They planned to buy her entire stock at a high price, rebrand it, and sell it to the wealthy elite.
Elizabeth, as a small–time market seller, was never supposed to be a problem.
She was married to the Hewitt family, yet she was forced to hustle in the streets. That alone showed them exactly how little the Hewitts valued her.

People like that… they’re easily bought with money.
They never expected to get it wrong.

Elizabeth widened her eyes and shrugged, looking completely innocent. “Mr. Buckner, what makes you think I’m messing with you? I set up this brand–new policy today just to stop anyone from buying too much, messing up the market, and ruining the reputation my farm worked so hard for. If you don’t believe me, ask the folks in line. Didn’t I just tell everyone about this rule?”
The customers around her had been holding back laughter for a while. As soon as Elizabeth asked, they burst out with loud agreement.
“It’s true! Mr. Buckner, Ms. Schofield really did announce this new rule earlier!”
“Yeah! She said it right before you showed up. We all heard her!”
“I was going to buy more, but when I heard the price, I got so scared I only dared to buy a hundred pounds!”
“Same here! I wanted to pick up extras for my friends, but now they’ll have to come wait in line themselves.”
Richie’s expression kept getting darker, like a storm rolling in.
Elizabeth pretended not to notice and pulled out her tablet, acting like she was about to do the math. “Oh, Mr. Buckner, I wasn’t finished yet. I’ve got over sixty tons of potatoes left, and more. than twenty tons of sweet potatoes. I’ll calculate the total for you using the tiered prices. Let’s
see…”

“That’s enough!” Richie cut her off hard, his chest heaving with anger.
He glared at Elizabeth, voice low and sharp. “Ms. Schofield, fine! But this is far from over!”
He didn’t care about keeping up appearances anymore. He grabbed his assistant and stormed off, face like thunder, practically fleeing the scene.
Elizabeth acted like she was still not satisfied and called after him a few times. “Hey, Mr. Buckner! Don’t go! I haven’t finished calculating! The price is negotiable! Buy everything before you leave! Didn’t you say Seafarm Group could handle any amount?”
She only stopped when Richie’s hover car faded into the traffic and disappeared, her lips curling with a sly grin.

“Yes!”
“Tycoon Boss, you’re the best!”
“That was so satisfying! You handled that perfectly!”
“Tycoon Boss, keep it up! We’ll always have your back!”
The crowd erupted into applause and cheers.
A few people gave Elizabeth a friendly warning.
“Tycoon Boss, be careful. Seafarm Group has a lot of power. Others who went against them before didn’t end well.”
“Yeah, they’ve got a lot of tricks up their sleeves.”
Elizabeth nodded in thanks to those who warned her. “Thank you for the heads up. I’ll keep an eye out. Alright, let’s keep going! Next!”
The man at the front of the line, an older gentleman with an energetic look, laughed and waved. “Young lady, you’ve got guts! I’ll take 200 pounds of potatoes and 200 pounds of sweet potatoes!”
Elizabeth beamed at him. “Sir, did you catch the new rule? If you buy more than 100 pounds. the price doubles. For 200 pounds, it’ll be 360 stellar coins for every 3.5 ounces. Are you sure you want that much?”
People in line gasped. “Tycoon Boss, you really meant it with this rule?”
Elizabeth smiled like it was the most natural thing in the world. “Of course. I treat everyone the same. Once I set a rule, it’s set. No exceptions.”
This rule was something she had just made up, but it was the perfect solution.
Some people in this presale had ordered over 1000 pounds at once, hoping to resell for a profit.
She couldn’t stop people from selling at higher prices later, but she wasn’t going to let others cat steak while she only got the scraps from her hard work.
A chorus of groans rippled through the crowd.
Still, not a single person left the line.
