Chapter 1072 A Business Deal


    Abel’s mockingment made Maxine blush. She was used to being pampered, and other than Luke,


    no other man had ever treated her like that before.


    That made her even angrier.


    "Looks like you''ve been seduced by Bianca too," Maxine said coldly.


    "Alright, that''s enough. Aren''t we on the same side? We shouldn''t be quibbling." Hera stepped up to be


    the mediator when she saw that the atmosphere was bing tense. It would be bad if Maxine made


    Abel angry before the deed was done.


    Maxine grunted coldly, sat on the couch, and turned her head away.


    Abel lit up a cigar and dragged from it. "You don''t have to worry about Bianca. Now that she''s with me,


    she''ll be begging for me to kill her." "That better be the case." Maxine paused for a while and added, ’


    Not only that, but I want her to give up entirely on Luke." "I think so too." Abelughed brazenly as he


    leaned on the couch. The main objective of his visit was to ask Maxine for a favor.


    "Help me get some photos," he said.


    "What photos?" Maxine finally turned to look at him.


    Abel grinned. "Photos of Luke with other women."


    He wanted Bianca''s love for Luke to die entirely, then be reborn from the ashes. If she had nothing but


    hatred for Luke, she would lose all hope of reuniting with him. Desperate women like that would be


    easily manipted.


    Maxine chuckled coldly. "You might as well find someone to edit those photos for you. Why did you


    have toe all the way here?" "That won''t be convincing. This is thetest drug. If Luke takes it, he''ll


    fall unconscious and be under your control." Abel took out a small vial from his pocket.


    Maxine''s eyes sparkled when she saw that.


    Abel knew what she was thinking, so he reminded her, "He''ll be unconscious, but he won''t do anything


    else.”


    Maxine was not embarrassed that Abel guessed her thoughts. She asked," Do you have any other


    drugs?" "Yes, but the side effects are serious. If you don''t give Luke the correct dose, he might be


    impotent for the rest of his life." Abel took out a blue vial and shed a sinister grin. Do you want this? If


    Luke is impotent, he won''t have any other women." "No." Maxine refused instantly and rolled her eyes


    at him. She wanted to be physically intimate with Luke, but she would not want to permanently harm


    him.


    Abel did not try to convince her. He stashed away the vial and took out a name card. "Once you get the


    photos, you can send them to my email." "Sure." Maxine narrowed her gaze as she looked at the white


    vial. With the drug, she could definitely take some nice photos.


    She could not help but be happy when she realized that she was involved in Bianca''s torment.


    After that, Abel talked about the next topic. "Ms. Dous, I have some business for you. I wonder if


    you''d be interested." "What business?" Maxine replied carelessly, her attention fully focused on the vial.


    "These two drugs," Abel said while taking out the blue vial once more." These are the newest products


    from ourb. They''ll bring huge profits if you manage to market them?"


    Abel needed funds to redevelop the Ind of Despair, so he asked Shanks to invent the drugs.


    "Didn''t you say that it''ll cause permanent damage?" Maxine frowned. She had no intention of investing


    in it.


    "As risky as it might be, there''ll always be a market for it. You don''t have to worry about that," Abel said.


    Lust was a major driver of human behavior.


    He knew that people would buy the drug to satisfy their personal desires.


    "I can''t market this in the country. What kind of coboration are you looking for?" Maxine became


    serious. She finally understood Abel''s true purpose in meeting her.


    "Myb has many other drugs that can cure various diseases, and they''re much more effective than


    what you can find in the market now. As long as I receive funding, I can apply for patents, and there''ll


    be plenty of chances for us to coborate," Abel said. There was money to be made in both channels.


    He could not market certain drugs openly, so he had to look for Maxine.


    She was the perfect partner because both of them had dirt on each other.


    Maxine sank into deep thought. Investing in a pharmaceutical startup required a lot of money, and she


    could not make that decision.

    "Can you give me a few days to think about it?" She said.


    "I can only give you one day. If you don''t give me an answer, I''ll just have to look for another partner."


    Abel did not give her too much time to consider." I''m very confident in my researcher, Ms. Dous. I


    can say that any drug on the market now isn''t as effective as what he''s making." "Alright." Maxine saw


    that he was in a hurry to look for a partner. "Is there anything else?" "That''s all." Abel could tell that she


    was hinting at him to leave. He hugged Hera and stood up. "You can contact me with your decision


    before this time tomorrow." "Mm." Maxine nned to discuss it with her parents. To Capital Corp, the


    amount that Abel asked for was not a lot. However, it was a lot of money for her.


    Abel brought Hera to the door. "Beautifuldy, how about we rent a room here?" "Sounds good. I''ll be


    able to apany you for the next few days." Hera was very excited. With him around, she would be


    able to enjoy the services of the six-star hotel for the next few days.


    "Good. I like it when you are proactive." Abel hugged her waist. Before he left the room, he turned and


    spoke to the woman behind him. "Luke Crawford might like women with pure looks, but he is more fond


    of women who are self-reliant. Think about it, Ms. Dous. Luke''s attitude toward you might change if


    he finds out that you''re not relying on your family''s wealth."


    Maxine looked at the couple contemptuously.


    ''Hera is really daring. Isn’t she afraid that she''ll die in the hands of that man?''


    After they left, Maxine kept the vials and took out her phone. She prepared to call her parents to


    discuss funding Abel''s venture.


    If something bad happened to thepany in the future, they would only be losing money.


    They were not responsible for thepany''s operations, so they would not be implicated.


    If thepany was a sess, she would be swimming in riches. After all, hospitals were the most


    profitable ventures. So many people in the world fell sick every day, and everyone needed medicine to


    survive.


    That made her even more determined to invest in Abel''s venture. She dialed her father''s phone


    number.


    After leaving Maxine''s room, Hera took Abel''s money to book a presidential suite.


    She came back up with the ess cards and a smile on her face. Then, she held Abel''s hand and


    waved the ess cards. "We''ll be staying next door."
