"Fine," Iris huffed, but reluctantly fell silent at the man's words.
Simon finally breathed a sigh of relief. This woman was truly a demanding handful, and among all the distinguished guests present today, the Crawford family was the one he least dared to offend.
After everyone had entered the venue, Meridith flashed her VIP card and strode in. The moment she stepped inside, her eyes immediately began scanning the crowd for any sign of Georgia.
Just as she locked eyes with Georgia, she overheard Simon, scowling as he spoke to Caroline.
"All the sellers and buyers at this auction are from the elite. Except for that shameless Georgia, the rest are all pharmaceutical tycoons! I really don't get why you'd invite someone like Georgia. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Hearing her husband's complaints, Caroline smiled slightly. Of course, she dared not admit that the auction's popularity was all thanks to capitalizing on Georgia's controversial presence.
"Sure, I invited her. But there's no way I'll let Georgia's medicine sell for more than anyone else's. Otherwise, we'd become a laughingstock for even holding this auction."
But they couldn't let her fall too quickly. Otherwise, what kind of spectacle would the auction have left to offer?
Seeing Caroline's confidence, Simon simply remarked coolly, "If you're sure you have it under control."
Alicia was the last auction participant to arrive. As she filled out the form for her special medicine, her eyes landed on the drug name Georgia had written. She froze in shock, a cold sweat breaking out all over her body, her hands trembling.
'Targeted Radiotherapy Drug for Cancer?' she thought, stunned.
She knew better than anyone how Caroline had once shot to fame with a report on this very kind of drug, and she was even more aware of Georgia's true abilities.
She originally intended to use both Caroline and Georgia's influence to gain recognition in the national pharmaceutical industry. But now, seeing the medicine Georgia had brought, an overwhelming sense of crisis washed over her.
With trembling hands, Alicia finished filling out the auction registration form and stepped into the auction hall, her gaze never leaving Georgia.
With Georgia here, there was no way she would get her chance to shine. But she had waited so long for this shot at fame. She couldn't let it slip away. She had to find a way to force Georgia out before her special-effect drug even comes up for auction.
After Kendall received the complete list of drugs from all the auction participants, she hurried over and handed it to Caroline.
The moment Caroline saw Georgia's drug listed, the cup of tea in her hand trembled slightly.
Noticing the panic in Caroline's eyes, Simon, looking concerned, quickly walked over. "What's wrong?"
Kendall responded urgently,
"Georgia is auctioning the exact same drug as ours today, Targeted Radiotherapy Drug for Cancer. And it's not just hers, Alicia's is identical too!"
Simon knitted his brows and said to Caroline, "Didn't you say Alicia doesn't have any real skills? She shouldn't be much of a threat, right?"
"And as for Georgia, didn't she try to steal credit for your research on the Targeted Radiotherapy Drug for Cancer back then? They're both just your past conquests, so what are you afraid of?"
Hearing this, Caroline forced a tight smile.
"They're nothing to worry about," she said through gritted teeth. "But for her to dare showcase the exact same drug as ours at an auction I'm hosting is a direct challenge to my face!"
Seeing the resentment in Caroline's eyes, Kendall quickly tried to placate her.
"Perhaps they're just trying to ride the coattails of our special medicine to gain some fame?" Kendall suggested.
Hearing Kendall's words, Simon scoffed, "If that's really the case, it just proves they know full well their drugs can't compare to yours. What kind of special-effect drugs could two nobodies possibly develop? Don't forget, you're now a nationally renowned pharmaceutical expert!"
"Absolutely right, Mr. Kemp," Kendall chimed in. "Just in terms of status, we already have the upper hand over them..."
The auction lineup was quickly finalized. Aside from the offerings from a few renowned domestic pharmaceutical companies, Alicia, Georgia, and Caroline all submitted drugs with identical names.
