Chapter: 1312
Looking around at the crowd, Doris continued, "In order to facilitate Miss Barbara's efforts, Mrs. Jenkins has decided that from now on, all the members of our family who are pill alchemists or healers will take their orders from Miss Barbara. Moreover, the family treasure house is fully open to Miss Barbara. Whatever Miss Barbara does with these resources, it will be for the good of the whole family."
Hearing this, most of the people widened their eyes in envy. Resentment took root in their hearts as well.
It was common knowledge that even Elton, who used to be the only pill alchemist of the Jenkins family, was not allowed to use the stock in the family treasure house at will.
But now, those precious resources were going to be made available to Barbara to use as and when she Liked?
In fact, over the past few days, the news about Barbara had spread to all the family members.
The granddaughter of Mrs. Jenkins?
A genius healer?
Six hundred million dollars spent on buying the Reverse Pill just for her?
And now, it turned out that the treasure house of the Jenkins family was fully open to her, and that Elton, the other pill alchemist in the family, his apprentice Vivian, and the most elite healers would all have to take their orders from her!
“We are the Jenkins family, not the Herrera family..." one of the family members muttered in a low voice. Vivian, who was standing not far away from him, heard it clearly.
In fact, Doris heard these words too, but she pretended not to.
Mrs. Jenkins had already anticipated that the family members might have complaints about it.
“Mrs. Jenkins has said that all the members who are a part of Miss Barbara's team will be given a 150% pay rise," Doris explained with a slight smile playing at the corner of her lips.
The unhappiness that everyone was feeling was instantly quenched by these words.
Vivian began calculating under her breath.
“Right now, my treatment is a hundred thousand dollars a month plus 3@ Purification Pills. If I get an extra bonus, then that means..."
Just thinking of the number made her giddy with happiness, but only for a moment, because she soon heard the whispers of those around her.
"I thought Vivian would be the hope of our Jenkins family. But it seems that Barbara just waltzed in and took that spot even though her surname isn't Jenkins! She has immediately become the apple of Mrs. Jenkins‘ eyes."
“Well, there's a good reason for it. How can Vivian hold a candle to Miss Barbara? After taking the Reverse Pill, Miss Barbara is now a grade four pill alchemist. As for Vivian, she's just the apprentice of a pill alchemist. She hasn't even reached grade one yet!"
“That's right. And even her master, Elton, is only a grade three pill alchemist, which puts him below Miss Barbara's level! If it's true that each generation is weaker than the Last, then Vivian might not even be able to reach grade three in the future
Vivian simmered with anger. Back when she used to work in the entertainment industry, she had always been jealous of Maria.
After going back to the Jenkins family, she had worked hard to earn a spot that was superior to Maria. But now, a woman named Barbara had emerged out of the void and made an achievement that was beyond Vivian's wildest imagination.
Ignoring the murmurs of the crowd, Doris added, “There's one more thing. Miss Barbara needs a personal assistant to help her with her daily alchemy and dispensing preparation. This assistant will be given a 300% pay rise instead of 150%."
This piece of information elicited audible gasps from the crowd.
