Chapter 172 Who Says It's Fake?
Larry had no intention of explaining anything because he thought there was nothing to explain.
But without an explanation, the Martin family became even more convinced that the herbs were fake.
Chloe was besieged by the elders of the Martin family, who said all kinds of unpleasant things.
Maria also felt embarrassed. In her view, Chloe giving fake goods was all because of Larry's instigation. She stepped forward and scolded, "Larry, why did you encourage Chloe to give fake goods?"
As Maria spoke, she slapped Larry.
Larry instinctively dodged and explained, "Mom, what are you talking about? If others don't believe Chloe, don't you believe her either?"
"Mom, stop it," Chloe also quickly pulled Maria back.
Cassian stepped forward. "Grandma, it shouldn't be fake, right?"
Last night, he had seen Caius from the Martinez family beg Chloe. He thought a person with such great power wouldn't give fake goods.
The young people of the Martin family who were present at last night's dinner all spoke up for Chloe.
"You don't understand, why are you meddling?" an elder spoke, and the young people instantly fell silent.
"Chloe." Kian stepped forward. He glanced at the herbs on the table and said, "I've seen a lot of precious herbs, and these are obviously fake, synthetic. Chloe, where did you get these herbs? Were you deceived?"
With Kian's words, the Martin family was convinced that the herbs were fake. Because in the Martin family, Kian was the wealthiest and most knowledgeable. If he said they were fake, then they were fake.
"These should be real..." Cassian hadn't finished his sentence when he saw Kian's look and immediately shut his mouth, swallowing the rest of his words.
"The herbs are real. They were given to me by Lucy from Pillar Pharmacy." Facing the family's doubts, Chloe felt unhappy. She had kindly given priceless herbs to Solene to make her happy, but instead, she was accused of giving fake goods.
"Chloe, who do you think you are?"
"You bought a failing company and now think you're a big shot?"
"You're giving away billions of dollars worth of stuff just like that?"
Chloe's relatives kept criticizing her, even Maria joined in scolding Larry.
Larry said nothing, quietly walked to the side, took out his phone, and called Grim Reaper, "Lucy is in Neon City, right? Have her come to the Martin residence to authenticate the herbs."
Grim Reaper, also known as Matthew, received Larry's call and didn't dare delay. He quickly called Lucy.
Matthew didn't expect that Lucy had already investigated Chloe's visit to Neon City yesterday and learned that she was there to celebrate Solene's birthday.
Matthew valued Chloe very much, so Lucy thought she'd take the opportunity to get to know Chloe.
When Matthew called her, she was already near the Martin residence. "Authenticate the herbs? The Martins are calling the herbs fake?"
Lucy was stunned. Then she said, "Grandpa, I'm almost at the Martin residence. I'll be there soon."
After hanging up, she instructed the driver to speed up. A few minutes later, she appeared at the Martin residence.
In the courtyard, the whole family surrounded Chloe, accusing her of giving fake goods.
Solene also looked displeased. Giving fake goods was bad enough, but Chloe not admitting to it made Solene even more disappointed.
"Alright, everyone stop arguing," Solene spoke.
The crowd finally fell silent.
Solene suddenly pushed the herbs on the table to the ground and sternly scolded, "Chloe, take your fake goods and leave. And Maria, go home and teach your daughter better, don't embarrass us again."
"Yes, Mom." Maria didn't dare say another word. She turned around, glared at Larry, and angrily said, "What are you standing there for? Haven't you embarrassed us enough? Hurry up and leave!"
"Who said these are fake?" At that moment, a voice was heard.
Everyone turned to look. A tall, elegant woman in a white dress walked in.
Everyone was stunned, wondering who she was.
Rowan stood up to greet her and asked, "Who are you?"
The newcomer was Lucy. She looked at the herbs that had been pushed to the ground and walked over to pick them up. "I am Lucy Rogers, granddaughter of Matthew Rogers from Sunset City and the head of Pillar Pharmacy. These are indeed herbs from Pillar Pharmacy, which I gave to Chloe. These herbs are worth at least 150 million dollars. Are you saying they are fake?"
She looked at everyone. There were dozens of people present, but nobody said a word. They wondered why the head of Pillar Pharmacy would appear at the Martin residence.
Larry was also slightly stunned to see Lucy, thinking, 'I have just made the call, and she is already here. How can she be so fast? Can she fly?'
Lucy walked up to Chloe, a smile on her beautiful face, and called out, "Chloe."
"Lucy," Chloe also called out. She hadn't expected Lucy to appear at the Martin residence.
With Lucy's explanation, the Martin family members all shut their mouths, looking at each other, but no one spoke.
Solene stood up, puzzled. "Are you really Dr. Rogers' granddaughter?"
She glanced at Cassian. "Cassian, didn't you go to Sunset City to see Dr. Rogers? Is this his granddaughter?"
Cassian looked embarrassed. He had never met Dr. Rogers, nor did he know his granddaughter. But he was sure this was Dr. Rogers' granddaughter and the head of Pillar Pharmacy. He nodded, "Yes."
"Lucy." Kian stepped forward, extending his hand with a smile. "I'm Kian Martin, chairman of ZenithQuest Solutions."
Lucy glanced at him but said nothing.
Kian looked embarrassed.
"Are these real herbs?" Even Kian confirmed Lucy's identity, so Solene exclaimed, looking at the herbs with joy on her face.
At this moment, Sam stepped forward and said to the family, "I told you a long time ago that what Chloe gave was real, but you didn't believe it and even scolded her. Apologize to her now."
Solene scolded, "What are you waiting for? Apologize."
The Martins then began to speak up.
"Chloe, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"Chloe, I misunderstood you. I hope you don't take it to heart."
"Chloe, it was a misunderstanding."
Chloe waved her hand slightly and said, "It's understandable that you didn't believe it. After all, these herbs are priceless."
After resolving the matter, Lucy also took out a prepared gift for Solene. They were all priceless herbs, very beneficial for the body.
Solene was so happy she couldn't stop smiling. Finally, Lucy took out a card and handed it over. "Mrs. Martin, this is a VIP card from Pillar Pharmacy. With this VIP card, you won't need to make an appointment to see Dr. Rogers. He has only given out about ten of these VIP cards."
Upon hearing this, the Martins were thrilled. A VIP card from Pillar Pharmacy was a priceless gift.
Lucy smiled at Chloe, greeted her, and then left. She had delivered her gift and saw no need to stay longer.
After she left, the Martins were still immersed in the excitement of Lucy's gift.
"What a lively scene." Less than ten minutes after Lucy left, a sarcastic voice was heard.
Everyone turned to look, and Percival appeared outside the Martin residence with over a hundred people.
