NovelUSAChapter 85: When Balthasar posed the question, the eyes of the Nash family members sparkled, all turning to Marissa. Ferris had just revealed that the A Pill of MindEase Elixir had been bestowed upon someone. Could that person be Tiffany? If so, it would signify a significant connection between Tiffany and Dr. Riss. This revelation could mean that even if the family lost Ayla as their hopeful leader, they might still have Tiffany to rely on Marissa, foreseeing this inquiry from Balthasar, responded nonchalantly, "Oh, I found it by the roadside." The hall fell into stunned silence. Was there a more dismissive answer possible? Balthasar was momentarily lost for words. Marissa's response made it clear she wasn't going to divulge the truth, and he felt powerless to ask further. His mind drifted to the A Pill of MindEase Elixir that his granddaughter had given him but which he had discarded. It was probably decomposing in a landfill by now. After a brief pause, he tried again, this twith a softer approach. "Tiffany, please be serious. I'm trying to see if you can be trusted to lead our family." Sansa's eyes widened, but before she could interject, Rex quickly grasped her wrist, silencing her Marissa, however, responded with a scoff, "You're wondering if I have a connection with Dr. Riss, aren't you? I don't! I don't know Dr. Riss, and I have no interest in leading the family." Balthasar was taken aback by her frankness but managed to contain his frustration. He remembered how Tiffany had thoughtfully given him the A Pill of MindEase Elixir, a gesture of care from a granddaughter. How could he remain upset with her? Reflecting on his previous harshness towards her, he felt a mix of regret and guilt. Just then, Ferris cut in, "May I ask, are we done arguing?" LATEST chapters in glovel☐☐☐☐ The question from Ferris redirected the crowd's focus from the Nash family to him. Ferris continued, "Everyone, after reading the email from Miss Ayla Nash and discovering she had been producing and selling counterfeit medicine under her name, Dr. Riss was both angry and disappointed with Blebert's medical community. As a result, she won't be attending today." This news deflated the crowd, who had been eagerly anticipating Dr. Riss' appearance. Resentment toward Ayla intensified, with many feeling she had robbed them of a valuable opportunity. The gathering erupted into a chorus of mockery and insults, overwhelming Ayla to the point of tears and causing Sansa to nearly faint "Everyone, although Dr. Riss is not here, she has askedto make an announcement on her behalf," Ferris interjected, regaining the crowd's attention The hall quieted down, curiosity piqued. "Dr. Frazier, what does Dr. Riss want to announce?" someone called out. Hope lingered in the air as several attendees wondered if this might pertain to their applications to becRiss' disciple. Ferris scanned the audience, his gaze finally settling on Landen. With a smile, he announced, "Mr. Landen Nash, after reviewing your resume, Dr. Riss is very impressed. She sees great potential in you for the fields of medicine and pharmaceuticals. She is willing to accept you as her personal disciple to collaborate on medical research and further the advancement of medicine. Today, I am here to relay Dr. Riss' decision. We will organize a formal apprenticeship ceremony at a later date." Everyone turned to Landen, eyes filled with envy and surprise. Landen himself was so shocked that he stood gaping, unable to respond. The realization of what had just happened slowly sank in. Being chosen by Dr. Riss was a huge honor-one Landen had not fully anticipated. Overwhelmed by his good fortune, he didn't know what to do. Noticing his stunned silence, Marissa nudged him playfully. "What are you thinking? Hurry up and thank Dr. Frazier!" "Oh, okay," Landen managed to say, his voice still tinged with disbelief. However, instead of expressing his gratitude, he blurted out, "Dr. Frazier, are you sure you didn't get the nwrong? Is Dr. Riss really acceptingas her personal disciple?"
