Justin and Jason didn’t know that Anthony only had half a magic pill, but Kenneth knew.
He knew because he had nearly gotten it from Anthony in the afternoon.
He didn’t dare to go up against Anthony himself, but if he passed the duty to the ignorant father and son duo, he could sit back and enjoy the fruits of their work with just a few simple tricks.
For example, he could first imitate a few pills based on the real thing that he had seen today. Then, after they had kidnapped Anthony, he could search for the authentic pill on Anthony’s body and slip the fake pills together. Until then, not only could he cure his impotence, but he could also blame Anthony’s death on them!
Justin, on the other hand, didn’t overthink it.
In his opinion, the enemy of his enemy was his friend. Since they had the same enemy, they could be comrade-in-arms. The more the merrier. Besides, they could divide the risk evenly, so why not?
As for the magic pill, he didn’t know how much Anthony had, but to him, Anthony had to die regardless because he and his son were very pissed with him right now.
Hence, he exchanged phone numbers with Kenneth and agreed to make time for a phone call the next day. Then, he and Jason left the clinic with the gasoline drums in tow.
Kenneth was rather complacent about his plan. He quickly drove back to the Wilson family villa, planning to make some dough, add some black paint, and knead out some sphere-shaped dough that imitated the pill.
Meanwhile, in another car, Jason asked his father, Justin, “Dad, so what’s the plan for tomorrow? Is it still the same as we planned? We lure Joe out and kill him, then, we meet with this guy to kill Anthony Simmons together.”
Justine nodded. “Yes! We kill Joe first, then, we get that magic pill from Anthony and heal your legs!”
“That’s awesome!” Jason shrieked excitedly. “If we can get the magic pill, I don’t have to be a cripple anymore!”
Justin smiled. “Son, don’t worry. I won’t let you limp forever. I’ll even trade my legs for you!”
Then, he added, “Let’s go home and take a rest. Tomorrow, call Elaine and proceed as we planned!”
“Alright, dad!”

The next morning, Joe bought breakfast at home. When Elaine had finished her breakfast, she went out to play cards with her friends.
Elaine loved playing cards. Whenever she was free, she would go to her friend’s house to play cards.
Just as she exited the house and walked toward her friend’s place, her phone rang.
She took out her phone and was surprised to see that it was Jason. She quickly answered the call. “Hey, Jason, what’s the matter?”
Ever since Claire had married Joe, Elaine had only had one thing in mind, and that was how to get her daughter to divorce Joe and then marry her into a wealthy family.
At first, she had wanted her daughter to marry Wendell Jones, but the Jones family had suddenly gone bankrupt overnight. What was even more mysterious was the fact that Wendell and his family had disappeared out of the blue and never appeared in Aurous Hill again.
Then, she had wanted her daughter to marry Kevin White, but he had been slapped ten thousand times by Don Albert’s men while helping her to get her money back from a scam, and he too had disappeared.
A few days ago, she wanted her daughter to marry Jason Grant, but after he had been thrown out of the window of her husband’s ward, he had disappeared as well.
Truth be told, Jason was the best candidate as her daughter’s husband at the moment.
Although he had brought the crooked Dr. Lynch to treat her husband to no avail, he was a victim of the doctor’s scam as well, thus, Elaine had never really blamed him.
On the contrary, Elaine blamed herself for what had happened to Jason. She felt that he shouldn’t have received such a harsh treatment since he meant well in the first place.
So, when she received Jason’s call, she was over the moon, but also a little guilty.
Jason’s earnest voice sounded on the phone. “Auntie, I’m sorry for what happened at the hospital the other day. I was deceived and brought a fake doctor to treat Uncle. I’m very sorry and I haven’t gotten the chance to apologize to you…”
“Oh!” Elaine said. “Hey, Jason, what are you talking about! I have always been very grateful for your kind intentions, and I’m sorry for what happened to you. I should be the one to apologize to you!”
“No, Auntie, it’s my fault for not validating Dr. Lynch’s credentials first.”
Then, he added, “So, I would like to invite you for lunch someday so that I can apologize to you personally if that’s okay with you.”
Elaine was thrilled and overjoyed by the invitation!
Frankly speaking, she didn’t feel that Jason was wrong at all in this matter.
On the contrary, she felt that Jason was actually one of the victims of the incident. He had even broken his leg because of Joe the loser. She felt sorry for the innocent man.
Moreover, Jason’s call made Elaine’s impression of him a little better.
Just look at him! He was rich, kind, generous, and so respectful toward her! He was an excellent husband for her daughter!
If she could just get her daughter to mingle with Jason more often and kick the ignorant Joe out of her house, her daughter could marry a rich guy soon!
More importantly, the Grant family had a convention center where renovation projects would be humongous. If he was with her daughter, her daughter would get all the projects, wouldn’t she?
In fact, if she subcontracted the projects to other companies, she could earn a price difference there, couldn’t she?
This prospect was much better than when she was with Joe the loser!
She concluded that it was extremely hard to find a nice guy like Jason, and was determined to seize this opportunity for her daughter!
She quickly said, “Oh, Jason, you’re too welcome! You don’t have to do that…”
“It’s no big deal, Auntie. This is what I should do!”
Jason heard the enthusiasm in her tone and quickly added, “Also, to express my sincerity, I’ve also prepared a million-dollar gift for you!”
A million-dollar gift?!
Elaine grinned from ear to ear instantly!
Wow! Jason was so kind and generous!
A million-dollar gift… she would be rich!
Hence, she hurriedly agreed to the invitation and said, “Jason, let me know the time and place, I’ll be there on time!”
Jason said with a smile, “Auntie, let’s meet at the Divine Lounge on Hazel Street. It’s the best seafood restaurant in Aurous Hill.
The time will be noon, see you at the entrance then.”
“Okay!” Elaine answered delightedly.
