"I'm concerned that Javier Beckett might hand Jasper more power out of guilt for his son and his late wife, as well as pressure from Newton Beckett. If that happens, Jasper will be invincible." The man said calmly, "Let's play chess." Then, he moved his chess piece.

"Is it truly for my best, or are you doing this for yourself to gain a helping hand? Are you usingagainst Jasper Beckett to get your hands on Ms. Alyssa?" "No, sir. Everything I do is in your interest. That surely wasn't my intention." Jameson broke out in cold sweat as he professed his loyalty.
"I don't mind lending a helping hand. But looking back, nothing comes out of helping you. Your relationship with Ms. Alyssa is stalled, and you only seem to be pushing her further away.
"You should rely on yourself instead of others. It's useless to depend on others' help," the man spoke, sounding like a wise elder.
"Mr. Schmidt, didn't you ask for aphrodisiac from sir? Haven't you used it?" Sheryl blinked at Jameson as though she was thinking out of consideration for him. "If it's not much of help, we can share the latest drug developed by the research center with you.
"It's more potent. | believe the new drug will make Ms. Alyssa listen to you. There's no shin taking a shortcut in matters of the heart." Frowning, Jameson gripped his teacup tightly.
The man put on a serious tone. "Enough, Sheryl. Stop 8, him. The drug DAD0044 has entered the trial phase, but we ran into a minor issue." Jameson sat up straight. "Please go on." "My research center has invested a significant amount of money and effort into developing this drug. Our goal is to be the global leader in developing a cure for Parkinson's disease.

As the breeze lifted the curtains, the man laughed melodiously. "When that happens, the four esteemed families will be no match for me. Buying out the Beckett Group will be a cakewalk." Jameson's eyes lit up with excitement. He leaned forward. "Sir, Parkinson's disease shares a connection with Alzheimer's. Could drug DAD0044 possibly... cure Alzheimer's too?" The man nodded after he read Jameson's mind. He explained, "Once drug DAD0044 is successfully launched, we'll not be far from curing your mom of Alzheimer's." Jameson's voice trembled in agitation when he found a sliver of hope for his mom, who had suffered from Alzheimer's for years. "Sir, letknow if you have any issues. I'll do anything to help you out." The man leisurely sipped on the tea. Sheryl spoke out for him, "We received intel that the Lovelace Pharmaceuticals in Cyrris are developing similar drugs. Their progress is slightly ahead of us.
"We repeatedly attempted to send our man into the company to get their research data, but we failed. This will negatively impact sir's plan of developing the drug.
"Besides, Lovelace Pharmaceuticals’ research is supported by the government. If they launch the drug on the market ahead of us, sir's efforts will go down the drain. Not only that, we'll suffer huge monetary losses." Jameson furrowed his brows. "Sir, do you wantto disrupt their research? To be honest, | can't possibly achieve what you've failed to do—" "I would like you to speed up the research progress." The man's voice grew colder. "No matter what it takes, | need to market drug DAD0044 ahead of Lovelace Pharmaceuticals." Sheryl lifted a box from the table. She approached Jameson and placed the box in front of him.
She began, "For a drug to launch in the market, it will have to go through multiple experiments and trials. That will take at least a year, or in worse cases, three to five years." She glared at him. "Sir wants like you to test the drug on humans." "Test it on. humans?" Jameson looked stunned. He felt suffocated at the thought of it.
