The developer sold it for five hundred thousand per pill. Yet, in fact, it had already fetched a sky-high price at an underground auction.
“Five hundred thousand per pill? How much does this whole bottle cost?” Zoe's mind went blank for a moment.
Am I holding fifteen million in my hand?
Zoe suddenly realized and said with a flustered expression, “I... Ashlyn, I don't have that much cash with me. I need to go to the bank...”
“Mrs. Oates, I don't want the money.” Ashlyn interrupted Zoe's anxious voice.
“Old Mr. Oates was once my mother's teacher. Even now, he still thinks of her fondly. I'm very touched.”
Ashlyn smiled.
“Besides, I treat Trevor as my younger brother. Of course, I have to look after him!” Brianna stared at the transparent little porcelain bottle in shock.
How could there be so many Rulent 133? How is this possible? B
Brianna could not believe it as she took a few steps forward, almost unable to control her actions at that moment. She reached out, wanting to snatch the transparent little porcelain bottle from Zoe's hand. Zoe was startled and quickly took a few steps back. Considering Brianna's identity, Zoe suppressed her displeasure and annoyance. She forced a stiff smile and asked politely, “Ms. Jackovich, what are you doing? This bottle of medicine is worth a fortune. If you want to see it, why not just buy a few pills? With your family background, getting a few should be a piece of cake.”
Suddenly, Brianna snapped back to reality. Only then she realized what she had actually done. Brianna's face turned red. “I'm sorry, Mrs. Oates. I was a bit absent-minded just now. I wanted to see if this medicine is authentic.
After all, many counterfeit medicines are sold at high prices in the market. If it turns out to be fake... that would be too...” Zoe frowned. Her intuition made her strongly dislike what Brianna said, especially since the former had an inexplicable sense of trust in Ashlyn.
