"I'm telling you, even if you manage to climb into his bed, you'll forever be kneeling at my feet. If I tell you to live, you live. If I tell you to die, you die. Got it?"
It seemed as though Megan had completely lost her mind, which exposed her true nature. At that moment, she chose to humiliate Jeanne in the cruelest way possible.
Jeanne trembled, but she stayed silent. Still, the frustration on her face betrayed her.
Megan continued coldly, "What, did I say something wrong? Let me make it clear, Jeanne—don't be fooled by how powerful Nolan looks right now. I can bring him down whenever I want. Do you know why? It's because Owen likes me!
"I'm sure you're well aware of Owen's background, but what you don't know is that he's about to take control of Myth Group. Once that happens, he'll have the Spirit of Life Serum, and then the entire Southeast will be at his mercy!
"Do you get it now? No matter how strong Nolan is, he's just a dead man walking. He thinks he can humiliate anyone, but the truth is, he'll be dead before long. Mark my words, I'll make him pay for everything he's done to me today!"
Jeanne's eyes went wide with shock. She had already heard so many unbelievable things today, but the madness in Megan's eyes told her that she wasn't lying.
Owen already had a solid foundation, but if he managed to take control of Myth Group and get his hand on the Spirit of Life Serum, his future would be unstoppable.
"Yes, Ms. Turner, Nolan will definitely be on his knees begging for forgiveness for what he's done to you today. Don't worry, I, Jeanne Fisher, will be your loyal employee for life. I'll follow you without question, no matter what," Jeanne said, taking a deep breath before uttering these words that left her almost in despair.
At this moment, the very person Megan couldn't stop thinking about—Owen—was hosting a party at his estate. Though it wasn't officially a celebration, everything about it felt like one.
The event's spotlight was shared by Owen, Tyson—the vice president of Myth Group—and key staff members from the company's R&D and production teams. In short, Myth Group's most critical players were all in attendance—from production to research and even marketing.
In the minds of those gathered, they were prepared to replicate the genuine Spirit of Life Serum at a moment's notice, should the opportunity arise. Together, they were Myth Group. Even if they couldn't seize full control of the company, they had the capacity to rapidly replicate it.
Raising his glass high, Owen let out a hearty laugh. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! From this day forward, you are Myth Group! We are Myth Group! Myth Group belongs to all of us now. Come on, let's toast!"
