Chapter 67 These Energizing Pills Are Fake
Samuel reprimanded Tony. “From when Julian married her, half of every dollar he earned was hers. Why? Is Julian an ordinary worker, so as his wife, doesn’t have money?”
Tony was speechless.
It was frustrating!
He said angrily, “Those elixir pills are fake!”
He had seen Annalise make them.
“It’s supposed to be a joyous day. Do you have to make things look nasty?” Samuel was also angry.
Tony pointed at the jar. “Dad, look at the rough packaging yourself. Do you think those elixir pills are real?” The surrounding onlookers gossiped about it even more intensely.
“Hey, do you think those pills are real or fake?”
“I think they are fake. Look at that paper. Although it looks rough, it’s not old at all. If they are elixir pills, they would be at least decades old. How can the wrapping paper be so new?”
“Fair enough.”
“But that jar looks so old. Why do I think they are real? I believe that Julian won’t mess around!”
“I also believe in Julian!”
“Why don’t we make a bet? Let’s bet on whether this jar of elixir pills is real or fake. Let’s not bet too much. How about two million dollars?”
“Okay, okay. I have nothing to do anyway.”
“Count me in. I bet the elixir pills in the jar are fake.”
“Count me in. I bet it’s fake too.”
“Haha, let’s calculate the odds. I’ll bet that it’s real. If the three of you bet on fakes, the odds will be 1 to 3.”
“Count me in. I’ll bet on it’s fake!”
All of them muttered.
More and more people joined the bet.
When Sybil heard everyone’s discussion, she was angry and rushed over. “Count me in. I’m betting on the pills. All those who are betting on fake pills, come and bet against me. I’ll pay for each elixir pill in that jar.” She trusted Julian that much.
Then, Lianne also joined the bet. “I also bet that the elixir pills are real.”
Samuel reprimanded Tony. “You’ve lived for dozens of years. Why don’t you understand that packaging isn’t important for anything? What’s important is the inside.”
His words had a double meaning.
Actually, even he did not dare to believe that it was a jar of Energizing Pills.
He knew too well that the elixir pill had miraculous effects and was extremely difficult to obtain. Even the aristocratic family, like the Parks family, only had one elixir pill passed down by generations.
There were at least a dozen of them in such a huge jar. It did not seem real.
However, regardless of whether it was true, he treated it as a gift from his granddaughter-in-law.
“Yes, you’re right. The packaging isn’t important. What’s important is the inside. The background isn’t important. What’s important is the character. Some people are not only greedy, but they also cheat. It’s really…”
“Enough! If I say these pills are real, they are real. The Parks family had an elixir pill passed down by our ancestors. How can I be wrong?” Samuel berated Tony.
Alexander saw that the time was right. He held Abigail’s hand and smiled. “It’s our turn.”
The two of them walked forward. Alexander smiled and said, “Dad, Grandpa, stop arguing. It just so happens
that Abbie’s birthday gift for Grandpa today is also an Energizing Pill. We’ll know if it’s real or fake after comparing.”
Tony immediately said, “Let’s compare them immediately.”
When they heard that Alexander’s wife was also presenting an Energizing Pill, everyone’s expressions became even more gossipy and playful. It was getting interesting!
They wondered who would be humiliated.
