Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 173

Her heart was filled with happiness back then. But now, her emotions remained unaffected. After so many years, Ned hadn't made any progress at all. He was still as immature as ever. Angeline had no intention of leaving, so she told Edward, "The main purpose of my visit today is to discuss the batch of advanced experimental equipment that Vitality Biotech Group promised to provide to Oceanford College.

"They have already coordinated with the overseas supplier, and the equipment will probably be shipped here after the hearing. I wonder if the new laboratories are ready to accept the equipment?" "That's great! That's really great! The new laboratories are all set, and we can receive the equipment any time," replied Edward, nodding with a smile.

"Angeline, please convey my gratitude to the founder of Vitality Biotech Group. You know... we've invited them several times, but their founder refuses to give a speech at our school. They're too low-key." "They should be pretty occupied with their experiments, so they can't spare the time," she said, not revealing her identity to Edward.

She smiled and stood before saying, "I'd like to see the new laboratories. Is now convenient?"

"Sure! Let me take you there," said Donald with a wide grin.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed.

After visiting the new biology laboratory with Donald, Angeline left Oceanford College without even thinking about meeting Ned at their "usual spot".

Donald stood at the school gate and watched her leave, murmuring, "Relationships among young people are so complicated.

"First, Ned married Angeline. Then, he lost his memory and was engaged to Ingrid. Now, he regained his memory and is back to look for Angeline. I really don't understand..."

"Boss, Fletcher Corporation is determined to sign the contract with us! I was just told they've lowered the rates by another 0.1% on their own volition!"

As she listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, Angeline stood before the kitchen sink, tapping her fingers on the countertop while waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing her coffee. "Since Fletcher Corporation is so eager to cooperate with us, let's no longer delay the contract signing. Tell them we don't need them to lower the rate by another 0.1%."

"Are you serious, Boss?" said the voice on the other end of the phone in disbelief.

Angeline said, "But before signing the contract, tell them we have one condition. We won't provide any financial support for the first batch of drugs. They need to produce qualified medications within one month to prove the reliability of their production capacity and cash flow.

"As long as they can deliver the first batch on time and meet the standards, we at Vitality Biotech Group will confidently assign the large-scale orders to Fletcher Corporation." She picked up the coffee and walked toward the living room.

She added, "Remember to specify in the contract that whichever party breaches the agreement shall pay a hefty penalty. Oh, and draft a separate confidentiality agreement for the drug formula." "Understood!" the person on the phone responded with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, she stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the pouring rain in Oceanford while sipping her coffee.

She was well aware of the

manufacturing capabilities of the Fletcher Corporation. It was simply impossible for them to complete the first batch of drugs within a month. So, naturally, they would need the help of Yates Group.

A smile played on Angeline's lips.

Tommy Yates... Yates Group.

She wondered how Ned would cover for Yates Group again if Tommy caused trouble this time. Would he even sacrifice Fletcher Corporation to protect Tommy for the sake of Ingrid?

Marked with rain droplets, the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window reflected Angeline's delicate and smiling features. Yet, the smile didn't reach her eyes.

The rain poured harder and harder.

Ned stood under the eaves on the top floor of Oceanford College's laboratory building. His pants from below the knees were already soaked, but he still hadn't seen the person he was waiting for
