The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 102 Worth Every Penny
After adding Eliza’s WhatsApp, Evelyn quickly sent a message.

Evelyn: “Hello, I want to buy the medicine from your shop. I’m willing to pay extra. How much is it?”
Seeing how eager Evelyn was, Eliza replied right away: Eliza: “We do have a shipment that just arrived, but it can only be sold by the case. The price is a bit higher, so I don’t recommend buying it just yet. Better to wait a little.”
Evelyn: “How much? We really need it.”
Eliza raised an eyebrow.
Looks like they’re really desperate.
Eliza: “One case has twenty–four boxes. Price is two hundred per box. Including shipping, it’s exactly five thousand.”
When she saw that each box cost two hundred, Evelyn’s expression fell instantly.
Evelyn: “What kind of medicine costs that much?”
Eliza: “That’s already the market rate. These are rare products–two hundred per box is already cheap. If you don’t believe me, feel free to check any other shop. I suggest you wait a little longer instead of rushing into it. Once we sell out this case, you can wait for the next batch.”
The more Eliza told her to wait, the more agitated Evelyn became.
Who knew if there’d even be another shipment after this one?
In the end, Evelyn steeled herself and sent another message.
Evelyn: “Fine, five thousand it is. We can always resell some of it, right?”
Eliza: “Don’t be so impulsive…”
Evelyn: “We really need the medicine!”
These scarce items were all being snapped up through insider channels–nowhere on the market could you get them.
Even if you tried to buy some, you’d be waiting at least a month just for the stock to arrive.
Evelyn quickly and decisively transferred the five thousand and asked: Evelyn: “You’ll ship it right away, correct?”
Eliza: “Right away. You’ll get it in three days. Just send me your address and phone number.”
Evelyn promptly sent all the required details to Eliza.
Seeing the money had already come through, Eliza raised an eyebrow.

Evelyn: “Do you also have any of the regulation–compliant masks? I want a few boxes.”

Eliza: “We do, but the price’s a bit higher. They’re medical–grade–completely unavailable on the open market. Same price–five thousand a case. If you want, we can ship it all together.”
Without hesitation, Evelyn transferred another five thousand to Eliza.
Evelyn: “Thank you, boss. Please ship it as soon as possible.”
Looking at the ten thousand already in her account, Eliza couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
So they had the money to buy medicine.
But not a dime to help their own daughter?
So be it.
This way, she wouldn’t feel the slightest guilt over lying to her parents.
Eliza called in a courier and had both cases sent to the Rivers family’s address.
But she wasn’t feeling charitable–it was pure profit.
Because in another month, Nathan and Evelyn would realize these previously scarce medicines and masks had become readily available on the market.
Stock would still be limited, but not impossible to find.
You’d only need to wait three to five days for delivery.
And the prices wouldn’t be nearly as outrageous.
Once everything was handled, Eliza closed her phone.
She’d squeezed a tidy sum out of that miserly couple–today had been a good day.
Meanwhile-
Zayden was driving toward the Rivers family home.
Naomi sat in the passenger seat, stealing glances at him every so often. She finally spoke in a low voice, “Zayden, about last night…”
“Let’s not talk about it. Just pretend nothing happened.”
Naomi froze. “Pretend nothing happened?”
“That’s right.”
“But we already… How can you treat me like this?”
Naomi’s face turned pale.

Zayden had always been the most responsible man–he’d never said anything so dismissive before.
His tone grew even colder. “You should know–I wasn’t in control!”
“You were the one holding onto me all night, and now you say it wasn’t voluntary?”
Zayden’s face darkened at her words. He slammed on the brakes, startling Naomi nearly out of her seat.
“Ah!”
He pulled over to the side of the road and looked at her coldly. “I lost consciousness last night. I don’t even remember what I did to you.”
“So you’re saying I’m lying?”
Tears welled up in Naomi’s eyes. “Zayden, I like you. But I wouldn’t use my innocence to manipulate you!”
Zayden was caught off guard.
Feeling wronged, Naomi unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door to get out.
There was heavy traffic all around. Zayden, afraid she’d really get hurt, jumped out of the car and ran after her.
“I was too harsh just now. I’m not accusing you—”
“You clearly were accusing me!”
Naomi said tearfully, “Zayden, we’re already engaged. I won’t be mad at you. But… you can’t say something so irresponsible.”
