Second Marriage to Mr. Rich novel Chapter 159

Angeline tucked strands of her messy hair behind her ear. She cleared her throat.

"Is Fletcher Corporation in a rush?" she asked.

"They are quite eager," came the reply.

"Even though they are eager, tell them not to rush. At Vitality Biotech, we always offer domestic partners prices much lower than international rates. We do this to benefit our own country with our technology. I don't want a repeat of what happened with Zenith Ventures. If they disagree with our terms, we'll keep pressing them," Angeline stated.

Vitality Biotech had a partnership with Zenith Ventures previously. However, they raised their prices to be higher than international medical centers. Angeline would have preferred Vitality to deal with the hospitals directly if not for the complicated process involved in working with domestic hospitals that ultimately delayed usage.

"But Tyler said business is about making money…"

"We're not cutting Fletcher Corporation out from any profit margins. We simply don't have one for ourselves. If they can't accept that, then no partnership is needed. Tell Tyler this is my decision. No exceptions," Angeline insisted.

The other party didn't press further at the firmness of her tone.

"Okay, I understand. Focus on your work and leave the rest to us."

"Alright..."

After hanging up, Angeline held her phone and gazed at the sparkling lights of Krontos. She then called Yasmine.

"Mommy!"

Yasmine's cheerful voice came through.

"Mommy, I'm playing with clay with the beautiful Mrs. Lawson. She said my little cups, once baked, can hold water! I made cups for you, brother, and Daddy! I even drew you on them! Mrs. Lawson praised my drawings!"

Angeline's lips curved into a gentle smile.

"Good. Enjoy your stay with Mrs. Lawson and Mr. Lawson Senior."

"I've poured water for you. Take the hangover medicine and rest early," Angeline said as she closed her laptop.

"I'm going to Oceanford tomorrow. I'll return after I sort a few things out."

"Alright. I'll be waiting for you! I'll be visiting the old Lawson residence often to be with Yasmine. Don't worry too much," Sean said.

As his gaze fell on Angeline's bitten lip, he said, "Wait. Take a seat first..."

"Hm?"

Angeline was puzzled.

Sean retrieved a first aid kit from under the TV cabinet. He pointed at Angeline's lip.

"There's a wound on your lip."
