The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1519

Feeling challenged, the scientists deliberated on their response while Tyshawn interjected.

“Miss Moore, if you lack understanding, refrain from questioning.

Biomedicine falls within their purview, not yours.

Why bother with so many questions, pretending to understand when these are the true professionals? They’ve placed their trust in the Mitchell Group!”

Trust in the Mitchell Group?

Hannah regarded Tyshawn with disdain, considering him the easiest to deceive.

Clearing his throat, a scientist addressed Hannah, “Miss, our drug employs cutting-edge technology and is overseen by the esteemed Professor Saul Campbell; it’s a comprehensive technology-no room for doubt.

”

Their evasion signaled a reluctance to delve into substantive scientific discourse.

Hannah studied the report in her hands, replaceing it seemingly legitimate, albeit devoid of supporting data.

This report resonated with her past experiences, having delved into the same matter while assisting Saul.

However, that drug she recalled wasn’t ideal and was unsuitable for medicinal application, as they posed potential harm to humans at different levels.

Perusing the report, Hannah’s brow furrowed increasingly, it bore a striking resemblance to the experiment she had encountered before.

Impatient, Tyshawn tapped the table.

“Are you done? Have you seen enough?”

Hannah finally set aside the documents, saying, “I’ve seen all I need to see.

”

“Then let’s sign the contract.

” Tyshawn gestured casually.

“Mr.

Pierce, rest assured, this drug will bring us both wealth.

”

Whether it would indeed prove lucrative remained uncertain, Hannah thought sarcastically.

Taking such a semi-finished product to market, only divine intervention could avert disaster.

Not one to be fooled, Maloney, noting Hannah’s skeptical expression, opened the contract, scanned it briefly, then closed it.

Setting aside the pen and the contract, he remarked, “I believe our collaboration warrants further consideration.

”

The scientists’ expressions shifted upon hearing this, while Tyshawn’s demeanor turned grim.

“Mr.

Pierce, are you going back on your word?”

Maloney reclined in his chair, his demeanor unaltered.

“Going back on my word? Initially, I did think the project had potential, but when did I ever explicitly commit to working with you?”

His tone remained level, yet his presence seemed slightly altered.

“Collaboration is a mutual agreement, isn’t it? Mr.

Mitchell, it seems you’re trying to coerce a partnership.

”

Beside Tyshawn, Malvina chimed in with a hint of accusation, “Mr.

Pierce, we’ve treated you with considerable hospitality, yet you reject our collaboration outright?”

As she spoke, her eyes cast a scornful glance toward Hannah.

“Mr.

Pierce, surely as a mature businessman, you aren’t letting a woman’s opinions sway your decision-making, are you?”

Maloney countered with a dismissive smirk, “In the realm of business, decisions aren’t influenced by gender; rather, they are driven by competence.

It’s fascinating, you undermine women, yet here you are yourself.

What’s your role then?”

His tone was dripping with sarcasm.

“Are you merely for decoration?”

His words cut sharply through the air, prompting Hannah to raise her eyebrows in acknowledgment of Maloney’s increasingly pointed remarks.
