In the end, there were just too many quack doctors and swindlers.
Meeting such an extraordinary healer like Frank was a rarity, and Paul would like to get better as soon as he could.
Vicky listened to both men awkwardly for a long while and eventually said, "Mr. Fielden, about the drakeroot..."
Paul remembered with a start and quickly said, "Oh, I really would have forgotten if you didn't remind me. Just wait a moment—I'll get it right now."
He hurried to his house's basement and soon returned with the drakeroot.
Frank took a moment to verify it before nodding at Vicky.
Vicky then turned toward Paul. "So how much would you like for the drakeroot, Mr. Fielden?"
Paul smiled. "What are you saying, Ms. Turnbull? That slut would still have kept me in the dark if not for Mr. Lawrence here. Just consider it my gift."

Paul nodded. "For sure."

However, they had not left for that long when a Mercedes stopped right outside Paul's house.
Jade alighted first, studying the residence for a moment before rolling her eyes in disdain—it was a far

She strode through the front gates, with Helen and Gina hurrying after her.
As Gina pressed the doorbell, Paul was left dumbfounded—did Vicky and Frank leave something

Helen quickly said, "Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Fielden. We're going to buy it, of course."
"Hmph! You should be honored that the Lanes of Northstream want something you have!"
Jade snorted coldly as she folded her arms before her chest before wheeling on Helen. "Also, how unimportant can you Lanes of Southstream be? Prostrating yourself over a mere herb— you are an embarrassment to our name!"
Helen was speechless—did Jade consider herself an emperor or something? Was that how she asked for a favor?
Gina quickly said just then, "Oh, it's fine, Jade. Don't worry about it—we certainly wouldn't compare."
