After the waiter left, Katelyn looked directly at Amiri, holding a document she’d prepared in advance. “This special medicine—it was developed by your lab, right? I need to know who’s bought it recently.”
She nudged the document toward him. This was the product of an investigation she’d initiated long before today.
Amiri took the papers and read through them. “Yes, it’s a unique medicine made at my lab. But as for sharing a list of buyers, I can’t do that. Our clients’ privacy is our highest priority.”
Katelyn had anticipated this response. She tightened her lips, leaning in a bit as she spoke softly. “To be frank, during one of my family members’ time in the hospital, someone used this medicine against her. That’s why I need the purchase list—to find out who’s responsible.”
She noticed Amiri’s guarded expression and added, “But don’t worry, Mr. Faulkner. We’re only looking for the person behind this; you and your lab won’t be affected.”
A flicker of surprise crossed Amiri’s face, but he kept his stance firm. “I’m sorry. I understand the situation, but I can’t go against our clients’ trust.”
Vincent’s gaze, intense and unwavering, remained on Amiri, observing the tension in his posture.
“Mr. Faulkner,” Vincent said in a calm, steady tone, “there’s no need to be so guarded. This is simply a transaction. If you provide the information, the Adams Group is willing to fund your lab. No strings attached.”
Amiri’s work was an expensive endeavor; drug research demanded more resources than most people could imagine. Vincent’s research had shown him the lab’s financial struggles, its decline clear. This was a tempting offer, honestly.
Amiri’s face showed a brief hint of hesitation. He knew the reach of the Adams Group and the weight of Vincent’s offer. He clenched his fists, his face twisted with inner conflict.

“Your offer’s hard to ignore, but client confidentiality is my line in the sand.”
Katelyn caught the flicker of doubt in his eyes and pressed on. “We’ll keep this list completely under wraps. All we need are the buyers’ names.”
Katelyn had made up her mind. She’d get her hands on that list, one way or another. She wouldn’t let the culprit slip away this time.
Amiri remained silent, his brow furrowing as he considered his choices. Vincent’s voice sliced through the air, calm but firm.
“I’m aware your lab’s struggling financially. Partnering with me could be your way out. If your drug developments succeed, Adams Group will even fund an entire production line.”
The stakes had just gone up.
Vincent wasn’t just offering support; he was dangling the resources Amiri’s lab desperately needed to survive.
