Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 700 Bane waved a hand dismissively .

Let me make one thing clear Im not helping Rhodes Corporations Pharmaceutical Division out of pure goodwill .

I expect to get what I want when the time comes .

I trust you wont be stingy when that moment arrives .

Tiana chuckled softly .

Dont worry .

Youll have access to all the resources and funds you need .

The meeting room was filled with Rhodes Corporation executives .

Besides Bane and Michael , Andrew , Lauren , and Marcus were also present .

However , the three of them sat on the sidelines , largely ignored .

Nobody came over to chat or engage with them .

Meanwhile , Michael stood at the center of attention , surrounded by a crowd of managers , all enthusiastically congratulating him .

They were not there just for idle flattery they were hedging their bets .

After all , the ongoing power struggle between Michael and Lauren would decide who got the CEO seat .

Judging by the current situation , Michael seemed like a guaranteed winner .noveldrama

And in corporate politics , knowing which way the wind blew was a survival skill these managers had mastered .

Michael smiled modestly , but his gaze swept toward Andrew and Lauren with a mocking glint .

Lauren , Mr.

Lloyd … you two look a bit down , he said with a fake smile .

Whats wrong ? Did Mr.

Lloyds magic formulas not turn out as expected ? Laurens expression remained cold .

Our products are just fine .

Theyll be hitting the market soon .

You dont need to worry about us .

Michael laughed condescendingly .

Lauren , youre being way too impatient .

Sure , Glorious Pharmaceuticals is backing you , but the heart of a product lies in its quality and performance .

If Mr.

Lloyds formulas turn out to be garbage , then launching them will only burn through resources and drain your energy for nothing .

Marcus frowned .

Mr.

Rhodes , you dont even know what our products are .

Isnt it a bit arrogant to make assumptions like that ? Michael sneered .

Why would I waste time learning about your products ? Tell me , Mr.

Chapman , would you care what the janitor on the street is having for lunch ? Of course not .

Because the gap between you two is too vast to bother .

Marcus face turned red with anger Michaels words were beyond insulting .

Mr.

Chapman , Andrew said suddenly , his voice calm but sharp , would you waste your breath arguing with a dog .

Michaels expression darkened instantly .

His lips twisted into a snarl .

Andrew , you just dont know when to quit .

Fine .

Lets see how far your so called miracle products go .

Ill enjoy watching you crash and burn .

Andrew smirked .

Michael , do you remember what I told you before ? I said Id strip away that smug mask and bring you back to reality .

Dont forget that .

And from where Im standing , your products are the real garbage .

Bane snorted .

Kid , big talk like that can make your tongue snap in half .

If my products are garbage , then yours are less than trash .

Andrews gaze shifted to Bane , filled with disdain .

Bane , you whipped up three formulas in record time .

What do you think you are ? The legendary founder of the Advanced Medical Institute ? You might have everyone else here fooled , but I see through your tricks .

Chapter 700 Banes face hardened .

His voice dropped to an icy growl .

What the hell are you implying ? Are you questioning my medical expertise ? Andrew shrugged .

Im not questioning it Im outright dismissing it .

Your formulas are nothing but a haphazard mix of tonic herbs thrown together under pressure .

Sure , they might give people a quick boost stuff a bunch of Root of Resilience , Emberhorn Stag , and Sunberry Bush into someone , and theyll feel like a furnace for a few hours .

But real medicine is about more than a temporary high .

Its about affordability , accessibility , and consistent , reliable results .

The room fell into stunned silence .

Many of the executives looked pale , suddenly uncertain about the products they had been so eager to praise .

Marcus clapped his hands , nodding with approval .

Well said , Mr.

Lloyd ! Thats what you call integrity and vision ! 11 Even Tiana glanced at Andrew with surprise .

She thought , This kid … maybe he actually knew what he was talking about .
