"...If the Chime family had utilized someone like him more often, they wouldn't have ended up where they are today."

Philip looked disdainful while sitting on the couch in the CEO's office at Chime Pharmaceutical. When Marcus turned on the TV, the news happened to be doing a live broadcast of Hera speaking at Silverleaf Hospital. Their initial misery turned worse after listening to Hera's interview. The two had just finished attending the shareholders' meeting.

Various shareholders had sternly criticized Everly for disrupting the alternative medicine market and how she ended up having all the medicinal herbs for nothing. The shareholders also warned Philip to manage his family affairs better. Philip knew that he was in the wrong. Thus, he had no choice but to admit to his mistake, even if he was the head of the Chime family. He promised to be more mindful in the future and not let family matters affect the company's share price. As for Marcus, his decision to not provide an operating room to Hera cost the company an opportunity to boost the share price. Thus, Silverleaf Hospital ended up benefitting from the situation instead.

That made the shareholders very displeased with Marcus. They even requested that he not be allowed to make decisions on his own next time.

The shareholders also suggested that Johnson return to work at Reinland Hospital. They even encouraged the company to work with Hera more often so that they could stabilize the share price.

Marcus suspected that Johnson had intentionally brought up this matter to the shareholders. He began to hold a grudge against Johnson, especially after watching how Hera intentionally praised Johnson to the reporters on TV.

"This Johnson! He usually looks rather weak-willed. Who knew he was so cunning! He even worked with Hera to improve his image!" Marcus glared at the picture of Johnson featured on the news with gritted teeth.

Johnson, who had grown up in one of the side branches of the Chime family, always seemed to make himself scarce at the family. It was to the point where the shareholders would never have noticed his presence.
