“Bo, what exactly have the Camrons offered you? Why are you helping them? “Eleanor asked with her brows furrowed.
“I have always stood up for people in unjust situations. Do you have a problem with that?” Bo lifted his chin and looked down his nose at them.
“There are never lasting enemies, Bo; Only lasting interests. No matter what benefits the Camrons have offered you; the Welch family will offer you double! “Eleanor tried to strike a deal with Bo.
“Double?” Bo chuckled at that, and a hint of contempt crept into his smile.
“Truth be told, I’m the biggest shareholder of Dew Balm. I hold 40% of the shares. So, if you were to double that, that’d be 80%. Are you able to afford that?”
“What?” When she heard that, Eleanor’s expression soured. She had assumed that Bo had been offered some form of benefit to assist the Camrons. It hadn’t occurred to her that they had formed such an alliance. It was impossible to get Bo to side with them now.
“So this is how it is.” Ezra frowned, his expression dark. He had thought that something was off from the moment Bo appeared.
“Why are you silent now? Didn’t you offer to give me double?” Bo taunted.
“Hmph! You better not be happy too soon! You may have Dew Balm, but we’ve got Rejuvenaid! Who’s to say your product is better?” Eleanor huffed.
The Dawson family might be powerful, but the Welch family and the Swanson family weren’t to be trifled with either.
“Haha! Rejuvenaid? That’s just a subpar product that isn’t even worth mentioning. How can it be compared to Dew Balm?” Bo asked in disdain.
“You claim that Rejuvenaid is a subpar product? Fine! Are you down for a bet?” Eleanor challenged.
“Oh? What kind of a bet are you proposing?” Bo seemed interested in what Eleanor was suggesting.
“Simple. We’ll just bet on our sales. Let’s see who makes the highest sales!” Eleanor lifted her chin proudly.
“And what happens when we win? Or what happens if we lose?” Bo asked.
“Winning will prove which product is the genuine one. Hence, the winner shall now be in control of the market.
“As for the loser, not only will they need to surrender their formula, but they will also have to sign an agreement never to sell any similar ointments again!” Eleanor declared.
Bo raised his brows at that.
The Welch family was clearly challenging them now. Not only would they be mocked and defamed if they did not agree to it, but it would also affect their reputation.
But if they were to agree, they would be subjected to the Welch family’s and the Swanson family’s underhanded tactics.
If they lost, not only would it be embarrassing, but they would also suffer a huge financial loss. That would only result in Dawson Medical Group falling into a crisis again. The consequences would be drastic.
“What? Do you not dare to take up the bet?” Eleanor pursed her lips contemptuously.
“You claim that yours is the genuine product, but you don’t even dare to compete with us? Are you not confident in your product, or are you just cowards?”
Bo frowned without giving her an answer. Instead, he turned around to look at Dustin and Lana. Dew Balm did not belong to him. He could not make the decision himself.
“You wanna bet? Sure. We’re down for it,” Dustin spoke up. Lana’s expression changed, and she quickly advised Dustin against it.” Dustin, this might be a ploy. Don’t fall into their trap!”
“Don’t worry. They’re bound to lose today. No matter what they try, they won’t be able to win.” Dustin smiled like he didn’t have a care in the world.
Eleanor was no doubt playing with fire when she suggested the bet. She was bringing the Welch and Swanson families closer to bankruptcy. And that sat fine with Dustin.
“What do you say, Mr. Dawson?” Lana turned to look at him.
“Since Rhys has decided to take her up on the bet, I fully support his decision. Our product is of good quality, and we sell it at an affordable price.
“If we do not win this bet, we might as well not sell the product anymore.” Bo shrugged. When Lana heard what Bo said, she nodded. “Fine! We’ll play their little game then! We accept the bet!”
