Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1072

Chapter 1072 A Business Deal

Abel’s mocking comment made Maxine blush. She was used to being pampered, and other than Luke, no other man had ever treated her like that before.

That made her even angrier.

"Looks like you've been seduced by Bianca too," Maxine said coldly.

"Alright, that's enough. Aren't we on the sside? We shouldn't be quibbling." Hera stepped up to be the mediator when she saw that the atmosphere was becoming tense. It would be bad if Maxine made Abel angry before the deed was done.

Maxine grunted coldly, sat on the couch, and turned her head away.

Abel lit up a cigar and dragged from it. "You don't have to worry about Bianca. Now that she's with me, she'll be begging forto kill her." "That better be the case." Maxine paused for a while and added, ’ Not only that, but I want her to give up entirely on Luke." "I think so too." Abel laughed brazenly as he leaned on the couch. The main objective of his visit was to ask Maxine for a favor.

"Helpget sphotos," he said.

"What photos?" Maxine finally turned to look at him.

Abel grinned. "Photos of Luke with other women."

He wanted Bianca's love for Luke to die entirely, then be reborn from the ashes. If she had nothing but hatred for Luke, she would lose all hope of reuniting with him. Desperate women like that would be easily manipulated.

Maxine chuckled coldly. "You might as well find someone to edit those photos for you. Why did you have to call the way here?" "That won't be convincing. This is the latest drug. If Luke takes it, he'll fall unconscious and be under your control." Abel took out a small vial from his pocket.

Maxine's eyes sparkled when she saw that.

Abel knew what she was thinking, so he reminded her, "He'll be unconscious, but he won't do anything else.”

Maxine was not embarrassed that Abel guessed her thoughts. She asked," Do you have any other drugs?" "Yes, but the side effects are serious. If you don't give Luke the correct dose, he might be impotent for the rest of his life." Abel took out a blue vial and flashed a sinister grin. Do you want this? If Luke is impotent, he won't have any other women." "No." Maxine refused instantly and rolled her eyes at him. She wanted to be physically intimate with Luke, but she would not want to permanently harm him.

Abel did not try to convince her. He stashed away the vial and took out a ncard. "Once you get the photos, you can send them to my email." "Sure." Maxine narrowed her gaze as she looked at the white vial. With the drug, she could definitely take snice photos.

She could not help but be happy when she realized that she was involved in Bianca's torment.

After that, Abel talked about the next topic. "Ms. Douglas, I have sbusiness for you. I wonder if you'd be interested." "What business?" Maxine replied carelessly, her attention fully focused on the vial.

"These two drugs," Abel said while taking out the blue vial once more." These are the newest products from our lab. They'll bring huge profits if you manage to market them?"

Abel needed funds to redevelop the Island of Despair, so he asked Shanks to invent the drugs.

"Didn't you say that it'll cause permanent damage?" Maxine frowned. She had no intention of investing in it.

"As risky as it might be, there'll always be a market for it. You don't have to worry about that," Abel said. Lust was a major driver of human behavior.

He knew that people would buy the drug to satisfy their personal desires.

"I can't market this in the country. What kind of collaboration are you looking for?" Maxine became serious. She finally understood Abel's true purpose in meeting her.

"My lab has many other drugs that can cure various diseases, and they're much more effective than what you can find in the market now. As long as I receive funding, I can apply for patents, and there'll be plenty of chances for us to collaborate," Abel said. There was money to be made in both channels.

He could not market certain drugs openly, so he had to look for Maxine.

She was the perfect partner because both of them had dirt on each other.

Maxine sank into deep thought. Investing in a pharmaceutical startup required a lot of money, and she could not make that decision.

"Can you givea few days to think about it?" She said.

"I can only give you one day. If you don't givean answer, I'll just have to look for another partner." Abel did not give her too much tto consider." I'm very confident in my researcher, Ms. Douglas. I can say that any drug on the market now isn't as effective as what he's making." "Alright." Maxine saw that he was in a hurry to look for a partner. "Is there anything else?" "That's all." Abel could tell that she was hinting at him to leave. He hugged Hera and stood up. "You can contactwith your decision

before this ttomorrow." "Mm." Maxine planned to discuss it with her parents. To Capital Corp, the amount that Abel asked for was not a lot. However, it was a lot of money for her.

Abel brought Hera to the door. "Beautiful lady, how about we rent a room here?" "Sounds good. I'll be able to accompany you for the next few days." Hera was very excited. With him around, she would be able to enjoy the services of the six-star hotel for the next few days.

"Good. I like it when you are proactive." Abel hugged her waist. Before he left the room, he turned and spoke to the woman behind him. "Luke Crawford might like women with pure looks, but he is more fond of women who are self-reliant. Think about it, Ms. Douglas. Luke's attitude toward you might change if he finds out that you're not relying on your family's wealth."

Maxine looked at the couple contemptuously.

'Hera is really daring. Isn’t she afraid that she'll die in the hands of that man?'

After they left, Maxine kept the vials and took out her phone. She prepared to call her parents to discuss funding Abel's venture.

If something bad happened to the company in the future, they would only be losing money.

They were not responsible for the company's operations, so they would not be implicated.

If the company was a success, she would be swimming in riches. After all, hospitals were the most profitable ventures. So many people in the world fell sick every day, and everyone needed medicine to survive.

That made her even more determined to invest in Abel's venture. She dialed her father's phone number.

After leaving Maxine's room, Hera took Abel's money to book a presidential suite.

She cback up with the access cards and a smile on her face. Then, she held Abel's hand and waved the access cards. "We'll be staying next door."
