Second Marriage to Mr. Rich

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fletcher. Our founder has just returned to Krontos. That's why Mr. Reilly had to cancel his appointment abruptly." Wesley smiled while taking off his suit and sat beside Ned.

"The founder of Vitality Biotech Group?" Ned passed the glass of wine to Wesley. "Are they here for our collaboration?"

Wesley shook his head. "I don't know. Mr. Reilly didn't say anything, but I guess so!"

"I wonder if I have the pleasure to have a meal with the founder of Vitality Biotech Group," Ned asked with a smile.

"I'll talk to Mr. Reilly about this!" Wesley replied. "But Mr. Reilly mentioned before the founder is obsessed with laboratory work. Mr. Reilly and Mr. Burns of the Yurope Division usually manage the company matters. I'm unsure if the founder would agree to meet with you."

Ned looked surprised. "Based on what you said, haven't you met the founder before?"

Wesley nodded. "Of course not! A small fry like me will never get the chance to meet them! I believe only Mr. Reilly and Mr. Burns have personally met the founder in all Vitality Biotech Group."

As if in deep thought, Ned slowly nodded before clinking his wine with Wesley.

After Ned took a sip of the wine, Wesley's phone rang. He quickly picked it up and said, "Hello, Mr. Reilly. Yes, I'm with Mr. Fletcher right now."

Ned heard his name and looked at Wesley.

"Yeah... What? Okay, I'll let Mr. Fletcher know!" Wesley hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Ned asked.

"Mr. Fletcher, did Fletcher Corporation work with Yates Group for our project?" Wesley asked.

"Yes, we did. We collaborated because the deadline of the project was too tight. Plus, the contract didn't mention we aren't allowed to collaborate with Yates Group!" Ned put down his wine glass. "But something went wrong with Yates Group. So in the end, Fletcher Corporation finished the project ourselves."

"Well, are you aware that Tommy of Yates Group sold Vitality Biotech Group's formula?" Wesley asked.

Ned clenched his fist, his gaze grew more intense. "Quit joking, Mr. Bowman."

Wesley handed his phone to Ned and showed him a video on WhatsApp where Tommy handed the formula to Billy.

Ned stood up in shock while clenching the phone.

Wesley stood up and said, "Mr.

Fletcher, I'm sure you knew we had signed an NDA for Vitality Biotech Group's formula. But now that the formula has leaked, we must file a police report.

"Well, who knows if our founder had already called the police."

"I'll find out what happened, Mr. Bowman!" Ned returned the phone to Wesley and grabbed his suit before leaving the restaurant.

Ned tried calling Tommy as he got in his car, but no one picked up.

With trembling hands, Ned called Ingrid, and she answered the call not long after.

"Hello, Ned. How did you know I just finished filming? Did you call me because you missed me, babe?"

"Where's Tommy?" Ned asked in a deep tone.

Ingrid was stunned. "What's wrong, Ned? Did Tommy do something wrong again?"

"Did you know Tommy gave Vitality

Biotech Group's formula to the casino as a pledge?" Ned raised his voice. "They had signed an NDA with Fletcher Corporation! Did Tommy not know he's doomed our company?"

ov

Ingrid stuttered in terror, "H-How could this happen?"

"Where is Tommy?" Ned asked again, his voice filled with murderous intent.

Ingrid clenched her phone tightly and answered, "H-He's currently staying at my apartment in Krontos."

"Vitality Biotech Group had already

made a police report. Tommy better

be prepared to be jailed for his life Ned hung up the phone and

slammed the steering wheel,

causing a loud honk to echo in the car park.
