Chapter 693: Dream Seeking Group, Why Are You Interfering?

Ruan Meng quickly composed herself. “Forget about trying to recruit her. However, becoming friends with her could still be beneficial.”
Ruan Bin agreed with her assessment.
Had Gu Yang remained as she was five years ago, he would have adamantly opposed his sister befriending her.
But it seemed Gu Yang had undergone a transformation and was no longer objectionable.
Following Gu Yang’s departure, representatives from Good Pharmaceuticals, led by Gu Jin, promptly reached out to Ruan Bin.
After amicable discussions, the two parties struck a cooperation deal.
Simultaneously, Devon received word that Good had declined to collaborate with the Katie family.
During this period, Devon and Tally had been holed up in a hotel due to the lingering effects of the hypnosis.
Unable to locate Gu Yang to lift the hypnosis, they remained under its influence for a week until it eventually dissipated on its own.
However, even after the hypnosis was lifted, it left profound psychological scars on both of them.
Devon couldn’t shake off the association between Gu Yang and the word “daddy”. His limited proficiency in Chinese occasionally led to a mix-up of these two words.
As for Tally, upon regaining consciousness, she was consumed by rage, smashing the ruby she had clutched for seven days. The sight of the ruby triggered memories of the searing pain in her palm.
Fury burning in her eyes, Tally systematically removed the ruby eyes from the other dolls, her voice laced with venom. “Gu Yang!”
“I will make her pay!”
The more Tally dwelled on the humiliation she endured, the more incensed she became. As an S-rank mutant and a highly skilled hypnotist, she had been groomed by her family since childhood, a prideful heiress. Never before had she suffered such indignity.
But Devon intervened, halting her vengeful tirade.
“Brother!” Tally protested furiously. “Don’t hold me back. I refuse to endure this quietly!”
“Tally, don’t act rashly. You’re no match for her,” Devon cautioned. Despite his own frustration, as the heir to the Katie family, he prided himself on maintaining composure.
Tally remained obstinate. “It’s her fault for deceiving me! I believed Gu Yang was just an ordinary person, so I let my guard down. Brother, trust me, I won’t fall victim to her hypnosis again!”
Devon lapsed into silence, skeptical of her assurances.
“We should return to Continent M.”
“Did Good agree to collaborate with us?”
Tally recalled that it had been a week since the hypnosis incident. They had contacted the Good Pharmaceuticals representative prior to their encounter with Falling Rice that day.
Devon shook his head, his expression grim. “Good has partnered with the Bass family.”
Tally was incredulous. “What? Is the Good representative out of his mind? Rejecting us to join forces with the Bass family? We clearly offer a better chance of success and greater benefits than the Bass family.”
Devon couldn’t fathom it either. He had assumed that the leadership at Good Pharmaceuticals, if not foolish, would recognize them as the superior choice had they proactively reached out to Good.
He had intended to personally speak with the Good Pharmaceuticals representative later, but his attempts were rebuffed.
“You have no idea what’s best for you!” Tally exclaimed indignantly.
Just then, Devon’s phone rang. His expression shifted dramatically after the call.
Tally inquired, “What’s wrong, brother?”
“Pack your things, we’re heading back to Continent M immediately. Something has happened to the family. Damn it, why is the Dream Seeking Group involved? Aren’t they in the high-tech industry?!”
Devon vented his frustration by pounding his fist against the wall.
Initially, the Katie family’s prospects weren’t dire when Good Pharmaceuticals opted to collaborate with the Bass family. They still had a chance to prevail.
But now, with the involvement of the Dream Seeking Group, the situation had become even more complex. While the Dream Seeking Group might not offer technical support like Good, they certainly had the financial resources to influence the outcome.
