CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100: I ONLY WANT YOU

"No wonder you had me set up a new company earlier, you had it planned all along."

Josee Sheffield smiled, "Is this system more advanced than the one at the Hawthorne Group?"

Sabrina Hayes pondered for a moment and said, "Based on the current technology of the Hawthorne Group, they can’t reach this level yet, unless... Brooke Sinclairs really has the capability and can use her overseas knowledge to solve the problems."

Josee Sheffield didn’t seem too convinced upon hearing this.

That woman came back to the country and immediately got busy snatching someone else’s husband, flaunting herself outside all day, trying to create the image of being the Hawthorne Family’s matriarch.

He didn’t believe her capability could surpass Sabrina Hayes!

However, he didn’t say this, instead changing the subject, "Since we have a ready system, our team’s efficiency can greatly improve. Rest assured, I’ll be overseeing this progress and will strive to launch the product as quickly and timely as possible!"

Sabrina Hayes maintained a calm demeanor and said, "There’s no need to rush. We should prioritize stability since it’s new technology. Clinical trials need time for validation, and we must include any early risks in our considerations.

Therefore, I suggest not producing too much initially. Let’s wait until everything’s confirmed before mass production."

Josee Sheffield replied smoothly, "Of course, I know that. Don’t worry, I might not be as adept as you in research and development, but in terms of company operations, I’m definitely more competent than you."

Sabrina Hayes agreed with this.

Josee Sheffield managed The Sheffield Group with ease, so why would he need her reminder on such a minor matter?

With this thought, she didn’t say more and simply pressed a key on the computer, saying, "I’ll leave my efforts in your hands, hoping our new company can soar and achieve great things."

After speaking, she lifted her small white fist to Josee Sheffield.

Josee Sheffield glanced over, his disdain evident.

"In collaborations, people usually shake hands; why is it fist-bumping with you?"

Despite the teasing, the man still reached out and bumped her fist.

He then said, "Of course, the company will soar. I forgot to tell you the good news... the old version of the special drug has been upgraded and the first batch of end products has been successfully produced. It will be announced for the market in a few days, and you’ll need to attend."

"So soon?"

Sabrina Hayes was slightly surprised.

The old version of the special drug Josee spoke of was developed when the two were collaborating years ago.

Upon returning to ’Miracle,’ she provided an upgraded plan.

It hasn’t been that long, and it’s already completed?

Josee Sheffield replied, "Isn’t that obvious? The production line for the old version of the special drug was already very mature. With the new upgraded formula, the speed is naturally fast..."

Mentioning this, he seemed to remember something, "Have you not gone to the production workshop for inspection since you came back? I’ll take you to see it next time, and you’ll know why it’s so fast!

Once your new drug research and development are completed, it will be the same!"

Sabrina Hayes indeed hadn’t been there.

After all, this period has been tumultuous with family matters, coupled with work, leaving no time for many things.

As a partner, she indeed felt a bit negligent and quickly agreed, "Okay, I’ll stop by next time."

With her consent, Josee Sheffield felt good and continued to discuss some business matters with her.

Later on, after finishing their work, they each went home.

...

The news about the ’Miracle’ special drug going to market quickly spread.

As the head of the Hawthorne Group, Jordan Hawthorne, who always had access to information, naturally heard about it immediately.

He frowned.

If he remembered correctly, this brand was the one Sabrina Hayes and Josee Sheffield collaborated on, right?

How long has that woman been gone, and she’s already achieved results?

Jordan was skeptical but couldn’t help feeling unsettled.

A so-called ’psychologist’ and Josee Sheffield seemed to be thriving in every way, using who knows what kind of tactics!

The more he thought about it, the more irritated he got. Just then, Brooke Sinclairs came to find him.

He promptly inquired about the progress in the research and development department, "It’s been so long, and you haven’t even developed the first phase formula. Why is the efficiency so low? Are you sure the people you’ve recruited are industry talents?"

Brooke Sinclairs suddenly being questioned felt somewhat aggrieved, "We are developing a special drug, which is much more difficult than a regular drug. Failure is quite normal..."

Jordan Hawthorne was about to express dissatisfaction when Brooke quickly added, "But the AI equipment system development already has new progress!"

She spoke rapidly, "These days, I’ve led the team and just overcame a long-standing problem. With the system upgrade completed, client orders have increased!

This is also why I came to share this good news with you!"

"Oh?"

Jordan Hawthorne’s frown relaxed, "Is that true?"

With a soft voice, Brooke Sinclairs said, "Would I lie to you? This performance has increased by 20% compared to before!"

Upon saying this, she circled around the desk and approached Jordan, saying, "Since I’ve decided to come back to help you, how could I let you down? The previous failures were because Sabrina didn’t properly hand over her work.

Now with fully new control, I’ve sorted out the data from the R&D department only to find that many technical concepts were severely outdated...

Now that I’ve upgraded the entire system, it’s entirely different."

Finishing her speech, Brooke’s hands were already on Jordan’s shoulders, gently massaging them, "Jordan, you have to trust me; I am the one who can fight alongside you!"

After hearing this, Jordan Hawthorne’s displeasure vanished completely, replaced by satisfaction.

"Not bad, Brooke, you truly haven’t disappointed me!"

He was unaware that this so-called upgrade was merely built on the foundation that Sabrina Hayes initially created.

And it was only one segment of it!

Brooke Sinclairs, noticing the pleasure in his tone, felt a surge of delight in her heart and boldly leaned closer, saying, "Then... since I’ve performed so well, is there any reward for me?"

As she spoke, she deliberately leaned close to his ear, her voice softer, and with each breath brushing against his ear.

Feeling the fragrant aroma and breath behind him, Jordan’s gaze darkened as he asked, "What kind of reward do you want? A bag, jewelry, or something else?"

With a coquettish tone, Brooke Sinclairs said, "I don’t want any of those. You should know, I’ve always ever wanted one thing, and that is... you!"

With the fall of the last word, she had already shifted to sit on his lap.

The intimate lap-sitting posture immediately heightened the sense of intimacy.

Jordan’s breathing became slightly erratic, his hands unconsciously gripping her waist tightly, a force that made Brooke’s heartbeat accelerate with joy.

It seemed she still had a strong attraction for Jordan!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had this reaction!

Next, if they just naturally had a relationship, his mind should return to her, no longer influenced by Sabrina Hayes.

Thinking this, Brooke couldn’t wait to get closer...

But just then, Jordan’s expression suddenly changed, "My leg seems to be acting up."

"Huh?"

Brooke was stunned, her just-flared passion quickly doused.

She felt exasperated.

Why act up now, of all times?

Yet her persona didn’t allow her to ignore it.

Brooke had to suppress her frustration and said with concern, "Let me massage it for you!"

Saying so, she stood up from his lap and began to massage him.

Jordan frowned, his expression turning worse from discomfort.

Especially since even after Brooke massaged for a while, there was no relief. Instead, the pain grew more intense, making his expression even more unsightly.

"Stop, just massaging won’t help. Acupuncture and medication are needed to control it..."

He instinctively ordered, "Get Chase Lynch to call over Sabrina Hayes to treat me!"

Brooke Sinclairs’s face froze, her previous smugness from making him lose control instantly vanished.

She found it hard to believe.

At this moment, his first response was actually to call for Sabrina Hayes???

Even Jordan realized this only after speaking.

If Sabrina Hayes were here, he wouldn’t have to endure this pain for too long...
