Chapter 243

Vicky was folding her arms before her chest as she laughed coolly. “Mr. Salazar, I understand your ambition to conquer the Riverton Market with the Beauty Pill. If anything, I welcome the competition, but I didn’t think you’d stoop this low!”

“Is that true, Mr. Salazar?”

“Do you have anything to say about this, Mr. Salazar?”

At the same time, the journalists promptly mobbed Donald, stopping short of shoving their microphones down Donald’s throat.

Donald was glowering, but there was no point in saying anything now–the more he spoke, the further he would be exposed!

He snorted and hurried out of the conference hall under the escort of the journalists.

“Wait, Mr. Salazar!”

“Just give us something…”

The journalists gave chase, having caught their next headline!

The Turnbulls had certainly turned the tables with the launch conference, with many bigwigs soon scrambling to pre–order the Rejuvenation Pill.

After the conference was over, Vicky changed into casuals as she mingled with her guests.” Mr.

Zimmer, Ms. York–thank you for today.”

“No, Ms. Turnbull,” Noel quickly said. “It’s my honor to endorse the Rejuvenation Pill.”

Even she could imagine how popular the Rejuvenation Pill would be!

Dan nodded as well. “Ms. York is right.”

Suddenly, Neil was striding toward Vicky, so Dan and Noel tactfully excused themselves.

“How many Rejuvenation Pills do you have right now, Vicky?” Neil then asked bluntly.

Vicky frowned. “What do you want?”

“To take stock, of course. As many as you have,” Neil quickly said.

He had finally realized that the Rejuvenation Pill was going to sell like hotcakes, and he needed to purchase stocks of it as soon as possible.

However, Vicky clasped her hands behind her back as she told him, “I’ll be holding a bid event for distributors next week. You can attend it if you’re interested.”

Neil was taken aback.

She was not selling him any and even forcing him to follow procedures?!

“I’m your cousin,” he growled. “Can’t you give me priority?”

“The first batch of the Rejuvenation Pill is limited in stock,” Frank said beside them just then. “Everyone has to follow procedures.”

“Don’t you see I’m talking to my cousin?!” Neil promptly snapped at him with a sideways glare.

“You should be watching your tongue, Neil,” Vicky told him right then. “Not only is Frank my bodyguard, but he’s also the medical consultant for Grande Corp. In this place, he outranks you.”

Neil clenched his knuckles, feeling that his own cousin just thoroughly insulted him.

Glaring at both of them, he growled, “Fine… I don’t care about some Rejuvenation Pill anyway!

He stormed off, snorting.

Vicky then turned toward Frank. “Thank you so much for today… But we’re going have to prepare a second batch soon.”

Frank nodded.

As evening arrived, Donald was laying on his reclining chair at Salazar House, with a maid massaging his temples.

He kept sighing from time to time, until Jaud said, “There’s no reason to fret, Mr. Salazar. The Turnbulls merely won this round.”

Donald slowly straightened, his eyes narrowed. “I had planned long and hard for this, to establish a foothold in Riverton. And now, with a single stroke, Vicky has completely vaporized all the hype we built for the Beauty Pill. How could I not fret?”

Jaud thought about it. “Actually, we don’t have to go through so much trouble if we want a foothold in Riverton.”
