Chapter 67 These Energizing Pills Are Fake
Samuel reprimanded Tony. “From when Julian married her, half of every dollar he earned was hers. Why? Is Julian an ordinary worker, so as his wife, doesn’t have money?”
Tony was speechless.
It was frustrating!
He said angrily, “Those elixir pills are fake!”
He had seen Annalise make them.
“It’s supposed to be a joyous day. Do you have to make things look nasty?” Samuel was also angry.
Tony pointed at the jar. “Dad, look at the rough packaging yourself. Do you think those elixir pills are real?” The surrounding onlookers gossiped about it even more intensely.
“Hey, do you think those pills are real or fake?”
“I think they are fake. Look at that paper. Although it looks rough, it’s not old at all. If they are elixir pills, they would be at least decades old. How can the wrapping paper be so new?”
“Fair enough.”
“But that jar looks so old. Why do I think they are real? I believe that Julian won’t mess around!”
“I also believe in Julian!”
“Why don’t we make a bet? Let’s bet on whether this jar of elixir pills is real or fake. Let’s not bet too much. How about two million dollars?”
“Okay, okay. I have nothing to do anyway.”
“Count me in. I bet the elixir pills in the jar are fake.”
“Count me in. I bet it’s fake too.”
“Haha, let’s calculate the odds. I’ll bet that it’s real. If the three of you bet on fakes, the odds will be 1 to 3.”
“Count me in. I’ll bet on it’s fake!”
All of them muttered.
More and more people joined the bet.
When Sybil heard everyone’s discussion, she was angry and rushed over. “Count me in. I’m betting on the pills. All those who are betting on fake pills, come and bet against me. I’ll pay for each elixir pill in that jar.” She trusted Julian that much.
Then, Lianne also joined the bet. “I also bet that the elixir pills are real.”
Samuel reprimanded Tony. “You’ve lived for dozens of years. Why don’t you understand that packaging isn’t important for anything? What’s important is the inside.”
His words had a double meaning.
Actually, even he did not dare to believe that it was a jar of Energizing Pills.
He knew too well that the elixir pill had miraculous effects and was extremely difficult to obtain. Even the aristocratic family, like the Parks family, only had one elixir pill passed down by generations.
There were at least a dozen of them in such a huge jar. It did not seem real.
However, regardless of whether it was true, he treated it as a gift from his granddaughter-in-law.
“Yes, you’re right. The packaging isn’t important. What’s important is the inside. The background isn’t important. What’s important is the character. Some people are not only greedy, but they also cheat. It’s really…”
“Enough! If I say these pills are real, they are real. The Parks family had an elixir pill passed down by our ancestors. How can I be wrong?” Samuel berated Tony.
Alexander saw that the time was right. He held Abigail’s hand and smiled. “It’s our turn.”
The two of them walked forward. Alexander smiled and said, “Dad, Grandpa, stop arguing. It just so happens
that Abbie’s birthday gift for Grandpa today is also an Energizing Pill. We’ll know if it’s real or fake after comparing.”
Tony immediately said, “Let’s compare them immediately.”
When they heard that Alexander’s wife was also presenting an Energizing Pill, everyone’s expressions became even more gossipy and playful. It was getting interesting!
They wondered who would be humiliated.
Everyone was looking forward to it.
Samuel’s expression was a little ugly.
He felt it was unnecessary to make things ugly among family members.
He knew very well that Julian and Alexander were not on good terms.
In fact, he had once had a long conversation with Julian and asked him how he planned to deal with. Alexander after inheriting Parks Group.
Julian said her stepmother insisted on being a mistress even though she knew his father had a wife. He would not forgive that.
Alexander’s birth was not something he could choose. He was also considered innocent.
All these years, he had yearned for things he shouldn’t have. It was intolerable!
However, he had never done anything outrageous. Therefore, on account of their blood ties, he would completely control Alexander in the future and give him a fixed share of dividends every month.
Samuel was quite satisfied with Julian’s arrangement.
Humans were not saints. It was already very good that Julian could be so merciful.
“Samuel, I asked someone to buy us this Energizing Pill. I wish you a happy birthday and good health!” Abigail congratulated Old Mr. Parks generously.
Tony immediately took it, wanting to compare it with Annalise’s elixir pills.
Samuel was a little unwilling.
Julian said, “Grandpa, we won’t be afraid since what we give is real. Let’s compare whether they are real. Father is only concerned about your health.”
Samuel glanced at Julian. Seeing that Julian was calm, he took a pill and angrily handed it to Tony. “Take it and compare it.”
“Dad, let me do it,” Abigail smiled and volunteered.
This was a good opportunity for her to show off her medical skills.
When Tony heard that, he agreed. Abigail was a medical student. His medical skills were not bad either. He immediately handed two pills to Abigail and instructed, “Compare them well!”
“Alright.” Abigail smiled again.
She gently reached out and opened the rough packaging of a pill.
When she opened the packaging and smelled the intense medicinal fragrance, her expression turned gloomy This medicinal fragrance was rich and pure, similar to the smell of the pill she had bought. Moreover, the medicinal smell was even stronger.
She compared the color, and it was about the same.
No matter how one looked at it, it was a real Energizing Pill.
Her eyes flickered, panicked. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Is it real?” Tony asked impatiently.
Annalise looked at Abigail meaningfully.
Abigail was so angry. She did not expect that bitch Annalise to buy the real Energizing Pill.
Bah!
Annalise did not buy it.
It was apparent that Julian had the ability and luck to buy a jar of Energizing Pills.
No, she could not admit that Annalise’s Energizing Pill was real.
If she admitted that it was real, she would lose her reputation.
Annalise had given them a jar of Energizing Pills. She only presented one Energizing Pill. It would be a disgrace to her.
“What’s the result?” Tony asked again unhappily.
Abigail’s eyes flickered again. She said, “Dad, this jar of energizing Pills is fake.”
“Really?” Tony was finally happy.
He was going to chase Annalise out in front of everyone.
She was the first person who dared to challenge him and ask for 1.5 billion dollars.
Abigail nodded. “Yes, Anna might have bought a jar of fake Energizing Pills. You can’t blame Anna for this. After all, Anna isn’t a medical student, and her knowledge is limited. It’s normal for her to be deceived. It’s good enough that she sincerely cares about Samuel.”
She openly spoke up for Annalise, but in reality, she belittled Annalise. She was trying to tell everyone that Annalise did not know medicine and had never seen the world. So, Annalise would be deceived for sure.
