Chapter 325
Before Joaquin finished his words, Ben cut him off and agreed, "Sure. I got it. I''ll keep tabs on them, so
don''t worry."
Joaquin smiled and uttered, "Thanks, buddy."
"It sounds like we are not best buddies when you say that. In addition, I''ve never heard you express
gratitude for my assistance in the past." Ben felt awkward after hearing Joaquin''s courtesy, so he
muttered something and hung up. Meanwhile, he couldn''t help but notice that Joaquin''s marriage had
made him kinder.

When Mason learned that Celestial Cosmeceutical had rejected his proposal for cooperation, his face
immediately darkened.
"It''s only a small and trashypany that has been established. How could they be so arrogant and
shameless as to act rudely to us?" As Moran Corporation''s general manager, William was involved in
the matter. At that moment, he was sitting in Mason''s office and throwing a tantrum out of discontent.

Mason took a sideways nce at him and looked displeased. "How old are you? Why are you still so
easily irritated?"
Nheless, William was displeased to hear that, so he pouted and argued, "It''s because I''m worried
for Moran Corporation!"
"Is worrying going to solve the problem? What can you aplish by throwing a tantrum? You are
already an adult, so why can you not learn what I teach you?"
Seeing that he was about to get lectured again, William surrendered. "Okay, Dad. You''re right.
Everything you say is correct, but now is not the time to criticize me. The most important thing now is
how to get Celestial Cosmeceuticals form. I''ve already spread the word, so everybody knows we''re
entering the cosmeceutical market. If our initial presentation does not go as nned, it will embarrass
the entire Moran Family."
Mason was calm before he spoke, but afterward, he became enraged and threw a random document at
William''s head. "What am I to say about you? Look at what you did. This matter has yet to be
confirmed, yet you have already spread the word! As far as I''m concerned, you''re out to infuriate me to
the point of no return! Everyone''s attention is now on us, so it would be a huge embarrassment if we
failed to deliver!"
On the other hand, William evaded the document while appearing unconcerned about the matter. "Dad,
you''re being too pessimistic. Why would we be unable to deliver what we promised? There''s nothing
ourpany can''t do. Moreover, Celestial Cosmeceutical is nothing, so what right do they have to
reject Moran Corporation? Since they rejected us when we politely asked for their cooperation, we''ll do
it by force. We need to let them know how powerful we are! I''m sure that once they''ve suffered some
difficulties, they won''t dare to reject us again!"
Before Joequin finished his words, Ben cut him off end egreed, "Sure. I got it. I''ll keep tebs on them, so
don''t worry."
Joequin smiled end uttered, "Thenks, buddy."
"It sounds like we ere not best buddies when you sey thet. In eddition, I''ve never heerd you express
gretitude for my essistence in the pest." Ben felt ewkwerd efter heering Joequin''s courtesy, so he
muttered something end hung up. Meenwhile, he couldn''t help but notice thet Joequin''s merriege hed

William''s words coincidentally mirrored Mason''s thoughts. After considering it, Mason instructed his
son, "I''m going to trust you with this, but please don''t make any more trouble for me! Do you hear me?"
William immediately responded, and his eyes narrowed as he mentally devised a strategy to deal with
Celestial Cosmeceutical.
…
Two dayster, Katherine still had note out from the testboratory. It turned out to be more
difficult than she had anticipated finding a way to counteract the poison produced by the mother insect.
As she had a unique physique, it was easy for her to deal with the poison, but if it were another
person''s physique, the method she used might not work on them. However, she did not make much
progress after researching nonstop for two days and getting little sleep. On the third day, the new
antidote she had formted began to have an effect, and she felt a modicum of relief.
When Katherine exited the testboratory and saw Joaquin waiting for her, she felt like a weight had
been lifted from her shoulders. With this antidote, Keith will be saved.
While looking at her expression, he immediately guessed the oue of her research. So, he smiled
as he approached her and took her hand. "Let''s go. Keith has been waiting for quite some time."
Katherine was stunned as soon as she heard those words, and she looked at Joaquin with
astonishment. "Are you saying—"
Then, he smiled and nodded. "Yes, Keith''s awake."
At that moment, she blinked her eyes, not knowing how to respond. It took her a minute to process the
situation, but once she did, she grabbed his hand and silently led him out the door. Although her
expression remained unchanged, her anxiousness was evident in her footsteps.
When observing her anxiety, he felt highly distressed. Joaquin knew Katherine had always been a calm
and collected person who could face any challenge, even when Noah''s condition had rpsed several
times. Perhaps, it was because her grandma''s passing had given her a huge blow, causing her to be
more sensitive to the pain of losing a loved one. Consequently, she would be unable to maintain her
composure when confronted with a situation in which her beloved was on the verge of death and
instead felt shocked and worried.
After entering the vehicle, he looked at her, but she did not understand why he was staring and urged,
"What are you waiting for? Drive. We need to get to the hospital as soon as possible."
Then, Joaquin arched his brow with his lips slightly hooked. Without a word, he leaned over, grabbed
the seatbelt, and fastened it for Katherine.
After fastening her seatbelt, he did not move away from her but instead leaned closer and whispered,
"Mr. Morris is keeping an eye on him at the hospital. Furthermore, Keith''s condition is quite stable, so
don''t worry. Not to mention, didn''t I already tell you? Keith, like you, is a fighter, so he''ll make it."
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Then, she nced at his face, which was mere inches
away, and lightly pursed her lips before responding with a hum.
Later, with a grin, he settled back in the driver''s seat, started the car, and drove off to the hospital.
Twenty minutester, both of them arrived at their destination. Katherine jumped out of the car and ran
straight for the patient ward without waiting for Joaquin.
Soon, she was standing before Keith''s ward. She peered through the door''s ss panel and saw him
sleeping on the bed, half awake. He was still noticeably skinny, but his eyes sparkled with optimism. At
that moment, she felt a warm sensation in her chest, but she maintained aposed expression as
she opened the door and walked inside.
"Kathy—" When Keith heard a noiseing from the door, he struggled to turn his head to look at it.
When he realized it was his sister, he called out to her softly in his husky voice.
With no words, Katherine approached him, stared at him, and finally said, "I''ve told you to be more
careful while in Kynd. Why don''t you listen to me? If you disobey me again, I''ll punish you." Though
they were words of reproach, her tone didn''t have the slightest reproach.
Knowing she was worried about him, he forced a reassuring smile. "Kathy, I''m fine. It''s only… a minor
illness. It can''t… do anything to me." He sounded breathless when he spoke because he was still weak
and had been lying in bed for several days.
Katherine red at him and spoke disapprovingly. "Alright. Stop trying to talk. I''ve found a way to save
you, and you''ll recover after two days. We''ll settle our scores once you''re all healed."
After saying that, she turned to Tyler and thanked him sincerely. "Mr. Morris, thank you for taking care
of my brother all this while."
He waved his hand in response but was more concerned about the antidote. "Have you really found a
way to cure him?"
