"Well, well, well—if it isn't Alex! Tell me, are you seriously hoping to snag a distributor deal with Kingston?"

Clara sneered venomously, her cold eyes darting downward at Alex as if he were nothing more than dirt under her designer shoes.

Alex casually shifted his gaze toward Charles, his voice edged with mockery.

"What's wrong, Charles? Didn't you tell your friend here exactly who I am?"

Clara turned toward Charles, curiosity mingling with disdain in her narrowed eyes.

"Charles, what exactly is this grand position he claims?"

"Alex?" Charles erupted into contemptuous laughter, the cruel amusement echoing harshly through the room.

"Please! He's nothing but a worthless piece of garbage! He wormed his pathetic way into Jasmine's bed, becoming her personal boy toy through deception."

"My little sister was naive enough to hand him the title of Chief Physician at Hilton Pharmacy-nothing more than charity for a parasite."

"I believe he begged Jasmine for the position, just to make himself look important, even though he's nothing. And even that so-called glory isn't his; everyone knows Dr. Joana is the real genius behind the Emerald Elixir."

"A freeloading parasite?" Clara mocked, her lips twisted in disgust.

"Exactly! That's the truth-he has no qualifications for his position," Charles sneered arrogantly, rolling his eyes dismissively.

Alex's eyes flashed dangerously as a faint, defiant smirk formed on his lips.

"You're questioning my qualifications, Charles? That's rich, coming from the disgraceful failure of the Kingston lineage. You dare stroll in here demanding a distributor's license? Do you even have the qualifications for that? Everything you touch crumbles into chaos."

Charles stiffened, his arrogant expression briefly faltering. He quickly recovered, puffing his chest out in a shameless display of superiority.

"Alex, Alex, you pathetic fool. Kingston Pharmaceuticals is our family business-l know every employee inside out. Securing a distributor's license is as effortless as snapping my fingers!"

Alex shook his head slowly, his mocking laughter cutting like a blade.

"Is that right? Somehow, I doubt Jasmine would willingly hand such power over to you. Face it, Charles, even your own family's given up on you. You're the Kingston nobody wants."

"Who the hell do you think you are, Alex?” Clara spat, rage flaring in her icy glare. Alex straightened proudly, a subtle but potent smile curving his lips.
