    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.


    “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. I 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 the


    larger 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. I 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. I 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, I 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 I can do if you aren’t willing to ept the deal. I 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.


    I 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.

    “I 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.
