Chapter 807 More Difficult
The moment she arrived at the research institute, she received a call from Jack. She schooled her
emotions and answered her phone. “Mr. Damaris, what can I do for you?”
Roxanne’s voice reminded him of the incidentst night. “Nothing really. I just want to seek your opinion
on something. Herbscape Group hopes you can take on the role of technical advisor for them. I think
you’re up for it, but what are your thoughts?”
Roxanne was stunned by the proposal. It took her a few seconds to agree with a smile. “Since it’s
something you and Herbscape Group want, I naturally won’t say no.”
Jack chuckled. “I’m d to hear that.” After discussing some details, both of them ended the call. When
Roxanne put her phone aside, an avnche of emotions descended upon her again.
ording to Jack, my assistance is crucial to the coboration between Damaris Group and
Herbscape Group. Now that I have agreed to take on the role of technical advisor, Lucian would
probably be angry with me again when he found out about it.
Realizing what was going through her mind, Roxanne put an end to such thoughts andughed self-
deprecatingly at herself.
The matter has been settled, and thepetition between Lucian and Jack has ended. Why would he
continue to be involved with me?
Meanwhile, Lucian didn’t return to Farwell Group. Instead, he drove straight to Queen Group to see
Jonathan, intending to discuss the matter rted to Herbscape Group with him.
Jonathan stood up and greeted Lucian with a nod when he saw him making his entrance. “I heard that
Herbscape Group has signed the contract with Damaris Groupst night. Our n to takeover
Herbscape Group has failed.”
Lucian took a seat opposite him, looking solemn. “Other than Herbscape Group, do you have your eye
on any other pharmaceuticalpanies?”
Since Jonathan’s expertise was in the medical industry, Lucian would usually seek out the former’s
opinion on such matters.
After pondering upon the question, Jonathan gave a helpless shrug. “In Horington, there’s no other
company I can think of other than Herbscape Group. That’s the onlypany that will bring us the
biggest benefit with a takeover.”
As soon as he said that, both their expressions turned grim.
Jonathan’s conclusion was that they had no other choice other than Herbscape Group.
However, now that thepany had signed a contract with Damaris Group, negotiating a takeover had
be significantly more difficult.
“If we fail to acquire Herbscape Group, our project will be put in a disadvantageous position,” Jonathan
said matter-of-factly.
Lucian nodded in understanding, then began to think of other ways.
They had spent a lot of time negotiating the contract uses with Herbscape Group before obtaining
thetter’s agreement.
Yet, Damaris Group swooping in suddenly had caused Herbscape Group to renege on the contract.

Now that Herbscape Group and Damaris Group had established a partnership that was well publicized,
the chances of acquiring the former were as good as none.
All of a sudden, Jonathan suggested, “Um… How about I get anotherpany to negotiate a
partnership with Damaris Group? We can learn about the price Herbscape Group asked for. Then, if we
lower our asking price, we may be able to induce Damaris Group into breaking the contract with
Herbscape Group, which will create an opening for us to continue negotiating the takeover. In fact, we
may even be able to do so at a lower price.”
In the event Herbscape Group was abandoned by Damaris Group, they could use it as a talking point.
Moreover, it was Herbscape Group that had reneged on the contract first. They were naturally in their
debt for doing so. If takeover talks were to be revived, Herbscape Group would definitely feel pressured
to give in.
Jonathan beamed with pride over his idea that was capable of killing two birds with one stone when he
finished.
