Chapter 282 The Crimson Bloom
“As a shareholder and executive of Nygard Group, of course I want to see the company thrive.
“I hope these methods help everyone so these rare herbs can grow stronger and healthier.”
Amelia might come off as cold, easily ignoring anyone or anything she dislikes.
But when it comes to handling people and getting things done, she could be just as smooth and diplomatic as anyone.
“This one here is a new hybrid I developed. It’s great for treating skin conditions and also helps with depression and anxiety. It’s top–tier pharmaceutical material.”
To fully win over the company’s core experts and staff, she revealed one of her secret treasures -a rare plant she’d been keeping to herself.
Amelia had always been protective of her herbs. Her private greenhouse was filled with precious, one–of–a–kind plants:
Bringing out even one today was a huge sign of sincerity.
“Oh my god, is that a Crimson Bloom? I thought that species went extinct!”
One of the professors recognized it instantly, his voice trembling with excitement.
The Crimson Bloom was legendary for treating skin diseases, moderate.burns, and even certain mental health issues.
Globally, fewer than ten thousand frozen samples existed—and not a single living one.
But the one in Amelia’s hand was alive.
If they could reproduce it, it would be a breakthrough for the entire research world.
“Yes,” Amelia said, smiling faintly. “It’s an improved version of the Crimson Bloom. Its medicinal value is more than ten times higher than the original.
“Take good care of it. If we can achieve stable yields, the higher–ups will definitely start seeing Nygard Group in a new light.”
Nygard Group’s reputation had taken a nosedive lately–thanks to Gianna’s scandals and her public spats with her brothers.
Amelia had wanted to help before, but putting Gianna in her place and cleaning up her brothers‘ messes had seemed more urgent.
Now that they’d all been silenced for a while, it was the perfect time to restore the company’s image.
Sure, Gianna had managed to stabilize the company’s herb supply chain, but that only secured their monopoly status–it wasn’t real progress. ̧
To truly increase the company’s value, they needed to develop new breeds and boost the output of rare herbs.
Amelia knew this improved Crimson Bloom was the perfect opportunity.
Her next move was to find her own loyal team inside Nygard Group–smart, capable researchers she could trust.
That was the only way to protect Conrad’s life’s work.
After all, Conrad wasn’t just a successful businessman; he was also a brilliant scientist.
People who could balance both were almost unheard of.
Other than Jeremy’s father, Hendrick, only Conrad had ever managed to master both business and science.
And beyond rebuilding the company’s research power, Amelia also needed her trusted people to help her find the mole hiding within Nygard Group.
This move alone had completely crushed Gianna–utterly and completely.
Even if Gianna hadn’t faked her stomachache or been exposed for cheating, she still wouldn’t have been able to turn things around.
Gianna felt miserable, humiliated beyond words.
At first, Amelia had acted clueless, pretending to seek her advice.
But thinking back on how flawlessly Amelia had performed today, Gianna realized she’d been the clown all along.
That smug self–confidence from earlier now felt like pure foolishness, leaving her both embarrassed and resentful.
She made an excuse to leave the greenhouse, but no one tried to stop her. No one even cared that she was gone.
Since joining Nygard Group, Gianna hadn’t felt this ignored in a long time.”
2/3
It reminded her painfully of her early days in the entertainment industry–lonely, overlooked, and powerless.
