Florence Huxley held on to a young man’s arm and stood in the middle of the apothecary. All around them, the apothecary was in disarray, with cabinets for storing medicinal herbs overturned, herbs scattered all over the floor...
"Florence Huxley, what are you doing?"
Ivy Kensington frowned, questioning her.
Florence Huxley raised her chin, looking at Ivy Kensington with disdain. For more chapters visit nοvelfire.net
"I’m telling you all, I, Florence Huxley, don’t see anything in this apothecary anymore! But since I don’t want it, you shouldn’t even dream of getting it."
After saying that, Florence Huxley affectionately took the man’s hand beside her and coquettishly said, "Darling, let’s leave now."
This man was Keith Taylor, the heir to Taylor Properties, truly a wealthy second generation.
Florence Huxley has latched onto a rich catch!
Just then, Elder Huxley received the news and hurried over. Seeing the scene, he angrily said, "Florence! You intend to destroy the apothecary!"
As soon as Florence Huxley saw him, all the years of resentment burst forth, and she cursed, "You old geezer, I’ve put up with you for so long. Since you chose to adopt me, why did you have to go ahead and have another biological child? What’s the meaning of that? Do you think I’m incapable or something?"
"I’ve managed the apothecary for you all these years, never heard a kind word from you praising me, and then you bring this bitch Ivy Kensington into the apothecary, wanting her to replace me, why?"
The more she spoke, the more hatred brewed in Florence Huxley’s heart. She smugly declared, "I’ve already instructed all medicine suppliers to sever collaborations with Huxley’s Apothecary. I’m curious to see how this crappy apothecary will keep running without me!"
Her words made Elder Huxley’s heart tighten with anger.
Even though Florence Huxley was adopted, he and his wife treated her sincerely. Little did they know she’d grow up to be so distorted...
Elder Huxley shed tears.
Florence Huxley sneered coldly, "What’s with the act? I, Florence Huxley, am officially cutting ties with the Huxley family today! I’m going to marry into the Taylor family, and you lousy bunch can only look up to me!"
Especially when she looked at Ivy Kensington, Florence Huxley’s pride surged.
Ivy Kensington was just a woman spurned by the Weldon family; let’s see how she’ll compete with her in the future!
Florence Huxley proudly held onto Keith Taylor and swaggered out.
Keith Taylor, who’d been indulged since childhood, was used to such scenes. He praised Florence Huxley for doing well, saying she had the capability to enter the Taylor family’s gates.
Passing by Ivy Kensington, Keith Taylor’s eyes glinted.
Such a little beauty, if given the chance...
Looking at the wrecked and battered apothecary, Keith Taylor smiled confidently.
Before long, this little beauty would surely come begging to him!
Florence Huxley saw Keith Taylor’s glance and knew exactly what he was thinking. She gritted her teeth hatefully and glared at Ivy Kensington.
Bitch, always seducing men at every turn!
Ivy Kensington ignored the two of them. She walked over to Elder Huxley’s side, helping him to sit down.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Elder Huxley shouted in anguish, "I’ve truly failed! So many students trained, yet my own child’s turned out ..."
Ivy Kensington felt an aching discomfort.
It’s not Elder Huxley’s fault; when she was young in the Huxley family, both Elder Huxley and Mrs. Huxley genuinely loved and taught Florence Huxley.
It’s simply that Florence Huxley chose the wrong path herself.
"Elder Huxley, all the medicine suppliers in Veridia have ceased business with us; without medicinal supplies, how will our apothecary operate?"
At this moment, a young assistant working in the apothecary stepped forward, very worried.
Ivy Kensington first led Elder Huxley to rest, then rolled up her sleeves and joined everyone in cleaning up the apothecary’s mess, directing, "Organize the list of companies that have collaborated with the apothecary and send it to me."
An hour later, Ivy Kensington was holding the list, deep in thought.
The one with the closest collaboration with the apothecary turned out to be Shaw Enterprises...
