Chapter 1566 Solve
Roxanne sat in the cafe for some time before returning to the research institute.
The result of the discussion was slightly out of her expectations.
She was under the assumption that as the heir of the Damaris family, Jack would prioritize a patient’s survival
regardless of how much he cared about making a profit. Also, she assumed he could accept the marketing strategy
of increasing sales by reducing the financial gain margin.
To her surprise, Jack was very dissatisfied with the price she offered and even denied her the opportunity to
negotiate.
“How is it, Dr. Jarvis? When will Damaris Group resume the supply of medicinal herbs?” Linda approached Roxanne
the moment the latter stepped into the research institute.

delay the registration process as long as you can. As for the factory… If they are impatient, you can offer them
more money.”
Linda had served Roxanne for many years, so she could tell Roxanne was caught in a tight spot at that moment by
taking in her facial expression.
“I got it. I’ll handle these issues. However, our employees in charge of developing this medicine are getting
restless.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne slightly knitted her brows in anxiety.
Most researchers at the research institute hoped that the success of inventing that medicine could help them make
a living. Now that the medicine had been developed, and they could finally be rewarded after the drug was
marketed, the process was unfortunately stuck at the final phase.
At that instant, Roxanne couldn’t help but doubt herself. Is Jack right? Am I too naive to assume the simplicity of this
matter? Not everyone can regard a patient’s survival with utmost importance like me, after all.
After contemplating for a long while, Roxanne decided to stand firm on her original intention, so she said to Linda in
an undertone, “Pay their bonuses in advance using my name.”
Linda suddenly recalled something and asked, “Some time ago, Mr. Damaris also announced his will to provide the
employees with incentives from his own pocket. When he banks in the money—”
“Refund the amount to him,” Roxanne interjected without hesitation. This is the most critical moment during our
negotiation. I cannot allow Jack to have too many interactions with my employees. If he knows we haven’t found a
backup supplier for our medicinal herbs, he might even refuse to accept a thirty-five percent share!
Linda hummed in agreement and turned around to execute Roxanne’s orders.
Roxanne stayed in her office alone and mulled over the discussion with Jack in the afternoon.

On her way back to the research institute, she couldn’t help but imagine how Lucian would’ve responded if he had
been the one to negotiate the terms with Jack. I reckon he must have some ways to convince Jack to accept selling
the medicinal herbs at that low price.
She repeatedly picked up her phone and placed it back down as she hesitated to seek guidance from Lucian.
However, she gave up on that thought ultimately after some careful ponderation.
She had decided to face Jack on her own because she wanted to assess how much she had learned from Lucian
throughout that period.
Roxanne felt Lucian must’ve believed in her capabilities, too, for allowing her to engage in the discussion alone.
Only half a day had passed since my meeting with Jack turned south. I think I should give myself more time. It’s not
entirely impossible for me to resolve this issue on my own.
With that thought in her mind, Roxanne picked up the telephone on the office desk. Then, she started contacting
the medicinal herb suppliers that she had previously worked with and found their herbs’ quality acceptable.
Unfortunately, the suppliers flinched when they listened to her stringent requirements for the medicinal herbs’
standards. They even doubted the existence of the top-quality herbs mentioned by Roxanne.
