NovelUSAChapter 84: Landen was young and not a core member of the Nash family. Moreover, he hadn't made any notable achievements in the medical field, so no one took him seriously. This unassuming figure suddenly stepped up, making everyone feel a bit ridiculous. However, many had to admit that Landen's eyes had been full of a terrifying determination. Those who wanted to ridicule him held back their words. After he finished speaking, the hall fell unusually quiet. Then, applause broke the silence, capturing everyone's attention. They traced the sound to find Marissa applauding by herself If it had been Connor clapping, everyone would have taken it seriously. But Marissa's applause left people feeling ambivalent. Everyone knew her as a failure, yet she was married to Connor, the wealthiest man in the city, who did not care for her. Marissa was a contradictory and complex woman, and no one quite knew how to react to her behavior Of course, Marissa didn't care about what others thought. She applauded with genuine enthusiasm. She saw Landen as courageous and responsible, a man with promise Landen, too, was indifferent to others' opinions. Seeing Marissa applaud for him, he smiled at her and said, "Don't worry. The Nash family won't fall. You will always have us as your backer." With a faint smile, Marissa turned to Rex and said, "Uncle Rex, as the leader of the Nash family, you chose to remain silent when the family is facing trouble because of your daughter. It seems you should relinquish your position." Rex bowed his head in guilt. But Sansa, who had been silent on the floor for a while, suddenly reacted Hearing Marissa's words, she stood up abruptly, pointed at Marissa, and snapped, "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to the head of the Nash family in that manner? Don't forget, you are no longer a member of the Nash family!" "Oh, right," Marissa nodded, her smile unwavering. "I forgot I'm no longer a member of the Nash family. Well, letshare my thoughts as an outsider. The Nash family is a spectacle. The leader and his wife have failed to educate their daughter, turning the whole family into a laughingstock. In times of crisis, the head's wife throws tantrums while the head behaves like a coward. It's quite a sight. But there's still hope for the Nash family. This young man, Landen Nash, is brave, smart, and responsible. He's also handsome, presenting a good image. He's promising. It might be better to let him lead the family." Landen touched his nose awkwardly, unaccustomed to such praise. "Bah!" Sansa scoffed, lacking any grace. She pointed at Marissa and spat, "Keep your schemes to yourself. You think you can snatch the position of the family head? You're dreaming!" She glanced at Ayla, who lay subdued on the floor, and clenched her teeth in frustration. "I'm in my forties and can still bear another child. A useless man like Landen will never lead this family!" Marissa looked at Sansa's belly and laughed ironically. “Mrs. Nash, even if you have another baby now, it will take twenty years to raise them. I'm afraid the Nash family will go bankrupt before your second child grows up. By then, everyone in the family will be homeless." The words "bankrupt” and “homeless" struck a nerve with the Nash family members. Although Rex was amiable, he lacked the necessary skills and courage. Moreover, he was dominated by his wife Sansa in every aspect, which had led the family to its current decline. In such a state, if no one could step forward to turn things around, the Nash family was indeed on a fast track to bankruptcy. Balthasar understood this all too well but felt powerless to intervene. As his anxiety peaked, he suddenly remembered the A Pill of the MindEase Elixir. With a piercing gaze, he turned to Marissa and asked, "Tiffany, can you tellwhere you obtained the A Pill of the MindEase Elixir?"
