Chapter 1958 A Frozen Smile

Roxanne's heart fell as her pity for Grant was instantly wiped clean.

She forced a smile that was tinged with bitterness. "Well then, I guess his divorce from Winnie was just a ploy to

garner sympathy. I wonder what his motivations are behind all these.”

Lucian nodded his head. Someone of his status would not care for someone like Grant. However, he was worried

about Roxanne being upset over having such a father.

“Perhaps he's trying to get close to you now that you possess the wealth he desires.”

Lucian's words eliminated the need for further analysis of Grant's actions.

Roxanne felt so disappointed that she resolved never to give her errant father another chance.

One week later, Roxanne no longer frequented the research institute often, yet new medicine was being produced

incessantly.

The pricing set by the medical company meant that they were suffering losses every month. Flora Verba Group

flourished under James' leadership, whereby its profits kept increasing until it was sufficient to cover the cost it took

to research the medicine.

The officials in the company had invited Roxanne to attend their commendation assembly multiple times and

wished to crown her with several titles of honor, all of which she'd refused.

Harvey had taught her not to pursue pointless fame.

He could have generated a fortune yet had chosen to remain a research professor.

On that day, Roxanne led Peregrine and several higher-ups in the research institute to the hotel. They were

preparing to meet with a medical company from Adrune to discuss patent rights.

Although they suffered losses locally, granting their patent to an international company would help them generate

more profit.

“The licensing fees will be calculated annually and will be around one billion for ten years, after which the other

party will be able to freely use the technology to produce all six types of medicine without limit.” Linda gave a brief

report to Roxanne while walking.

Then she led the team and held her head high while walking confidently, attracting the attention of the hotel

guests.

The negotiation process was simple. She faced the snobbish representatives from the international company and

insisted on the price she'd set no matter how hard they tried to negotiate with her.

She finally had a say after many years of complying with their terms while using their patent.

At last, they relented and agreed to Roxanne's price. Both parties signed the relevant documents swiftly.

Peregrine lamented as they exited the hotel, “I remember once, during my years at the research center in the

north, I needed foreign technology to save a patient. The foreigners intentionally withheld it from me, and I had no

choice but to watch helplessly as my patient's life drained away. All they care about is profit and have no respect for

ethics!”

Roxanne nodded. She'd heard of similar incidents from her mentor as well.

“Roxanne, the truth is that many people overlook how brilliant and great a person you are. They may take you as a

fool for having a non-profit-oriented research organization and medical company. However, you focus on the big

picture. That is something most ordinary people can't comprehend. I'm extremely blessed to have a chance to

work with you on such a meaningful initiative.”

Peregrine was overcome with emotion.

The rest of the higher-ups in doing research and development echoed his sentiments as they nodded. They have

never even dreamed of living a life of riches and glory when deciding to follow Roxanne as their leader. Yet Flora

Verba Group had unexpectedly given them huge bonuses. Everyone present had gotten bonuses worth several

million.

"I have to admit that I'm not as far-sighted as you think. I simply can't stand watching people in poverty suffer all

their lives because of illness.”

That was indeed how she'd initially set her goal out to be. The drastic changes along the way had not been part of

the plan.

Suddenly, Roxanne caught sight of a face that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her while she was about to step out of

the hotel entrance.

Her smile froze.

She'd bumped into the person she abhorred the most, Yuliana.
