The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance

Chapter 104 The Price of Desperation

Evelyn: “So that’s four million worth of inventory?”

Eliza: “Of course!”

On the other end of the phone, Evelyn hardened her resolve.

Four million? Then four million it was!

If she could make a thousand off each case, that would be a huge profit!

Evelyn: “Alright then. I want five hundred cases of masks and five hundred cases of medicine. Can we put that order together?”

Eliza let out a cold laugh behind the screen.

She knew exactly how much money Evelyn had in savings.

Four million was, indeed, Evelyn’s absolute limit.

But that was only Evelyn’s limit.

Eliza had no intention of letting her off easy.

Eliza: “That’s going to be difficult. Most of our big clients place orders in the thousands. We don’t usually split orders.”

Afraid Evelyn would back off, Eliza quickly sent over several screenshots.

All of them were transaction statements from other mask sellers from the past month.

Eliza: “Our big clients have made a fortune this month. I’m offering five thousand per case, which is cheap. Most others are selling at seven or eight thousand per case. Conservative estimate? One thousand cases could make you three to four million. This industry’s raking in profits right now. I’m the only one with sourcing connections–you know how it is.”

Just seeing the transaction records had Evelyn grinning from ear to ear.

Nathan was always criticizing her for being useless around the house.

But if he saw how capable she was now, he’d be eating his words.

Then again, Evelyn quickly hit a wall.

Where was she going to come up with four million?

Eliza: “Our stock is running low. If you want to place the order, let me know tonight. Any later and I can’t guarantee availability.”

With that, Eliza closed her phone.

Placing an order of one thousand cases now was financial suicide.

She’d been wondering how to offload some of her stock quickly and at a high price–and Evelyn had come knocking on her own.

In just a month or two, there’d be an abundance of supply. Factories were working overtime, and masks and medicine wouldn’t be nearly as scarce.

Six months from now, prices would return to normal–maybe even lower.

This window, where she could sell at a premium, was her best shot.

And anyone buying now at inflated prices? They were guaranteed to lose money.

Evelyn, meanwhile, felt this was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity to strike it rich.

She rushed into the bedroom and, while Nathan was still in his study, opened his safe.

Inside were several gold bars. Evelyn quickly took a few, then shut the safe.

As long as she made a profit, she’d put the bars back later.

Let’s see what Nathan would have to say then!

By evening-

Eliza had just returned home when she received a message from Evelyn.

Evelyn promised to transfer eight million to her bank account the next day–but the goods had to be delivered quickly.

Eliza was more than happy to agree. After giving Evelyn the bank account registered under her business. name, she closed her phone.

Inside the house-

Eliza smelled the scent of freshly cooked food. She turned her head and saw Nolan in the kitchen.

He had an apron on, his side profile cold and composed.

He hadn’t noticed she was home yet. Nolan was plating the dishes.

Eliza stopped in her tracks, momentarily stunned.

In her past life, Zayden had once–just once–gotten the urge to cook for her.

But that was it. Just the one time.

Because he didn’t know how to cook, and after messing it up, he never tried again.

Nolan turned and noticed Eliza staring at him. He frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Hm? Uh…”

Snapping out of it, Eliza quickly averted her eyes. “I just… didn’t expect you to cook.”

“Cooking–is it supposed to be hard?”

“…Isn’t it?”

Eliza was a little dazed.

She remembered Zayden saying cooking was too hard, that he couldn’t learn, and that she’d have to handle it.

So, it wasn’t that it was too hard.

He just didn’t want to.

She shook her head lightly.

What’s wrong with me?

Why am I suddenly thinking about Zayden again?
