Hearing this, Megan immediately touched her face and looked at Jeanne anxiously. "What's wrong with my face? I just felt a rush of warmth on it—does that mean something went wrong?"
Panicked, she began searching frantically for a mirror.
Jeanne, covering her mouth in astonishment, said, "This is incredible! Megan, your injuries are gone! And not only that—your skin looks even more radiant than before. It's like your complexion has returned to that of your teenage years!"
Hearing this, Megan became even more frantic in her search for a mirror. When she finally found one and saw her reflection, she broke out into a wide grin.
"The Spirit of Life Serum is truly incredible! Haha. Nolan, oh Nolan, you arrogant fool! You think a little bit of power gives you the right to boss me around and humiliate me at will? Just wait—soon enough, I'll have you kneeling before me, begging for mercy."
At this point, Megan suddenly stomped her foot in frustration. "Damn it! I shouldn't have been so quick to take the Spirit of Life Serum. I should've gone to Nolan and taken it right in front of him, so he'd know this is the kind of power I possess.
"And the Spirit of Life Serum? It may be priceless to others, but soon enough, I'll be able to drink it like water. Once Owen secures control of Myth Group, I can have all the Spirit of Life Serum I want!"
The thought of such a scene made Megan burst into uncontrollable, triumphant laughter.
Meanwhile, Jeanne's eyes lit up as she looked at Megan. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and, with a fawning expression, said, "Megan, you're absolutely incredible! Nolan is nothing. He's just a worthless nobody.
"Once Owen takes over Myth Group, and you end up being with him, your future achievements will be limitless! Being able to call you my friend is my greatest blessing. Meeting you is the luckiest thing to ever occur in my life.
"Megan, you're right, I am a dog. And from now on, I'll only have you as my master. I swear I'll never betray you. Megan, please don't abandon me. I'll follow you with unwavering loyalty."
At that moment, Jeanne recalled Megan's words.
Jeanne immediately nodded emphatically. "Don't worry, Megan. I swear, I'll never do that."
Megan finally nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, do your job well, and in the future, it's not impossible for you to have a chance to use the Spirit of Life Serum too."
Jeanne had been waiting for those words. She immediately showered Megan with flattery, her gratitude overflowing.
Megan smiled and said, "Now that I've taken the Spirit of Life Serum, how should I go about provoking Nolan and making him regret how he treated me yesterday?"
Hearing this, Jeanne quickly said, "Even though you've used up the Spirit of Life Serum, you still have the bottle here. More importantly, Nolan saw how you looked yesterday, but today, everything's completely healed. What else other than the Spirit of Life Serum could produce such a miraculous result?
"So, Megan, all you have to do is arrange a meeting with Nolan. Then, just casually humiliate him. He'll definitely be stunned!"
