Chapter 24
“Sorry, what you just said was funny,” Cyrus said and chuckled.
The guests present were stunned.
This son–in–law didn’t even prepare a gift. How could he dare to laugh at his brother–in–law’s precious herbal medicine worth millions of dollars?
Zoey nudged Cyrus anxiously and said, “If you continue laughing. Il leave.”
“If you
don’t give me an explanation right now, I’ll break your legs!” Felix said, angry and embarrassed.
Cyrus stopped laughing and mocked, “It’s a shame that you’re still in the medicine business. You don’t
even know the basics of herbal medicine.
“Dragon White Herb must be fresh to ensure its magical medicinal benefits of detoxification. The sun-
dried defective product in your hand can’t even make a good cup of tea.”
“Nonsense! Are you even qualified to talk about herbal medicine?”
Felix had asked a friend to buy this from out of town for three million dollars!
“Once it’s exposed to the sun, white herb will turn black and moldy and become worthless,” Cyrus said. With your level of knowledge, if you take over the Clarke family’s business, it will probably go bankrupt within three years.”
“Damn you!”
How could Felix admit that he had been scammed in front of everyone present?
Looking at the nearly 200 guests from the medical field in the audience, Cyrus said loudly, “Some of you
here should know about Dragon White Herb.”
Everyone looked at Frederick. Out of everyone here, he was the most knowledgeable about herbal
medicine.
Mabel, who was sitting next to him, was nervous. She kept winking at him, signaling to him to give an
answer that would be favorable to Felix.
“Fred, we’ll all be a family once Felix marries Cecilia.”
Frederick remained silent, looking troubled.
Felix had had a crush on Cecilia, who was now a beautiful doctor, since childhood. The two families had
been discussing their marriage for a long time now. However, Cecilia had disagreed and kept delaying it.
Wallace was naturally dissatisfied with Cyrus‘ arrogant speech. He thought that Cyrus just wanted to
cause trouble.
He said, “Fred, everyone’s watching. There needs to be a result. Just speak fairly and make this brat stop.”
Frederick pushed his glasses up and said, “Ahem, Dragon White Herb grows in extremely cold places. It
does need to be fresh. After picking, it must be kept at a constant temperature of zero degrees to keep its medicinal effects from being lost”
Fred Mabel’s eyes were burning with rage
can’t lie about this kind of knowledge, Frederick said in distress.
Feeling ashamed, Felix turned red as he held the shriveled black thing in his hands.
Mabel quickly winked at the hostess, signaling to her to direct everyone’s attention toward Cyrus
The hostess asked loudly, “Mr. Johnson, you’ve been causing all kinds of trouble tonight So what gift did you prepare for your father–in–law?”
Seeing the elevator door open, Cyrus said, “Just in time. My gift is here.”
may ask.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a tall and mighty man holding an incubator, followed by two strong
men
They wore the traditional clothing of southern Gressland and had dark skin. It was apparent that were not from Jorsproburgh
The man handed the incubator to Cyrus respectfully and said, “Mr. Johnson, please check it
“Thank you. You may leave now,” Cyrus said
“Aight” the three of them replied in unison
The hostess asked in shock, “What’s this?”
“This thing is not worth mentioning. It’s just a medicine to treat my father–in–law’s legs,” Cyrus replied
“What? Do you want to heal Mr. Clarke’s legs?”
“Of course, and I’ll do it now so that he can entertain the guests himself
As soon as he finished speaking the crowd burst into an uproar
How was that possible? Wallace’s legs had been paralyzed for more than three years
Frederick quickly stood up and shouted, “Cyrus, stop being so insolent! Even I cant cure Wal
so don’t mess around”
“Do you want to kill my dad? Felix and Phoebe stood in front of Wallace “Zoey, take your trash husband away now. Don’t make a scene here!”
Zoey was also flustered. She grabbed Cyrus and said, “Let’s go
She just wanted to get through the evening peacefully without affecting her father’s birthday banquet. Unfortunately, Cyrus insisted on making a big fuss.
