Betrayed? I Upgraded to His Billionaire Brother novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307

I was afraid I’d break down in front of him, but when I checked, my eyes were just dry. Bone–dry,

Over at Winslow Corp. preparations for the new drug’s launch event were in full swing, buzzing like a hornet’s nest.

Amelia was completely caught off guard. She never imagined Elara would have the guts–or the audacity–to hold such a high profile launch for a drug with

uch mediocre efficacy, and even had the nerve to claim it was some miracle drug with zero side–effects.

This was going to blow up in her face. Spectacularly. It might even take the whole of Winslow Corp down with it.

The thought put Amelia in a fantastic mood as she strolled into the office. She pushed open her door, only to have a tablet come flying straight at her!

No time to dodge. It hit her square in the chest. Gritting her teeth, about to let loose a string of curses, she looked up and saw the matriarch of the Shang family itting behind her desk.

Margaret shot her a cold look, her aged eyes sharp and piercing. “How can you still be smiling? Elara’s holding her launch in two days! What about you? What happened to all your promises?”

Margaret!” Amelia was startled, a twinge of pain even flickering in her lower abdomen. She picked up the tablet and walked over, oozing confidence. Just elax. Elara’s little party won’t go so smoothly.”

Margaret’s voice was icy. “What do you mean?”

Take a look at these.” Amelia opened a drawer and slid over a stack of data. “These are the results from Elara’s so–called wonder drug. Efficacy is barely on par with the standard cancer meds already on the market.”

How do you think her launch is going to go smoothly with *this*?”

Margaret flipped through a few pages. Some of the tension in her shoulders eased. “You’re sure this data is solid?”

Absolutely.” Amelia smiled, giving her the abbreviated version. “This is from the clinical trials we ran using her drug formula. And my source dose to Elara confirmed it. The results are… disappointing, to say the least.”

Elara and that senior of hers have been walking around the lab with faces longer than a week. Right now, they’re probably just scrambling to figure out how to alvage this disaster of a launch.”

And they wouldn’t get the chance!

Amelia glanced down at the documents on the desk, a smug smile curling her lips. “After this, Elara can forget about having a career in medicine.”

As for Mr. Winslow…” Amelia looked at Margaret, her tone full of conviction. “This is your chance to regain control of Winslow Corp.”

When everything crashes and burns live on stage, neither Elara nor Gavin will be able to escape the fallout.

Margaret narrowed her eyes, the wrinkles at their corners deepening with calculation. “You’re certain? No room for error?”

You don’t have enough faith in me.” Amelia was utterly assured.

alsifying medical efficacy claims was a death sentence for any researcher or corporation.

lara’s ruin was guaranteed.

The only question was how badly Winslow Corp would be hit.

Amelia refilled Margaret’s teacup, her voice soft and sweet. “If I mess this up, you can deal with me however you see fit. No arguments.”

“But… if I succeed, I’d like you to promise me one thing.”

She seized the moment to make her request.

Chapter 307

In a good mood, Margaret glanced at her. “What is it?”

“I want…” Amelia’s smile widened. “…to marry Zane,”

On her own, it was hopeless.

But if Margaret, back in control of Winslow Corp, put in a good word for her… and if the Grayson family weighed the pros and cons, along with the baby she was carrying…

It wasn’t impossible!

A flicker of disgust passed over Margaret’s face, but she didn’t refuse. “I can agree to that.”

Then her tone shifted, turning icy and sinister. “But let me be perfectly clear. If you fail, not even the Grayson family will be able to protect you.”

This Amelia had already squeezed nine figures in funding from her.

Now her own R&D was a complete mess. Her only hope was for Gavin and Elara to fail utterly.

Otherwise, she would settle every last cent of that debt with Amelia.

she’d get the money back from the Graysons.

And she’d take Amelia’s life, too.

Amelia felt a chill run down her spine under that gaze. An unwarranted unease bubbled up, but she didn’t dare show it. She forced an awkward laugh. “Of course I know the Graysons wouldn’t cross the Winslows for my sake.”

“So you can rest assured. Even if just to save my own skin, I’ll pull out all the stops to drag Elara down from that pedestal.”

Margaret finally nodded, satisfied. “As long as you understand.”

What she valued in Amelia was precisely this venomous hatred for Elara.

Someone fueled by hate acted decisively. Ruthlessly.

And just as they said, there I was, sitting in the lab, my brow furrowed.

Elias looked up, saw my expression, and couldn’t help but chuckle. “What’s wrong? Still agonizing over your speech for the launch?”
