Caroline stood on stage, her smile calm and graceful, but inside, she was unleashing a torrent of silent curses.
Kendall kept a close watch on Caroline's expression on stage. The moment Caroline showed even a hint of displeasure in her eyes, she would immediately kick Alicia out.
Caroline's smile slowly began to curdle. If she were to crush Alicia's special-effect drug right now, then by the time she utterly annihilated Georgia, the dramatic impact would be severely diminished, and the entire hype surrounding this launch auction would lose its appeal.
Alicia must have seen through Caroline's scheme, which was why she was acting so audaciously.
'Can't believe I'm actually being threatened by Alicia, just a cleaner!' Caroline gnashed her teeth, forcing a smile.
Just then, a sudden shout came from the VIP section below.
"100 thousand dollars!"
All eyes instantly snapped to the source. It was none other than the haughty Iris, who had just been making a scene moments earlier.
Hearing her special-effect drug fetch such a high price, Alicia felt an instant wave of relief.
She never expected this.
Caroline was absolutely livid. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect Alicia's drug to fetch such an astronomical price. It had even surpassed the combined value of all her previous pharmaceutical products.
"100 thousand! Miss Crawford has bid 100 thousand dollars! Do I hear any higher bids?" the auctioneer exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement.
Silence filled the room as no one else raised the bid, so he pressed on.
"100 thousand, once!"
"100 thousand, twice!"
"100 thousand, three times!"
With a decisive rap of the gavel, the lot was sold.
With the handover procedures complete, Alicia gracefully exited the stage amidst the audience's applause.
Next up was Caroline. As the auctioneer grandly introduced the special-effect drug she was presenting, a fresh wave of excitement rippled through the audience.
With Alicia's detailed presentation still fresh in everyone's mind, Caroline's introduction fell flat by comparison. Some veteran pharmaceutical experts even privately noted that the ingredients in Caroline's so-called special-effect drug were less potent than those in Alicia's formula.
However, given Caroline's reputation as a renowned domestic pharmacologist whose academic authority commanded respect, these experts simply exchanged glances and chose to keep their criticisms to themselves.
After Caroline finished her presentation, Iris, fresh from winning Alicia's special-effect drug, was once again the first to bid.
"115 thousand!" Iris called out.
"135 thousand!"
No sooner had Iris announced her bid than someone immediately countered with a higher offer.
"150 thousand dollars!" Iris shot the price up again.
"200 thousand!"
"250 thousand dollars!"
"350 thousand dollars!"
Watching the crowd below frantically outbidding each other, Caroline felt all her earlier gloom dissipate. Her heart swelled with pride and satisfaction.
Ultimately, Iris once again secured the drug with a staggering bid of 650 thousand dollars.
Caroline was riding high on triumph. She had expected this launch to be a hit, and Alicia's earlier price had already made her burn with envy. But what she hadn't anticipated was that her own new drug would fetch a price ten times higher than she had originally estimated.
After the handover, Iris, having secured both special-effect drugs with her highest bids, sprang to her feet, ready to leave the venue.
Just as she stood up, ready to turn and leave, the handsome man beside her—her brother—pulled her back down into her seat.
"Wait," he commanded.
Iris scowled and sat back down, clearly displeased.
