Chapter 77 Discrete Thoughts
Jasmine Xander analyzed, “If Annalise Barton has a way to obtain more Energizing Pills, it would imply that Julian can obtain more as well. An Energizing Pill is worth a lot.”
Megan Smith rolled her eyes and interrupted, “So what? I asked Abigail about the Energizing Pill. It costs more than 450 thousand dollars per pill. A jar of a dozen Pills is only about 7.5 million dollars. To ordinary people, that might be a sum they will never be able to earn, but for the Parks family, it’s nothing. Perhaps Julian will not rely on selling medicine to establish his power?”
Timothy looked at Megan as if he was looking at a fool and said. “That’s not what Jasmine meant. What she meant was that if Julian obtained the source of the Energizing Pill, he could use the pills to win people over.”
Just looking at the people around them, Old Madam Blake’s health had always been poor. The Energizing Pill could increase her life span for a few more years. Would she then not be grateful to Julian? Would she not support Julian?
Among the top ten wealthy families of Jadeborough, which one of them didn’t have an elderly whose health was worrying? Old Mr. Jones had been paralyzed in bed since half a year ago. It was said that he had even lost control of his feces and urine.
“There’s also the old lady of the Zeller family. She’s not in good health either.”
Everyone fell silent, and their expressions became solemn.
Albert said solemnly, “Timothy is right. If Julian can grasp the source of the Energizing Pill, he can win over the hearts of the entire Jadeborough. He can completely stabilize his position as the Parks Group’s leader. When that happens, he will be legitimate and have people on his side. Who then will be his match? Hence…” Timothy and his brothers looked up at Albert in unison. “So, we have to find the source!”
Albert nodded heavily. “Yes!”
Timothy frowned. “I’m afraid Annalise Barton won’t share such information with us.”
“You don’t have to worry much about that.” Jackson suddenly laughed.
Everyone turned to Jackson.
Jackson said, “We overheard it at that time. Annalise Barton doesn’t have the other party’s contact information at all. It was just a coincidence that she saved someone and they gave her a jar of pills as a thank-you gift. If she has their contact information, Julian would have made a move long ago. Why would he wait until now?”
Everyone nodded and praised Jackson for his deduction.
Megan loved to play devil’s advocate. She rolled her eyes and asked, “What if Annalise Barton does know that old man who knows how to refine elixir pills?”
Jackson replied confidently, “If Annalise Barton really knew an old man who knows how to make pills, Julian would definitely bring Samuel to seek medication immediately. Why would he wait until now? Who doesn’t know that Samuel has high blood pressure and coronary heart disease? His lungs are also not good, and he often gets choked with phlegm. His health is so poor it’s as if he will pass away any moment.”
