“Do you want me to look into the connection between Rowan and that official?” Foster asked from the front seat.
Sebastian’s expression was cold. “Not yet. Let’s see how this plays out first.”
Back in the conference hall, Lilian looked at Rowan with a look that was almost playful. “So, let me get this straight. Without that specific pharmacist’s license, I have no choice but to be investigated?”
Rowan grinned, thinking he had her trapped. “That’s right. I’m sure your employees have their paperwork in order, but you just admitted to the entire country that every formula comes from you personally. You said it yourself, Lilian, it’s on the record. There’s no taking it back.”
The official nodded. “He’s right. In this industry, researchers have to hold a valid license to develop medication. Since you’ve claimed ownership of these formulas, you either show us that license or you come with us.”
Lilian nodded thoughtfully, flipping through the black booklet in her hand. “I see. I didn’t realize that specific license was such a big deal. Jorge told me that this certificate would let me work anywhere in the medical world without any trouble. I guess he was just exaggerating.”

The official’s pulse quickened. “Could I… could I see that?”
“Sure.” Lilian tossed the booklet to him like it was junk. “Check it for me. Tell me if it’s actually worth anything.”
She leaned back in her chair. “He was so pushy when he gave it to me. He said the Medical Association issued it specifically for me and that only a handful of people in the country have

one. I’ll be pretty annoyed if it turns out to be worthless. I only agreed to join his association because he promised me this was the ultimate credential.”
The official was speechless. He opened the booklet, and as he scanned the contents, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Rowan watched the blood drain from the man’s face, his own heart sinking. He had no idea what Lilian had handed over, but the official’s reaction was terrifying. The rest of the room was just as confused, but it was clear from the man’s trembling hands that the document carried massive weight.
