel, he said, grateful for the aspirin she lud provided for Suzanna.
But Melody merely cast a dispassionate glance his way and shrugged it off.
“Now that Ms. Shield is fine, it’s time to settle our accounts, she announced.
“Mr. Derrick and Ms. Suzanna have made defamatory claims against YM Cosmetics. The evidence is lacking, but we do have witnesses.
“As the founder of YM Cosmetics, I take this matter seriously, especially regarding skin issues.
“I had brought in the main research team behind YM Cosmetics to demonstrate the process of extracting their all–natural products right in front of everyone. We will also allow the public to witness whether the ingredients in YM Cosmetics can actually harm skin or stimulate cellular repair”
As she finished speaking, a group of people in lab coats entered the room, predominantly women, all wearing masks.
Their name badges read “Pharma821
Pharma821 was a name even a stray dog wandering the streets of Sommerville would recognize.

Their reputation resonated throughout the city, and their main research facility was located right within Greenfield University.
No matter how many branches they opened elsewhere, the core team at Pharma821 comprised the brightest graduates and professors from the university
Their fame grew not only because of the exceptional quality of their biopharmaceutical products but also because their medications often fetched astronomical prices, available only to the upper echelons of society.
Melanie was a leading socialite that poured substantial funds into Pharma821’s skincare line every year, but the glamour surrounding it was merely superficial.
Pharma821 existed not just for a handful of researchers; Melody learned that from the seemingly unreliable old man Jacob.
They specialized in biopharmaceutical research, which required immense financial investment.
The country needed to develop. While research funding was considerable, the demands for disaster relief and infrastructure development were even greater.
Thus, Pharma821 appeared to cater solely to Sommerville’s wealthy elite, selling incredibly precious products at sky–high prices.
In truth, the profits they earned not only funded their research center but also regularly contributed to poverty alleviation initiatives in the mountains and the establishment of schools.
Despite their many charitable efforts, their reputation suffered as they were labeled as lapdogs of the rich.
Their arrival sparked excitement among the guests at the tea banquet.
“Wait! Pharma821 is actually the company behind Melody’s product. Wow, let’s get some!”
“Unbelievable, just unbelievable! I have missed out on a great opportunity.”
“Of course, she’s a genius from Greenfield University–no wonder she’s collaborating with Pharma8211”
At that moment, a woman in a lab coat approached Melody, her posture regal and commanding.
At that moment, a woman in a white lab coat approached Melody. She stood with an air of cool confidence, her eyes gentle and seeming to see right through everything. Her skin was flawless, exuding a beauty that felt almost sacred, making it hard to look away.
She was a cold and aloof alpha female, standing out from the crowd.
She approached Melody, suddenly leaning in to gently squeeze her soft cheeks, her voice laced with a playful sweetness.
Bae, why are you still so sweet and adorable? I’ve missed you so much!
“Come on, don’t be shy! Give me a kiss!”
Edward stood to the stre
bewildered. “What just happened?”
