Chapter 69 A Slap In The Face
He came to attend Old Mr. Parks’s birthday party today because he wanted to meet Annalise in person.
Even if they couldn’t be a couple, they could still be friends. After all, she was the Jones family’s benefactor. If Julian was unwilling to cherish his wife, Alan did not mind that she had been married to Julian. He would. snatch Annalise from Julian.
In his opinion, genuine appreciation and liking were more important than anything else.
Since Annalise gave Old Mr. Parks a congratulatory gift, he had been paying attention to every move there. When he heard Tony telling her to get lost, he was anxious.
His fists clenched, and he gradually loosened them. He kept taking deep breaths to suppress the urge in his heart.
Annalise was Julian’s wife. If Julian didn’t protect her, he would protect her. He felt relationships had to have rules, measures, and duties.
When he saw Julian protecting her, he felt both sad for himself and happy for Annalise.
Tony was still emphasizing that the elixir pills were fake. Alan couldn’t take it anymore. So, he called the Jones family’s private doctor to help Annalise.
Today, he would help Annalise teach those ignorant people a lesson.
When Samuel saw the Jones family’s private doctor coming over, he immediately handed the jar to the doctor. “Thank you.”
The Jones family’s private doctor immediately took the jar politely with both hands.
He sniffed it and took out another elixir pill. He peeled off the paper and looked at the elixir pill. Then, he sniffed it and said firmly, “This is a real Energizing Pill. It’s real!”
That was a shocking turn. Buzz-
Everyone was shocked.
Tony could not believe his ears.
Abigail felt so ashamed that her face was burning. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Then, she heard a mock. “Pfft, hahaha, I can’t take it anymore. This is hilarious. Medical student. Hahaha, doctors can’t tell if an elixir pill is real or fake. Her father sent her to school, yet she must be thinking about. dating every day.”
She subconsciously turned her head and wanted to glare back, but she realized that the woman was Sybil. Alexander had introduced Sybil to her and told her not to provoke Sybil.
Sybil was the apple of Jadeborough’s second wealthiest man’s eye and was difficult to deal with.
As soon as Sybil spoke, many people mocked along.
“Everyone says that Julian is blind to marrying an incompetent woman. I think Alexander is the blind one. He married a woman who talks nonsense.”
“Not only did she spout nonsense, but she’s also mean. She clearly wants Annalise to make a fool of himself. She’s a scourge.”
They continued mocking.
Alexander also heard these comments. He was very unhappy, but he maintained a calm smile on his face.
Her mother said that no matter what environment a person was in, they had to have protective colors. Smiling was the best protective color.
Life was long. It was inevitable that there would be times when one was down and out or awkward. One would be looked up to as long as one maintained a calm smile.
Tony thought about seeing Annalise brewing the medicine with his own eyes that night. He still did not believe that this jar of Energizing Pills was real. He said, “Sir, take a good look. Maybe you have mistaken.” Abigail immediately reached out and tugged at Tony’s clothes.
They had already embarrassed themselves enough. They could not continue to worsen the situation.
If no one at the scene knew how to appraise it, they could still insist it was fake. Now that a famous doctor was present, they had to end this topic quickly.
Tony reacted after being pulled. He frowned deeply and held back his anger.
He suddenly hated Abigail too.
Abigail also came from a small county. She had long discovered that the jar of pills was real. How dare she lie to him and make him embarrass himself in front of so many people?
When the Jones family’s private doctor heard Tony’s words, he said seriously, “Mr. Parks, this elixir pill is indeed the real thing. My life is worth it. This is the first time I’ve seen so many Energizing Pills.”
The young people quickly settled the bet upon hearing that it was real.
Those who lost the bet cursed and scolded Abigail for being an idiot. How dare such a woman claim to know medicine?
Those who won the bet praised Annalise for being lucky and made them rich. They praised Julian for being capable.
The older people paid attention to different things.
Those were Energizing Pills! A jar of Energizing Pills! What kind of existence was this?
You couldn’t buy it even if you had money.
They were certain it was Julian who had bought it.
Their gazes toward Julian became even more envious.
In the past, they admired Julian’s ability and felt he would surpass them.
They thought even more highly of him when they saw that Julian could buy a jar of Energizing Pills.
As a result, they found Annalise more pleasing to the eye now. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Abigail could not stand the scolding anymore. She gritted her teeth, adjusted her emotions, and said, “Anna, I’m sorry. I saw it wrongly. However, where did you get this jar of elixir pills? If it’s not especially difficult, I believe many people will want to buy it. After all, it’s inevitable for people to get sick. With such elixir pills, people will live healthier lives. Anna, don’t hide it.”
Toward the end, she smiled and tried to show her magnanimity and bearing.
She thought she couldn’t embarrass herself alone, but she had to embarrass Annalise. Annalise couldn’t explain it, so she could only admit that Julian had helped her buy it.
If Annalise didn’t even prepare the birthday gift for Samuel herself, how was Annalise better than her? Although she only had one Energizing Pill, she had prepared it herself.
When everyone heard Abigail’s question, they looked at Annalise.
Even though they had already guessed that it was the pill prepared by Julian, they still looked forward to hearing a different answer.
Annalise looked at Abigail meaningfully. His gaze seemed to be saying, “I’m going to disappoint you again.”
She said generously, “I didn’t buy these elixir pills.”
Everyone was even more curious.
She added, “Someone had given it to me by chance.”
“That’s impossible!” Abigail’s voice was sharp.
Seeing everyone looking at her strangely, she immediately explained awkwardly, “I mean, no one would give away such a precious thing.”
Annalise was shameless. There were at least a dozen Energizing Pills in the entire jar. She dared to boast shamelessly that someone had given it to her. How shameless was she?
Everyone also felt that it was impossible and waited for Annalise to continue.
Annalise said, “An old mar gave it to me. He fell on the road at that time. I wanted to help him, but he told me not to. He kept pointing in a direction and shouting, medicine, medicine.
“Then, I saw a medicine bottle not far away. I immediately picked it up and fed him the medicine according to his instructions. He quickly recovered, took this jar from his arms, and gave it to me. He said that these Energizing Pills were not bad. He said I could give them to the elders in my family.”
There was no need for Annalise to continue. Most people believed her.
Especially the few elders in the banquet.
They sighed. “It is fate, after all!”
“I’m afraid it’s Elder Quigley, the medical expert. Only he has these elixir pills.”
“Yeah, it can only be him.”
Annalise thought, “Joseph, I’m sorry for using you again. I’ll make sure I do anything you ask for when I visit you the next time.”
