Chapter 565

“There are rumors that your new drug is a fake, Ms. Sterling. Do you have any comment on that?!”
The reporters never got close. Before they could reach her, Harrison’s
bodyguards had expertly formed a protective cordon around the Unison Pharma team.
Mr. Lynn’s face turned grim at the phrase “redeem itself.” It was a stark reminder of just how poorly Unison Pharma had performed in recent years. Back when the old Chairwoman was alive, they were the undisputed industry leader. He felt he had failed her legacy.
Anastasia just chuckled softly. “Why are you so upset? Let them say ‘redeem ourselves.’ After today, Unison Pharma will reclaim its rightful place at the top. We will once again be the standard everyone else looks up to.”
Her words instantly dispelled the gloom hanging over Mr. Lynn and the others. The thought of Unison Pharma’s impending triumph filled them with eager anticipation. *That’s right, let them talk!* they thought. This wasn’t the old Unison Pharma anymore. They had a new Chairwoman, and their future was brighter than ever.
A surge of confidence rippled through the Unison Pharma team. Even Cora and the others Anastasia had brought from the Global Harmony Medical Institute were swept up in the atmosphere, feeling a strong sense of belonging.
“Let’s go,” Anastasia said, leading her team with calm composure as an attendant guided them inside.
As they walked, she glanced to the side and saw a familiar car parked nearby. Through the half-lowered window, her eyes met the deep, intense gaze of the man in the back seat-he had been watching her.
A small smile touched Anastasia’s lips, and her steps felt lighter. Harrison had come with her today.
The conference organizers had sent Harrison an invitation long ago, asking him to be a guest of honor. But since arriving in Fairhaven, he had received countless such invitations and had ignored them all. It was only because he wanted to be by her side that he’d remembered this one, sending Logan on a frantic search to dig it up.
Anastasia and her team entered the hall.
In the car, Harrison finally broke his gaze.
“Mr. Lancaster, welcome! It is an absolute honor to have you!” an excited voice boomed. The director of the organizing committee had come out to greet him personally.
Logan respectfully opened the car door, and Harrison stepped out.
The director was so thrilled he was practically speechless. He couldn’t believe Harrison Lancaster had actually come.
Harrison gave a curt nod,
exchanging a few brief pleasantries.
Though his demeanor was cool
director was still overwhelmed,
bearing as he bowed and scraped, leading Harrison inside.
But even in his excitement, he couldn’t help but wonder why Mr. Lancaster had graced them with his presence. Countless others had invited him before, and all had failed.
His assistant leaned in and
whispered, “Didn’t you know, sir? The new Chairwoman of Unison Pharma has another title-she’s the wife Mr. Lancaster married a few months ago.”
“I hear he dotes on her completely. With Ms. Sterling leading the Unison Pharma team today he probably couldn’t bear to let her come alone, so he came to support her in person!”
The director’s eyes widened in understanding. “Of course!”
