Under the Heiress' Facade



Hera exited the group and picked up her phone to make a call.

An excited male voice came through the line. "You finally called!"

Hera moved the phone away from her ear. "How's the collection of the herbs going on your end?"

"I've managed to buy up all the oyster shells, sea cucumbers, turmeric, and reishi mushrooms

available in the market." Thiago grinned.

Hera received news that Everly had started buying herbs at high prices a week ago. At the time, she was busy with the development of new chips and research on Harvey's condition, so she didn't pay much attention.

However, she had messaged Thiago, whom she knew from her days selling herbs, and informed him of the situation. She then asked him to collect herbs at his place.

"Good, hold on to them. These four herbs will fetch a good price in a couple of days," Hera muttered.

Thiago beamed. "Aren't the prices high enough? The market here hadn't yet caught on to the price fluctuations when I bought them. I heard the market in your area has inflated the prices of these four herbs to three times the normal rate.

"The sellers here regret selling them to me, but it's too late. The herbs are already in my warehouse."

"You'll see soon enough." Hera hung up the call and clicked on the Divine Forum.

She wrote in her post that she would offer six times the market price for oyster shells, sea cucumbers, turmeric, and reishi mushrooms, with no limit on quantity. The more, the merrier.

As soon as the post went up, it went viral.

"Why does Dr. Shadow want to buy these herbs?"

"Six times the price! Is there still time to collect and sell them?"

"Is there an outbreak of some disease?"

"I've heard that the Chime family is also buying these four herbs at high prices."NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Who knows? But with both Dr. Shadow and the Chime family buying, should we also stock up?"

"We'll just buy whatever Dr. Shadow buys."

"Wow, I just asked my clinic, and they're already sold out.

"My local clinic is sold out too!"

"No! I cleared out my sea cucumber stock too early and lost out on a huge profit! Six times! I missed out on a fortune."

Youngworth Miracle Clinic was bustling. Many businessmen received the news and came to seek cooperation.

"Is it true that you're offering six times the price? Are there any quality requirements? I can get reishi mushroom."

"I have a few bags of oyster shells and sea cucumbers in the making. Can you buy them if they're ready by the end of the month?"

"I can get 500 bags of turmeric by next month. Do you want to pay the deposit? I can supply them next month."

Faced with the businessmen's

Pet

questions, Hera said, "We'll buy oyster shelfs, sea cucumbers, turmeric and reishi mushrooms at six times the market price, provided the quality is up to standard. But we'll provide no deposit. It'll be payment on delivery. Those who are interested can stay.

"Sarah, please take down the names of those who are staying."

Sarah was happy to see the herbs coming in, But paying six times the market price made her feel it was a loss. If it weren't for Everly's price increase, Hera wouldn't have been forced to raise her offer.

She didn't understand why Hera was still buying in bulk when she had already replaced these herbs with others. She was puzzled but followed Hera's instructions. "Come, line up here for registration."

Hera watched as the line stretched on and went to her office to prepare for her patients. Before starting, she messaged Samantha to contact reporters and issue a press release.

After finishing, she began seeing patients. After seeing one patient, she glanced at her phone and saw 15 missed calls in just half an hour. One was from Gideon, one was from Gino and the other 13 were from Bernard.

He had gone on a business trip to Miridian the day before. It should be midnight in Miridian at this time.
