The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 521

Everyone here today was a prominent figure in Crestwood, and quite a few worked in the medical field.

They’d already shown keen interest in the NecroBlitz Tablets; if they could learn even a handful of the ingredients used to make them, most of these people would be too excited to sleep tonight.

Now, the whole crowd leaned in, waiting for Kali to speak.

Three minutes ticked by, but Kali remained silent.

Suddenly, Citrine let out a cold laugh and deliberately called her out, “Ms. Glenwood, it’s been three minutes. Why are you still quiet?”

Before Kali could respond, Citrine pressed on, “This is your own research, isn’t it? Don’t tell me you don’t even know what went into your own pills?”

This wretched woman.

Kali had stolen the pills from Scales—how could she possibly know what ingredients went into making them?

Her face went pale as she glared daggers at Citrine, snapping, “Who says I don’t know?”

“Then go ahead. Tell us,” Citrine replied, her tone indifferent.

Kali’s eyes darted around, panic rising inside her.

She forced herself to answer, “These NecroBlitz Tablets are incredibly rare. Why would I just hand over the ingredient list?”

At that moment, Citrine glanced up toward the second floor, where Sebastian was seated. She offered him a slight smile and said, “You don’t have to tell me, but surely you should tell President Vesper. After all, he just paid eight hundred million for that pill.”

“Why would I tell him?” Kali blurted in confusion, not understanding Citrine’s point.

With that, people began to eye Kali a little differently.

Anyone who worked in medicine, or who had regularly participated in auctions for rare pharmaceuticals, knew the protocol: to avoid complications—and to ensure the product’s safety—once the auction ended, the creator was required to provide the buyer with a detailed list of all ingredients and their proportions.

Kali realized, too late, that the mood in the room had shifted.
