Chapter 721 Here To See Dexmed Pharmaceutical Lose By then, Yara was all too aware that Samuel had no feelings for her.
If Natalie is still alive in this world, heâll never spare me a single glance. Even though heâs here now, Iâm sure he only came because of her!
âHeâs naturally here for Dreamâs sake,â she muttered, seemingly answering Thomas, yet it was as though she was also reminding herself of it.
âOh, well!â
At once, Thomas wore an utterly conflicted expression. On the one hand, he was afraid that Samuel would intervene during the press conference, but on the other, he found it a pity that the man had no affection for Yara. Otherwise, he would have free rein over the influence of the Bowers family. Consequently, the scale and accomplishments of Dexmed Pharmaceutical would reach new heights.
âThereâs no need to be nervous, Dad. So what if heâs here? This matter canât be suppressed even if he intervenes. After all, it involves multiple lives. Not only did Dream fail to provide an explanation, but they didnât even apologize. No matter how much power he has, he canât run roughshod over the entire Dellmoor,â Yara scoffed.
Nodding, Thomas put a lid on the uneasiness and anxiety within him.
When they both walked out to the press conference hall, they bumped into Samuel head-on.
âHello, Samuel.â Thomas acted all toady at the sight of Samuel, extending his hand for a handshake. Alas, the man ignored him.
In a flash, embarrassment showed on his face. Fortunately, the person in charge of the Medical Association at the side called out to him. Using that as an excuse, he brushed his nose and left with his tail between his legs.
That left Yara and Samuel standing face-to-face with each other.
Yara jerked her chin up arrogantly as she stared at Samuel. âAre you here to see how Dream is going to lose miserably?
Otherwise, you really didnât have to come here today. If youâre determined to help Natalie, your position as the head of the family will be shaky henceforth no matter how secure it has been.â
The corners of Samuelâs mouth curved into a faint arc.
That smile of his was both devilish and wicked.
The mole beneath his right eye added a dangerously entrancing allure to him, but the light in his upturned eyes was cold and dark. Opening his thin lips slightly, he riposted, âItâs the polar opposite. Iâm here to see how Dexmed Pharmaceutical is going lose and make a run like rats fleeing a sinking ship.â
Hearing that, Yara was startled, her eyes brimming with disbelief.
âWhat do you mean?â
However, Samuel deliberately ignored her shocked gaze and said to Billy beside him, âLetâs find a place and have a seat.â
âSure,â Billy answered, inclining his head a fraction.
Subsequently, Samuel took his seat under Yaraâs resentful gaze.
Her hands curled and clenched into fists. She felt like the man trampled all over her heart, shattering it into a million pieces.
Things have already come to this, yet heâs still unwilling to admit that Natalie has lost, huh? But so what? The facts are right before our eyes. Regardless of whether heâs here, the outcome will remain the same. Just you wait and see, Samuel! Iâm definitely going to defeat her so soundly in this press conference that her reputation will be in tatters!
At ten oâclock on the dot, the press conference commenced.
The host stood at the rostrum and repeated high-sounding cliches.
Behind the screen, a tall and slender figure in a dark green vest stood among the staff, appearing very much inconspicuous. As she lowered the brim of her baseball cap, a smirk tugged at her lips. A moment later, a voice drifted out of her Bluetooth earpiece.
âEverything is ready, Boss.â
âGreat.â
That figure was none other than Natalie, but she wasnât wearing the hyper-realistic mask she usually wore.
Hence, even with the baseball cap concealing the better half of her face, it still couldnât hide her devastating beauty.
After the host finished speaking, it was the expertsâ turn, followed by the person in charge of the Medical Association.
The person in charge of the Medical Association, Saunder Todd, was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. When he spoke, not only did he sound heartbroken, but he even burst into tears.
âIâm devastated, truly grief-stricken! Twenty-three patients and their families were affected! In my opinion, if we do not take action, many more patients and their families will be destroyed.â
Because of his persuasive words and expression, many soft-hearted female journalists at the press conference started shedding tears surreptitiously.
