    26: Chapter 026: A Dead End!


    After Ss Jordan entered the office, he casually closed the door.


    He smiled and said, “Julia, I thought we were friends.


    Are you not happy to see me?”


    “I’m not your friend!”


    Julia Stewart’s face was full of frost, and she coldly said, “I don’t wee you here; please leave!”


    “Saying this…


    you’re really hurting my feelings.”


    Ss Jordan pretended to be heartbroken and shook his head before walking straight to the office desk.


    He ced his hands on the desk and leaned forward slightly, saying, “Julia, I think we need to have a talk.”


    Julia responded in a deep voice, “We have nothing to talk about.”


    Julia’s cold words made Ss uneasy.


    He tried to suppress his anger and said, “Julia, you must know that yourpany is in a bad situation now.


    For the past several months, the sales of yourpany’s products have plummeted.


    If this continues, yourpany will inevitably face serious trouble.”


    “So what?”


    Julia looked into Ss’ eyes and coldly responded, “Your Prosperity Pharmaceutical only temporarily took over the market.


    Once East Beauty Pharmaceuticals produces better products, we’ll definitely reim the market.”


    “Really?”


    Ss chuckled lightly and said, “I won’t hide it from you.


    The reason we can produce such popr products is because we bought a beauty secret recipe from an ancient medical family in Kyoto.


    The products we produce using this secret recipe cannot be matched by any other biological pharmaceuticalpany in River City.


    Unless you can get a better secret recipe, you won’t stand a chance against Prosperity Pharmaceutical.”


    Upon hearing this, Julia was suddenly startled!


    No wonder Prosperity Pharmaceutical could produce such popr products!


    So that’s how it was!


    Those ancient medical families in Kyoto were all giants, not at all on the same level as local ones!


    She had considered contacting Kyoto’s ancient medical families to buy secret recipes before, but they wouldn’t even entertain her!


    But she never thought that the Jordan Family could connect with Kyoto’s ancient medical families!


    This was going to be difficult!


    Ss continued, “Julia, I know you’ve been in contact with the Chaplin Family from Arthur City.


    They’re nning to sell you a beauty secret recipe, right?”


    Julia’s face changed, “How did you know?!”


    “There’s nothing in River City that I don’t know about.”


    Ss replied with an arrogant look, continuing, “To be honest, Julia, the Arthur City Chaplin Family is no match for that ancient Kyoto family.


    The beauty secret recipe provided by the Chaplin Family also won’t be better than the one provided by the ancient Kyoto family.


    So even if you buy their secret recipe, you still won’t be able to beat Prosperity Pharmaceutical.”


    Ss’ words were like a basin of cold water, making Julia feel utterly chilled.


    If everything he said was true, then even if she bought the Chaplin Family’s secret recipe and produced a new product, she would still be unable to take back the market.


    She had finally achieved cooperation with the Chaplin family; could it all be in vain?


    Seeing Julia’s changing expressions, Ss’ smile deepened.


    Julia Stewart, weren’t you always aloof and frosty towards everyone?


    What he wanted was this effect, to make her feelpletely desperate and dependent on him!


    Ss sighed and said, “Julia, we could actually be partners instead ofpetitors.”


    “What do you mean?”


    Julia couldn’t help but clench her fists.


    Ss smiled and said, “As long as you break off your engagement with Lionel Yeager and marry me, I’ll naturally share the secret recipe with you.


    After all, you would be my wife.


    I wouldn’t treat you unfairly.


    If our two families cooperate and develop new products together, we can easily upy the entire cosmetics market in River City.


    Moreover, in the future, I’ll continue to buy new secret recipes from the ancient medical family to produce new products.


    By then, we can expand beyond River City, upy markets in other cities, and even the whole nation.


    Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”


    Ss’ words did make Julia a little tempted.


    After all, East Beauty Pharmaceuticals was founded by herself.


    Her wish was to lead East Beauty Pharmaceuticals out of River City, making the brand known throughout the entire nation, and even the world.


    However, she was unwilling to marry Ss.


    She knew him all too well.


    This guy’s private life was extremely debauched, and he would try to get his hands on any woman he took an interest in.


    Many women had been impregnated by him in the past, only for him to pay them off.


    There were even several women who jumped off buildings because of him, but all those incidents were suppressed by the Jordan Family.


    She would never agree to marry such a disgusting guy, not even if it killed her.


    Julia took a deep breath and said, “Ss, I’m already engaged, and my fiancé is Lionel Yeager.


    So, I can’t marry you; give up on that idea.”


    “Why?”


    Ss clenched his teeth, asking, “In what way am I inferior to that kid from the mountains?


    Aside from having some medical skills and being good at martial arts, how is he better than me?


    He has no money and power; he’s no match for me!”


    Julia replied, “Although Lionel has no money and power right now, he will surely be outstanding in the future and rise to the top, admired by everyone!”


    Even though her grandfather had told her this, she increasingly felt that Lionel was no ordinary person after spending a few days with him.


    Perhaps Lionel would indeed be a dragon among men in the future, just as her grandfather had said.


    “With that kid’s abilities, he dreams of bing outstanding and skyrocketing to the top?”


    Ss sneered, “Fine, let’s assume that he might indeed be outstanding one day, but can he survive until then?


    He has angered the people at East Union, and he’s now destined to die!”


    Julia gritted her teeth, “With the Stewart Family at his side, we won’t let East Union touch a single hair on him!”


    “Heh…”


    Ss chuckled lightly and said, “The East Union is backed by the South Protection King.


    Do you really think the Stewart Family can protect him?


    You should know how powerful the South Protection King is!


    Even if all the families of River City joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to fight against him!


    So, I advise you to cut ties with him as soon as possible, lest he drags your family down with him!”


    “Enough!”


    Julia shouted and stood up, “The affairs of my family are none of your business!


    I won’t break off my engagement with Lionel!


    Now get out of here!”


    “Damn it!”


    Ss’ face was annoyed, and he angrily adjusted his tie.


    His eyes were bloodshot, and he dropped all pretense as he approached Julia, step by step.


    “What do you want?


    Don’te any closer!”


    Julia’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly retreated.
