My Substitute CEO Bride

Pamela’s pretty face flushed slightly. “I failed to see the bigger picture

At Jonford City Hall, several representatives from the Sinopharm

Office were holding a meeting with representatives from Southern

Heaven Pharmaceuticals.

There were five people from Southern Heaven Pharmaceuticals-Eva, Sydney, Queenie, Yasmin, and Derek. They were all dressed in formal

attire, with Eva sitting in the middle position as she was the main

person in charge of this meeting.

Frances from the Sinopharm Office wore a displeased expression on

his face as he started, “This meeting was supposed to be held

yesterday. You postponed it to today, which is already bad enough,

and now your chairperson is avoiding us. Does she really think she

can push us around?”

He was the vice-chairman of the Sinopharm Office, yet the

chairperson of Southern Heaven Pharmaceuticals had refused to

meet him in person. It was simply disrespectful.

Did she not know that all it took was one word from him for Southern

Heaven Pharmaceuticals to be shut down and all their products taken

off the shelves?

Eva apologetically responded, “I’m sorry, our chairperson is pregnant

and got into an accident yesterday. She really can’t attend the

meeting today.”

။

Frances snorted coldly. “I’ve heard these excuses too many times!”

“This mother-”

Derek’s temper flared up instantly, and he slammed his fist hard on

the table. “Old man, are you out of your mind? If you’re not willing to

meet with us, then wait until our chairperson has recovered!”

“How insolent!” Frances immediately shot to his feet, his anger unleashing. “Who do you think you are? Do you have any right to speak here?”

“I’m your father, that’s who!” Derek’s face flushed with anger as he

retorted.

Eva was snickering to herself but could not show it. Instead, she

frowned slightly and said, “Mr. Judd, please calm down.”

Derek took a deep breath and slowly sat back down.

Eva turned to Frances and said, “Mr. Garcia, please calm down. Mr.

Judd is the security manager of our company. He has a bit of a

temper, but I’ll discipline him later.”

Derek did not think he did anything wrong, and his displeasure was

evident on his face. Eva was Hera’s favorite, though. He could not do

anything about it.

An elderly man next to Frances tugged at his sleeve. “Mr. Garcia, please sit down. It’s important that we keep the peace.”

“Hmph…” Frances snorted coldly and sat back down.

“May I know why the Sinopharm Office is looking for us?” Eva asked.

The old man beside Frances replied, “We’ve come to obtain your

prescriptions. Since they’re ancient Drakonian formulas, they should be regulated by our office.”

“What?” Sydney’s eyes widened instantly. If it were not for Queenie’s

matching expression, she might have thought she misheard.

Yasmin was also stunned while Derek’s fists were clenched so tightly his bones were creaking.

Eva looked astonished, but she was someone who had gone through

a lot before and quickly calmed herself.

“What do you mean by this, Mr. Garcia? Since when did our

prescriptions become ancient Drakonian formulas? And why should

we hand them over to you for regulation?” she asked with a faint

smile.

“Only ancient Drakonian formulas are effective in completely curing a condition. We’ve verified the efficacy of the medicines you produce and surmised that they’re indeed the ancient formulas we’re talking

about.

“If you hand over the prescriptions, we’ll authorize state-owned

pharmaceutical factories to produce them.

“We’ve prepared two options. Either we buy the prescriptions at a price of 200 million each or your chairperson will receive 5% of the

net profit annually from the state-owned pharmaceutical companies.”

Frances placed two contracts on the table and pushed them toward

Eva. Then, he lifted his teacup, took a sip, and continued, “That’s why

1

we insist on seeing your chairperson. This matter is not something you can decide on your own.”
