    Roxanne subconsciously nced at Lucian.


    He nodded at her.


    Shepletely rxed after receiving his affirmation. Then, she shared the result of their initial discussion earlier.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “This is my two cents. Damaris Group provided us with the medicinal herbs and distribution channel for this coboration.


    However, technology-wise, the credits belong almost entirely to the research institute. | can even say that the research institute is


    the real owner of this core technology in developing this new medicine. For this reason and considering our experiences working


    together with other groups, the profit should be divided into a twenty-eighty split. Our research institute will take therger portion


    of the earnings.”


    She was the person in charge of the research institute, after all. Although Roxanne wasn''t sufficiently familiar with that aspect,


    she stillmanded an extraordinary presence.


    A hint of admiration glinted in Lucian’s eyes as he listened to her speech and took in her serious demeanor.


    On the other hand, Jack thought his ears were ying tricks on him. He forced himself to keep up his elegant facade. “Excuse


    me. | didn’t hear you clearly. Ms. Jarvis, you were saying—"


    She reiterated calmly, “The research institute will take eighty percent of the profit from the sales of this medicine while Damaris


    Group owns the remaining twenty percent.”


    Jack couldn’t help but chuckle. “Are you kidding me, Ms. Jarvis? Is that all the profit you’re willing to share with us after Damaris


    Group contributed so much to this project?”


    Roxanne’s eyes shone with determination. “The Damaris family is a century-old prestigious family in the traditional medicine


    business, so you must be well aware of the rules in the pharmaceutical field. In fact,ing up with the core technology is the


    most important part of medical research and development. In the context of contribution, I’m confident our research institute


    poured in much more effort than Damaris Group.”


    Jack turned to nce at Lucian and swiftly wrapped his mind around the situation.


    Evidently, that was the result of their discussion earlier.


    “You''re such a humorous person, Ms. Jarvis. | came up with the idea in the first ce. Besides, Damaris Group had been


    providing the medicinal herbs used by the research institution for free. Now that you''ve invented the medicine, you''re turning


    your back on us, letting us take only a small part of the profit. If that’s the case, I’m afraid Damaris Group will have to cease this


    coboration with you.”


    His face darkened, and his tone was filled with the indifference of a businessman.


    Jack’s reaction was within their anticipation.


    Roxanne spoke in a gentler manner after sensing his fury. “Naturally, Damaris Group’s cooperation is crucial in the sess of


    inventing this medicine. If you aren’t satisfied with my initial offer, | can proffer you another five percent, totaling Damaris Group’s


    profit margin to twenty-five percent. That is the maximum extent of my sincerity.”


    He sneered out loud. “Aren’t you generous, Ms. Jarvis, offering me another five percent without hesitation? Do you think I''ll


    agree to this?”


    She replied, “There’s nothing | can do if you aren''t willing to ept the deal. | willpensate Damaris Group with three times


    the market price for all the medicinal herbs you have provided the research institute. As for the distribution channel, I''ll figure out


    an alternative.”


    She was implying her readiness to end their coboration as Jack had suggested.


    Jackughed in exasperation. “There isn’t any price on the market that can match the demand for the Damaris family’s medicinal


    herbs, as the herbs are only avable for the Damaris family’s internal use. | think you’re oversimplifying this matter, Ms. Jarvis.”


    Roxanne frowned. “In that case, you can proffer a price you think is fair, and I''ll ept it without any objection.”


    She felt a little uneasy after saying that, as Jack might very likely make a significant demand on the division of profit following her


    statement.


    “| think you haven''t gotten a clear picture of the circumstances, Mr. Damaris,” Lucian piped up.


    At the same time, he slightly leaned his body in Roxanne and Jack’s direction while shifting his cold gaze onto Jack.
