Chapter 150
As she gave herself into Chase’s warm.
embrace, all feelings of helplessness left her as he towered over her like a strong, unwavering pillar.
A strong sense of security permeated her body.
To ask Chase for help, to beg of him…
It was a first for her.
She didn’t even know why she was doing so.
Chase was but an ordinary person. He did not have the means to shake the heavens and move the earth.
Yet, Bella chose to rely on him at this moment.
She didn’t understand her own actions.
And there was no need for her to.
As long as she had her husband by her side, everything would be fine.
Chase’s heart ached at the sight of Bella’s helplessness, as he shared her pain.
He glanced at the sardonic and selfish people in front of him and smirked.
His eyes were filled with endless apathy.
“Alright!”
It was but a word, yet it was perhaps the most powerful comfort Bella could hear at this point in time.
Bella closed her eyes as the world around her fell into darkness and silence.
Just as Daniel was about to shout out again, a reporter’s phone suddenly rang.
After answering his phone, he was dumbfounded.
“The Helping Hands Medical Center is also purchasing the Heption Herbs from the whole city!”
The atmosphere suddenly went quiet when they heard the reporter.
The Helping Hands Medical Center was already at the jaws of death following the previous incident.
Yet now, they decided to face the storm head-on too.
Had the world gone crazy?
To the owner of those pharmaceutical companies, it didn’t matter who wanted to buy the Heption Herbs. They were happy as long as there were those who would willingly take these deadly herbs away from them!This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Almost everyone rushed to the Helping Hands Medical Center in a jiffy.
Daniel giggled smugly after a brief moment of shock.
“The Helping Hands Medical Center, huh?”
Excellent!
I was worried that they’d have gone into hiding. Now that I know that they haven’t, I can finally bring them to their knees!” Danie thought.
“What impeccable timing!”
Following the crowd, Daniel swiftly headed towards the Helping Hands Medical Center.
At once, the atmosphere at the Song family’s doorstep returned to its peaceful state.
Chase carried Bella into the house, ignoring the Song’s.
He closed the door and performed acupuncture on Bella.
A moment passed before Bella woke up.
The first thing she did was to ask Chase,”How’s it going on your side?”
Chase said softly, “The money has all been spent, but it wasn’t enough. There were a lot of people waiting for us to purchase the herbs.”
Bella’s brows scrunched as remorse slowly consumed her being.
In response, Chase whispered, “From this point on, you don’t have to worry anymore. You’ve already done enough.”
“I don’t have to worry about it anymore?” Bella asked visibly confused.
Chase smiled gently. “Didn’t you ask for my help earlier?”
Bella’s pale face flushed with embarrassment.
Earlier, when she was caught in the commotion, she had held on to Chase as though he was her only hope.
“Have a good rest. I will take care of everything. By the way, the Helping Hand Medical Center has also intervened in this matter.” He told her of the intention of the Helping Hands Medical Center to purchaset The Heption Herb from the whole city.
Bella was astonished. “Why would they do this?”
Chase smiled. “All you need to do now is to watch your health and promise me that you won’t think about anything else. Have a good sleep for me, will you?”
Bella looked at Chase’s doting expression and nodded obediently. Then, she crawled under the sheets.
She was like a small kitten, innocent and contented.
With that, Chase turned to leave.
From the covers came a soft and lovely voice, “Hubby, thank you.”
Hubby…
This endearing nickname pierced through Chase’s heart like an arrow.
It was sweet and warm.
Was that how his silly wife revealed her blatant love?
With a smile, Chase prepared himself for Fe journey to the Helping Hands Medical Center.
Of course, when he walked out of the room, he heard the cocky voices of the Song family again.
“Hahaha, the Helping Hands Medical Center has come to help us.”
One of them applauded before he cheered, “Exactly! After all, we hold their exclusive dealership! Losing us means losing half their business too!”
Rosaline grinned like a Cheshire cat as she said, “Well, we did rise and prosper together after all! The Helping Hands Medical Center won’t go unscathed from this scandal anyway. I guess they do have foresight now that they come to our aid this time around
Chase snickered inwardly and went out.
Within a day, the Helping Hands Medical Center had bought a total of 5, 000 kilograms of herbs.
It was all purchased according to the market price, for one hundred yuan per kilogram.
Daniel watched the entire situation unfold cold-heartedly; he was not in a hurry to sell the last 10, 000 kilograms in his family.
He wanted to know what the Helping Hands Medical Center was scheming.
He knew Chloe was not an easy person to deal with.
As the sky turned dark, the clinic closed.
But right after their doors were closed, a shocking notice was posted outside the gate of the Helping Hands Medical Center.
“The Helping Hands Medical Center will continue to purchase the Heption Herbs for another three days. From tomorrow onwards, the price will be 800 yuan per kilogram, followed by 600 yuan the day after, and 300 yuan on the third day.”
Like a series of closely-placed landmines, the news exploded throughout Golden City.
Everyone was furious!
“What on Earth does the Helping Hands Medical Center think they are doing?”
“Are they robbing us in broad daylight?” The citizens fumed at the sentiment,
The purchase price was going lower by the day!
Didn’t they know that every pharmaceutical company in Golden City was in distress?!
They were obviously hitting people who were already down!
However, there were still some people who couldn’t figure out what the true motive of the Helping Hands Medical Center was.
It was a period of time when it was best to protect one’s own interests.
Why would the Helping Hands Medical Center jeopardize themselves?
The Heption Herb was already nothing more than trash. Why would they still want to buy it?
A number of people then waited to see the Helping Hands Medical Center’s next move.
Chase, on the other hand, was peeling an orange in the clinic placidly at this moment.
Chloe casually threw the orange peel into her cup.
Chase curiously asked, “Why didn’t you scold me this time?”
Chloe gave him an angry stare and snapped,”You’re a masochist, aren’t you?”
Chase chortled briefly, not saying a word.
Chloe looked at him, smiling bitterly in her heart.
Scold him?
If not for that nerve-wracking evidence from Sophia, she would have cut Chase into pieces.
On the contrary, she was so shocked that the almost wanted to kneel for this b*stard!
“Such drastic measures!” Chloe thought.
They were making a fool out of the entire Golden City! Making fun of all the companies!
In the end, the people would submit to them cowering at their power.
Take the Heption Herb acquisition, for instance.
Releasing the news, they began the acquisition process at market price.
Consequently, they reduced the price on a daily basis.
As the word got out, all the pharmaceutical companies immediately kept all the Heption
Herbs they owned to themselves; they would only let go of it at the best price. This was because they didn’t know what the Heption Herb could do!
What if the herb was useful?
As each day passed, the price dropped every lower!
The pharmaceutical companies were on the edge of their seats!
There were only three days left before the Golden City Pharmaceutical Association announced the test results of the herbs.
The longer they waited, the lower the price became. What if the herb was proven poisonous on the third day? Wouldn’t they lose everything by then?
Now, they should focus on cutting their losses.
Chloe glanced at Chase, the little b*stard who took advantage of the public’s misinformation and the strategy of depreciating the price. He had made those companies dance to his tune!
It was a perfectly planned psychological war!
Chase ate the orange and looked at Chloe’s dull eyes. He curled his lips into a smile and asked, “Then you should know what the Zhao family is going to do next, right?”
Chloe nodded and drank the cup of warm water with the orange peel steeping in it, her face expressionless.
“The Zhao family will save the people in the ICU, making a name for themselves”.
