Chapter 306
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
However, Zeb nused to himself for a moment before striding up to Vicky At the same time, Cindy stayed behind him it only took Vicky one slap to tame her.
As Zeb reached Vicky, he held out a hand. âAllow me to formally introduce myself, Ms. Turnbull. Iâm Zeb Larkin, and my father owns Zeb Trust.â
Vicky glanced at him. âWhat do you want?â
Zeb smiled and brushed his fingers through his bangs elegantly. âSo I was just thinking we could discuss the distributorâs rights for the Rejuvenation Pillâ¦â
âThat can wait. The bid starts soon.â Vicky remained impassive.
âOh, you really are the Iron Lady of Rivertonâ Zeb continued flattering her, something which he happened to be good at. âYour work is precise and elegant, and Iâm thoroughly impressed. I was wondering if youâd mind making an exception for me?â
vicky laughed coolly âFor you And why should lo that?â
âWell, Iâve always been a Lan,â Zeb said. âI want to be a distributor for you, and not to make money. Iâve heard about your accomplishments, but I never had the chance to share your burdens⦠Now that I finally have a shot, I would even concede two tiers of profits to you. All I ask in return is that we be friends forever.â
He was absolutely confident that once he got in Vickyâs good graces, his good looks and sweet nothings would soon allow him to replace Frank.
He just did not expect Vicky to laugh at his face.
âWhat can you do aside from flattery?â she asked when she was done laughing. âAlso, nothing about you could ever qualify you to be a Rejuvenation Pill distributor,â
Zeb was as shocked as he was stunned by Vickyâs sharp words.
Frowning, he growled, âEven if you say that, I am the son of an important family, and we have influence here in Riverton.â
âThe Larkins? Really? A thirdârate family talking to me about influence?â
Vicky stood, her hands clasped behind her back as she leveled Zeb a look of pure contempt. âYou littleâ¦â Zeb was seething so terribly his jugular vein bulged.
This bitch was really belittling him!
Vicky snorted. âI still have other matters to attend to, so Iâm leaving. If your family really. wants to achieve anything, stick to hard work and proper attitudes. Quit your little schemes and twisted plots already.â
As she strode away, Zeb finally loosened his knucklesâno matter how furious he was, he would never dare cause trouble around the heiress of the Turnbulls, But without Vickyâs presence, Cindy was once again pompous. âIâm surprised youâve got some moves, Frank. Youâre now the majority shareholder of Grande Pharma, huh?â
Frank shot her a look and decided he had even less reason to hang around when she was mingling with the likes of Zeb.
Before he could leave, however, Cindy moved to stand in his way, leaving him frowning What else do you want?â
Cindy reared her chin with an air of superiority. âHand over the Rejuvenation Pill recipeâ
As the majority shareholder of Grande Pharma, he definitely had the recipe!
Cindy certainly could not care less about partnerships at this pointâthey could just get the recipe and make the Rejuvenation Pill themselves.
And with that, they would be swimming in money!
Frank laughed despite himself. âAnd why should I do that?â
Cindy glared at him as she snapped w righteous indignation, âYouâve been freeloading off my cousin for three years. How much of her money did she have to spend on you? All your success comes from herâyou must repay her and hand over the recipe. Do that, a , and youâre even!â
Zeb nodded beside her. âCindyâs right. Hand over the recipe right now, Frank!â
