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


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


    million–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


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


    your authority? 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


    rights?” 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 Immortunol 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


    be 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


    rights!” Dustin said it in and clear.


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


    poisonous 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 Matt! 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


    in


    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 head vigorously.


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


    bothered 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


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


    sensed trouble. He wasn’t about to get himself involved. He did not expect Mr. Marcs to push the me


    on Julie.
