Inside a teahouse in Slocmore.


    After hanging up the phone, Miranda’s enchanting and delicate face couldn’t help but reveal a sweet smile. Sitting across from her was Hazel, the beautiful chairwoman of Slocmore’s Hernd Biotech Pharmaceuticals and daughter of the city’s wealthiest person. During their previous meeting in Iylonio, the two women had reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Miranda’s visit to Slocmore this time was to discuss various aspects of their coboration in detail.


    Seeing the sweet smile that appeared on Miranda’s face after she finished her call, Hazel, who was also a beauty, couldn’t help but be captivated for a moment. “Miranda, who called you and made you smile so sweetly? Your husband?” she teased.


    The two women had be close friends andpanions by now, so Hazel yfully asked.


    “Yes! My husband, L. But mainly because I heard my daughter Nora’s voice, so I’m a little happy,” Miranda nodded, feeling Hazel’s teasing tone and blushing slightly.


    She wouldn’t admit that she was so happy because of L.


    “Hmph!” Hazel pouted, not exposing Miranda.


    After discussing and finalizing various aspects of their cooperation, the two women continued to chat and drink tea in the teahouse until evening. They then nned to find another ce to have dinner together.


    Meanwhile, in another location.


    Inside a building outside the downtown of Slocmore.


    This was the headquarters of the Medical Business Alliance of Corl Delta.


    In the room, Gilberto Carter, the person in charge of the Medical Business Alliance of Corl Delta, was having a conversation with a young man. Gilberto’s eye sockets were sunken, his hair turned gray, and he seemed to have aged more than ten years in a short time.


    The death of Xander, his only son, had greatly affected him. He never dreamed that asking Kevin, the young master of the secretive Willis family, to help his son deal with L would instead bring cmity upon his own son. It was Kevin, not L, who killed Xander. However, no matter how resentful he was, he didn’t dare to cause trouble with the secretive Willis family and could only bury his hatred deep inside.


    At the same time, he transferred his resentment onto L and Miranda’s family.


    If it weren’t for dealing with L and Miranda, he wouldn’t have sought Kevin’s help, and his son wouldn’t have died.


    “Frederick, is there something you want from me?” Gilberto asked the young man sitting across from him, unable to discern his emotions.


    If Miranda were present, she would instantly recognize this young man.


    He was none other than Frederick, the scum who was supposedly Miranda’s “first love.”


    Facing Frederick, Gilberto, who represented the business alliance, maintained a rtively polite attitude. After all, regardless of everything else, Frederick was the CEO of Typhoonpoint Biotech and had also joined the Medical Business Alliance of Corl Delta. Furthermore, Frederick had another important identity as Mrs. Brooks’ adoptive son.


    “Uncle Carter, I wonder if you’ve heard some news? Miranda, the Chairwoman of Ednd’s Lowe’s Pharmaceutical, hase to Slocmore these days and is currently discussing cooperation with Hazel from the Beckman family,” Frederick asked with a cold glint in his eyes.


    Upon hearing this, Gilberto raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”


    Upon hearing Miranda and Lowe’s Pharmaceutical, a hint of hatred shed in his eyes.


    “It seems you’re unaware. Uncle Carter, I heard that you have a grudge against Miranda and Lowe’s Pharmaceutical? She didn’t give Medical Business Alliance face and refused to join, right? The same goes for Hernd Biotech Pharmaceuticals founded by Hazel. These two women have unexpectedly joined forces. Tsk tsk…” Frederick insinuated in his words.


    Gilberto let out a cold snort upon hearing this. “Two despicable women!”


    Frederick saw the expression on Gilberto’s face and a sinister look shed in his eyes. “Uncle Carter, should we find a way to sabotage their cooperation?” Previously, while he was in Ednd, he had been humiliated during a business exchange, which fueled his deep hatred for L and Miranda. It was said that hatred arises from love, but in Frederick’s case, it was more of a covetous and possessive desire for Miranda. It could be said that Frederick couldn’t stand to see Miranda and Lowe’s Pharmaceutical seed.


    “Frederick, do you have any ideas?” Gilberto asked in a deep voice.


    Frederick’s eyes flickered as he exined his thoughts. After listening, Gilberto nodded without expressing agreement. In his heart, he felt it wasn’t enough. The pain of losing his son had made him bloodthirsty and filled with resentment.


    “Alright! Think about the specifics of how to implement it, and I’ll consider it,” Gilberto nodded.


    “Great! Uncle Carter, you should act quickly and don’t let Miranda and Hazel’s cooperation fully seed!” Frederick said.


    “Well, I’ll leave first! If you need anything, contact me anytime,” Frederick said.


    In his mind, he was still calcting. After sowing discord between Miranda and Hazel’s cooperation, perhaps there would be an opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation. If Typhoonpoint Pharmaceuticals could coborate with Lowe’s Pharmaceutical, maybe there was still a chance between him and Miranda…


    After Frederick left, Gilberto clenched his fist, his face filled with a sinister and ferocious expression. After a moment, a slim middle-aged man in a gray robe appeared in Gilberto’s office. The middle-aged man had a paleplexion and emitted an eerie aura, as if he had crawled out of a grave.


    “Yin Master, I’ll leave this matter to you!” Gilberto gritted his teeth.


    “I will make sure that Miranda and Hazel pay the price for my son’s death!”


    “Mr. Carter, leave it to me!”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “I guarantee that they won’t even know how they died!”


    The man in the gray robe chuckled evilly.


    In the evening…


    Because it was winter and the sky was overcast in Slocmore, it seemed like it was already dark after five o’clock. After Miranda and Hazel walked out of the teahouse, they didn’t return to the hotel with thepany employees who came with them but allowed them to freely explore Slocmore. Miranda herself got into Hazel’s Audi A8.


    After about ten minutes, while Hazel’s driver was waiting at a traffic light, the car came to a stop. In front of the Audi A8 was a small truck, with an SUV and a van on the left and rightnes, respectively. Coincidentally or not, all three vehicles started their engines very slowly.


    In an instant, the Audi A8 was blocked from the front and both sides.


    At that moment, a heavy cement tanker truck, emitting a terrifying roar, charged towards the A8 from behind.


    The truck showed no intention of stopping or slowing down.
