Chapter 38
Julius pulled out his phone. The screen protector was pristine, like in was fresh out of the box. Zack and Leo watched as Julius handed it over to
Quiana, casually saying. Put that on for me, would ya!”
Zack and Leo were dumbfounded.
After a moment of surprise, Zack grinned. “Ah, the ladies sure know how to change a guy?
Quiana snickered and tossed Juhus’s phone to Hugo. “Do your magic”
Hugo’s eyes lit up, “Sir, want a phone case loo?”
“Sure, why not Julius was
us was fidilling wi
with the blanket on his lap. He was talking to Hugo, but his gaze was on Qusana.
Quiana narrowed her eyes, a sterly glint in them. She was sure Julius hadn’t taken the pill; she couldn’t figure out why he was getting close to her.
Hugo was a pro, he slapped the new screen protector on in no time and finished it off with a flashy gold phone case. “Fits your style, right?” He grinned. “That’s 500 dollars, thanks”
The phone case glinted annoyingly in the sun, so cheesy that even Zack couldn’t help but smirk inside, thinking. Those two siblings have a knack for overcharging people, no doshı”
Leo was about to pay when Julius opened WhatsApp and said to Quiana in his cool voice, “His skills are cool. Add me on WhatsApp, we can talk about the deal later.”
Hugo was puzzled. “What deal?”
Zack smirked, stepped over, pulled Hugo aside, and whispered. “Haven’t you figured out Julius is trying to get Quiana’s number!”
Hugo was speechless.
Quiana chuckled and added Julius on her WhatsApp.
At the Larson Group office, Xavier flopped onto the couch and poured himself a glass of cold water first. “Tm furious!”
His buddy Tyshawn Mckee was taken aback. “I can’t believe she’s your long–lost sister
Then Tyshawn asked, feeling puzzled, “If she’s your sister, wouldn’t getting medicine be a piece of cake? Why so upset?”
“Piece of cake?” Xavier clutched the glass, his eyes burning with rage. “She’s demanding 17 million dollars for one pill, the nerve!”
*1.7 million dollars for one Tyshawn was flabbergasted. “She quoted you that price hersel
Xavier nodded
Tyshawn asked carefully. “Did you guys give her a hard time when she came back to the Larson residence?”
“Give her a hard time?” Xavier sneered, his eyes filled with disgust. He said sarcastically. On her first day back at the Larson residence, she decked Heather. The next day, she went to the set to hassle Winona.
“On the third day, she ticked off Edward so much he passed out. On the fourth day, she got booted off the set. And on the fifth day, she caused a scene. It’s a wonder she hasn’t dragged the Larson name through the mud.
Tyshown was at a lows for words.
“But that doesn’t add up,” Tyshawn mused.
Then Tyshawn said, “My uncle said she’s a bit odd, but she’s really serious about her work. Plus, this pill is special; it usually goes for two hundred thousand dollars a pop during the day but at night, it’s 1.7 million dollars. And you….
Clearly, it was a deliberate scam.
Two hundred thousand dollars each?” Xavier’s veins were popping on his forehead. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner!”

Tyshawn shrank back, scared, and mumbled. “I thought you’d look into it yourself, and when I tried to tell you, you were too busy to listen“”
Xavier was so mad he had to take a few deep breaths before asking, “Where else can I get this medicine?
Tyshawn frowned and shook his head, “Nobody knows the name of this drug; they just call in the ‘Mystic Pill, and even the ingredients are a mystery. Supposedly, it’s only at her stall.”
Knowing that Quiana always stayed in the slums, Xavier didn’t believe that she could have gotten her hands on something this big. He scoffed, “I can’t believe I can’t get it anywhere but from her!”

At the Hawley residence, Julius was by the lake, not fishing today, just scrolling on his phone. The golden phone case was blindingly bright in the sunlight
Shane handed him the medicine and said seriously. “There’s still no sign of The Seraphic, but… He paused, “Lairly, a drug called ‘Mystic Pill‘ has hit the market. It’s said to have unique effects, but it’s super rare. It’s making waves on the black market”
