My Fabulous Girl Boss

Chapter 5

It’ll be unsettling having someone with ulterior motives in the house!” Hugh looked worse. Liam and Sadie’s prejudice toward Kayson was truly too strong. It was just that Hugh thought they should at least save Kayson some pride when there was an outsider around. Kayson was calm, like he did not mind what was happening. Zachary could not say much, but he felt that the young man was not someone like that. “Hmm?” Zachary suddenly sniffed and asked, “Why’s there a scent?” Sadie quickly answered, “Dr. Ewell, it must be the goat droppings. I threw them away!” Zachary was alarmed and looked at the trashcan, catching sight of four pills the size of goat droppings in there. He did not care that it was a trashcan and picked one of the pills up to take a whiff. Immediately after that, the famous miracle doctor of Skyriv wore a look of disbelief. “H-How is this similar to the long-lost Panmederi pill!?” Sadie froze and felt her heart lurch. “Dr. Ewell, you must be mistaken. What do you mean Panmederi—” Zachary ignored her and looked at Kayson in thrill. “Kayson, did you concoct these? Is it the Panmederi?” “I think so. It’s similar to the name my mentor mentioned,” answered Kayson. Zachary gasped. “Can you sell me the pills, Kayson? Whatever price you name!” Kayson chortled. “Leave one for Grandpa Hugh, and you can have the rest, Dr. Ewell.” Zachary was overjoyed as he held his breath from the excitement. “R-Really!? Thank you so much!” Liam wore a flurry of emotions while Sadie froze in shock. “D-Dr. Ewell, these are… actually medicinal pills?” Hugh asked awkwardly with a grimace. Zachary replied with a firm nod and carefully placed all four pills on the table as if they were gems. “Mr. Wolfenden Sr., the Panmederi pill is a long-lost wonder drug for healing. The formula was lost centuries ago. “In the ancient times, this was something only high-ranking military officers could enjoy! “If I weren’t a little more knowledgeable thanks to my ancestors, I wouldn’t be able to recognize these gems. These are genuine pills here, Mr. Wolfenden Sr.!” Hugh was dumbstruck. ‘They are such precious panaceas?’ Sadie was in disbelief as well. These balls that looked like goat droppings were so valuable? And she had thrown them away!? The Wolfenden heiress felt quite ashamed of herself as her face burned in embarrassment. If there were a hole on the floor, she would have buried herself in it. Liam did not expect the turn of events either and coughed dryly. “Dad, since Dr. Ewell says that it’s a potent panacea, take one.” He looked at Kayson doubtfully after that. If the medicinal pills were that effective and valuable, where did the young man get them from? Hugh snapped back to reality and chuckled. “Dr. Ewell, Kayson gave these to me. You can’t just take them!” There was no way Zachary would lose these precious gems, so he argued without a care for his image, “No way! Kayson gifted them to me just now! I can give you two of them at most! “You threw them in the trashcan, so you obviously didn’t want them anymore. I picked them up, so they’re mine.” Sadie was mortified. She would never have thrown them if she knew how precious they were! There was no use regretting it now. Hugh snorted in annoyance and turned to ask, “Kayson, can you get more of these?” “Uh…” Kayson was at a loss for an answer, but he changed his mind and shook his head upon sensing Zachary’s eager gaze.
