Chapter 67
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement.
âSheâs just an ordinary woman who married at a young age.â These words kept echoing in Millieâs ears.
âI almost believed your bullshit. I thought that Ms. Lowellâs Snowdrop was fake!â
âYou should get out of here with your rose!â
The crowd became restless again and mocked Millie mercilessly.
Each sentence of theirs was like a boulder weighing on her chest, making her suffocate.
She had backed down because she didnât want Selma to be upset, but it became grounds for the
others to hurt her even more.
Since that was the case, she would prove to them whose Snowdrop was the real one!
Millie took the identification device from Marvin. Amidst the mockery of the crowd, she scanned the Snowdrop she had brought.
âMills!â Selma called out to her, her eyes filled with worry.
The crowd was still discussing among themselves when a crisp automated female voice from the device declared, âThe item is identified as Snowdrop. Itâs a topâgrade and rare medicinal material. Thereâs only one in this world, and the value is immeasurable.â
Because it was noisy, many people didnât hear the results of the identification device.
Looking at the crowdâs judgemental faces, Millie scanned her Snowdrop again.
The automated female voice sounded again. âThe item is identified as Snowdrop. Itâs a topâgrade and rare medicinal material. Thereâs only one in this world, and the value is immeasurable.â
Millie pressed the repeat button.
The device did as it was told. âThe item is identified as Snowdrop. Itâs a topâgradeâ¦â
âThe item is identified as Snowdrop. Itâs a topâgradeâ¦
âThe item is identified as Snowdrop. Itâs a topâgradeâ¦
All of a sudden, the venue fell silent.
Joannaâs expression turned dark immediately, and her heart skipped a beat.
Millieâs Snowdrop was the real deal?
Not only was Joanna stunned, but so was the crowd.
âMills, your Snowdrop is real?â Gloria was dumbfounded.
Millie pressed the repeat button, and once again, the automated female voice could be heard. âThe
item is identified as Snowdrop. Itâs a topâgradeâ¦â

Millie didnât explain herself and let the results of the device speak for her. Did she even need to say that this was the real Snowdrop now?
Those who had been aggressive to her were silent right now.
âThenâ¦â Selma pointed at the Snowdrop that Joanna brought.
Without hesitation, Millie scanned the herb with the device.
In less than five seconds, the results were out. âThe item is identified as a lowâgrade herb. Its value is around two thousand dollars. Because it is damaged, the value is estimated to be around five hundred dollarsâ¦â
Everyone held their breath and tightened their grip on their wine glasses. It was fake. The Snowdrop that Joanna had brought was actually fake!
Millie raised her head and looked at the crowd. She asked, âDo you want to hear it again?â
The crowd kept quiet. Millie pressed on the repeat button a few more times. âThe item is identified as a lowâgrade herb. Its valueâ¦â
It was not an ordinary herb, but a lowâgrade one.
âThe Lowell family is really dedicated!â Millie looked at Joanna with a smile. âIs this the soâcalled birthday present that cost one billion dollars, prepared for Mrs. Greer Senior by the Lowell family?â
Everyone was stunned. Joanna had actually given a fake Snowdrop to Selma.
Joannaâs expression was grim, and she couldnât even breathe. She was finishedâ¦
Marvin smiled. Enjoying Joannaâs pale face, he took advantage of the situation and said, âThe Lowell family has long announced to the world that they had obtained the Snowdrop, but now, itâs been proven that itâs a fake. Arenât you just humiliating yourself? Or is it that you donât take Mrs. Greer Seniorâs birthday banquet seriously at all?â
