The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 187

Kenny was surprised that the panacea polypore was that popular.

And since he had promised Frank that he would get it for him, it would be awkward if someone else bought it instead.

Still, Frank went up to the worker and said, "Can we meet the owner? I'm willing to buy it at a high price."

"Yes… Yes!" Kenny nodded in response, whipping out a stack of dollar bills and handing it to the worker. "You can have this—take us to the owner right now."

The worker was left staring at the fat stack of cash, his awkward expression instantly turning into a smile. "This way please, gentlemen."

At the back of Vintagers, Cindy was just exclaiming excitedly, "Mr. Wicker, do show us the panacea polypore!"

Johnny Wicker, the pudgy owner of Vintagers, was all smiles as he drew out a wooden chest. "Calm down, miss—this is it, the panacea polypore. Five million dollars, and I won't take any bargaining."

Cindy quickly turned toward Gina. "You can pay him now, Aunt Gina."

"Huh… actually, is it really supposed to be so expensive?" Gina pursed her lips.

She knew Cindy was just buying a single herb… but she did not expect it to be that expensive!

"Of course, ma'am," Johnny said mysteriously just then. "The polypore is a natural wonder, a herb that absorbs Mother Nature's essence. It's a treasure that isn't readily available, and five million is a special price I've set for you, Ms. Zonda. I wouldn't actually sell this to anyone else."

Cindy nodded repeatedly. "Come on, Aunt Gina. Once I succeed in securing a partnership with Ms. Salazar, I'll pay you back."

Gina gritted her teeth—five million it was.

Her niece's business would boom eventually, and if she was stingy, their relatives might start badmouthing her.
