Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife -
Chapter 155
Chapter 155: Chapter 155
Rosemary turned the antidote she developed into pills and handed them out to her seven henchmen, one each.
After a while, they noticed some magical changes in their bodies
"I can’t feel the burning pain in my body anymore, and my dizziness has lessened"
"My skin no longer itches, and I don’t have the urge to scratch"
"I feel so much better, it’s amazing!"
They all looked at Rosemary like she was some kind of miracle doctor, their eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.
Rosemary tossed them the bottle of pills and said, "Take one every day for four more days. Your damaged skin will scab and fall off, and new skin will grow."
"So, we’re not going to kick the bucket?" The seven henchmen were overjoyed and wanted to get out of bed to thank Rosemary on their knees.
Rosemary stopped them and said, "Rest up, the best way you can thank me is to get better and keep working for the gang"
She tossed another bottle to Dr. Shawn, casually saying, "Give these to the rest."
As long as they had the antibodies, they wouldn’t get infected, even if they came into contact with virus X3.
Dr. Shawn was stunned that Rosemary had managed to develop an antidote in such a short time and deeply admired her.
"Bess, if you decide to stick around in the triangular zone, the leader’s seat will be yours sooner or later, Mafia Queen."
Just as Rosemary was about to say that wasn’t her goal, Jack came with a report: "Boss, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Rosemary looked up, without hesitation, and said, "The good news."
"In an auction happening in an hour, a Cinnamomum tenuis will be the star of the show!"
"The bad news?"
"I heard there’s only one, and Mafia C wants it too."
Mafia C was the top dog in the triangular zone, and all the other gangs and powers were a bit scared of their reputation.
Even the recently rising Mafia Wolf didn’t dare mess with them.
It was rumored that the big boss behind Mafia C was someone they didn’t want to get on the wrong side of!
He had unimaginable wealth and power.
"Miss, there’s even worse news!"
Jack swallowed hard, noticing Rosemary’s face was turning sour.
"Spit it out." As expected, Rosemary’s voice had gotten colder.
"At a previous auction in the south of the city, a Cinnamomum tenuis was sold for 300 million."
Rosemary was shocked.
300 million?
Were they robbing people?
Jack noticed Rosemary’s face was getting even worse, and he added nervously, "It’s 300 million dollars. I heard it right! They said this auction requires a financial check, anyone with less than 10 million in their
account doesn’t even get in."
He scratched his head and asked hesitantly, "Miss, do you still have money?"
The money her parents gave her, plus what she earned herself, was all invested in Villa Cascada’s drug research.
Right now, she only had the card her brother gave her, which only had two hundred million, which was obviously not enough.
"I heard Mafia C is determined to win; they have enough money–not just 300 million, but even 3 billion they can afford."
Once the bidding started, she’d definitely be at a disadvantage.
Jack stopped talking when he saw Rosemary’s face, it was beyond grim. He swallowed and said, "Miss,the McMillan family hasn’t paid us yet, and Shirley, I don’t think we should bother saving"
His last sentence seemed to hit a nerve with Rosemary. She frowned and shot him a warning look.
"What I’m saying is, Mafia C must score this cinnamomum tenuis. And the price tag might be high. just think about it, with three hundred million dollars, you can buy so many things! Take the villas at North
Summerfield center, for instance. You can bag thirty of those with that money!"
Why bother saving an old lady?
Thirty villas, switching it up every day, didn’t that sound comfy?
"I mean, some things we have to do within our means."
Better to spend that three hundred million on fun than on saving an old lady who wasn’t even blood–related!
"Let’s do this" Rosemary seemed to have made up her mind, "We’re hitting the auction. Remember to pack heat"
"Boss, are you planning a heist?" Jack couldn’t help but admire the boss’s guts, "This auction is run by Mafia Wolf. If we start a ruckus, who knows how many of our guys will get hurt!"
"You, come with me."
"Wait, me? Just the two of us?" Jack couldn’t believe what he was hearing. With the boss’s skills, she could make a clean escape, but he would be lucky to get out with just a few scratches!
She really did care about him.
Whenever there’s danger, he’s the first person she thought of!
But when it’s payday, he’s also the first person she forgot!
Seeing how nervous Jack was, Rosemary couldn’t help but laugh, "Who said anything about a heist?"
"If you’re not planning a heist, are you planning to run tabs?" Jack was confused.
"I have my ways."
Seeing Rosemary was so confident. Jack didn’t want to burst her bubble, but he had to be honest, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you one thing."
Rosemary knew Jack wasn’t going to tell her good news. And naturally, her face fell, "Spit it out before I grab a knife."
"This cinnamomum tenuis, it’s Mafia Wolf’s property. The auction is theirs. The venue is theirs. We just blew up half of their base today, even if we had the money, they might not want to deal with us. Going
there is really risky."
If Mafia Wolf saw them, they were definitely in for a pounding!
Rosemary’s eyes turned cold. He’s telling her all this now?
"We’re just not meant to have the cinnamomum tenuis."
Maybe they should have given up?
Jack thought about it but didn’t dare to voice it, afraid Rosemary would chop his head off.
Rosemary checked the time, "Get the car ready, we’re going to the auction."
"What?"
Even then, the boss still dared to go?
The boss really wasn’t afraid of death.
But Jack was!
Meanwhile.
Upon hearing the news, Carl immediately reported to Romeo.
"Mr. McMillian, the cinnamomum tenuis will appear at the auction in 40 minutes. To enter, they’ll check your assets."
"Let them." Romeo didn’t seem to care. His tone was casual.
Carl continued, "The event is being organized by Mafia Wolf. They’ve been trying to establish a good relationship with us. We have a good chance of getting the cinnamomum tenuis at this auction, it’s just
a question of the price. The previous deal was for three hundred million."
That’s a steep price!
Even the best drugs didn’t usually go over fifty million.
"Establish a good relationship?" Romeo’s voice was icy, "Are they even worthy?"
He knew about the Mafia Wolf’s recent lawlessness in the triangular zone. He had no interest in allying with such a small gang. Money can’t solve everything. Sometimes, force was necessary.
Romeo spoke to himself in his mind, "Establish a good relationship? In your dreams!"
