Chapter 350 The Expensive Ginseng

Freddie glanced at the box of ginseng, his whole body trembling in astonishment.

“Mr. Bruce, my mother couldn’t afford it! This is an exorbitantly priced ginseng!”

Freddie’s words immediately attracted many curious glances.

“What kind of ginseng could sell for a sky–high price?”

“Isn’t that too exaggerated?”

“Looking at that ginseng, it was only a few dozen grams.”

“You bumpkin, how could you measure top–grade ginseng by its weight!”

Listening to the surrounding people’s heated discussions, Barry and Conway subconsciously examined this inconspicuous little wooden

box.

“Uh, isn’t this the wild ginseng that was auctioned off for ten million dollars at the Northeast Estya auction last year!”

Freddie’s hands trembled as he handed the ginseng to Robin, “Mr. Bruce, this is too valuable…”

Robin patted his shoulder, “It’s for your mother, not for you. Why are you so nervous?”

Freddie still didn’t dare to accept it, “Mr. Bruce, my mother is not

worthy of using such a precious supplement, I…”

Robin shook his head, “I heard that during your toughest time, the year. when Glory Edifice was about to collapse, your mother sold all her jewelry and properties to pay off your debts.”

“Moreover, despite her old age and frailty, she secretly went out to wash clothes for others, worked as a nanny, washed dishes in restaurants to earn money, helping you get through that period.”

“How could such a great mother not be worthy of this ginseng?”

“In this world, all people are equal. The only thing that can distinguish the nobility and baseness of a person is their character.”

“Take it, and treat your mother well.”

Freddie held the ginseng in his trembling hands.

This strong man, tears swirling in his eyes at this very moment, bowed deeply to Robin, “Thank you, Mr. Bruce!”

Robyn watched Robin’s retreating figure, shaking her head bitterly, filled with extreme regret.

Such a good man, how could I have missed him forever!

Marilyn had never imagined that the unassuming ginseng could actually be worth ten million!

Ten million dollars!

This was a number she had never dared to dream of in her lifetime!

Originally, that ginseng was a gift from Karina to her!

After a brief shock, Marilyn suddenly started up on the spot, darted to

Robin in a stride, “Robin, wait a moment.”

Robin halted, looking up at the radiant Marilyn, “Is there something?”

Marilyn, panting, said, “Robin, could you give me back that box of ginsong”

Robin paused for a moment, then gave a faint smile. “I remember asking you before if you wanted it, but you despised it for being a fake. a rotten free root, afraid it would harm your precious body. So, I had no choice but to give it to Mr. Strickland’s mother”

“The gill that was given away, there’s no reason to ask for it back.”

“Robin, don’t waste any more time here. We haven’t even eaten yet. let’s go have some barbecue quickly.” Karina, linking arms with Robin. turned and headed towards the exit of the hotel.

“Ah, that Ms. Huber, Robin, I hadn’t finished speaking.” Marilyn ran

after them.

“Mr. Strickland wasn’t short of money, so you could have let him return the ginseng to me…”

Karsyn blocked Marilyn’s way. “Enough, save some face for yourself! Stop bothering Mr. Bruce and Ms. Huber!”

“Move away!” Marilyn glared at Karsyn, “I heard them say you’re just a little assistant, what right do you have to boss me around?”

“That ginseng was originally given to me by Robin, why wouldn’t I

want it?”

“Give me a break!” Karsyn sneered, “Didn’t you say it was junk from a rotten tree root stall?”

“Now I hear people saying it’s a treasure worth tens of millions, and

you want it again. Who do you think

“Mr. Bruce and Ms. Huber respected you as a mother, but you behave yourself?”

didn’t

“Think about it yourself. with your behavior and status, were you even worthy of receiving gifts from Mr. Bruce and Ms. Huber?”

“Have some shame! Stop following me!”

Karsyn was about to turn around when she saw Madeline coming from behind. She pointed at her and said, “Oh, right, you need to handle the installment repayment procedure for the company’s three hundred thousand loan tomorrow.”

“Starting from this month, 80% of your salary was deducted for repayment.”

Marilyn asked in confusion, “Ms. Huber is so rich, it’s just this little money. How could she be so stingy to ask us to pay it back?”

Karsyn ignored Marilyn, continuing. “Also, please vacate the house at Grace Apartments within three days!”

“House?” Marilyn pointed at Karsyn angrily, “You heartless rich bastards, it’s just a house, and you want it back, I… I’m going to sue you!”

Karsyn shook his head, scoffing coldly, “People like you, huh… Go ahead and tell!”

Madeline stood still, watching the retreating figures of Robin, Karina, and Karsyn, shaking her head bitterly. Tears streamed down her face as she knelt on the ground, “I’m sorry!”

Marilyn said angrily, “Madeline, they’re asking us to return the money and the house. What have you done to wrong them? These people are

all bad!”

Madeline shook her head wordlessly, her tears obscuring her entire world.

Manlyn stopped Freddie as he passed by: “You’re Mr. Strickland. aren’t you? That ginseng in your hand was given to me by Robin. You said it

to murself, your mother doesn’t deserve it. You should give it back

Freddie shook his head with a smile, ignoring her, and continued to walk forward.

“Wait a moment…” Marilyn was about to chase after him, but Felix slapped Nettie across the face, who fell down in front of her.

Felix roared, “You shameless woman, if it wasn’t for attending your niece’s family feast, I wouldn’t have been fired by Mr. Strickland! I’m divorcing you!”

Nettie grabbed Marilyn’s hair, “It’s all your fault! You ruined our family!”

Felix, Nettie, and Marilyn were fighting with each other….
