Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 103:

As soon as Balthasar finished speaking, all eyes turned to Marissa, filled with curiosity and concern. Landen was also intrigued. At Balthasar’s birthday party, he had thought Marissa was just boasting, but now it seemed she actually had the MindEase Elixir. Knowing it would be hard to believe any ordinary explanation, Marissa lied, “Connor gave it to me.”

“Mr. Connor Daniels?” Everyone found it hard to believe

“Tiffany, Mr. Connor Daniels does have access to such resources, but wouldn’t he rather give it to his grandma? And since Mr. Connor Daniels isn’t fond of you, why would he offer you something so precious?”

Marissa explained, “Here’s what happened. Connor had two A Pills. His grandma was inclined to share one with me, but Connor, who doesn’t like me, picked the less desirable one for me.” It was a reasonable scenario. Arabella’s affection for Tiffany might lead her to offer a MindEase Elixir. To avoid conflict with Arabella, Connor would likely hand over the less desirable pill to Tiffany. However..

“Tiffany, we heard that Dr. Riss only made one batch of the MindEase Elixir pills. How come Connor had two A Pills?”

Marissa responded, “Actually, that’s not true. Riss did make a second batch of MindEase Elixir pills later on, though it wasn’t made public. The second batch is far better-looking, even though the effects are identical.”

This new information clarified things for the Nash family members. Filled with remorse, Balthasar repeatedly sighed and said, “Why did I throw it away that day?” The other family members also sighed, mourning as though they had lost something invaluable. Marissa just smiled and kept quiet

Then, the butler said softly, “Mr. Nash, I didn’t throw that pill away.”

The room fell into stunned silence. Balthasar’s hands shook with excitement. “You didn’t? Where is it?”

“I’ll get it for you right now.”

“No need. I’ll get it myself!” Before the butler could react, Balthasar was already on his feet, charged with excitement, with the rest of the family trailing behind him. Feeling slightly embarrassed, the butler led the way to the storage area. The family followed closely behind. Marissa and Landen exchanged looks before joining the group

Arriving at the storage area, the butler pointed to a blue trash bin and explained, “Tiffany instructed that this bin shouldn’t be discarded that day. Worried something important might be inside, I decided to keep it here.”

The butler was about to search the trash can for the pill. However, Balthasar gently pushed him aside and began digging through the bin himself. The scene was so amusing that everyone remembered what Marissa had said at the birthday party: “Grandpa, don’t throw away that trash can. You might find yourself searching through it someday.” Yet, nobody laughed at Balthasar’s eagerness, understanding they would likely do the same in his shoes. What a prophecy!

Concerned Balthasar might injure himself, Sergio and Hannah quickly joined to assist him. Thankfully, the trash can only contained waste paper. After they emptied it, they soon found a simple small wooden box. Balthasar held the small wooden box in his hand, opened the lid, and smiled happily at the treasure he had lost and regained

“Mr. Nash, congratulations on recovering this treasure. With the MindEase Elixir, here’s to many more years!” the butler said. Sure enough, Balthasar’s smile grew even wider. He waved his hand and said, “I’m doubling your salary!”

“Thank you, Mr. Nash!” The butler couldn’t hide his delight. With the wooden box securely in hand, Balthasar said to Marissa with a smile, “Tiffany, join me in the study. I have something to tell you about your sister.” This was precisely why Marissa had returned. She followed Balthasar upstairs
