Roxanne sat in the cafe for some time before returning to the research institute.
The result of the discussion was slightly out of her expectations.
She was under the assumption that as the heir of the Damaris family, Jack would prioritize a patient''s
survival regardless of how much he cared about making a profit. Also, she assumed he could ept
the marketing strategy of increasing sales by reducing the financial gain margin.
To her surprise, Jack was very dissatisfied with the price she offered and even denied her the
opportunity to negotiate.
“How is it, Dr. Jarvis? When will Damaris Group resume the supply of medicinal herbs?” Linda
approached Roxanne the moment thetter stepped into the research institute.
Roxanne forced a smile and said to Linda in resignation, “I''m not making any headway for the moment.
Please dy the registration process as long as you can. As for the factory... If they are impatient, you
can offer them more money.”
Linda had served Roxanne for many years, so she could tell Roxanne was caught in a tight spot at that
moment by taking in her facial expression.
“I got it. I''ll handle these issues. However, our employees in charge of developing this medicine are
getting restless.”

Upon hearing that, Roxanne slightly knitted her brows in anxiety.
Most researchers at the research institute hoped that the sess of inventing that medicine could help
them make a living. Now that the medicine had been developed, and they could finally be rewarded
after the drug was marketed, the process was unfortunately stuck at the final phase.
At that instant, Roxanne couldn''t help but doubt herself. Is Jack right? Am I too naive to assume the
simplicity of this matter? Not everyone can regard a patient''s survival with utmost importance like me,
after all.
After contemting for a long while, Roxanne decided to stand firm on her original intention, so she
said to Linda in an undertone, “Pay their bonuses in advance using my name.”
Linda suddenly recalled something and asked, “Some time ago, Mr. Damaris also announced his will to
provide the employees with incentives from his own pocket. When he banks in the money—”
“Refund the amount to him,” Roxanne interjected without hesitation. This is the most critical moment
during our negotiation. I cannot allow Jack to have too many interactions with my employees. If he
knows we haven''t found a backup supplier for our medicinal herbs, he might even refuse to ept a
thirty-five percent share!
Linda hummed in agreement and turned around to execute Roxanne''s orders.
Roxanne stayed in her office alone and mulled over the discussion with Jack in the afternoon.
On her way back to the research institute, she couldn''t help but imagine how Lucian would''ve
responded if he had been the one to negotiate the terms with Jack. I reckon he must have some ways
to convince Jack to ept selling the medicinal herbs at that low price.
She repeatedly picked up her phone and ced it back down as she hesitated to seek guidance from
Lucian. However, she gave up on that thought ultimately after some careful ponderation.
She had decided to face Jack on her own because she wanted to assess how much she had learned
from Lucian throughout that period.
Roxanne felt Lucian must''ve believed in her capabilities, too, for allowing her to engage in the
discussion alone.
Only half a day had passed since my meeting with Jack turned south. I think I should give myself more
time. It''s not entirely impossible for me to resolve this issue on my own.
With that thought in her mind, Roxanne picked up the telephone on the office desk. Then, she started
contacting the medicinal herb suppliers that she had previously worked with and found their herbs''
quality eptable.
Unfortunately, the suppliers flinched when they listened to her stringent requirements for the medicinal
herbs'' standards. They even doubted the existence of the top-quality herbs mentioned by Roxanne.
