As Ms. Crane and Ms. Kingsley lay still on the sofa with the soaked masks on their faces, Rosemary approached Leo, her curiosity getting the best of her, and asked, “Leo, can these masks, soaked in medicinal liquid, really cure their facial allergies?”
“Of course, you can trust that, in five minutes, their facial allergies will disappear. Not only that, their facial skin will become even smoother and more radiant. When they see their faces again, they won’t trouble you anymore.”
Hearing that this solution could make their skin smoother and more radiant, Rosemary, being a woman herself, understood the implications and said with surprise, “So, this medicinal liquid-does it rival the best cosmetics on the market? Is this a beauty formula in traditional Chinese medicine?”
Leo shook his head, “Not at all. This is my exclusive formula. Moreover, my formula surpasses any cosmetics on the market. It’s made entirely of natural Chinese herbs, without any allergens. It not only nurtures the skin but also improves blood circulation.”
The strength of traditional Chinese medicine lies in using all-natural ingredients that are far less harmful to the body than synthetic Western medicine, as long as they are used rationally and correctly.
Upon hearing this, Rosemary couldn’t help but get excited. She asked, “So, you mean to say that this medicinal liquid-soaked mask doesn’t have to be just for allergy relief? Normal people can use it too, right?”
Leo nodded and replied, “That’s correct.”
“How much whitening effect does it have?”
“You’ll see for yourself in a moment.”
Leo wasn’t surprised by Rosemary’s reaction. First, she was a woman, and second, her company primarily dealt with cosmetics. She had a fanatical passion for anything related to skin whitening.
Rosemary could already sense the enormous business potential in Leo’s miraculous solution. If it indeed worked, they could develop it into a skincare product, launch it in the market… Rosemary could already imagine how many women would go crazy for it. As a result, an influx of money would follow.
This miraculous medicinal liquid was Leo’s exclusive formula. Once it was patented and skillfully marketed, it could potentially compete with international skincare giants.
Rosemary’s mind raced with possibilities.
Five minutes later, Leo instructed Ms. Crane and Ms. Kingsley to remove the masks from their faces and then clean their faces in the inner room.
After a brief period, Ms. Crane and Ms. Kingsley’s voices rang out from the bathroom. “Ah, my face!”
Hearing the cries of alarm, their companions outside feared that something had gone wrong. “Ms. Crane, Ms. Kingsley, what happened?”
Ms. Crane and Ms. Kingsley walked out of the bathroom together.
When their companions and Rosemary saw their faces, their jaws dropped in astonishment.
Ms. Crane and Ms. Kingsley’s facial skin was now smooth, supple, and elastic, akin to baby skin. Even the crow’s feet at the corners of their eyes had almost disappeared!
It was no exaggeration to say that in just these short five minutes, Ms. Crane and Ms. Kingsley looked like they had shed over a decade in age!
For women who cherished their looks, this transformation was nothing short of a magical spectacle.
Ms. Crane and Ms. Kingsley’s companions couldn’t help but let out screams and hurried over to examine and touch their faces closely.
“This is amazing! Applying a face mask not only cured their allergies but also made their skin look this good!”
“Unbelievable! Is this young doctor able to work wonders?”
“I dream of having such beautiful skin. This is way better than the effects of a beauty treatment!”
Ms. Crane and Ms. Kingsley were overwhelmed with gratitude, and Leo reminded them, “Don’t get too excited. The current results are the best right after the treatment. After twenty-four hours, the effect will drop to about sixty to seventy percent. If you want to maintain it long-term, avoid spicy and irritating foods.”
Even at sixty to seventy percent of the effect, it was still a dream come true for these women.
“Dr. Bloomer, can you sell me a portion of that medicinal liquid?” The woman who had previously taunted Leo looked at him with anticipation and pleaded.
“Dr. Bloomer, count me in. Money is not an issue!”
“And me, I want ten portions!”
The five women surrounded Leo, and it seemed as if they were ready to devour this piece of fresh meat.
Leo promptly declined, saying, “I’m sorry, but I won’t sell this medicinal liquid to the public. It’s only for specific patients.”
But the women were relentless and resorted to pleading and tempting him.
“Dr. Bloomer, please, just one portion for each of us.”
“Handsome doctor, anything you want, I’ll do it if you sell this to me, okay?”
“Yeah, someone as handsome and skilled as you shouldn’t be so stingy…”
The five women encircled Leo, using their charms and enticements, rubbing against him from time to time, which gave Leo goosebumps all over.
Leo realized that if he didn’t agree, they would likely keep pestering him.
“Fine, I’ll give each of you one bag. No more, and this isn’t going to be a regular thing.” Leo gave in reluctantly while avoiding their advances and said loudly.
The five women finally stopped their siege on Leo, displaying contented smiles on their faces.
After receiving the medicinal liquid, the women also had a change of heart regarding Rosemary’s attitude. It was because of Rosemary that they had access to this miraculous solution.
Before leaving, the five women even asked Leo for his contact information and gave him their business cards.
“Handsome doctor, here’s my business card. Remember to contact me if you need anything in the future.”
“Leo, I’ll be back to your clinic in a few days. I’ll bring you some delicious food!”
“Here’s my card too, Leo. If you ever want to quit your clinic, come find me. I’ll take care of you. Muah!”
Leo was drenched in sweat from the bombardment.
Once the five wealthy ladies left, Rosemary shared the ideas she had been mulling over with Leo.
To Rosemary’s surprise, Leo seemed not very interested.
“If you want to develop this medicinal liquid into a skincare product, I’m giving you the formula. No need for a partnership,” Leo said, bringing out pen and paper, writing down the formula, and handing it to Rosemary.
Rosemary stared at the formula handed to her, and she was stupefied. She hadn’t expected this. In her view, it wasn’t just a simple formula; it was a patent! A patent worth tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions.
Yet Leo had given it to her so casually, without even batting an eye.
Seeing Rosemary in a daze, Leo chuckled, “What’s wrong? Take it. When you make some money, just remember to treat me to a big meal.”
Rosemary bit her lip and accepted the prescription, saying, “I’ll consider it as you investing, and you’ll be the major shareholder when the time comes.”
“Take your time with it. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always come to me,” Leo replied casually.
Leo didn’t take Rosemary’s proposal seriously because he knew he had the means to handle such a venture on his own. The development part could go to Herbal Magic Cosmetics Company, and the sales part could be handled by Sophia’s company. There was no need for him to partner with Rosemary on this matter.
Of course, Rosemary was unaware of these details. She believed that Leo, like some famous tycoons, had no interest in money.
With the prescription in her hand, Rosemary, who was usually very efficient, had no plans to stay any longer at the clinic. She left to implement her grand plans.
Huntstone City, the Henley family estate.
The first thing the old Mrs. Henley did after being discharged from the hospital was to convene a family meeting.
As usual, fifteen minutes before the meeting began, most of the Henley family staff had already gathered in the meeting room.
“Does anyone know what the agenda for this family meeting is?”
“It’s probably about the Grandma’s car accident. I heard that this sudden accident wasn’t an accident at all; it was intentional.”
“Are you saying someone tried to murder Grandma!? My goodness, who would have the audacity to do something like that?”
“We don’t know for sure yet, but I heard that Sophia’s company has recently run into some trouble. It seems someone is maliciously trying to acquire their shares. I wonder if Grandma’s car accident is related to what’s happening with Sophia’s company.”
As usual, in the absence of the old Mrs. Henley, the Henley family members began to discuss and speculate about various topics.
Bruno and Fanny sat in their respective seats, overhearing the discussions. They exchanged a smile.
“Bruno, do you think this time we can successfully make trouble for Sophia and Leo? After all, our previous attempts against them always failed,” Fanny said, showing signs of doubt.
Particularly with this attempt to frame Leo and Sophia for the car accident involving the old Mrs. Henley, Fanny was not as confident. It gave her both sense of challenge and anxiety.
Bruno had already discussed this matter with her. Since the car accident tied into the acquisition of Sophia’s company shares, they intended to seize the opportunity to put the blame on Leo and Sophia.
Bruno smiled mysteriously, “The news has already spread within the family. Whether it will succeed or not depends on Grandma’s decision.”
