Chapter 350 The Expensive Ginseng
Freddie glanced at the box of ginseng, his whole body trembling in astonishment.
“Mr. Bruce, my mother couldn’t afford it! This is an exorbitantly priced ginseng!”
Freddie’s words immediately attracted many curious glances.
“What kind of ginseng could sell for a sky–high price?”
“Isn’t that too exaggerated?”
“Looking at that ginseng, it was only a few dozen grams.”
“You bumpkin, how could you measure top–grade ginseng by its weight!”

Listening to the surrounding people’s heated discussions, Barry and Conway subconsciously examined this inconspicuous little wooden
box.
“Uh, isn’t this the wild ginseng that was auctioned off for ten million dollars at the Northeast Estya auction last year!”
Freddie’s hands trembled as he handed the ginseng to Robin, “Mr. Bruce, this is too valuable…”
Robin patted his shoulder, “It’s for your mother, not for you. Why are you so nervous?”
Freddie still didn’t dare to accept it, “Mr. Bruce, my mother is not

worthy of using such a precious supplement, I…”
Robin shook his head, “I heard that during your toughest time, the year. when Glory Edifice was about to collapse, your mother sold all her jewelry and properties to pay off your debts.”
“Moreover, despite her old age and frailty, she secretly went out to wash clothes for others, worked as a nanny, washed dishes in restaurants to earn money, helping you get through that period.”
“How could such a great mother not be worthy of this ginseng?”
“In this world, all people are equal. The only thing that can distinguish the nobility and baseness of a person is their character.”
“Take it, and treat your mother well.”
Freddie held the ginseng in his trembling hands.
This strong man, tears swirling in his eyes at this very moment, bowed deeply to Robin, “Thank you, Mr. Bruce!”
Robyn watched Robin’s retreating figure, shaking her head bitterly, filled with extreme regret.
Such a good man, how could I have missed him forever!
Marilyn had never imagined that the unassuming ginseng could actually be worth ten million!
Ten million dollars!
This was a number she had never dared to dream of in her lifetime!
Originally, that ginseng was a gift from Karina to her!
After a brief shock, Marilyn suddenly started up on the spot, darted to
Robin in a stride, “Robin, wait a moment.”
Robin halted, looking up at the radiant Marilyn, “Is there something?”
Marilyn, panting, said, “Robin, could you give me back that box of ginsong”
Robin paused for a moment, then gave a faint smile. “I remember asking you before if you wanted it, but you despised it for being a fake. a rotten free root, afraid it would harm your precious body. So, I had no choice but to give it to Mr. Strickland’s mother”
“The gill that was given away, there’s no reason to ask for it back.”
“Robin, don’t waste any more time here. We haven’t even eaten yet. let’s go have some barbecue quickly.” Karina, linking arms with Robin. turned and headed towards the exit of the hotel.
“Ah, that Ms. Huber, Robin, I hadn’t finished speaking.” Marilyn ran
after them.
“Mr. Strickland wasn’t short of money, so you could have let him return the ginseng to me…”
Karsyn blocked Marilyn’s way. “Enough, save some face for yourself! Stop bothering Mr. Bruce and Ms. Huber!”
“Move away!” Marilyn glared at Karsyn, “I heard them say you’re just a little assistant, what right do you have to boss me around?”
“That ginseng was originally given to me by Robin, why wouldn’t I
want it?”
“Give me a break!” Karsyn sneered, “Didn’t you say it was junk from a rotten tree root stall?”
“Now I hear people saying it’s a treasure worth tens of millions, and

you want it again. Who do you think

didn’t
“Think about it yourself. with your behavior and status, were you even worthy of receiving gifts from Mr. Bruce and Ms. Huber?”
“Have some shame! Stop following me!”
Karsyn was about to turn around when she saw Madeline coming from behind. She pointed at her and said, “Oh, right, you need to handle the installment repayment procedure for the company’s three hundred thousand loan tomorrow.”
