The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 506

Nikolai glanced at the pill in his eldest son’s hand. His expression was muted, which was a stark contrast to Johnny’s animated reaction upon hearing it was a Class B remedy.

“What’s this you’ve got?” Nikolai inquired.

“It’s an antidote pill, can cure all sorts of poisons,” Dane replied. His face was lighting up with pride. “It’s a new concoction I developed with my mentor. It’s been rated Class B, so my mentor says I’ve got a shot at making Senior Pharmacist this year.”

Nikolai’s face remained stoic, barely showing a ripple of emotion. He simply patted Dane on the shoulder and said in an even tone, “Well, give it your all.”

“Dane’s gunning for Senior Pharmacist already?” Asher blurted out from the side.

The leap from a mid-level to a senior pharmacist wasn’t minor. Some folks might spend a lifetime stuck between junior and mid-level, as the title of a senior pharmacist truly tested one’s innate talent and skill in concoction. Asher couldn’t believe that Dane was on the brink of earning his senior title in his forties. This would surely elevate the Reeves family’s stature in Ashford even further.

Johnny, overhearing the conversation, was taken aback. He thought Dane’s Class B antidote was impressive enough, but now a jump to senior pharmacist? The Reeves family was on the rise.

He glanced at Owen, hoping to nudge him to offer Dane some praise, but noticed Owen’s indifference. Johnny remembered that Owen only had a keen interest in politics and not much else. Johnny cleared his throat and took it upon himself to compliment Dane.

Vanity is a common trait, and Dane was no exception. Though his face showed modesty, his eyes betrayed a hint of pride.
