?Chapter 79:


    Seeing Ferris, Balthasar quickly approached him with a smile and asked, “Dr. Frazier, is Dr. Riss here? I’d like to thank her personally.”


    “What would you like to thank Dr. Riss for?” Ferris asked with amusement


    “I have two reasons to be grateful. Firstly, for selling the D Pill of MindEase Elixir to my granddaughter at a discount. Secondly, for agreeing to take her on as an apprentice. The Nash family is truly honored by Dr. Riss’s support.”


    Ferris nced down at the MindEase Elixir in Balthasar’s hand, then raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is this the MindEase Elixir you’re talking about?”


    Balthasar and the others were taken aback by Ferris’s question. As Dr. Riss’s assistant, Ferris would have been familiar with all four pills of MindEase Elixir. Yet, his puzzled expression suggested he did not recognize the pill in Balthasar’s hand


    Sansa responded with an uneasy smile, “Dr. Frazier, this is indeed the D Pill of MindEase Elixir. Aren’t you familiar with it?”

    A gripped her purse strap, feeling nervous. She had acquired the pill from a dealer on the ck market, not directly from Dr. Riss as she had imed, but she was convinced it was the genuine D Pill of MindEase Elixir. She hadn’t corrected her family’s belief that the pill was bought from Dr. Riss, trusting that Riss would cover for her, considering the two hundred million dors she had pledged. In any case, she was destined to outshine all other doctors in Blebert. She had always cherished this ambition. But why did Ferris appear so puzzled upon seeing the pill? Could it be that she had been deceived by the drug dealer on the ck market?


    Just as A was wrestling with her doubts, Ferris said, “Mr. Nash, I’m sorry to say, but this is not the D Pill of MindEase Elixir made by Dr. Riss. It seems you have been cheated.”


    “What? This isn’t the D Pill of MindEase Elixir?” The crowd was stunned


    “That’s correct. This isn’t the MindEase Elixir,” Ferris reiterated firmly


    A felt dizzy and nearly passed out. As she feared, she had been duped by a ck market dealer. Ten million dors down the drain! Yet, this wasn’t the moment to fret over the money. She wondered why Ferris hadn’t just yed along for the sake of the two hundred million she was offering. Of course, she only allowed these thoughts to swirl in her mind, never voicing them aloud


    Sansa felt as if she had been physically struck. The smile on her face froze, and she grew anxious and uneasy. “Dr. Frazier, please examine it again. This pill was indeed sold to my daughter by Dr. Riss!”


    “Mrs. Nash, are you suggesting that Dr. Riss sold a fake pill to your daughter?” Ferris inquired, clearly displeased


    “No, that’s not what I meant.” Sansa was flustered


    Ferris looked at her and then turned to A, asking, “Miss Nash, could you tell us when you purchased this pill from Dr. Riss?”


    A’s face turned pale, her heart raced as she struggled toe up with a lie quickly enough. Seeing her daughter floundering, Sansa intervened to help. “A sent her resume to Dr. Riss, who was quite impressed with her. Dr. Riss responded by inviting A to dinner, where she sold her the D Pill of MindEase Elixir.”


    “Is that so?” Ferris smiled more meaningfully


    At the sight of Ferris’s expression, A felt the walls closing in and thought about making a quick exit, but she couldn’t bring herself to flee just then. Sansa was still defending her with lies. A almost wished she could silence her mother with a stick. But Sansa was focused on her exnation and didn’t notice A’s embarrassed face. As Ferris’s smile turned sarcastic, Sansa asked, “Dr. Frazier, why are you smiling like that? As Dr. Riss’s top assistant, aren’t you aware that your behavior could seriously mislead everyone here?”
