mock annoyance. “Who’s not woman? I don’t care about that title!”
Phantom Eye grinned. “Uh, Mr. Baldwin, I’m getting a paycheck, right?”
Kingsley waved him off. “Not a chance. You’ve only been here a day and already want a paycheck? Keep dreaming!”
A martial arts master feared across Blumedale, Phantom Eye’s face instantly fell. He looked like a scolded child, utterly dejected.
Francesca giggled and patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry, Phantom Eye. Once you’ve worked a full month, you’Ddefinitely get paid, and ll even give you a high salary!”
Phantom Eye brightened up. “Well, in that case, thanks in advance, Mrs. Baldwin!”
Francesca’s cheeks turned even redder, but she could not hide the joy bubbling inside her.
Being called “Mrs. Baldwin” meant people were acknowledging her as Kingsley’s woman.
“Hah! It’s just a tiny little clinic, and you’re acting like it’s some grand business empire,” a mocking voice suddenly rang out.
Kingsley’s expression darkened as he turned toward the entrance.
Hannah and her family had walked in, each wearing a different expression. The one who had just spoken was Leroy, standing at the front with a smug smirk.
Francesca instantly stepped forward, standing protectively in front of Kingsley as she glared at Hannah.
“Ms. Snees, what brings your family here? If there’s no real reason, then please leave!”
Hannah frowned. “Ms. Aicker, you seem to have some misunderstanding about me.”
Francesca scoffed. “No misunderstanding-I just don’t like you!”
Leroy’s face twisted in anger. “Francesca, who do you think you are? You don’t like Hannah? You think she cares whether you do or not?”
Francesca smirked. “The Snees family sure gets riled up easily. If you’ve got the guts, just stay away from Kingsley for good-I’d be impressed!”
Leroy stiffened and turned to Hannah in frustration. “Hannah, did you hear that? They don’t want us here!”
He huffed. “It’s ridiculous. Whatever, we’re leaving. The Snees family has better options now anyway-we don’t need this lousy place!”
Hannah ignored her noisy little brother and kept her gaze on Kingsley. “Kingsley, I came here to discuss something with you. Step outside with me for a moment.”
Kingsley’s expression remained indifferent. “Sorry, I’m busy. If you have something urgent, you can either wait or leave.”
Hannah clenched her teeth. “Kingsley”
She knew Kingsley was doing this on purpose, deliberately making her wait and giving her the cold shoulder. A real man would not be so petty about the past.
Hannah sneered to herself. ‘Fine, Kingsley, enjoy being on top while you can. One day, our roles will be reversed!’
Irene, however, had completely dropped her arrogant attitude and now put on a flattering smile. “No worries, we’ll just sit and wait. Go ahead with what you’re doing, don’t mind us!”
Leroy scoffed. “Mom, there’s no need to lower yourself like this! If Kingsley doesn’t appreciate it, we can always go with Mr. Wright instead. It’s not like we’ll never have a better opportunity. Who knows? Our turn might come soon enough.”
At that moment, Shiloh and Cedric walked into the front hall. Kingsley had no interest in wasting his breath on the Snees family, so he turned to them with a smile. “It’s payday. Have a seat!”
Shiloh’s eyes lit up. She did not say anything, but the way she quickly sat down made it obvious she was looking forward to it.
Cedric chuckled and waved a hand. “I won’t be taking a paycheck. The Aickers have already made a fortune from the profit shares on those two miracle medicines.”
Francesca nodded. “That’s right, Kingsley. The Aickers don’t need to take any more money from you-you’ve given us plenty already.”
Kingsley shook his head. “That’s a separate matter. Moonlit Apothecary relies on Mr. Aicker to hold down the fort. Paying you is non-negotiable!”
With that, Kingsley pulled out a stack of cash from a briefcase and tossed it to Cedric.
“Mr. Aicker, this is half a million. No strings attached-it’s your salary for running the clinic!”
Before Cedric could even start refusing, Kingsley pulled out another bundle of bills and handed it to Nyla.
“Nyla, catch. This is yours!”
Nyla stared at the thick stack in shock. “How much is this? This seems way too much!”
Kingsley grinned. “Not much, just 100 grand. From now on, as Moonlit Apothecary expands, you’ll be in charge of overall management. Your pay will only go up!”
Lastly, he pulled out 20 thousand dollars and handed it to Shiloh. “Heh, Shiloh, since you’re only in charge of keeping the place clean, your pay is a lot lower.”
Shiloh shook her head eagerly. “This is more than enough! It’s way better than washing dishes at some restaurant. Thanks!”
Kingsley chuckled. Shiloh was always amusing. She might be a martial king, but give her money, and she would be loyal like a grateful worker.
“Alright, that wraps up payroll. Next month, Moonlit Apothecary’s revenue will be even higher!”
Clapping his hands, Kingsley sent
Cedric and the others back to their tasks.
Meanwhile, the Snees family sat there in stunned silence.
Venet
They had never imagined Moonlit Apothecary would pay this well; a senior doctor would make half a million just for seeing patients; nurse would earn 100 grand a month. Even a janitor got paid 20 grand.
This kind of salary was unheard of-even the top hospitals in Holtrien could not compete.
Leroy’s eyes burned with jealousy, and he shamelessly said “Kingsley, I’m not a doctor, but I could work here as a male nurse. You could pay me 100 grand a month too, right?”
Irene quickly chimed in, laughing awkwardly. “Kingsley, you know I’m getting older, and I’ve been scammed out of a lot of money over the years. I don’t even have enough saved for retirement! How about you hire me to cook for the clinic? I won’t ask for much-50 grand a month will do
The sight of the mother and son practically groveling made Francesca sick to her stomach.
“Sorry, we’re full,” Kingsley rejected them without hesitation.
Leroy refused to give up. “Kingsley, your business is booming, and this place is huge. There’s no way you’re at full capacity! Hire me, and I promise I’ll work hard!”
Kingsley’s tone remained indifferent. “We might hire more people in the future, but there’s one requirement-no hiring lazy slackers with bad character.”
Leroy’s face instantly turned red with anger. “Kingsley, just say it-you don’t want me here because you think I’m a piece of trash, right?”
Kingsley shot him a cold glance. “Yeah, so what? I don’t like you, and I think you’re worthless-what are you gonna do about it?”
Leroy fumed, but he forced himself to hold back. Right now, he could talk big, but if he actually tried to start a fight, he would just embarrass himself.
Hannah spoke up, her voice steady. “Kingsley, you have no experience running a business. From what I see, your payroll is completely unreasonable!”
Kingsley sneered. “Oh? Ms. Snees, the all-knowing corporate executive, please enlighten me.”
Hannah replied coolly, “I wouldn’t call it enlightening-I just want to point out some basic common sense. If you’re paying out hundreds of thousands in salaries every month, then Moonlit Apothecary needs to be making at least two million to break even!”
Her implication was clear-Kingsley was handing out fat paychecks, but the clinic’s revenue could not possibly support it. In other words, he was just trying to look rich.
Leroy scoffed. “Yeah, right! This run-down little clinic making two million a month? If it even makes half a million, I’ll chop my head off and kick it like a soccer ball
Kingsley chuckled and could not be bothered to argue with such short-sighted fools.
Francesca, on the other hand, was not having it. “The Snees family sure loves looking down on people! Well, let me set the record
BUT
straight-Moonlit Apothecary has only been open for about a month. But as for revenue? It’s already passed five million! Two million? Please, don’t insult us.”
Irene and Leroy’s jaws dropped. They wondered if that was even possible. Could this place really be making that much money?
Hannah remained composed. “If what Ms. Aicker is saying is true, then Moonlit Apothecary must be generating nearly 20 grand in business every single day. From a professional standpoint, that sounds absolutely ridiculous.” Francesca scoffed. “I knew you wouldn’t believe it, Hannah. Nyla, bring out the tax records!”
Nyla smirked proudly and immediately went to retrieve the documents. Determined to prove them wrong, Hannah leaned in to examine the records.
The moment she saw the numbers, her body stiffened. Based on the tax filings, she could easily calculate Moonlit Apothecary’s total monthly revenue.
Sure enough, it really did exceed five million. Looking at the numbers, it was clear-Kingsley’s high salaries were not unreasonable at all!
Francesca smirked. “Ms. Snees, do you still have something to say?”
Hannah’s face turned red with embarrassment, and for once, she was at a complete loss for words.
Leroy’s jealousy burned even hotter as he glared at Kingsley Kingsley, look at you now! Not only are you getting girls left and right, but your business is booming too! Moonlit Apothecary is making you a fortune every month. If you count the profits, you could buy a brand-new G-Wagon monthly, huh?”
Kingsley smirked. “So what? What does that have to do with you?”
Leroy fumed. “Of course, it has something to do with me! Kingsley, you and Hannah were meant to be together! Our family came here today to ask-when are you marrying her?”
Kingsley frowned. “Leroy, have you lost your damn mind?”
Marriage? He had to give it to the Snees family-they were shameless beyond belief.
Irene forced a smile and said, “Kingsley, we came here with sincerity. We truly want to make peace with you! You and Hannah can still get back together-most of what happened was just a misunderstanding!”
Before Kingsley could even respond, Francesca had already stepped in. She stomped up front and glared at the Snees family.
“Sorry, but Kingsley is taken! Ms. Snees, you’re beautiful and a CEO-you could have any man you want. But when it comes to Kingsley, your family can forget about it!”
Her fierce little stance even took Kingsley by surprise.
From the back, Cedric was thoroughly entertained. He silently praised, ‘Good girl! I’ve raised you right!’
He was proud that his precious granddaughter knew how to fight for her man.
Irene’s face twisted with anger. “Francesca, we came to talk to Kingsley-who the hell do you think you are, butting in? Get lost! This has nothing to do with you!”
She would not dare speak to Kingsley like that. However, when it came to Francesca, especially since Kingsley was a golden ticket, Irene could not hold back her nasty side.
Francesca straightened her chest and stood her ground. “Oh, maybe you didn’t hear-I’m Kingsley’s woman now! Not just me, but also Lauren, my best friend. Kingsley belongs to both of us!
“So now you understand why I have a say in this, right? You’re an elder, yet you have no shame trying to steal someone else’s man. If anyone should get lost, it’s you!”
Irene was livid. “Y-You… How dare you! The Aickers are supposed to be a respectable family, yet you act so shamelessly!”
Francesca shot back without hesitation. “Oh? And Hannah has shame? She dumped Kingsley, chased after wealth, and threw herself at Harvey Weller!
“In the end, she nearly got used up and tossed aside, and your whole damn company almost got taken from you! Now that she has nothing left, she wants to crawl back to Kingsley? Please, your whole family is the real definition of shameless!”
