Chapter 1876
However, it wasnt long before his thoughts drifted back to Arianas health condition.
According to her latest medical check-up, Arianas indicators were normal, and she was in no imminent danger.
However, if she wasnt treated soon and the drug cells were left to spread unchecked, her lifespan would be shortened just as Mitchel had said… This thought caused Holden to feel sad.
He really couldnt bear the thought of Ariana suffering.
Holden gently lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it.
He resolved to do everything in his power to keep Ariana alive no matter how difficult the treatment might seem.
He would fight death itself for her.
He refused to believe that after all they had overcome, they would be unable to solve the mere issue of drug fusion.
Just then, Holdens phone buzzed with a new message on the nightstand. He instinctively turned to the sleeping Ariana to check if she had been disturbed.
Satisfied that she was still asleep, he retrieved his phone and checked the new message.
Mr.- Holden, a popular bio-pharmaceutical company, the ANG Group from Duskmill, has requested to discuss a collaboration with the Fredrick Group.
Would you like to accept this offer? The message was from Shawn.
Holden, upon learning about Arianas hidden illness, had immediately asked Shawn to investigate bio-pharmaceutical companies to see if any could develop the specific drug needed for Arianas condition.
During this time, Holden had also learned about many related biopharmaceutical companies, the ANG Group included.
The ANG Group was a leading pharmaceutical company in Duskmill.
According to the secret investigation conducted by the Fredrick Group, the ANG Group had secret dealings with Conata when it had first been established.
These dealings had, however, ceased twenty-three years ago when a new chairman had taken charge of the company.
The ANG Group had been steadily growing in Duskmill, and many large, well- known companies had tried to partner with them but had failed.
Holden knew that if his company could indeed partner with the ANG Group, there would be hope that a medicine to cure Ariana would be discovered.
He quickly sent a message to Shawn.
Agree to the meeting with the ANG Group.
But before that, investigate its recent activities thoroughly, especially their trade with Conata.
Understood, Ill start the investigation immediately, Shawn replied.
The vast sea that separated Duskmill and Eleymond had always Limited their connection.
In the early days, Shawn had struggled to gather much information about the ANG Group due to their sparse trade relations.
But he had stumbled upon some details about the family of the owner of ANG Group. From what Ive heard, Elton Alonso, the current CEO of the ANG Group, was supposed to inherit the business from his father.
But after his fathers sudden accident, his uncle seized control of everything, Shawn explained.
Over twenty years ago, when his uncle met an untimely end, Elton finally reclaimed the company.
He paused, letting the weight of his words settle before adding, Some say that his uncles death wasnt an accident.
They believe Elton orchestrated the matter himself.
If thats true, it means hes very ruthless.
In the quiet study, Holden scanned the documents in front of him.
Without looking up, he responded calmly, I see.
Mr.
Fredrick, Shawn said, concern evident in his voice, if Elton is really this ruthless, shouldnt we approach this with more caution? Shawns brow furrowed as he continued, What if hes planning to set us up? Should we push back the meeting so that I can dig deeper into his background?
