Chapter 99: Marcus Wanted to Play the Hero and Save the Beauty, Begging Her to Come Back
Gemma walked into the operation room.
She immediately noticed something was off with the medicine ingredients and had the raw materials for the antipyretic and analgesic drugs.
But they were substandard, weighed wrong, and contained impurities.
She threw her hands up and refused to contime.
“I can’t do this. The ingredients are not good enough.”
Brian only had a basic understanding of drug preparation and didn’t know the actual ratios at all.
“I should’ve realized this earlier.”
He slapped his forehead, deeply regretful.
“I originally thought that even with all the mess, the Read family would stand united in the face of a common enemy.
“Now I finally understand what the old saying ‘to drive out the external enemy, one must first pacify the internal turmoil really means.”
Gemma shrugged, “It’s no use saying this now. We should focus on solving the problem.”
Brian gave a bitter smile, “He wants me out of the picture. How could he possibly give me a chance to fix things?”
Outside.
Yvonne pulled out her phone and started recording
“Why aren’t they making a move yet? Are they busy flirting
“Mr. Harvey, now I see what you meant about the attitude of the Read family’s employees.”
Harvey’s face darkened.
“I’ll have someone go remind them.”
Yvonne sneered, “Forget it. Why disturb those two love birds
They were too busy with their own feelings during work.
Even though everyone else was waiting for results, they were still leisurely taking their time.
Her words clearly placed Gemma and Brian on the pedestal of shame.
Harvey glanced at Marcus, nervously.
When he saw that Marcus wasn’t upset at all, he let out a sigh of relief.
The truth was. Marcus wasn’t indifferent.
He believed that since he’d decided to give Gemina a second chance, the first step was to trust her and give her freedom.
He was certain that Gemma had loved him all these years.
Even though they were divorced now, she still couldn’t let go of him. She had no emotional ties to Brian.
While he wasn’t thrilled about the situation, he couldn’t interrupt Gemma’s work.
She had stuck with her medical career for so many years.
He hadn’t been able to stop her before, and now, even less so.
It was better to respect her choices.
After all, once she’d hit a wall outside, she’d realize her home was the best place to be.
Then, she’d be more at ease staying by his side.
This was the beginning of her awakening to the harsh realities of society!

He gripped the plastic bottle tightly,
This was his trump card for the day.
He was waiting for Gemma come
out looking like a mess so that he could swoop
oop in like a hero and save her.
At that moment, her face would be filled with admiration, gratitude…
She’d probably be dying to remarry him on the spot.
A slight smile curled his lips.
But then-
Someone suddenly shouted. They’re starting!”
Everyone looked up in surprise.
Sure enough, in the video, Gemma began measuring the solution.
The surveillance cameras in the room were 360 degrees with no blind spots. Every step she took was magnified.
Yvonne turned off her phone, feeling bored.
She had originally wanted to expose Gemma and Brian’s unusual relationship to Mr. Cassius, but these two had been polite
the whole time.
Looks like she’d have to find another chance for revenge.
“What are they doing?”
A voice suddenly spoke up.
“Aren’t they supposed to be making an antipyretic and analgesic? Why are they just adding dexamethasone?
“Is this how the Read family always cuts corners?”
“The Read family always said they valued integrity. Who knew… this is a total slap in the face!”
A group of people glared at Harvey with disdain.
If the situation had been different, they probably would have ganged up

him
Harvey looked embarrassed.
Although he wanted to use this to bring Brian down, he didn’t want to ruin the Read family’s reputation
“Everyone, please calm down. This expert was invited by Brian. Experts often have unconventional methods. Let’s be patient and wait a bit longer.”
Others frowned.
“She’s so young, what kind of expert is she?”
Harvey explained reluctantly. “I was told she’s Dr. Kelestine, who saved Mr. Gray. I’m not too sure.”
“Saved Mr. Gray? Wasn’t it Dr. Wayn and his team who
o did that? This girl must have someone backing her up.”
“I’ve seen people use false names for fame, but I didn’t expect someone like her to be so bold.”
“Mr. Brian is a doctor himself. How could he be fooled by someone like this? If Read family ever makes him the head, the company is as good as doomed.”
Harvey felt his plan was going well and relaxed
Marcus, on the other hand, calmly rubbed the plastic bottle in his hand.
But inside, he was already thinking about how he’d talk to Gemma if she cried and thanked him.
Suddenly, Mr. Hamilton stood up abruptly, staring at the screen.
Everyone who had been casually chatting was startled into silence.
They turned to look at him, realizing it was Mr. Hamilton,
His finger trembled as he pointed at the video of Gemma.

“This… this mixture… is… is high–dose chloramphenicol!”
Everyone froze.
As experts in the pharmaceutical field, they all knew about it.
Chloramphenicol was a widely used antibiotic with powerful antibacterial properties. Though it had many uses, it had to be handled with care when the dose was too high.
The preparation method for chloramphenicol had matured over time, but when mixed in specific ratios, its effects could be greatly enhanced.
“Mr. Hamilton, are you sure?”
Yvonne’s face turned dark.
She had only thought that Gemma was good at surgery, never expecting her to have such skills in pharmaceuticals.
She started to panic.
Mr. Cassius always valued talent, and once he knew about this, he’d only appreciate Gemma more.
But Yvonne had just turned against Gemma. If Gemma said a few words in front of him, getting into Beasleys would be nearly impossible for her..
She bit her lip.
Mr. Hamilton sneered, “You invited me here, and now you’re questioning my judgment?
Yvonne hurriedly explained, “No, no, I just didn’t expect such a rare and precise formulation of high–dose chloramphenicol
“Indeed, the balance of this antibiotic is crucial. Only with the right mix can it ensure its effects while minimizing side
effects.
“She’s a genius! This formula could have a huge impact in clinical practice.”
“If this drug comes out, it will be a blessing for the entire pharmaceutical industry!”
Right now, the market for antipyretic and analgesic drugs was booming, and prices were skyrocketing.
If this high–dose chloramphenicol formula was successful, the sales would be unprecedented!
This was an opportunity for both the pharmaceutical world and for businessmen.
At that moment, everyone in the room looked at the video with intense, eager eyes.
This genius had to be theirs
Even if they couldn’t get her, they had to get the antipyretic and analgesic she’d created!
