The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1541

He nodded at her.

She completely relaxed after receiving his affirmation. Then, she shared the result of their initial discussion earlier.

“This is my two cents. Damaris Group provided us with the medicinal herbs and distribution channel for this collaboration. However, technology-wise, the credits belong almost entirely to the research institute. I can even say that the research institute is the real owner of this core technology in developing this new medicine. For this reason and considering our experiences working together with other groups, the profit should be divided into a twenty-eighty split. Our research institute will take the larger portion of the earnings.”

She was the person in charge of the research institute, after all. Although Roxanne wasn’t sufficiently familiar with that aspect, she still commanded an extraordinary presence.

A hint of admiration glinted in Lucian’s eyes as he listened to her speech and took in her serious demeanor.

On the other hand, Jack thought his ears were playing tricks on him. He forced himself to keep up his elegant facade. “Excuse me. I didn’t hear you clearly. Ms. Jarvis, you were saying—”

She reiterated calmly, “The research institute will take eighty percent of the profit from the sales of this medicine while Damaris Group owns the remaining twenty percent.”

Jack couldn’t help but chuckle. “Are you kidding me, Ms. Jarvis? Is that all the profit you’re willing to share with us after Damaris Group contributed so much to this project?”

Roxanne’s eyes shone with determination. “The Damaris family is a century-old prestigious family in the traditional medicine business, so you must be well aware of the rules in the pharmaceutical field. In fact, coming up with the core technology is the most important part of medical research and development. In the context of contribution, I’m confident our research institute poured in much more effort than Damaris Group.”

Jack turned to glance at Lucian and swiftly wrapped his mind around the situation.

Evidently, that was the result of their discussion earlier.
