Chapter 33

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.
