Chapter 186 Conspiracy


    After all, the things they were going to discuss were somewhat shady, so they met in a private room at a coffee shop.


    Once inside the room, Marigold looked around anxiously while Ambrose reassured her. "Don''t worry, Mrs. Marigold. Then surveince in this coffee shop and the surrounding area for several kilometers is not working today. Our meeting today will remain a secret if we don''t tell others."


    Marigold asked, "Why are you being so mysterious? What do you want to talk to me about?"


    Ambrose didn''t immediately respond. Instead, he leisurely sipped his coffee.


    "I know about the past between you and Sten Storm, as well as your current troubles. I also have a significant problem now. If we want to solve our issues, we must cooperate."


    Upon hearing Ambrose''s words, Marigold felt panic and asked, "How do you know about my past with Sten Storm? Did Sten tell you?"


    She couldn''t believe that Ambrose knew about her past as Marigold Rogers, who helped Sten have children for ric, a fact that even ric himself was unaware of.


    "I guessed," Ambrose replied truthfully.


    "You guessed?" It was clear that Marigold didn''t believe him.


    "Of course, I guessed," Ambrose exined. "As I mentioned earlier, I am Sten''s ex-boyfriend, not her current one. How could she have told me about her past? When I came back to find Sten, I heard that she had already passed away. Now that I''ve met her again, she is alone with two children and has changed her name."


    "Then I saw Caspian, who looks exactly like Harry, so it was easy to guess."


    After Ambrose finished speaking, Marigold was speechless.


    Indeed, Ambrose had guessed correctly.


    "Now that you''ve guessed correctly and understand the situation, what do you propose?"


    "Mrs. Marigold, I know that you only want children back and not Sten. On the contrary, I only want Sten. If we cooperate, we can both get what we want. Isn''t that a win-win situation?"


    "Easy for you to say. You''re just Sten''s ex-boyfriend. How could she possibly reconcile with you? Besides..." Marigold''s pride and disdain were evident in her eyes, "any fool would choose ric over you. How can youpare to my son?" Upon hearing this, Ambrose clenched his fists in frustration.


    He couldn''tpare to ric?


    ric was just a sickly child, while he was clearly superior to ric in every way.


    Ambrose smiled wryly and said, "I came here today with a solution to help alleviate Mrs. Marigold''s current troubles. It seems you don''t believe me, so let''s just forget about today. Pretend I was never here."


    With that, Ambrose stood up to leave. Seeing him about to go, Marigold hurriedly said, "Wait."


    Marigold was deeply troubled by the situation and couldn''t think of any other solutions. Since Ambrose imed to have a solution, she was willing to listen.


    "What solution do you have? Tell me first."


    In response, Ambrose smirked and sat back down.


    Gtea returned to Nexus Innovations, where ric was still busy.


    ''His spirits are up today, and with all this work to do, let''s keep him busy for a while.'' Gtea thought.


    Gtea went back to the lounge, where the quiet environment always led her to deep contemtion.


    She reopened the post she anonymously made to find Marigold Rogers. Initially, there seemed to be some progress, but now it was as if everything hade to a standstill.


    "My son, you must wait for mommy. Mommy will find you," Gtea whispered to herself.


    Just as she finished that thought, her phone rang, and it was Josep calling.


    "Hello, Josep Watkins."


    "Gtea, did you use the treatment n I showed you on your friend?" Josep Watkins inquired.


    "I did. He just had the first injection and is nning for the second one tomorrow. But he had a strong reaction to the first one and was bedridden for two days."


    Gtea had also considered calling Josep but was hesitant not to bother him. Since Josep called to ask, she decided to share the update.


    "Josep, do you have a more refined treatment method to make it easier for him?"


    "Feelingpassionate now?"


    At Josep''s teasing remark, Gtea couldn''t help but smile wryly. "Josep, please don''t tease me."


    "Alright, no more jokes. Let''s talk business," Josep said, "Our institute has been researching a capsule recently. We justpleted a rat experiment for it, and while it needs some adjustments, if sessful, this capsule will be very effective for your friend''s condition."


    "Really?" Gtea''s eyes lit up at the news. "If a simple pill can cure him, that would be amazing. When do you expect this capsule to be ready for development?"


    "You seem excited. This is a specialized medicine forplex conditions. Developing it isn''t easy. The adjustments I mentioned are quite challenging."


    Upon hearing this, Gtea''s enthusiasm waned. It was true that developing a new drug required meticulous experimentation and precise ingredient ratios, and any slight deviation in efficacy would be difficult to adjust.


    "So, by calling me, are you giving me hope only to take it away?"


    "Gtea, are you ming me?"


    "I wouldn''t dare."


    "I called to inform you about this, hoping you''d return to your roots. The currentposition and ratios of this capsule will be sent to you shortly. You have yourclinic now, so setting up ab shouldn''t be difficult for you. Look into it and figure out what adjustments need to be made with these ingredients."


    "Me?" Gtea replied,cking confidence.


    "You were the top graduate of the American Medical Research Institute for five years and had the highest admission scores in nearly twenty years. You can do it. Your friend''s recovery depends on you."


    Gtea felt the weight of responsibility upon her.


    Josep instructed, "Until the research is sessful, continue his treatment as usual."


    "I see."


    After the call, Josep sent the form for the drug to Gtea, who began her research.


    As Gtea pondered how to adjust the proportions of these ingredients, she was so engrossed that she didn''t notice ric entering the room behind her.
