She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 329

So, Samuel wanted to take the opportunity to get his hands on her too, especially a great beauty like Melanie. It would definitely be a status symbol.

After the dance, Leonard kept his arm around Evelyn's waist and led her to a deserted balcony.

Before they could exchange more than a few words, Samuel buzzed over like a persistent fly.

"Ms. Hale, why only dance with Mr. Crowell? I'd like to ask you for a dance too..."

Evelyn saw Samuel's lecherous expression and knew he was just like Leonard, only wanting to take advantage of her.

"Mr. Marcelline, you're just in time. In fact, I was about to ask you to join us to discuss something important."

"Oh?"

Samuel raised an eyebrow with interest.

Beside them, Leonard was somewhat displeased.

"What, so you didn't intend to leak the information just to me from the beginning?"

"Mr. Crowell, don't make things difficult for Ms. Hale. Why don't we hear what she has to say first..."

As Samuel spoke, he placed his hand on Evelyn's thigh.

A week later, the new cancer therapeutic from the Hale Health Center was launched.

Normally, the release of a new drug of this caliber would cause a huge stir in the industry, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others.

However, on the day of the launch, direct competitors the Crowell Group and Quanterra Biolabs simultaneously launched massive price-cutting promotions. They coordinated with all their channels to drop the price of their existing cancer therapeutics to below cost.

It was the Hale Health Center launching a new drug, yet it was the Crowell Group and Quanterra Biolabs making all the noise with their promotions.

In her office, Evelyn was beaming, waiting for good news.

She really had to thank Schrödinger's Pill for the warning this time.

Otherwise, how would she have thought to do the opposite and get the Crowell Group and Quanterra Biolabs to proactively start a price war?

"Once this price war starts, the only one who will be utterly defeated is you... Melanie."

Evelyn spat out the last two words through gritted teeth.

Right now, Leonard and Samuel were busy cutting prices to seize the market. Melanie's new drug was bound to hit a wall right after its launch. The inventory would pile up, and the production line couldn't be stopped.

Dominic was confused.

But he didn't have time to guess what was on Evelyn's mind.

Right now, he only wanted to show the results to Gregory and the company's key personnel.

"In just three short days since its launch, the new cancer therapeutic has captured sixty percent of the market share... and, we have reliable information that the cash flow for the Crowell Group and Quanterra Biolabs has dried up. I believe it won't be long before they file for bankruptcy."

Dominic's powerful words sent a wave of excitement through everyone in the office—

Except for Evelyn.

"That's my son. Well done!"

Gregory proudly patted Dominic's shoulder.

"Dad, I can't take the credit... The outstanding performance of the new drug this time is entirely due to Melanie's efforts!"

"Oh?" Gregory raised an eyebrow.

As the Hale father and son were talking, Evelyn, her face ashen with shock and panic, flipped through the documents Dominic had left on the desk.
