"Mr. Beckett, this special medicine for treating strokes is in short supply. The quantity produced each year is limited and must be reported accurately. I'm sorry that you've come all this way only to go back empty-handed, but there's nothing I can do." After hanging up the phone, Jasper tightly gripped his phone, almost crushing the screen.

Jasper's eyes remained calm, but his heart wrenched. "That day, when | see Mr. Taylor, his ndition io M t PoraipsEaE not very Fie If we can't get the miracle drug soon, he'll definitely relapse shortly, and that will become a time bomb waiting to explode.
"Another relapse will be a heavy blow to both the KS Group and Lyse.
Justin is familiar ip everything! h &and (E] haa lose relationship 5 the Jesseltons. Perhaps he has even more connections than we know of. Asking him for help is our only hope now."
Xavier exclaimed indignantly, "You didn't see through his schemes, before. If you ask hid or Hels how, won't yO be giving him leverage over you? Won't he be even more arrogant?"
