Frieda took two steps back subconsciously as she defended herself, "Did I say anything wrong? If Queen Group lands into trouble because we go against Farwell Group, that will be a huge crisis!"
Jonathan felt his temples throbbing. Clenching his jaw, he admonished, "Do you know why Queen Group can stand tall for over a century?"
Frieda hung her head low and said nothing.
"That's because we deliver what we promise!" Jonathan shot her a disappointed look. "If we give up on our principle easily because of personal matters, Queen Group will lose the credibility to do business in the medical industry!"
Frieda cowered back and glanced at Alfred cautiously. She said humbly, "Jonathan, I'm doing this for Queen Group's sake. No company in Horington dares to go against Farwell Group! Mrs. Farwell warned every medicinal herb supplier in Horington to stay away from Roxanne. If we don't do the same, how will she think of us? Our relationship with Farwell Group might take a toll. It isn't worth the risk."
She then glanced at Jonathan to gauge his reaction.
Jonathan stared at her icily and waited for her to devise more excuses to justify her foolish actions.
"Don't you know what Roxanne did to the Farwell family six years ago? She deserves to get punished for her irresponsible actions." Frieda tried to add fuel to the fire.
Right after she said that, Jonathan let out an icy snort.
Frieda's heart leaped to her throat as she shot him a perplexed look.
"You remember what Dr. Jarvis did to the Farwell family six years ago, so I believe you still remember how Dr. Jarvis cured Grandpa a while ago." The more Frieda spoke, the more ridiculous Jonathan felt. He promptly exposed Frieda's lousy excuse.
Taken aback, Frieda turned to look at Alfred instinctively.
Based on what Jonathan said, it was clear that Alfred had made up his mind.
