    Chapter 1614 The Reputation Of The Damaris Family


    Jack was still unperturbed despite Hector''s wrath. He said, “Grandpa, Dr. Jarvis was insistent about


    selling the new drug for a hundred and twenty per box. I''m afraid no one will ept that price because


    that will not be a profiting deal.”


    When Hector heard that, his vision went dark, and he nearly passed out from his anger.


    He did not expect the heir he handpicked to put such importance on profits.


    “Is the Damaris family short of that small amount of money?” the elderly man asked as he held his


    chest and gasped for air.


    Jack lowered his head and fell silent, but anyone could still tell what he was thinking about. He felt that


    thepany would end up making losses, so it was not worth working with Roxanne.


    A surge of disappointment washed over Hector as he looked at his grandson. “I chose you as the


    Damaris family''s heir because I thought you''d understand that the Damaris family''s reputation of a


    hundred years was made with the kindness of physicians, not the wealth of physicians.”


    Jack answered gloomily, “I understand.”


    Hector red at him again. “You do not! How many years has it been since the Damaris family develop


    a drug that can change many people''s lives? We were close to developing a good drug by working with


    Roxanne, but you messed it up!”


    At that point, the press conference had reached its end. Roxanne and the other two men had gone past


    the crowd of reporters with the bodyguards escorting them.


    Jack was still unperturbed despite Hector''s wrath. He said, “Grandpa, Dr. Jarvis was insistent about


    selling the new drug for a hundred and twenty per box. I''m afraid no one will ept that price because


    that will not be a profiting deal.”


    The coboration had been set in stone.


    Knowing that there was no way to turn the tables anymore, Hector gave up. He waved his hand


    dismissively and muttered, “Forget it. I think you''ve lost track of your initial aspiration. Set aside your


    task in managing Damaris Group and work in pro bono medical consultations instead to get back your


    original aspiration. I''ll get someone else to manage Damaris Group for now.”


    Jack''s heart lurched when he heard that, and he snapped his head upward to stare at Hector in


    disbelief.


    Damaris Group hase so far today because of my hard work, but now Grandpa is kicking me aside


    just like this? How can I just ept this? I haven''t even reached my goal yet!

    Suppressing the emotions bubbling in his chest, Jack lowered his head and apologized to Hector.


    “Grandpa, I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have made this decision on my own, but I''m sure there''s a way to


    reverse this situation with Dr. Jarvis. Let me have another talk with her.”


    Hector shook his head in disappointment. “It''s toote now. Didn''t you see that? The whole world now


    knows that Dr. Jarvis is working with Farwell Group and Queen Group.”


    The Damaris family no longer had anything to do with the new drug her research institute developed.


    All Hector could hope now was for the public not to know about how the Damaris family could not


    continue working with Roxanne because of conflicts in profit.


    If the news about that were to spread, the Damaris family''s reputation might suffer.


    “Close to a hundred types of medicinal herbs are involved in the new drug. There''s no way Roxanne


    could find recements for all of them. There must be at least a type that she hasn''t found a source for


    yet, so she''ll still have to work with Damaris Group!”


    Jack still refused to give up.


    Hector did not see a point in wasting his breath on his grandson, so he waved his hand tiredly and


    uttered, “I''m old now. I can''t lord over you anymore. Despite being the heir of a family of doctors, you


    see more value in money than in helping others. One day, you will end up falling from grace because of


    this.”


    With that, Hector went upstairs.


    Jack''s face clouded over.


    He''s right. He''s old now, so he can''t even tell wrong from right. The Damaris family is now on the


    pedestal of the medical field, worshipped by so many, but what use is that? It''s nothing but a title at the


    end of the day, and we even have to spend much money and time to maintain that name of ours with


    all those pro bono medical consultations. Eventually, the Damaris family will go bankrupt. The


    reputation of being kind isn''t something the Damaris family needs anymore. What the Damaris family


    needs is money. We need to make a profit!
