Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 386

Back in the Chimes' study, Camille was reading a medical book when there was a knock on the door.

Florence entered and asked, "Ms. Camille, when will our special medication be officially released?"

Camille looked up and was startled by Florence's appearance. She had high cheekbones and was already thin, but after not seeing her for half a month, she had become haggard with dark circles under her eyes. Her hair was noticeably thinner, making her look quite frightening.

"The medicine has been sent to the Food and Drug Administration Department for approval. Once approved, it will be marketed and sold to the public," Camille said, smiling.

Ever since Wilson announced the imminent release of the special medication, Chime Pharmaceutical's stock had skyrocketed.

Countless people went to the hospital and pharmaceutical company daily seeking the medication. Even Florence, who was on vacation, couldn't resist it. This showed the high expectations the special medication had.

"Ms. Camille, do you still have any samples of the special medication? Could you give me some?" Florence pleaded.

She had been feeling a little off lately. If she didn't take the special medication given by Camille for a day, she would feel extremely uncomfortable and couldn't even work properly. She had taken half a month off to rest, but it didn't alleviate her condition at all. She was constantly craving Camille's medication.

Seeing the plea in Florence's eyes, Camille opened a drawer and took out a bottle.

Then, she tossed the bottle to Florence, who caught it with excitement and exclaimed, "Thank you, Ms. Camille! Thank you!"

She immediately opened the bottle. Her hands trembled violently, perhaps from the excitement, causing the pills to scatter all over the floor. She quickly crouched to pick one up. She looked like a beggar who had finally gotten a meal after days of hunger.

Camille frowned at that and said, "You may go."

"Yes, yes," Florence said, sweeping up the remaining pills with both hands before hurrying out.

She almost collided with Julia, who was entering.

Julia was startled by Florence's appearance as well.

After walking into the study, she asked, "Camille, what happened to Florence? Is she on drugs?"

Hearing this, Camille frowned even more. Her thoughts seemed to have wandered off, and her gaze became unfocused.

"Camille?" Julia called again when she didn't respond.

Camille snapped out of her reverie and asked, "What is it?"

Julia thought Camille had been acting strange lately. She often zoned out for no reason or smiled eerily to herself.

Then, Julia placed an invitation card on Camille's desk.

"Camille, this is an invitation from Dr. Bloom. The Alternative Medicine Association is organizing a seminar on Lucifuge's Manual at the end of this month. It will be held at

лу

Jedburgh, and you're invited to be the keynote speaker.

"I accepted the invitation on your behalf and have added it to your schedule."

"Who told you to accept it?"

Camille's sudden high-pitched voice startled Julia.

Then, Julia explained, "TheNôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Alternative Medicine Association is

highly respected within the medical

community in the country. The. Chimes has always been involved in modern medicine and has little contact with alternative medicine.

"Since the special medication is about to be launched, I figured it's a good opportunity to meet with some alternative medicine practitioners and promote the special medication to their community."

"Decline it for me. I have personal matters to attend to that day," Camille said.

Camille had only grasped the basics of Lucifuge's Manual. Asking her to be a keynote speaker in front of numerous alternative medicine experts would surely expose her lack of knowledge.

"But I heard they will invite Dr. Youngworth if you don't go. They said she's familiar with Lucifuge's Manual as well."

Julia continued persuading.

"Youngworth Miracle Clinic has taken away many of our VIP patients since its opening. If this continues, it will overshadow the Chimes' reputation in Jedburgh."

"My family has a century-long reputation as a prestigious medical family. How could a newly opened clinic be compared to us? This is just temporary." Camille's retort rendered Julia speechless. She realized that she couldn't understand Camille anymore.

She wondered why Camille would pass up such a good opportunity and hand it over to a competitor for no reason.
