Chapter 1396: Sworn Enemy
“Isabela, don’t overestimate yourself. I’m not interested in your offer,” Dustin replied coldly.
From the moment Isabela used him, and from the moment Kevin and Sophia sought revenge, the two sides had become sworn enemies.
“Fine! Since you’re so stubborn, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!” Isabela’s expression darkened.
“Consider those words returned to you. If your Stratford and Torby families harbor ill intentions, you’ll face the consequences!” Dustin retorted.
“Don’t overestimate yourself!” Isabela sneered, then turned and walked away.
Just before getting into her car, she seemed to remember something, stopped abruptly, and turned back with a cold smile. “Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. Starting today, the Torby and Stratford families will be cooperating to jointly develop and produce Jade Dew Ointment. I believe it won’t be long before Jade Dew Ointment becomes famous in Stonia and the whole world, bringing us a continuous stream of wealth. Of course, all of this is thanks to you. If it weren’t for you providing us with the formula for Jade Dew Ointment, we wouldn’t have had such a rare opportunity. What do you think? Isn’t it surprising and unexpected? The Torby and Stratford families are promoting Jade Dew Ointment for you. Shouldn’t you be thanking us?”
As she spoke, Isabela wore a satisfied smile on her face. Compared to the value of Jade Dew Ointment, Healwell Clinic was completely insignificant. For the Torby family, obtaining the formula from Dustin was undoubtedly their wisest decision.
“Despicable!” Dr. Elijah gritted his teeth in anger.
He had personally witnessed the miraculous effects of Jade Dew Ointment and was well aware of its immense value. Dustin could have become immensely wealthy thanks to the ointment, but the Torby family had seized the formula. This was an utterly shameless act.
“Isabela, do you really think you’ve won?” Dustin suddenly said.
“Why wouldn’t we?” Isabela smiled and asked in response.
“Don’t celebrate too early. Although you have the formula for Jade Dew Ointment, mine is the authentic one,” Dustin said calmly.
“What difference does that make? Even if you have the formula, what can you do? Do you think your medicine can sell? Don’t be naive!”
Isabela wore a contemptuous expression on her face. “The Southern District is our territory, and challenging us here is the most foolish decision. If you have any sense left, you should apologize and submit while there’s still a glimmer of hope.”
In this world, the act of copying and even eradicating the original was not uncommon. A mere doctor, how could he possibly contend with two major family?
“Since you’re so confident, let’s see how it plays out,” Dustin replied, his expression unchanged.
“Hmph! I will make you regret this!” Isabela shot him an evil glare and then got into her car, leaving.
How could a poor nobody dare to defy her? He truly didn’t know his place!
“You’re unrighteous, don’t blame me for being unjust,” Dustin muttered, his face growing colder.
When he had traded the formula with the Torby family, he had kept something in reserve just in case. Originally, he had planned to provide the complete formula once the Torby family had obtained the other two rare herbs. However, he hadn’t expected the Torby family to go back on their word and repay kindness with enmity.
Such treacherous behavior would undoubtedly come with a heavy price!
