?Chapter 33:


    Sansa deliberately asked Marissa about her gift, aiming to embarrass her. With A’s impressive present, Marissa was bound to be overshadowed, regardless of what she had brought for Balthasar. If her gift was mediocre, it would only lead to disdain and ridicule from the Nash family


    Unexpectedly, Marissa imed she had secured a MindEase Elixir, the A Pill! Everyone was initially stunned, then they scoffed in disbelief. They couldn’t imagine it being true. Who could possibly obtain Dr. Riss’ A Pill? Certainly not someone like Tiffany, whom they deemed a failure. They wondered how she could manage to present such a rare gift. Surely her husband, Connor, could obtain such an item, but he would likely reserve it for Arabe, not for Tiffany’s birthday gift. Moreover, it was obvious that Connor didn’t love Tiffany. They had seen her shabby motorcycle and simple attire at the party, and Connor wasn’t even present. How could he have provided such avish gift for her to give?


    The crowd surmised that Tiffany imed this out of jealousy towards A and was attempting to overshadow her. With this thought, they regarded Marissa with even greater disdain. If not for her father Brian, who had been a pir of the Nash family, she might have already been ousted. Even Balthasar, the family’s revered elder, red at Marissa, disappointed in what he considered a waste of his eldest son’s excellent genes


    Sansa observed the crowd’s reactions and smirked sarcastically. “Tiffany, our family values the sentiment behind gifts rather than their mary value. However, lying topete with others isn’t eptable.”


    A had told so many lies and was now pretending to be generous. “Let’s be patient with Tiffany. She’s eager to earn Grandpa’s affection and approval, perhaps too eager. It’s possible she was misled into buying a fake. Please, don’t mock her.”


    Your escape is on g ? ln σ ν?? ??s


    The others began toment sarcastically. “A truly is a sensible young woman. She shows great patience with her cousin. This is the mark of a true heir.”


    “With her poised to apprentice under Riss, we can feel confident about her leading the Nash family in the future.”


    “We once thought Tiffany would lead the family, being Brian’s daughter and presumably inheriting his talents to further our legacy. Unfortunately, she’s been nothing but a disappointment since her childhood!”


    Listening to their words, Sansa felt even morecent. She had consistently undermined Tiffany to pave the way for A’s ascension as the family’s future leader. Today, Sansa felt closer than ever to realizing that goal. If A secured an apprenticeship with Riss, her session as the family leader would be almost guaranteed. However, despite A’s current advantage, they couldn’t afford to overlook Tiffanypletely. As Brian’s daughter, there was always a chance she might rise to prominence unexpectedly


    After all, Tiffany had been the butt of their jokes and seen as a lost cause, but then she had unexpectedly married Connor, which was a harsh setback for Sansa. It was the best rm. Sansa knew she could not afford to be careless and give Tiffany any opportunities


    With this in mind, Sansa said, “Tiffany, you im to have brought the A Pill. Well, let’s see it then!”


    “Okay.” Marissa smiled and retrieved a small wooden box, opening it for all to see
