Chapter 808 The One Bothering Him
Lucian, however, furrowed his brows tightly upon listening to his best friend’s words. Faced with Lucian’s lack of
response, Jonathan urged anxiously, “Our project is about to get up to speed, and Herbscape Group is an extremely
important piece. If we can’t acquire them, we’ll have no choice but to back out and wait for the next opportunity.”
That was Jonathan’s attempt at questioning Lucian. It was one thing for Queen Group to give up, but Farwell Group
had never backed out of anything before.
Given their status in Horington, Farwell Group had always gotten their way regardless of the situation. Plenty of
companies clamored to collaborate with them.
Unexpectedly, with a brazenness that came out of nowhere, not only did Herbscape Group dare to bargain with
Farwell Group, but they even canceled the contract at the very last stage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf it was any other company, Lucian would have already taught them a painful lesson.
However, Lucian didn’t react at all this time. He seemed to have prepared to accept the loss without any
retribution.
Jonathan was frustrated by that thought. “Lucian, what’s on your mind? Why don’t you put Herbscape Group in
their place? What is it that has been worrying you for so long? I heard—”
Before Jonathan could finish, Lucian interrupted, “To have been chosen as the heir of the Damaris family, Jack is
certainly no fool. If even you can tell that Herbscape Group is the best candidate, why would he give it up over
some short-term profit?”
Jonathan thought there was something not right about Lucian’s words.
What does he mean by “even I can tell”? Does he think that I’m inferior to Jack?
The thought filled Jonathan with rage. “So what if he can tell? When it comes down to it, Queen Group is still the
largest pharmaceutical company in Horington. If we hadn’t gotten involved in this project, Queen Group would have
already secured the contract to supply the medication.”
If Jack really wasn’t a fool, he would have worked with Queen Group instead.
Reading between the lines, Lucian knew that his friend was throwing a tantrum. Despite that, he proceeded to
expose him mercilessly. “It’s precisely because Jack is smart that he has chosen not to work with Queen Group.
Based on Queen Group’s influence, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they wanted a lion’s share of the profits, making any
negotiations with Damaris Group difficult. On the contrary, Herbscape Group would be desperate to work with them
and willing to make significant concessions just to secure the partnership.”
Jonathan gradually calmed down. He sighed in exasperation when he thought about the stupid comment he had
just made.
“It’s true that I had my eye on Herbscape Group for the same reason. Furthermore, they have one major

His words elicited a baffled look from Lucian.
In a steady tone, Jonathan said, “Herbscape Group is not only involved in traditional medicine but is also skilled in
many techniques of modern medicine. Compared to them, Queen Group is focused solely on traditional medicine,
and that must be the reason why Damaris Group has chosen to work with them.”
However, the only mystery left was what Damaris Group had offered Herbscape Group to induce them into
reneging on the contract with Farwell Group.
Despite having done his own research on Herbscape Group, Lucian wasn’t aware of the actual reason Jonathan had
chosen the company.
Therefore, when the importance of acquiring Herbscape Group dawned upon him, Lucian couldn’t help but furrow
his brows. “Now that the collaboration between Herbscape Group and Damaris Group has been settled, we should
take more time to discuss our plans for the acquisition.”
Evidently, a solution was out of reach in the short term.
Furthermore, that issue wasn’t the one that was bothering him the most.
