Chapter 24 Swindling Him Out of Fifty Million
“Get medicine for my grandfather.”
Josiah Hunter had treated Samantha fairly well in her past life. Moreover, when Noah wanted to annul his marriage to marry Amy, Josiah was the first to object. In fact, he even severed all ties with Noah for Samantha.
Thinking about this, she asked Noah, “How is Grandpa Josiah?”
“It’s his old ailment. He needs to take herbal medicine for conditioning.”
Samantha nodded. “I’ll visit him when I can.
The next second, the pharmacist returned with Samantha’s medicine. “Miss, your medicine is ready. Will you be paying with a card or in cash?
“Card, please.” Samantha opened her bag, pretending to search for her wallet. However, after searching for a while, she couldn’t find it. “I forgot to bring my wallet. How about I owe you, and I’ll come to pay next time?”
The pharmacist was about to refuse, but Noah generously handed his card to the pharmacist. “I’ll cover her payment.”
His domineering gesture made Samantha sneer. Trying to be generous, eh? Well, you’ll regret it later!
After the pharmacist took Noah’s card, Samantha turned to Noah embarrassingly. “I’m sorry” to have you pay on my behalf when we haven’t seen each other for a long time. How about this? I’ll return you the money the next time we meet?”
“Don’t worry about it, Noah generously replied. The medicine doesn’t cost much. You don’t have to pay me back.”
“But-
Interrupting Samantha before she could finish her words, Noah said, “Sam, if you still consider me as a brother, don’t be so polite with me.”
Ar that, Samantha pretended to be very touched and said, “Thank you, Noah. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”
“Sure.”
Shortly after, the pharmacist handed Noah’s card back to him. Noah took it, then said to Samantha, “Sam, do you have time later? I’ll treat you to a meal.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Samantha glanced at the time; it was almost noon. Planning to bring lunch to Finley soon, she declined Noah’s invitation, “Sorry, Noah, I have something to do later. I can’t have lunch with you this time. Next time, I’ll treat you.”

Samantha left with the medicine.
Noah was about to go after her when he received a text message on his phone. ‘Dear Gold Card user, at 11.15 a.m., you purchased medicinal herbs totaling fifty million.”
Fifty million?! Noah was somewhat skeptical, thinking he might have misread. What medicine did Samantha buy that cost fifty million?!
He approached the pharmacist and asked, “What did the lady just buy from you?”
“Alpine saw–wort, thousand–year–old ginseng, and wild bracket fungi.”
Such expensive supplements, is Samantha not afraid of overdosing?! Noah mused.
“How can just three ingredients cost fifty million?!”
The pharmacist replied, “These are rare items our boss spent tens of millions to acquire. We’ve already given you a good deal by only charging you fifty million.”
Oh, how Noah wished he could slap himself. He shouldn’t have rejected Samantha’s offer to repay so quickly.
Fifty million, gone just like that! Noah thought his heart was bleeding.
Samantha sat in the back seat, looking at the ginseng, bracket fungi, and saw–wort she had just bought. A cold smirk appeared on her lips. Actually, she hadn’t planned to purchase these items, but after seeing Noah, she immediately added these three ingredients to her shopping
