James did not intend to explain anything.
There was nothing to explain.
Seeing that James was not explaining, the Hills were more convinced the King of Ginseng was fake.
The Hills’ members besieged Thea, and all kinds of nasty words were thrown at her.
Gladys was ashamed.
They could have gifted anything. Why did they have to present something fake?
From her perspective, Thea definitely brought a counterfeit product because of James.
She stood up and scolded, “What is your problem, James? Why did you make Thea bring a counterfeit product?”
Gladys swung her arm at James.
James instinctively dodged it and explained, “Mom, that’s nonsense. Even if the others don’t believe Thea, how can you not trust her?”
“Mom, stop it.” Thea promptly pulled Gladys away.
Cyrus stepped forward. “Grandma, elders. This probably isn’t fake.”
Last night, he had witnessed the head of the Xenoses kneeling to Thea.
How could such an influential person present a counterfeit product?
The youngsters that were present at the scene last night all began to speak up for Thea.
“You youngsters don’t understand anything. Why are you interrupting?”
An elder reprimanded them, and they immediately stopped talking.
“Thea.”
Cyrus’ father, also Jedidiah’s youngest son, Rigoberto, stepped forward.
He glanced at the ginseng placed on the table and said, “I’ve seen countless valuable medicinal materials. It’s obvious at first glance that this ginseng is not real. It’s synthetic. Where did you get this ginseng from, Thea? Have you been deceived?”
Since Rigoberto had spoken, everyone was sure that it was fake.
Rigoberto was the richest and wisest one in the Hills.
If he said it was fake, then it must be.
“Dad, this should be real…”
Before Cyrus could finish speaking, Rigoberto glared at him. He swallowed the rest of his words and immediately shut his mouth.
“The King of Ginseng is real. Christine Fallon gave it to me at Herbal Biotech.”
Faced with the family’s doubts, Thea was saddened.
She generously gifted her grandma invaluable ginseng to make her happy. Instead, they were accusing her of bringing a fake gift.
