She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 864

"Do you have to bring that up?"

Preston looked utterly unimpressed.

"Why else would you be calling? Sure, the Carter Group is partnering with Stellaris PharmaTech now, but ever since you took over, you've done nothing but bully us! I'm still holding a grudge over that, so I've got a major bone to pick with you."

Elias spoke with self-righteous indignation.

"You can't blame me for your own incompetence."

"What else am I supposed to say? That I'm the problem? Let me tell you, a man never admits defeat!"

"Elias. Business."

"Talk."

Quickly and concisely, Preston detailed Elina's condition.

"That does sound bizarre. But the Carter Group's medical tech is right on par with Stellaris. If you want a specialist consultation, you're better off looking closer to home."

"Closer to home?"

Hearing Preston's confusion, Elias scoffed.

"Stop playing dumb. Melanie is right there with you, isn't she?"

"Yeah."

"You've already figured out she's the pharmaceutical genius, Schrödinger's Pill, haven't you?"

"..."

Preston's silence was all the confirmation Elias needed.

He didn't actually have hard proof.

But he trusted Preston's sharp intuition.

They had lived together as a couple; there was no way Preston wouldn't have noticed her god-tier talent for pharmacology.

"Just hand it over to the Oracle. She'll get it done fast and accurately."

"Could it be... dangerous?"

"Ah, so you're scared she might get hurt, and that's why you called me! I knew you were a piece of work, Preston. Trying to dump the risk onto the Carter Group."

Preston fell silent again, but this time he wasn't agreeing.
