“Well, here’s what happened,” Joel then proceeded to explain everything to his father, including how he

came up with the plan to sabotage Elegante Group’s name and how he managed to steal most of

Elegante Group’s secret recipe, save for the most crucial ingredient.

“I see what you did now!” Sebastian gasped in realization. Although Joel’s plan was foiled, he had to

admit that the plan was flawless!

Unfortunately, all of them severely underestimated Leon–not only did he manage to see right through

Joel’s scheme, but he even managed to heal Lacey within just minutes, which was what ultimately led

to Joel’s downfall in the first place!

Thankfully, Joel’s efforts were not in vain–at least he managed to steal most of Elegante Group’s secret

recipe, save for the final and most important ingredient!

This was the best thing that came out of this series of unfortunate events!

“Father, not only did Yuri attack me, but now he even forced me to apologize publicly to Elegante

Group. This is unacceptable! We can’t let him win this!” Joel snarled.

“I know that, son! Even I’m outraged at the way you’re being treated!” Sebastian echoed. After all, the

Hiltons were one of the most powerful families in the Southern region and were no lesser than the

Thompsons. Although he was forced to agree to Yuri’s terms, the truth was, Sebastian, did not feel that

they deserved this and was holding a grudge against Yuri and the Thompsons!

“Also, Leon and Elegante Group have successfully become a threat to our reputation, so we have to

find a way to get rid of them and get our hands on the secret recipe to their purified water at once!” Joel

said, his face distorted in a grotesque grin. He was still unwilling to give up his plans of taking down

Elegante Group!

On the contrary, after his loss to Leon, he wanted to return with a vengeance and finish what he

started!

“You’re right, my son! We have to find a way to get rid of them before they take over the entire market!

However, since the Thompsons possess a part of Elegante Group’s shares and will be keeping an

even closer eye on us, we have to be even more cautious in the future!” Sebastian agreed.

Elegante Group was proving to be an even bigger threat than any of them anticipated. Sooner or later,

Elegante Group would grow to become their biggest competitor in the cosmeceutical field, and like

Joel, he could not possibly sit by while Elegante Group flourished!

He was not too worried about the Thompsons taking revenge. After all, the Thompsons‘ power was on

par with the Hiltons, and thus he was not afraid of them at all! He was certain that as long as they were

more careful in the future, the Thompsons would never be able to pin the blame on them as they did

now!

As long as they left no evidence, there was nothing the Thompsons could do, not even if they

destroyed. Elegante Group altogether!

Since Elegante Group’s products were of such great quality, not only would taking them down help

them rid of a competitor, but they would even be able to steal this technology for their own and bring in

significant profits that way!

Because of this, both Sebastian and Joel had their sights set on Elegante Group, and were determined

to stop at nothing to bring them down!

Greed was certainly what made the world go round!
