Chapter 197


    “Alright, alright. Let’s put all those behind us and talk business, shall we?” Matt stepped in to smooth thi


    ngs over. “Dustin, let’s be professional here. I’m really interested in thepany’s rights. Here’s a millio


    n–dor check. I’d like to buy an allocation for the rights.”


    “A million dors? Do you take me for a beggar? Dustin found it ridiculous.


    “Hey! Are you saying that a million dors is too little? Aren’t you getting greedy?” Julie protested indign


    antly.” Just because the Harmons‘ gave you a prescription form, you think that you can unt your a


    uthority? You only have authority because you are affiliated with the Harmons!”


    “Dustin, let’s cut to the chase. Name your price: how much will it take for you to give me thepany ri


    ghts?” Matt tried his best to stay calm.


    “No amount of money will be


    able to get you that. A person of your character is simply not qualified to obtain thepany rights for I


    mmortunol Dustin t–out rejected him.


    “What? You’re rejecting money?” Matt narrowed his eyes.


    “Well, it depends on the source of the money. Yourse from unsolicited sources, and I don’t like that


    .” Dustin turned his nose up at Matt’s offer.


    “Dustin! You’re going overboard!” Matt’s expression clouded over. “I’m giving way to you and letting go


    of past grudges, but you better not overstep your boundary and stand in the way of my money!”


    “That’s right! It’s your honor that Matt is interested in having thepany rights for Immortunol! Don’t b


    e ungrateful and shameless!” Julie boasted arrogantly.


    “Are you threatening me?” Dustin lifted a brow.


    “That depends on how you see it. It could be a piece of advice as much as


    it could be a threat!” Matt said in a low voice.


    “I don’t care if it’s advice or a threat. I stand by my words. No way in hell are you getting thepany ri


    ghts!” Dustin said it in and clear.


    “Rhys! Are you really hellbent on crossing me?” Matt gritted his teeth; his gaze was as cold and poison


    ous as


    a serpent’s.


    “So what if I cross you? Do you think I’d be afraid of you?” Dustin scoffed.


    “Alright then, just you wait!” Matt glowered at him before making his way out.


    “Rhys! What good will it do to burn bridges? You’re just lucky that you got the prescription form. Don’


    t get all cocky thinking you’re all that. You’re only making things difficult for yoursell by going against Ma


    tt! You despicable person! All you do is rely on others! Just you wail, Rhys! You’re going to get it!” Julie


    was just about to leave after she ran her mouth berating Dustin, when several police officers came in.


    “Are you Julie Amberson?” The leader asked.


    “So what if I am?” Julie shot them a dirty look.


    “We just received a report that you are in league with Morgan Finn and Harvey Marcs for selling drugs i


    n


    private. We have concrete evidence. You’ll need toe with us.”


    “Hey! What nonsense is that? When have I sold drugs in private?” Julie was terrified.


    “Still denying, are we? Harvey Marcs has just pointed you out as the mastermind!”


    “N–


    no way! That’s not possible! How could Harvey point me out? You must be mistaken!” Julie shook her h


    ead vigorously.

    “Come with us, and we’ll find out if we’re mistaken. Bring her away!” The leading officer could not be bo


    thered to waste more time with her. He gave the order to have Julie cuffed and brought away.


    “I’m innocent! This is an injustice! Matt! Save me, Matt!” Julie was utterly flustered. She cried out despe


    rately for help, but there was no one there to help her. Matt had hidden away the moment he sensed tro


    uble. He wasn’t about to get himself involved. He did not expect Mr. Marcs to push the me on Julie.
