Jack was still unperturbed despite Hector's wrath. He said, “Grandpa, Dr. Jarvis was insistent about selling the new drug for a hundred and twenty per box. I'm afraid no one will accept that price because that will not be a profiting deal.”
When Hector heard that, his vision went dark, and he nearly passed out from his anger.
He did not expect the heir he handpicked to put such importance on profits.
“Is the Damaris family short of that small amount of money?” the elderly man asked as he held his chest and gasped for air.
Jack lowered his head and fell silent, but anyone could still tell what he was thinking about. He felt that the company would end up making losses, so it was not worth working with Roxanne.
A surge of disappointment washed over Hector as he looked at his grandson. “I chose you as the Damaris family's heir because I thought you'd understand that the Damaris family's reputation of a hundred years was made with the kindness of physicians, not the wealth of physicians.”
Jack answered gloomily, “I understand.”
Hector glared at him again. “You do not! How many years has it been since the Damaris family develop a drug that can change many people's lives? We were close to developing a good drug by working with Roxanne, but you messed it up!”
At that point, the press conference had reached its end. Roxanne and the other two men had gone past the crowd of reporters with the bodyguards escorting them.
The collaboration had been set in stone.
Knowing that there was no way to turn the tables anymore, Hector gave up. He waved his hand dismissively and muttered, “Forget it. I think you've lost track of your initial aspiration. Set aside your task in managing Damaris Group and work in pro bono medical consultations instead to get back your original aspiration. I'll get someone else to manage Damaris Group for now.”
Jack's heart lurched when he heard that, and he snapped his head upward to stare at Hector in disbelief.
