Chapter 7: Jared's Sister

In a restaurant.

Tina, dressed in casual black attire and a duckbill cap, pushed the door open to the private room number given in the text message.

The person inside saw her and hurried to stand up, "Serena, here you are!"

His name was Cole Lyon, and like Tina, he had followed Master Tam. Over the years, he only took care of tasks for Tina.

"Mhm." Tina took off her cap and placed it on a chair to the side, "The item?"

Cole handed her an envelope, "I originally intended to buy a villa, but due to the urgency of your request, I could only find an apartment in Pinkwater Ally. I had to pay three times the market price for it. Here are the property deed and the transfer procedures, all completed."

The apartment cost a total of forty million dollars, enough to buy a villa. The thought alone made Cole wince at the loss.

"No problem, it's not a big issue."

Tina put the envelope into her bag and then took out a ceramic bottle, "Sell it."

Cole's eyes widened in shock, "One bottle? That much?"

These were Lotus Calm Tablets, fiercely sought after on the black market, with each tablet valued at five million dollars and nearly impossible to purchase even with ample money.

Because Serena only supplied one tablet at a time and would only offer another after four or five months, the value of the Lotus Calm Tablets remained exceedingly high.

Now, Serena had unexpectedly produced an entire bottle, which was nothing short of astonishing.

"Ah, spent forty million; need to make it back, or next month I'll be eating dirt," Tina pinched her temples, looking pained.

She was rather lazy and didn't want to fuss over finances. Over the years, she made just about forty million dollars by selling Lotus Calm Tablets. Today, it was all spent in an instant. She needed to make some money!

She also had to support her elderly father and her stepmother!

Oh right!

Hugo and Jennie had a son, attending kindergarten in a boarding school.

Jennie's daughter, however, didn't require Tina's support. Elsa was older than her, had her own job, but after her return, Jennie had dipped into Elsa's dowry, which meant Tina needed to earn that back as well.
