A 300% pay rise...

Getting that would be Like hitting the jackpot!

Even Elton couldn't help getting excited, but as a grade three pill alchemist himself, he was too embarrassed to volunteer for the position of a mere assistant.

"I... Should I volunteer for the position? It's definitely better than being Elton's assistant. And I'll be given a 300% pay rise..."

Vivian began to murmur to herself. But just when she lifted her head to say that she was interested in the position, Doris smiled and said, "Miss Barbara has already picked out an assistant for herself from the Jenkins family, and that is Maria. From now on, as Miss Barbara's assistant, Maria will join the family's pill alchemist team.” Out of all the things that Doris had announced today, this was what shocked the crowd the most.

Maria would be Barbara's assistant?

Everyone glanced at Maria in surprise after Doris' revelation. Why was she suddenly promoted?

How could Maria, who had useless first grade talent, be Barbara's assistant?

Vivian clenched her fists. She was ready to set aside her pride and serve Barbara, but she didn't expect that even that opportunity would be robbed of her.

“Well... Maria's talent type is physical combat and under the first grade. She doesn't seem qualified for the position of pill alchemist's assistant, does she?" a healer commented in a low voice.

“Yes, he is right. Why don't you choose me to be her assistant instead?" someone echoed.

Of course, Doris knew these people were all after the pay raise, but how could they understand Mrs. Jenkins’ and Barbara's plan?

“Please calm down," Doris said, smiling. "I'm only in charge of notifying you about it. It was Mrs. Jenkins who granted Miss Barbara's request. Do you dare to go against Mrs. Jenkins’ wishes?"

When the restless people heard this, they soon calmed down. The members of the Jenkins family had no choice but the accept the decision. They could glance at Maria with resentful eyes.

Maria muttered to herself, "Even if I am given a 300% extra bonus, it will only be fifteen thousand dollars and 3 lowest grade pills every month.

How could you make me the target of public criticism by providing me with so Little benefit?"

Despite the unpleasant glances from others surrounding her, Maria couldn't help but praise Mrs. Jenkins’ plan.

“Miss Maria, come with me to Miss Barbara's studio. You may begin working today," Doris said.

"Okay," Maria responded calmly.

She had no intention of becoming Barbara's assistant. But, having returned to the Jenkins family, she had to roll with the punches. Continuing to run away from it would not solve the problem.

In reality, Barbara's studio was to reopen the family's alchemy chamber, which had originally belonged to Elton and the place would only be used by Barbara in the future.

Nobody was in the studio. However, there was a Lot of pharmaceutical residue on the working bench and the floor, and the instruments required to make pills had recently been used.

“Miss Barbara must have finished her pill production and returned to her room for a rest," Doris said. Please clean up the room, Miss Maria

Now she was being treated as a cleaner. The Jenkins family was so wealthy that the estate housed hundreds of servants.
