An Understated Dominance - Chapter 296

The doctors exchanged surprised looks when they saw how energetic Jane was. They couldn’t believe that such a tiny pill had done what a whole team of medical experts couldn’t. It was amazing!

“Is that black pill some kind of miracle cure?” one doctor wondered.

After recovering from his shock, the bald doctor asked hesitantly, “Ms. Nicholson, can you tell us what that pill is? Can we study it?”

“Yeah, right. Get lost!” Dakota immediately kicked him, causing him to groan in pain.

Realizing he had no chance, he quickly led the other doctors out of the room, disappointed.

“Who knew a little pill could be so powerful?” Florence marveled. Despite its appearance and smell, its effects were clear.

“It may have cost ten million dollars, but it was worth it!” Dakota said excitedly.

“What? Ten million?” the other two women jumped up in shock.

“Are you serious, Dakota? A bottle like this costs ten million dollars?” Florence asked, her eyes wide.

“Yeah! Were you tricked? How could something that looks so ordinary cost so much?” Jane demanded, frustrated. The richer someone was, the more they seemed to hoard their money.

“Forget it. As long as it can save you, the price doesn’t matter,” Dakota said, trying to stay positive.

“What do you mean forget it?” Jane replied angrily. “I still need to pay that brat back for slapping me. How dare he con us out of ten million dollars! I have to get that money back!” She tried to get out of bed, but her weak body couldn’t support her, and she collapsed back onto the bed.

“Mom, let’s focus on your health right now. The money can wait,” Dakota said with concern.

“Don’t worry, Jane. I’ll make sure we get that money back for you,” Dakota promised.

Florence jumped at the chance to help.

“Okay then, I’ll leave this to you,” Jane said eagerly. She was thrilled that someone was willing to run errands for her.

Just then, Dahlia rushed into the room, looking worried.

“Mom, bad news!” she said, her voice shaky.

“What’s wrong?” Florence asked, surprised to see her daughter so anxious.

“It’s about James,” Dahlia said, catching her breath. “I just found out that he got drunk last night and accidentally hit someone with his car, and now that person is dead. He’s been arrested!”

“He killed someone?” Florence was shocked. “How could this happen? He never drives after drinking!”

“I don’t know the details,” Dahlia replied, her urgency growing. “But we need to go now.”

“Right! Let’s go!” Florence said, hurrying after Dahlia.

Dahlia drove them to the investigation bureau. After a quick check-in, they entered the meeting room and saw James looking rough.

“Mom! Sis! You’re finally here!” James cried, tears streaming down his face when he saw them.

“You idiot! How could you drink and drive?” Dahlia shouted, stepping forward and slapping him across the face.
