Chapter 185

Taylor was at a loss for words. He didn’t know how to respond. The Holmes family was in a completely different business, and here they were, a group of pharmaceutical experts trying to collaborate. The two industries couldn’t be further apart.

But, of course, he couldn’t say that out loud. Instead, he cast a helpless glance toward Timeus for help.

Taylor thought, ‘Stop staring. Your partnership, your problem.’

Timeus, clearly seeing the frustration in Taylor’s eyes, cleared his throat and interrupted the never–ending chatter of their foreign guests. As soon as he spoke, all eyes turned to him.

Seizing the opportunity, Taylor quickly worked out of the crowd, ushering Alex along as they made their way toward the exit. The foreigners were too enthusiastic, and he couldn’t take it.

Taylor was relieved, but Timeus wasn’t so lucky. He looked like he was about to explode from the effort of keeping his cool.

Timeus began explaining the scope of the Holmes family’s business, making it clear that they could not work with a group that specialized in pharmaceuticals.

He even gave them a brief rundown of the Holmes family’s standing within the country, hoping to provide these foreigners a more precise understanding.

They could live without tasting the small oranges, but this outrageous mix of industries was out of the question. It was just absurd.

To his surprise, the foreigners didn’t back down despite all his efforts. Instead, they seemed even more eager to push forward.

One of them, particularly well–versed in Yuresland culture, even turned the tables on him and began to lecture. “As long as you don’t give up, anything is possible! That’s what they say in Yuresland, right?”

Timeus was left speechless. He thought, ‘Is that how that phrase is meant to be used?‘

The worst part was that the foreigners became even more enthusiastic after hearing those words.. They saw the potential benefits of such a partnership, especially considering the Holmes family’s prominence.

Timeus didn’t know what to say anymore. He thought, ‘Foreigners are hopeless optimists. You think the Holmes family will want to work with you?‘

“They’re doing perfectly well in their own business. Why would they step into a field they know nothing about?‘

But Timeus didn’t say anything out loud. Perhaps a minor failure would teach them a lesson.

Once the higher–ups finished their discussions, the foreigners turned to Timeus for the Holmes family’s contact details.

It was a small favor Timeus could help with, so he gave them contact information for Horizon Tower. He had attended an auction there once and still had a business card from the event, which he handed to the foreigners.

Once the foreigners verified their identities, they would likely move up the chain, though Timeus wasn’t sure if the message would ever reach Tinley’s ears.
