Chapter 720 I’m Here To Listen To The Story
The place suddenly fell silent.
Someone beside them, who didn’t understand what Nora meant, kindly explained, “Ms. Smith, Mrs. Hunt is saying that no one can imitate the essence of Orchidiance’s skill, not yours…”
She paused abruptly at this point. Only then did she finally realize something and she exclaimed, “Y-you are Orchidiance?”
Nora glanced at her and said nothing.
Iris lifted her chin and looked at her proudly. “That’s right, my daughter-in-law is Orchidiance.”
In an instant, it raised a huge furor in the entire exhibition. Everyone looked at Nora in astoundment. “Not only is she Dr. Zabe’s disciple, but also Anti the surgeon. I’m actually not surprised at all to hear that she’s also Orchidiance… Ms. Smith’s medical skills are truly amazing!”
“Oh my god, as it turns out, Orchidiance has always been right by our side. Isn’t she supposed to be staying abroad?”
“I heard that Ms. Smith only came back from overseas a few months ago…”
“Yes, now that you mention it, all the facts line up.”
!!
“
Amid everyone’s speculations, Lauren bit her lip tightly. She still couldn’t believe it, but she also knew that there was no need for someone like Nora to impersonate someone else.
After all, even if she was not Orchidiance, she was already popular enough in New York.
Nevertheless, she felt that she couldn’t admit defeat just like that, so she said, “Ms. Smith, since you are Orchidiance, then you should have known that the prescription given to the orchid was wrong from the moment you entered the exhibition. Why didn’t you bring it up and save the orchid then? Instead, you had to wait until it started withering to show off your medical skills? How much do you think the Ghost Orchids have suffered as a result?”
Nora: “?”
Iris sneered and stepped right in front of Nora. She said sharply, “Lauren, you’re being unreasonable. Didn’t my daughter-in-law already say so just now? What can we do when you refuse to admit that your prescription is wrong? Besides, my daughter-in-law has said that the flowers can still be saved!”
Lauren bit her lip. “But I didn’t know that Ms. Smith is Orchidiance. If I had known, I definitely would have agreed to it. I get it now, the two of you just wanted to use that to make a bet with me… so that I would admit my mistake. But why bother doing something like that? Wouldn’t you ruin Matthew’s Ghost Orchids by doing that? Iris, if you hate me, then you can just come at me. You are also an orchid lover, how can you treat a pot of Ghost Orchids like this?”
Her fallacious and heretic arguments surprisingly sounded like they made sense at first.
If Nora had revealed her identity the moment she entered the hall, would they have stopped her from treating the orchids? Did she have to wait until the orchids became like this to highlight her abilities?
They were clearly using that pot of orchids to slap Lauren in the face, and also to make the bet with her!
Everyone looked at Iris and Nora.
Even Matthew, who clearly knew that he couldn’t blame the two of them-after all, he still had to rely on Orchidiance for help if he wanted to save the Ghost Orchids-couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable about the situation.
He didn’t like Lauren, because not only did she use the Ghost Orchids to threaten him into selling the Jade Orchids to her, but she even forced him to put his pot of Ghost Orchids on display in the exhibition.
He’d initially thought that Iris was different from her, but he didn’t expect her to actually turn out to be the same type of person in the end.
Matthew sighed. Even the way he looked at Iris had changed a little. An orchid lover beside him couldn’t help but say, “Mrs. Hunt… Everyone here is a flower lover, is there a need to do something like that?”
“Yeah, how can you make that pot of Ghost Orchids suffer such calamity just to vent your anger on someone? Even if it’s cured, it probably won’t be able to return to its former glory, right?”
“Lauren is not an orchid lover anyway, and was just using them to show off. We all despise her in our hearts, but Mdm. Iris, you are not supposed to be someone like that!”
Everyone was reproaching her softly, and their voices were so low that one couldn’t tell who was the one speaking. After all, no one dared to openly offend Iris.
There was, however, a straightforward person who stepped forward. She pointed at Iris and sighed. “Mdm. Iris, you have always been a fairy-like person all these years, and your love for orchids is also a role model among our peers. All these years, how many potted flowers have you saved from the hands of people who have no love for flowers? Why have you lowered yourself so much that you would fight with someone like her?! And for the sake of fighting, you even used a pot of Ghost Orchids to vent your anger! Sigh!”
Lauren’s countenance alternated between being pale and being sullen as she listened to the remarks.
She’d originally thought that everyone would see her in a different light after she came to the orchid exhibition, but little did she expect that they had never thought highly of her before!
They must have been polite to her only because they were afraid that if they offended her, they wouldn’t have anyone to ask for help when their orchids fell sick, right?
So, now that they knew that Nora was Orchidiance, and knew that her medical skills were not as good as hers, they were starting to voice their real thoughts?
When Lauren saw everyone attacking Iris, she secretly felt very happy.
What kind of person was Iris?
One must know that Iris had been a beauty who was equally famous as Yvette in New York back then.
Yvette owed part of her fame to her looks and the other part to her talent. After all, her amazing talent and brilliance had indeed shocked and astounded many.
But Iris was different.
When one spoke of her, everyone would only marvel at and admire her for her beauty and her ethereal character. She was just like a celestial maiden. Anyone who had seen her wouldn’t be able to describe her negatively.
She was lively and cheerful.
Her voice was as beautiful and pleasant as a bird’s.
Her nimble movements made her look even more like a celestial maiden from the heavens.
Therefore, when Herman and Iris divorced, out of everyone in New York, half of the men had insulted Herman and called him blind while the other half was secretly happy that their goddess was single once more.
In addition, Iris wasn’t fond of disputes. Unlike Yvette, who had made enemies everywhere and become the women’s imaginary enemy, she had a good personality. Moreover, she was simply so beautiful and on top of that, her beauty was not the aggressive kind. Even women were amazed by her beauty. No one would be jealous of her beauty; instead, they would only want to defend and protect her beauty.
But hadn’t she brought Iris down from her exalted position all the same?
In order to fight Iris, she had ended up being criticized by others. When she thought of it that way, Lauren felt a sense of accomplishment again.
She could work with this, too!
At the very least, not everyone would be biased towards Iris anymore whenever the two of them were mentioned.
While she was thinking about it, Nora said, “You’ve misunderstood Aunt Iris.”
She took a step forward and spoke to Matthew. She said, “When I told Aunt Iris yesterday that there was a problem with the prescription, she had wanted to contact you right away. I was the one who stopped her.”
