Chapter 50
Estelle lifted her head and asked, “Is there something wrong?”
Seeing that she’d noticed her, Madison said apologetically, “Sorry, am I bothering you?”
Estelle shook her head. “Did something happen?
Madison sat beside her
sighed.
“It’s the herbs again. Mr. Glover gave us what we asked for, but the quality isn’t what we specified. The other suppliers are all…” She trailed off, carefully watching Estelle. She didn’t dare finish her sentence.
She hadn’t expected them to be this unreasonable. Although manufacturing the cancer treatment drug was easy for them now, the drug’s efficacy still fell short of their expectations.
Madison felt her guilt rising by the second.
She slapped her forehead. “I’m so useless. I can’t even get this small thing right.”
Estelle held her hands and tried to comfort her.
“It’s not your fault. Someone’s deliberately stopping us from reaching our goals,” she said
softly.
Madison’s eyes widened.
“It must be Dillon.”
Estelle went silent at the name but then shook her head. “This isn’t Dillon’s style. It feels more like Timothy.”
At the mention of Timothy, Madison looked disgusted, like she’d swallowed a fly.
“You mean Alison’s ass–kisser? You think he’s capable of this?”
Estelle let out a bitter laugh.
“Timothy’s a Sawford. And Alison’s been relying on Dillon’s power to get her way all these
years.
With him always hanging out with her, he has also learned how to abuse his authority.
“They’re both really good at that now.”
Madison was repulsed.
“It’s a shame they’re not together. With personalities like that, they’d be perfect for each other.”
A trace of menace flashed in Estelle’s eyes. If they wanted to cause trouble, they’d better be ready to face the consequences.
She took out her phone and opened her alternate WhatsApp account, a playful smile forming on her lips.
Madison caught sight of her expression and was stunned.
“Stella, you should smile more. You look so pretty when you smile.”
Hearing that, Estelle immediately put on a stern face.
“Alright, enough with your sweet talk. Why don’t you make a batch of the drug using Mr. Glover’s
herbs? That way, we’ll have
age when we discontinue our contract with him.”
“Discontinue the contract?” you serious? a better supplier How are we supposed to attract distributors?
But if we do that, we won’t, Madison’s eyes widened, and her voice rose. “Are

She smiled cunningly.
have?
It had been a while since she’d stepped into the field. This was the perfect opportunity.
She wondered if any stories about her still circulated in the field.
That night, word spread far and wide that the renowned collector Alex would be appearing at
the auction.
At the Waverly Group building, Lance Sterling of the Sterling family was meeting with Dillon, holding an invitation in his hand.
Lance sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and body leaning lazily back.
“Mr. Waverly, are you really sitting this one out?
Dillon looked up slowly and glanced at the man, who smiled like a cunning fox.
“I’m not interested.”
Lance let out a sigh.
“Why say such cold words with that melodic voice of yours? At first, I thought if you were going, I might share some news about Estelle. But it seems that…”
Dillon set down the pen in his hand and fixed his gaze on him. It was a signal for him to get to the point, but Lance chose to leave things hanging.
“Mr. Waverly, I’ll be waiting.”
Then he stood, placed the invitation in front of Dillon, and his calculating gaze turned playful.
“Don’t worry. The news I’ve got will definitely be worth your while. And Alex will be there,

too. This auction is bound to be an interesting one.”
Without another word, he set the auction list down in front of Dillon and flipped to one of the
pages.
