?Chapter 32:


    As soon as Marissa spoke, it felt as if she had torn a hole in fine silk. The once lively atmosphere suddenly turned cold. A’s expression shifted from guilt to smug arrogance


    After all, she was a graduate of Blebert University’s Medical School, which she considered far superior to Tiffany’s iplete high school education. If her own extensivework couldn’t uncover details about Dr. Riss, what chance did Tiffany have? A was convinced that Tiffany was merely trying to oppose her


    Thinking this, A scoffed, “Tiffany, with your limited medical knowledge andck of even a high school diploma, what credible sources could you possibly have about Dr. Riss?”


    As A finished, nods of agreement followed from around the hall. “Exactly, Dr. Riss is a figure of high repute. Only well-known medical professionals could know anything significant about him. Tiffany, you’re clearly just stirring up drama.”


    “Our Nash family holds a distinguished ce in the medicalmunity. Even if you’re not sessful, you shouldn’t embarrass us by creating scenes. A is a source of pride for our family; you ought to respect her and aspire to reach her level, instead of constantly trying to bring her down with your usations!”

    “Your actions are a letdown and reflect poorly on our younger members.” With her rtives backing her and criticizing Marissa, A grew even more confident. Sansa, eager for her daughter to outshine other family members, swelled with pride. Marissa shot a mocking nce at the mother-daughter pair and continued, “A, exactly how did you be acquainted with Dr. Riss?”


    The family’s attention turned to A. They were all intrigued about her connection with the elusive doctor. Many eminent professionals and wealthy tycoons struggled to even approach Dr. Riss


    Initially burdened by guilt, A now reveled in the unwarranted praise. She started to believe her own deceit, convincing herself of a close rtionship with Dr. Riss. So, she smiled and continued her fabrication confidently


    “As many of you know, Dr. Riss has announced ns to mentor a few personal disciples in Blebert to share his medical expertise. My ultimate goal is to be one of those disciples, so I sent my application to Dr. Riss’s email. I wasn’t very optimistic, as even aplished medical professionals often don’t receive a reply from him, much less a recent graduate like myself. However, to my surprise, Dr. Riss responded and agreed to meet with me. We had a productive discussion, and I took the chance to ask if I could purchase a MindEase Elixir. Dr. Riss consented to sell one to me. I initially hoped to buy the best one, the A Pill, for Grandpa, but sadly, only the D Pill was avable. The others had already been reserved for different uses.”


    A’s story was so rich with details that it left her family members in awe once again. “Unbelievable! Ever since Dr. Riss revealed his intention to take disciples, countless medical experts have applied, hoping to be chosen. Most receive no reply, but A not only got a response; she even met with him!”


    “This is fantastic news! Dr. Riss clearly sees something special in A to have treated her so generously. It seems almost certain that A will be Dr. Riss’s personal disciple!”


    “Wow, our Nash family might just have a new star after Brian! The future glory of our family seems assured, perhaps even surpassing the days of Brian’s prominence!”


    The family’s excitement grew. They viewed A as a beacon of hope for their n, nearly ready to ce her on a pedestal. Balthasar, too, was caught up in the enthusiasm, quickly inviting A to sit next to him. As the eldest member of the family and the former family patriarch, his position was unrivaled. Apart from histe wife, no one else, not even the current family head, Rex, was allowed to sit beside Balthasar. For A, a granddaughter, to be granted a seat next to Balthasar, overstepping many senior family members, was an incredible honor


    Amidst the celebration, A basked in the glow of her newfound glory. Then, suddenly, Sansa asked Marissa with a hint of sarcasm, “Tiffany, what gift have you prepared for your grandpa?”


    Marissa smiled and replied, “What a coincidence. I’ve also got a MindEase Elixir for Grandpa, the A Pill!”
