My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2320

The Sherwood family dominated the medical field, and they had a big influence on the corporate world. A few years back, after the president and his wife passed away in a car accident, their daughter, Emily, took over the company. Emily was influenced by how the big corporations worked and decided to drive the company to new heights. She led the company forward by making risky choices that angered the investors and damaged their reputations. However, they remained the best pharmaceutical company in the world.

Humans got sick all the time, and medicine was a necessity. Since Emily was the lone leader of a big corporation, she must be filthy rich, so why was she doing such a sketchy illegal deal?

I met her once at a cocktail party and spoke with her a little. She was interesting and humorous, unlike all the other boring upper-class ladies. She was the furthest person from what I thought Drug Wolf would be.

Hearing Hendrix's words, Emily was not angry. Instead, she greeted me politely, "Miss Reid, nice to see you again."

I reached out to shake her hand. My hand touched only the surface of her palm ever so gently, and it felt like I was touching something so cold that her hand froze the insides of my body. I tried hard to mask my expression and pulled up the corner of my lips into a half-smile. "Hello, Miss Sherwood."

Emily pursed her lips and looked at the person behind me. The bodyguard who escorted me up took the initiative and left.

Before I could react, Emily took the initiative to speak again. "I have heard a lot about you. To be honest, I admire you very much for risking your life for love."

Her words sounded like she was insulting me. I smiled awkwardly and thanked her reluctantly, "That's far from the truth."

"Don't be modest. I'm sincere in my admiration. Haha." Emily took my hand and patted it as if we were a pair of enthusiastic old friends she had known for many years.

I only felt a cold shiver down my back. On such an occasion, I was using a brand new identity to greet the world, but the other party seemed to have seen through my trump card with ease. It scared me a little. I figured no one would feel at ease.
