Over the next few days, the Harmons began sending out invitations and busied themselves with preparations for Hector’s 50th birthday celebration. As one of the Fabulous Five, the Harmons were a large family with lots of connections, and the leader of the family, Hector, was widely revered.
Hence, when news got out that Hector was celebrating his birthday, it sent almost half the city into an excited frenzy. Countless celebrities, wealthy elites, and influential figures were eager to attend the event.
Bright and early in the Harmon estate five days later, the entire household bustled with activity. It was truly a grand affair, as not only was it Hector’s birthday celebration, but it was also the day that Tyler was coming for Natasha. The Harmons needed all the support they could get to pressure Tyler into backing off.
Back in her room, Natasha studied her face in the mirror, admiring how fair and supple her skin was now. She was pleasantly surprised by how well the wound healed. She had steered clear of mirrors for quite a while after her face was wounded, as she dreaded seeing the state her face was in.
But now, there was absolutely no trace of the ghastly wound, and it did not even leave behind a scar. In fact, her skin seemed to glow under Dustin’s careful nursing. It was apparent that Dustin’s ointment was not only capable of healing wounds, but it also had beautifying effects.
“Who’d have thought that your ointment was so effective, Dear? There’s not even the slightest hint of a scar!” Natasha caressed her face in awe.
“I told you that there wouldn’t be a scar, didn’t I? Do you trust me now?” Dustin smiled.
“This is brilliant! Immortunol can restore a person’s beauty, and this ointment can heal wounds without leaving a scar. If we put both of them together, they’d be a hit!” A superb idea hit Natasha then and there, and her eyes lit up. “Can you produce this ointment in large volumes, Dear? With advertising done right, I’m certain this will be our next bestseller!”
“You’ve got such a sharp mind! But I’m afraid I’m going to have to let you down this time.” Dustin shook his head with an amused smile. “The ingredients used for this ointment are too precious. Some of them are worth their weight in gold, so it’d be tough to manufacture them in bulk. I only make them for my own use.”
“What a shame.” Natasha was disappointed at the missed opportunity to haul in yet another fortune. As a self–made businesswoman, it was almost instinctive for her to identify and seize every opportunity to generate income and profit.
“Of course, if you think that it’s got potential, I can change up the formula a bit,” Dustin suggested. “I can swap out the rare herbs for other more common ingredients, and it’ll bring down the cost by
several folds. However, the effects will be affected
“How so? Will it still be able to heal wounds without leaving scars and rejuvenate the skin?” Natasha probed.
“Of course, it will, but it’ll take a longer time for wounds to heal,” Dustin answered.
“That wouldn’t be a problem as long as it could work.” Natasha’s eyes lit up again.

“Alright, I’ll pass you the formula in a few days then.” Dustin smiled.
“We’ve got a deal! As usual, we’ll split the profit in half!” Natasha beamed at him. She was glad to have found yet another source of income, and she was confident that as long as they advertised it well, this ointment would generate no less income for them than the Immortunol had.
“Sis…” Just then, Ruth came in through the door. “Dad wants to meet you in the meeting room.”
“Okay.” Natasha nodded and was about to bring Dustin along with her.
“Sis, Dad said that he wants to meet you alone,” Ruth said.
“Alone?” Natasha raised a brow.
“Maybe it’s something private,” Dustin said as he shot her a smile. “Run along; I’ll wait for you in the banquet hall.”
“Okay. I’ll be back soon.” Natasha then quickly left with Ruth. Dustin stretched lazily before he left for the banquet hall.
