Regan let out a cold laugh in his heart, though on the surface he sighed, “Miss Anastasia, are you upset because I supported Ms. Lauren Brennan? But even if I had to choose again, I’d make the same decision!”
Before Anastasia could retort, he pressed on.
“It’s true that the chairwoman said she wanted to leave the company to you, Miss Anastasia, before she passed. But she also said Unison Pharma is the work of her life—it must not be ruined!”
“If you had the talent, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to hand the company over to you! But let’s talk about reality: you couldn’t even pass elementary school exams, and you struggled with your studies your whole life!”
“How can someone like that inherit the position of chairwoman, and lead Unison Pharma into the future?”
He shook his head in disappointment. “There’s a reason I considered Ms. Lauren Brennan. She may be an adopted daughter, but she’s still the chairwoman’s child.”
“And more importantly, she’s nothing like you. Lauren has always been exceptional, even called a genius. If she were to lead Unison Pharma, everyone here would accept her with open arms!”
Regan’s words were full of righteous indignation and feigned heartbreak, stirring the crowd. Many employees in the audience looked uncertain, hesitating.
So that’s how it really is…
Maybe it did make sense to let Lauren Brennan inherit the company.
Anastasia, however, let out a cold laugh and shot back, “Mr. Frost, have you managed this company for so long that you’ve started thinking it actually belongs to you?”
Her words snapped everyone out of their stupor.
Struggling to keep his composure, he dropped the act and sneered, “I said you’re not fit, so you’re not fit! The chairwoman trusted me to look out for Unison Pharma, and I refuse to hand it over to someone useless!”
A chill flashed in Anastasia’s eyes. She was about to retort when, suddenly, a furious voice cut through the air.
“Regan! Who gave you the nerve to speak to Miss Anastasia like that?!”
Anastasia turned toward the voice and saw several men and women in suits, all around Regan’s age, striding toward them, faces thunderous with anger.
She immediately recognized them—they were the department heads of Unison Pharma.
