?Chapter 83:


    A suddenly lost control, her hands clutching her hair as she screamed without restraint. Only moments before, she had radiated pride, basking in the ttery andpliments as Dr. Riss’s prospective disciple. Now, she resembled a madwoman, tearing at her hair and scratching her face until it bled


    A woman often considers her face the most prized feature, yet A appeared oblivious to the crimson marks disfiguring her face. The fall from grace into utter disgrace was a burden too heavy for many to bear. A understood the grave implications if Riss’s team used her of peddling counterfeit medicine. Buying medicine from the ck market was illegal to begin with, and with no proof of her purchase, she couldn’t trace the seller or exin the origin of the counterfeit D Pill of MindEase Elixir. It would be presumed she had crafted it herself. Were it a lesser drug, the consequences might not be as severe. Yet, her involvement with the D Pill of MindEase Elixir, a product worth tens of millions and linked to the influential Riss, magnified the stakes. A charge from Riss’s team would shatter her life


    A’s outburst threw the hall into chaos. Organizers, striving to restore order, quickly summoned security. It required several guards to subdue her. Even as she was restrained on the floor, A continued unabated, gasping and alternating betweenughter and curses, stunning the onlookers


    Marissa observed the scene with detached coldness. After a brief pause, she gave Ferris a nod. Taking her cue, Ferris approached A and looked down at her with a mocking smirk. “Miss A Nash, you must face the consequences if you’ve broken thew. Feigning madness will not aid your cause.”


    Feigning?


    gα?ησν????s??оm, where stories thrive


    The crowd gaped at A, who abruptly ceased her antics. A had not anticipated Ferris’s relentless pursuit even in her current sorry state


    “Oh dear, that truly frightened me,” someone murmured. “I thought she had lost her mind, but it seems it was all an act. How astonishing!”


    “Tomit such bold crimes and then feign insanity upon capture, she discards even the basic dignity of a person. It’s clear now, her noble air was merely a facade!”


    “And what of the Nash family? They chose her as their representative. Clearly, they are bereft of reputable members. The prestigious medical legacy established by Dr. Brian Nash is nearly destroyed by their actions. They seem capable of nothing but underhanded schemes.”


    “It might be best for the Nash family to simply leave Blebert. Staying here, they face nothing but daily ridicule. What a disgrace!”


    As the crowd’s jeers continued, each word seemed to strike the Nash family like a physical blow. Balthasar trembled with rage, and the rest of the Nash family members turned pale, wishing for a ce to vanish. Their earlier grandeur had now flipped into excruciating humiliation. They all wished they could tear A apart for bringing such shame upon them. As the family endured the public’s scorn, they shrank back. Even Rex, the head of the family, furrowed his brows in silence


    Only Landen stepped forward, raising his voice to address the crowd. “Yes, our family has produced two disgraceful members, making us the butt of jokes. We will address these issues internally,” Landen dered. “I ask that you do not judge our entire family by these failures. Led by my uncle, Dr. Brian Nash, our family was once at the forefront of Blebert’s medicalmunity. Despite recent setbacks, we remainmitted to his legacy and to making meaningful contributions to medicine.”


    As he spoke, Landen’s sharp gaze swept over the crowd. “We will not shield anyone who tarnishes our family’s name. Justice will take its course. Should anyone attempt to smear the Nash family over this incident, they will face my wrath!”


    “p! p! p!” Promptly, someone began pping vigorously for Landen, endorsing his firm stance
