Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Doubted

Upon hearing Tony’s words, more people’s eyes flashed with curiosity.

There was a good show to watch!

They wondered what was in the jar.

Anyway, looking at the jar, it was small and old.

Thinking about it, it made sense. What kind of gift could a woman from the countryside like Annalise afford?

Initially, they thought Julian would help cover her. They did not expect that Julian would let this woman fool around.

Samuel glared at Tony sternly. “Whatever my granddaughter-in-law gave me, I’m happy.”

He felt that Julian was a little unreliable this time.

Before the birthday banquet, he even specially instructed Julian to prepare a gift for Annalise to bring. They had to make it through no matter what and not embarrass Annalise at the birthday banquet.

Julian told him not to worry. He said that the gift had been prepared by Annalise personally. The gift was good enough. Whoever dared to find fault would make a fool out of oneself.

He didn’t even dare to open this old jar.

Hearing his father’s words, Tony was even more confident that there was nothing good in the jar. Otherwise, Samuel would not need to cover up for Annalise.

He also knew that as Julian’s father, he would also be embarrassed if Annalise made a fool of himself in public.

However, he hated Annalise. As long as he embarrassed Annalise publicly, Julian might consider divorcing her after losing his reputation. Tony felt that it didn’t matter if he lost his reputation once. After all, the pros outweighed the cons.

Thinking of this, he said, “Dad, open it and take a look. You have opened everyone else’s gift. Everyone is curious.”

Samuel glared at Tony again. He wished he could retort, “Curious my ass!”

With so many people present, he could only smile and say, “It’s a gift from my obedient granddaughter- in-law. I don’t want to share my joy of opening it with everyone.”

“Samuel, it’s your birthday today. Everyone is here to join the merry. Let’s show everyone,” Julian said.

Old Mr. Parks looked at Julian in dissatisfaction. He thought to himself, “You’re the one who didn’t do your job well. Why are you still causing trouble?”

When he lifted his head, he was surprised to see Julian’s confident expression.

Julian nodded.

Samuel was even more surprised. He knew how reliable his grandson was. There was no reason for him to embarrass Annalise in public.

He looked at Annalise again and saw her calm expression.

He glared at Tony and said, “Open it and take a look then.”

As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the small jar.

Immediately, a fresh medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Samuel was even more surprised. He looked at Annalise. “What is this?”

“Samuel, this is the Energizing Pill,” Annalise explained. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Samuel was stunned. “Energizing Pill?”

Was it what he thought? Did she know someone who knew how to make elixir pills? Did such an expert teach her medical skills?

When the people around them heard the word “Energizing Pill”, they immediately gossiped.

“Pfft, Energizing Pill? What the hell?”

“I heard that old traditional medicine practitioner, who was especially awesome in the past, knew how to make elixir pills. Therefore, some aristocratic families also kept such pills. I’ve heard of some Energizing Pill and Longevity Pill.”

“How can a village woman like her have such a rare thing?”

“Sigh, of course, either this thing is fake, or Julian got it to help her.”

“With just one box, even Julian doesn’t have this ability, right?”

“Indeed, this kind of thing is priceless stuff. Even if it were Mr. Parks, it’s impossible for him to buy a jar of this. It would have sold out long ago if it were on the market. How is it possible for them to keep it until now?”

Abigail held the exquisite bottle in his hand and frowned.

Alexander looked at Abigail.

Abigail’s eyebrows knitted. She lowered her voice and said, “Even if it’s your brother, Julian, he wouldn’t have the ability to buy an entire jar of Energizing Pills, right?”

Alexander squinted his eyes and said, “Indeed. If he could buy a can of this kind of thing, he wouldn’t have waited until now to buy it.”

Samuel’s body was so weak. If he could buy such an elixir pill, he would have purchased it long ago.

Not only Julian, but he had also asked around. Not only did he ask famous doctors, but he also looked for the elixir pills everywhere.

After asking around, he discovered that the Xander family and the Smith family indeed had elixir pills that had been passed down by generations, but they only had a few.

The Xander family had already used it for Old Mr. Xander two years ago because of his poor health. The Smith family still had one left, but they weren’t selling it. They were saving it for an emergency purpose.

If Annalise’s gift was an Energizing Pill, he believed it might be true.

Indeed, Julian was very capable. It was likely that he had convinced the Smith family to sell him or give him the remaining pill.

However, this entire jar was impossible!

“In other words, the elixir pills are fake?” Abigail asked Alexander,

“Yes,” Alexander was certain.

Abigail smiled. “It’ll be easier if it’s fake.”

Alexander looked at Abigail.

Abigail said, “We’ll know once we compare them.”

Seeing the bottle in Abigail’s hand, Alexander lifted his eyebrows and smiled.

What a coincidence!

Coincidentally, Abigail also bought Samuel an Energizing Pill. It was Annalise who had placed herself in such a situation.

There was no need for them to be polite.

He smiled and said, “Abbie, it’s up to you in a while. There’s no hurry. Wait for the others to question it first.”

“Okay,” Abigail answered with a smile. She was waiting to watch a good show.

Tony was stunned by the words “Energizing Pill”.

Immediately after, he saw the paper containing the pills in the small jar.

This paper was exceptionally familiar.

He immediately remembered. Wasn’t this the paper wrapping the herbal medicine that night in the kitchen of the bungalow?

So, he realized Annalise made the Energizing Pill herself that night.

She just boiled a jar of herbal medicine, added something to it, and rubbed it into a ball, and she thought she could make the Energizing Pills?

If she could make elixir pills like this, everyone would know how to make elixir pills. What a joke! He immediately said, “Dad, I have never seen elixir pills wrapped in this kind of paper and jar.”

After saying that, he took the opportunity to reprimand Annalise. “We don’t ask much from you kids on Samuel’s eightieth birthday. You don’t have to give expensive gifts. Samuel has already said that the gift. should be sincere as it’s a token of appreciation.

“You came from a poor family and can’t afford to buy a gift. Even folding a paper crane for Samuel is considered a token of your sincerity. Yet you are faking things to gain attention. What are you thinking? “It’s fine if it’s medicinal ingredients and it works. If it’s not, are you trying to kill Samuel?”

“What are you saying?” Samuel looked at Tony sternly. “Annalise is now married to Julian. They’re legally married. Even if the wedding is still in preparation, she’s Mrs. Parks. Why doesn’t she have the money to buy a gift? Half of Julian’s assets are hers.”

The birthday banquet was held to let everyone get to know Annalise. He revealed Annalise’s identity. She had registered her marriage with Julian and was already preparing for the wedding.

Tony immediately retorted, “Even if they were married, Julian’s assets are his premarital assets.”
