Quintin’s expression changed, and a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
“Mr. Phoenix, how is your research and development going?” Although his physical condition had improved, he still suffered from serious illnesses like heart disease and blood disorders
If he wasn’t careful and suffered a heart attack, it could be fatal.
This treatment offered him hope, and he wished for a cure and a long life.
Developing a new medical device was extremely challenging, requiring not only time and money but also a low probability of success.
Riverview Hospital’s resources were limited, and with many ongoing research and development projects, he wondered how advanced their smart pacemaker project was and when it would be available.
His heart sank and he quickly lost his confidence. His expression also darkened.
Jessie was equally worried and looked at him nervously.
Lorrand could see their concerns clearly. Not just them, but no one would believe their hospital could develop it in a short time. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
If it weren’t for Lea, they wouldn’t have had any confidence.
“Mr. Phoenix, could you arrange a meeting with Miss Berry? Moore Group is also a technology company. We understand that your research and expansion require substantial funding. We can provide financial support and the amount will definitely be satisfactory,” said Quintin.
Although unsure about the success and timeline of the smart pacemaker, Riverview Hospital had indeed performed miracles in drug and equipment development.
Investing in them would likely be very profitable.
Moreover, once they invested in it, they could participate in their research and development decisions. They could spend their energy and resources on the development of the pacemaker and develop it in time for use.
Quintin looked humble on the surface, pleading and offering the hospital a chance, but his heart was racing with excitement, and he tried to control his emotions to avoid a heart attack.
Jessie’s eyes lit up at the investment opportunity. The Moore family would definitely support it and could mobilize significant funds.
If not, there were even wealthier families who could buy the hospital with their resources.
This investment could help attract other rich families and enhance the Moore family’s status in Iverton, as well as elevate her standing among the wealthy women.
She eagerly lobbied for her husband. “Mr. Phoenix, I know Lea and Shannon are like sisters. We have taken good care of her, and we are very grateful. We are eager to help the hospital with funding.”
She added, “Our family has deep roots in Iverton, with connections in the military and political circles. No matter what Lea needs, we can find a way to assist.”
Now, she referred to Lea with her first name.
“Please convey to her that we are available today. She is at the hospital, right?” she said.
Her voice trembled with excitement. She couldn’t wait to meet Lea and successfully invest in the hospital. It would be best if she could get a large share of the shares and have the right to make decisions in the hospital.
Quintin and Jessie looked at Lorrand expectantly.
They knew that Lea highly valued and respected the hospital’s executives, as evidenced by Lorrand’s role as the hospital director.
If he conveyed their message, she would be more inclined to listen.
Moreover, he was very concerned about Shannon.
With these connections, they believed the investment would succeed.
Lorrand’s eyes narrowed, and a sharp light flickered in his eyes.
He understood why Shannon was so opposed to them.

Lea had invested significant effort and resources to get Quintin treated to help Shannon.
These two were indeed insatiable. With just Shannon, they would exploit her to the fullest if she fell into their hands.
His expression grew serious and his tone firm. “Mr. and Mrs. Moore, I’m sorry, but our hospital does not accept investments. This rule was set by Miss Berry when the hospital was established.”
The couple’s expressions changed as they looked at him in disbelief.
“You also know that the eight new medicines developed by our hospital recently have already been sold worldwide, with initial revenues in the hundreds of million dollars, and we now earn millions daily. We also have several newly developed medical devices that have been tested successfully and are currently undergoing the marketing process, promising significant profits for our hospital. So we’re not short of money.”
Quintin and Jessie were shocked.
Quintin calculated internally and said, “Mr. Phoenix, Riverview Hospital seems to be in a good position, but it has been less than a year since its establishment. Its foundation is still too shallow. The hospital’s reputation and success are due to a few scandalous incidents.”
He continued, “Moreover, there are many excellent hospitals in Iverton. Riverview Hospital isn’t even in the top ten. Globally, there are even more, with countless medical research institutes and rapidly advancing medical technology. If Riverview Hospital does not fully expand, it will soon be surpassed and eliminated, with a high risk of bankruptcy if it falls behind. Comprehensive hospital construction cannot be achieved merely with money.”
Connections and influence in Iverton were not something that could be bought.
As a businessman, Quintin was very scheming and good at negotiating.
Lorrand’s expression darkened further. ‘What a threat! Did they think they could use their wealth to pressure the hospital? Lea didn’t even involve Alfred for help, so what was the Moore family?‘
Lorrand answered, “When we were in Vaporleon City, the world’s largest investment firm approached us with an offer starting at 2 billion dollars, but Miss Berry declined it. As for other
construction aspects, Miss Berry has her own arrangements. Speaking of connections, everyone saw what happened to the Oliver family when they offended Miss Berry.”
Their expressions instantly froze, and their focus was shattered.
The daily drug revenue of Riverview Hospital was equivalent to the Moore family’s annual net profit, not to mention the world’s largest investment firm’s money.
They wanted to use money to pressure the hospital, but compared to them, they were poor.
In terms of power and connections, they were no match for the Oliver family.
Lea didn’t even consider the Oliver family, let alone the Moore family.
Only then did they realize how unattainable Riverview Hospital, Lea, and Shannon were.
“Our hospital’s shares are not for sale either. Miss Berry has allocated a certain amount of shares to every initial employee,” said Lorrand. “Shannon holds 0.03%.”
The couple’s eyes lit up.
Riverview Hospital’s registered capital was only in the hundreds of millions, and its assets, excluding new drug patents and equipment for research and development, amounted to over 2 billion.
After calculating all, it had reached 6 billion.
0.3% would amount to nearly 20 million.
