Chapter 642  Stephen had never experienced such an easy negotiation before .


    There was no hassle , no drawn out discussions- just a straight green light ; clearing the way without obstacles .


    Andrew stood and said , Well , if thats settled , well be on our way .


    He turned to Dn and added , Dn , keep an eye on things here with Stephen in the future .


    Dn nodded .


    Got it , Mr.


    Lloyd ! Stephen was ted .


    Thank you , Mr.


    Lloyd ! I knew something good was going to happen today Ive had this twitching in my eyelid since morning ! Dn raised a brow and teased , How do you know that wasnt a sign of bad luck ? Stephen chuckled .


    Same difference ! Good luck , bad luck theyre two sides of the same coin .


    I got both today , didnt I ? Andrew smirked in amusement .


    Businesspeople were always like this slick , adaptable , and sharp .


    Stephen had just been disciplined but was already smiling like nothing had happened .


    Nheless , Andrew understood why .


    Stephen saw a chance to cozy up to Jayrodales underground king and profit from the connection .


    Andrew did not take Stephens ttery too seriously .


    A pharmaceutical CEO had his uses , but people like him needed both the carrot and the stick .


    If you were too kind , they would get ahead of themselves and think they were untouchable .


    After personally escorting Andrew , Marcus , and Dn out , Stephen called someone to bandage his head before returning to his office with a cheerful grin .


    Aspen and Christina were still there , watching him with shock and disbelief .


    Aspen asked , Mr.


    Brunner , you just got beaten up , and youre still smiling ? Are you really going to let this go ? Stephen lit a cigarette , waved dismissively , and said , Its no big deal just a minor injury .


    Back when I was hustling to survive , I got beat up more times than I can count .


    Compared to that , this is nothing ! Aspen and Christina exchanged baffled looks .


    They could not believe the reasoning he just gave them .


    Getting beaten when you were struggling was one thing you had no choice .


    However , he was the head of Jayrodales pharmaceutical industry .


    Was it not humiliating to let someone p him around without retaliation ? Mr.


    Brunner , listen to me , Aspen insisted , her voice rising with frustration .


    Andrew is out of control ! If you rally the industry , you can take him down ! Aspen was like a rabid dog at this point .


    If there were even a shred of a chance to harm Andrew , she would seize it she would probably even try to rally some random street thug if she thought it might work .


    However , Stephen had had enough .


    Alright , thats enough .


    Getting hit was my business , not yours .


    Im notining , but you two sure have a lot to say about it .


    If theres nothing else , Ill have to ask you to leave .


    He made it clear he wanted them gone .


    He had important work to do Rhodes Corporation needed those medicines manufactured , and he was not about to waste time entertaining idle visitors .


    Christinas eyes widened in panic .


    But Mr.


    Brunner , what about our coboration ? Stephen shook his head firmly before she could finish .


    Sorry , Ms.


    Stevens .


    Our previous agreement is off the 1/2 Chapter 642  table .


    If Stevens Corporation wants to break into the pharmaceutical industry , youll have to find someone else to partner with .


    Glorious Pharmaceuticals wont be able to help you .


    Aspen and Christina were outraged .


    Why ? Aspen demanded , her voice trembling with fury .


    Mr.


    Brunner , we need an exnation !
