Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 982

"Secondly, Smith Co. lacks this type of industry. We have also evaluated that the Heidelberg Family is suitable for Smith Co.. In addition, the Heidelberg Family owes US a favor. Paul Heidelberg won't say no if we asked."

Irvin spoke eloquently and his reasoning made sense.

However, Alexander put down his knife and fork and crossed his arms across his chest. He then stared at Irvin with bright eyes. "Tell us the truth."

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Alexander, the boy shrugged and explained, "Their laboratory is complete. It will best satisfy my requirement for creating drugs."

Elise could tell that he wanted them to buy him a laboratory. "Son, are you trying to make a profit with zero investment?"

"It’ll be mutually beneficial." Irvin then added with a calm expression, "I have developed a new drug that can also be supplied to Daddy's organization. We won't have to worry about the Hellen Family or anyone else by then."

The gullible Elise was persuaded just like that. She turned to Alexander. "Darling, what do you say?"

"You're good at talking, but it is a pity. We're a little too late." Alexander picked up the knife and fork again to slowly cut a sausage. "Paul has already accepted someone else's financing. I don't want to interfere."

"Who? They sure are fast." Elise was surprised.

Paul should still have his hands full with reorganizing the leadership team as it hadn't been long since Gale stepped down. That was why Elise was surprised by how quickly the joint venture was established without making it to the news.

"Our old acquaintance." Alexander deliberately paused and looked up at her meaningfully. He then enunciated carefully, "Owen Morgan."

"Who's that?" Alexia found her chance to join in the conversation.

"The husband your god grandpa picked for Mommy," Alexander muttered, the jealousy evident in his voice.

"I never agreed to it," Elise quickly explained to prove her innocence while rolling her eyes at him. "Nothing even happened and that was so many years ago. How are you still jealous over it?"

She smoothly changed the topic. "The Morgan Family's business has nothing to do with this industry. Why is he suddenly interested in investing in a pharmaceutical company?"

"Is it strange? I think it's normal." Alexander took a spoon and stirred his bowl of soup leisurely.
