Chapter 163 False Accusation
Stella was protected by four powerful families: the Shaw, Cross, Moore, and Monroe clans.
Even Aaron, the man himself, had not doubted the pills. For Seraphina to attack Stella publicly just to embarrass her was pure stupidity. She was offending all four families at once.
“Don’t act like we’re close,” Elias warned sharply.
Seraphina had long bragged about being Elias‘ close childhood friend. Being humiliated in public left her frozen and embarrassed.
“I’m only worried about Mr. Cross‘ heart,” she said quickly. “If these aren’t real heart–saving pills, they could hurt him.”
The crowd murmured in agreement.
“Miss Shaw, I know you wanted to give Mr. Cross something he likes, but you can’t risk his life!”
Seraphina’s words painted Stella as someone careless and dangerous.
“How dare you assume these are fake? You slander my granddaughter without proof. Do you think the Shaw family is easy to push around?”
Before Stella could speak, Vincent stepped forward and took her hand, shielding her.
“You keep saying we gave fake medicine. Where is your proof? If you can’t prove it, you’re lying about my daughter,” Jasper said coldly.
‘Even Mr. Cross confirmed these are Master Celeste’s pills. Who are you to question him?” Sylvie frowned slightly. This woman likes Elias, so she’s dirtying Stella’s name. Does she really think the Shaw family has no one to stand up for Stella?
“These are the heart–saving pills made by Master Celeste. As the director of Azure General Hospital, I would certainly recognize them.” Leo glared at Seraphina, his eyes full of disdain.
“Leo…”
“Cut it out. Stella is the only one I stand by.”
Seraphina stared in shock. How did Leo get won over by that girl too?
“It’s a misunderstanding! Seraphina was just worried. She’s known Aaron since she was little,” Arthur explained quickly.
“Seraphina, these are real. I’m sure of it,” Aaron said. He regretted speaking up so publicly. He should have asked privately. Now everyone knew about his precious pills.
“Mr. Cross, I’ve been applying to be Master Celeste’s student. I know her rules. She never sells pills by the bottle,” Seraphina declared confidently.
Seraphina’s words made the crowd start to doubt.

After all, Seraphina was not stupid enough to humiliate herself in public.
“No! She gave fake pills?”
“You could give one real pill, but not fake ones–they could kill someone.”
“Stop talking! Do you want to get banned?”
“She’ll never get into the Cross family now. Trying to harm Mr. Aaron Cross? That’s unforgivable.
“What a waste. She’s talented and from a good family, perfect for Mr. Elias Cross. But she ruined her own chance just to show off.”
‘Be quiet. Mr. Aaron Cross and Mr. Leo Moore already confirmed it’s real.”
‘No one’s tested it yet. Who knows if it’s real? Maybe it just smells the same but is a cheap copy.”
Aaron was absolutely furious.
These people–he invited them to celebrate, and all they did was cause trouble.
‘Vincent, don’t be angry. These are the real heart–saving pills. I’ve taken them before. How could I not recognize them?”
Even though Aaron said this, many people still thought he was just saving face for both families.
Miss Shaw, I know you are the Prodigy Healer, and you know a little about medicine. But your field is linical care, not pharmacy. Even if you copied the appearance, fake is still fake.
When Master Celeste’s student arrives later, if they find out you copied and sold her pills, you could go to ail.”
Seraphina spoke earnestly, as if she were talking a criminal into turning herself in.
We can wait for her student to come. Today is Mr. Cross‘ birthday banquet, not a fraud investigation show,” Stella said.
Hearing this, Seraphina became even more certain that Stella was guilty.
She must think I don’t know Master Celeste’s student. But I do.
Stella, you’ve gone too far this time.
‘Stella, I believe you,” Aaron said.
Aaron was speechless.
If Arthur weren’t his old friend, he would have thrown Seraphina out already.
“Mr. Cross, I will replace the two broken bottles when I get home,” Stella said.
“You… you have more?”
