Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 914: Regretful Remorse

"Indeed, Atractylodes can whiten, clear heat and dampness, kill mites, remove acne, and treat freckles and dark spots, but these are all for external use, like making it into mask powder. But this prescription uses the rhizome of Atractylodes, mainly to treat your spleen deficiency, lack of appetite, and edema."

July Quinn asked, "You can’t even distinguish between external and internal use? Are you sure you really developed this prescription?"

Joy Quinn’s face gradually turned pale.

Her legs began to tremble involuntarily, as if losing the strength to stand.

But the remaining spirit of not admitting defeat in her bones made her continue to argue with July Quinn.

"I understand, I understand everything, I’m just too nervous."

Yes, as long as she didn’t admit the prescription was July Quinn’s, July wouldn’t be able to do anything with her.

Seeing Joy’s persistence, July Quinn wasn’t annoyed; instead, she smiled and continued to ask her:

"Since you understand, why don’t you tell me which ingredients in here can’t be used with licorice?"

July Quinn was smiling, beautifully dazzling.

But facing this charming smile, Joy’s mind went blank.

She had never been exposed to Chinese medicine and understanding all the effects of the drugs in July Quinn’s house was already very difficult.

How could she know which drugs couldn’t be used with licorice?

This question wasn’t covered in the topics she had studied.

She had no idea how to answer.

But July Quinn, as if knowing Joy wouldn’t be able to answer, continued to question before she replied:

"If the prescriptions in your paper were to be mass-produced, which ingredients should be removed to better suit the general public’s bodies and ensure no accidents would happen?"

Just like the previous question, Joy still couldn’t answer.

"Can’t answer? Then if you don’t understand anything, yet plan to mass-produce the prescription, how many lives do you have to compensate if something goes wrong?"

Indeed, Joy was anxious to mass-produce the prescription to bring herself wealth.

After the paper won an award, she had already approached three medical beauty companies intending to mass-produce this whitening medicine.

Two of them had signed contracts, just waiting for the project to start.

But Joy hadn’t told anyone about this, not even Amanda Ford knew.

Yet how did July Quinn know about it?

But regardless of how July knew, Joy never thought of risking her own life.

Thinking about those drugs being manufactured, entering the market, and causing accidents, she knew she wouldn’t have enough lives to compensate. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But now the contracts were signed, and going back on them, in addition to being discovered for academic dishonesty, would mean facing huge breach-of-contract penalties.

It could be said that this reckless move had blocked all her paths.

Afraid and helpless, unable to care that so many people were watching in the interview hall, Joy cried and asked July:

"Sister, what should I do?"

The situation was so complicated now that she didn’t know how to proceed.

But if July was willing to guide her out of her predicament, she believed she could be reborn from the ashes.

Thinking about this made her suddenly miss the days when she would always follow July around, being meticulously taken care of by her.

If she hadn’t made a move back then, hadn’t completely fallen out with July, she wouldn’t be struggling now; she might have even secured a decent position at Golden Kapok Academy.

The more she thought about it, the more regretful Joy felt.

But in response to her helpless inquiry, July answered: "I told you before, if you don’t court disaster, you won’t die. You chose this path yourself; what can I do about it?"
