Sophia knew why they did this. Traditional medicine performed very well in treating hemorrhoids. Several famous brands of hemorrhoid creams on the market were also selling well. Moreover, there is a saying that “nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids.”
Regardless of gender, age, or status, everyone has hemorrhoids. Unless people change their eating habits, the incidence of hemorrhoids will probably remain high. At the same time, people have a weak concept of treating hemorrhoids.
Many people are used to enduring it, which means their bodies are tortured every day, causing inflammation and swelling. Unless the situation is very serious, people are often too ashamed to go to the hospital. Therefore, going to the pharmacy to buy hemorrhoid cream has become the first choice for many. Although a tube of hemorrhoid cream only costs a few dollars, the profit margin is high! If it can really be marketed, the profit would be substantial.
But the problem is…
The main ingredients of many hemorrhoid creams are borneol, artificial bezoar, borax, artificial musk, and other basic ingredients listed on this piece of paper. This is something that everyone knows! Even amber and calamine are common ingredients. Any company can develop such a hemorrhoid cream. The Scott formula cannot bring this recipe to market, despite extensive research, because it hasn’t yielded better results.
Therefore, Scott Richard thought of Sophia at this time.
What he wanted were the three missing herbs in this prescription! Yes, three! Because before Sophia’s father, died, he had said that there were 19 kinds of herbs in the prescription, but now there are only 16.
“Sophia, think about it, what is missing from this recipe?”
Sophia put down the paper and smiled.
When she smiled, everyone else frowned because their confrontations over the past few days had shown them that Sophia was powerful!
If she smiled, that was definitely not a good sign!
Sophia raised the corners of her lips slightly and said with a gentle smile, “Guess!”
“…”
Damn it! Scott Richard cursed in his heart! He wished he could tear Sophia’s face apart!
Sophia’s appearance really was enough to make someone hate her.
Andrea couldn’t hold back anymore. She slammed the table, stood up, and cursed:
“Sophia! You don’t want the respect we offer you! A family like the Scott family is willing to take you in, so don’t be ungrateful!”
Sophia flicked her nails, still smiling. “Andrea, your attitude is quite unbelievable! Do I need you to offer me respect? Do you think I need it from someone so shameless?”
Andrea was so angry that her hands were shaking.
Sophia stood up, looked down at them, and smiled, “You should have some dignity! Why do you think I would give you the recipe for hemorrhoid cream after you bullied me so many times and embezzled my Smith family’s toothpaste recipe? You’re dreaming!”
After hearing this, Scott Richard wasn’t only not angry but even excited: “How do you know this is hemorrhoid cream? You know this prescription!”
Sophia sneered, shook her head, and walked away.

Olivia had a hard time these days.
No matter where she went, she was called a mistress. She finally attended a shopping mall event, but as soon as she arrived, people pelted her with rotten eggs. When she reached the parking lot, someone had painted her car in red with the words “Mistresses die!”
Olivia was furious and stomped her feet, “Who did this! Call the police now! I want to see who dares to be so arrogant! I’m going to sue them!”
The agent sighed, “Alright, don’t cause more trouble! You want to sue? People already hate you enough. If you do that, netizens will just say that you’re facing the consequences!”
“You…” Olivia was shaking with anger.
The agent rolled his eyes, clearly displeased with her behavior, but since they shared their reputation, it wouldn’t be good for Olivia if she failed.
Thinking this through, the agent murmured, “Just calm down. No matter how big the scandal, it will fade away slowly. The best plan now is for you to push Scott Henry to finalize the divorce as soon as possible. Once you marry him and have a couple of cute children, everyone will forget about this in two or three years. Then you can join a family reality show and build up a good image as a mother. Are you afraid things won’t turn around?”
Olivia was still angry, but after calming down, she agreed it made sense.
Olivia hadn’t made it this far to be taken down by a bit of bad press. Fans are forgetful, and if she keeps a low profile, this will pass!
Thinking of this, Olivia took out her phone and called Scott Henry.
—
Sophia stood upstairs, listening expressionlessly to Scott Henry’s phone call downstairs. She knew it was Olivia. She didn’t know what Olivia said, but Scott Henry replied nervously, “Are you feeling unwell? Are you about to faint? I’ll be right over!”
After he left, Sophia sneered. She had seen the backlash on the Internet. Olivia had already provoked public outrage.
Netizens have zero tolerance for mistresses, and Olivia’s arrogance only made things worse.
She must be desperate; otherwise, she wouldn’t be resorting to luring Scott Henry out in the middle of the night.
Sophia smirked. Scott Henry had been staying home recently, which must have bothered Olivia.
She would make sure Olivia tasted the bitterness her former self had experienced—only a thousand times worse.
Just wait and see!

That night, Felix escorted Scott Livinus back into the house.
Scott Livinus said in a deep voice, “You should head back!”
“Boss Scott, how about I stay here? It’s inconvenient for you to walk…”
“No need!”
No one could challenge Scott Livinus’s decisions. Felix knew he couldn’t change his mind, so he closed the door and left.
As he met Sophia coming down the stairs, he asked, “Dr. Smith, do you know why our Boss Scott was injured?”
Sophia shook her head.
“That’s odd! I asked Mr. Scott, but he wouldn’t tell me. But how could someone as calm as Mr. Scott injure his leg? It’s really strange!”
Sophia laughed dryly and returned to her room.
She had forgotten that Scott Livinus’s ointment had run out, so she prepared a new one for him.
—
That night, Scott Livinus finished work and planned to go back to his room.
When he opened the door, he saw two ointment patches lying on the ground.
Scott Livinus picked them up, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
