Chapter 33:
Sansa deliberately asked Marissa about her gift, aiming to embarrass her. With Ayla’s impressive present, Marissa was bound to
be overshadowed, regardless of what she had brought for Balthasar. If her gift was mediocre, it would only lead to disdain and
ridicule from the Nash family
Unexpectedly, Marissa claimed she had secured a MindEase Elixir, the A Pill! Everyone was initially stunned, then they scoffed
in disbelief. They couldn’t imagine it being true. Who could possibly obtain Dr. Riss’ A Pill? Certainly not someone like Tiffany,
whom they deemed a failure. They wondered how she could manage to present such a rare gift. Surely her husband, Connor,
could obtain such an item, but he would likely reserve it for Arabella, not for Tiffany’s birthday gift. Moreover, it was obvious that
Connor didn’t love Tiffany. They had seen her shabby motorcycle and simple attire at the party, and Connor wasn’t even present.
The crowd surmised that Tiffany claimed this out of jealousy towards Ayla and was attempting to overshadow her. With this
thought, they regarded Marissa with even greater disdain. If not for her father Brian, who had been a pillar of the Nash family,
she might have already been ousted. Even Balthasar, the family’s revered elder, glared at Marissa, disappointed in what he
considered a waste of his eldest son’s excellent genes
Sansa observed the crowd’s reactions and smirked sarcastically. “Tiffany, our family values the sentiment behind gifts rather than
their monetary value. However, lying to compete with others isn’t acceptable.”
Ayla had told so many lies and was now pretending to be generous. “Let’s be patient with Tiffany. She’s eager to earn Grandpa’s
affection and approval, perhaps too eager. It’s possible she was misled into buying a fake. Please, don’t mock her.”

The others began to comment sarcastically. “Ayla truly is a sensible young woman. She shows great patience with her cousin.
This is the mark of a true heir.”
“With her poised to apprentice under Riss, we can feel confident about her leading the Nash family in the future.”
“We once thought Tiffany would lead the family, being Brian’s daughter and presumably inheriting his talents to further our
legacy. Unfortunately, she’s been nothing but a disappointment since her childhood!”
Listening to their words, Sansa felt even more complacent. She had consistently undermined Tiffany to pave the way for Ayla’s
ascension as the family’s future leader. Today, Sansa felt closer than ever to realizing that goal. If Ayla secured an
apprenticeship with Riss, her succession as the family leader would be almost guaranteed. However, despite Ayla’s current
advantage, they couldn’t afford to overlook Tiffany completely. As Brian’s daughter, there was always a chance she might rise to
prominence unexpectedly
After all, Tiffany had been the butt of their jokes and seen as a lost cause, but then she had unexpectedly married Connor, which
was a harsh setback for Sansa. It was the best alarm. Sansa knew she could not afford to be careless and give Tiffany any
opportunities
With this in mind, Sansa said, “Tiffany, you claim to have brought the A Pill. Well, let’s see it then!”
“Okay.” Marissa smiled and retrieved a small wooden box, opening it for all to see
