Chapter 478
Chapter 480: Chapter 479 Chapter 480: Chapter 479 Austin Gill furrowed his brow, looking at the complete name of the party A company on the contract, feeling like he might have read it wrong.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
Normally, when they were purchasing drugs from research institutes, the Gill Group always played the role of party A, but at this moment, on the opposing contract, party A was not the Gill Family but–
Watson Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
The name sounded a bit unfamiliar.
Yet, it also seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Austin Gill furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment, but he still couldn’t remember where he had seen it. He simply furrowed his brow and looked at Keera Olsen, “Keera, we are the buyers, you are the sellers, logically, we should be party A p>
However, Keera Olsen said, “Sorry, our pharmaceutical research institute always acts as party A when we sell our drugs externally p>
Austin Gill immediately wanted to say something, but was scolded by Lady Gill, “Austin, do not be rude to Miss Olsen p>
Austin Gill pouted and simply turned his head away, “Hmph p>
Keera Olsen achieved her goal; moreover, Nara Gill was already out of life-threatening danger; it was only a matter of time before she would wake up.
She simply didn’t wait there with them any longer; after greeting Matias Gill, Keera Olsen left the hospital.
As soon as she had left, Austin Gill couldn’t help but complain to Lady Gill, “Mom! Look how excessive she is! In all of Clance’s pharmaceutical companies, aside from Nora Research Institute, which pharmaceutical company dares to act as party A in front of our family p>
Lady Gill glared at him, “Aren’t you going to repay the life-saving favor owed to your sister p>
Austin Gill was speechless.
He reluctantly lowered his gaze and after a while, he finally said, “I’ll have someone stamp the contract tomorrow and send it to her p>
“Good p>
Lady Gill responded and then continued to look towards the sickroom.
She really wasn’t concerned about these cooperations for now, just hoping that her daughter would wake up sooner.
Noticing Lady Gill’s gaze, Austin Gill couldn’t help but look towards the ICU ward.
He stared at the door, his expression gradually turning despondent, helpless, until finally, he was utterly lost and bewildered.
He certainly knew that his sister ending up in this situation today was not entirely Jackson Gill’s fault.
He was more to blame!
Beating Jackson Gill, was merely a way to vent his own sense of powerlessness.
Yes, powerlessness.
In this moment, he finally understood the meaning of that old Crera proverb about karma and retribution.
Having grown up in the Gill Family because his sister was taken away, his mother’s pampering turned into a double portion, seemingly trying to compensate on him for the part lost with his sister.
He had been spoiled to the point of becoming reckless, and these years he truly lived in a daze!
Tired of high-society life for not being thrilling, he was always looking for something exciting… to prove to himself that he was still alive.
That’s why he bragged about sleeping with Mary Davis…
That’s why he took pleasure in seeing others unable to fight back when he bullied them.
Even when he drove Nara Gill to jump from the building, his heart and eyes were full of impatience!
How could he treat a girl like that!
Even if she was not his sister, he shouldn’t treat her like this!
Austin Gill stared regretfully and remorsefully at Nara Gill on the hospital bed, and suddenly, his legs weakened, and he knelt in front of the ICU.
Lady Gill tightened her fingers, but she did not stop him.
Matias Gill beside him stared fiercely at them, feeling Austin Gill should indeed kneel and atone for his past behavior!
If it weren’t for Austin’s indulgence, if it weren’t for the Gill Family’s protection, how could Jackson Gill have driven his sister to this point?
The culprits who drove his sister to jump were not just Jackson Gill but also Lady Gill and Austin Gill!
All three of them were murderers!
Matias Gill thought so, clenched his fists, and suddenly rushed over, hitting Austin Gill in the back with a stick again, “Get out! Sister won’t wake up because she doesn’t want to see you! Both of you, get out! Don’t stay here p>
Austin Gill didn’t dare to retaliate, and merely knelt there silently, his head lowered without a word.
Every time Matias Gill’s stick came down, Austin Gill’s body would subtly shudder until, after being hit five times, he uncontrollably dodged backward.
Matias Gill continued to hit, “Get out! If you stay here, sister won’t wake up p>
When Austin Gill heard this, he paused slightly.
Matias Gill then looked at Lady Gill, “And you, get out with him p>
Lady Gill’s face was tense, her eyes were red, “Fine, we’ll leave p>
Lady Gill wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, then turned and left.
Seeing this, Austin Gill stood up too, staggering behind Lady Gill.
Neither of them spoke, and just sat down on the bench at the corner outside the hospital corridor.
Lady Gill didn’t say to leave, Austin Gill didn’t either.
Nara Gill didn’t want to see them, didn’t want to hear them talk, so they stayed away… But they couldn’t just neglect Nara Gill.
She was their daughter and sister! The daughter and sister they had been searching for seventeen years…
Austin Gill lowered his head, then suddenly looked at Lady Gill, “Mom, you think p>
Before he could finish, he choked up and after a long moment spoke again, “Do you think sister will still recognize us p>
Lady Gill pursed her lips, unsure what to say…
Silence fell between them.
Suddenly, Austin Gill buried his head and began to cry; it was unclear how long he cried. When he lifted his head, he said, “Mom, you’re right, Keera saved sister, not just a contract, even if it requires giving her all the Gill assets, I have no complaints p>
Lady Gill sighed.
While they were talking, the butler suddenly rushed over, panting, “Madam, young master, there’s trouble p>
“What happened p>
Lady Gill asked sharply.
The butler, catching his breath, said, “We just got insider news; there’s a foreign power that has issued a ban against us, planning to acquire us at an extremely low cost p>
Lady Gill abruptly stood up, “What p>
Austin Gill was stunned, “How could this happen? Have we offended anyone recently p>
Lady Gill and Austin Gill exchanged glances.
Austin Gill said, “Of the people we’ve offended recently, the only one capable of retaliating like this might be Keera Olsen p>
Lady Gill shook her head, “If it were her, there’s no need for her to cooperate with us, not to mention the Olsen family doesn’t have that strong a presence abroad p>
Austin Gill then looked at the butler, “So, who exactly is trying to ban us p>
The butler immediately replied, “We don’t know the specifics yet, just that they’re very powerful. Just the rumor has already caused several companies that were collaborating with us to stop p>
“So secretive p>
Austin Gill was a bit panicked.
However, Lady Gill took a deep breath, “What’s there to fear? We’ll deal with whatever comes! You immediately transfer six billion in liquidity to Miss Olsen, paying all future collaboration fees at once p>
This statement startled Austin Gill, “Why p>
Lady Gill lowered her gaze, “Miss Olsen saved your sister’s life. The six billion we owe her! Even if Gill faces bankruptcy, we can’t owe Miss Olsen p>
Austin Gill immediately nodded, “Mom, you’re right p>
While the Gill household was in chaos, at the South Family’s home.
Lewis Horton was sitting in Kiera Olsen’s study, holding an international meeting.
Tom Davis was reporting to him, “Currently, our influence overseas has been successfully established. Boss, are you sure about acquiring the Gill Group? It will bring us nothing but harm p>
Meanwhile, Kiera Olsen had just taken a taxi back to the South Family home.
