Chapter 61
Annelise stood there, tall and poised, a cool glint in her eyes. “That’s right, it’s Cordyceps. When storing Cordyceps, you should avoid strong light and keep the temperature below 20 degrees Celsius. It’s 24 degrees in here, with strong UV exposure. I put it in my bag to protect its medicinal value. Don’t tell me the Kendrick family doesn’t even know this basic medical fact?”
The moment she said it.
The room was instantly filled with chatter!
Herbert was still sneering, “What nonsense are you-”
“Herbert, shut up!”
Rosalie yelled.
Herbert froze, turning his head to look at his aunt’s expression.
Then he looked at the stares from everyone around him.
Instantly, panic showed on his face.
Could what that damn girl said be true?
“Hahaha, truly a student taught by Isabella. She has a certain knack for identifying herbal remedies.”
The one laughing was the Patriarch of the Young Clan, Angel Baker. He had been huddled in a corner with his eyes half-closed, looking like any ordinary old man. Now, he lifted his eyelids slightly and gestured to his male heir, Cole- man, “You should learn from her.”
Coleman had a humble posture and elegant demeanor, “Yes, Grandfather.”
Marilyn, however, said casually, “You’re exaggerating, Angel. She was just being clever.”
“Ex-exactly!”
Herbert quickly latched onto the excuse, “I just wasn’t thinking along those lines. That little brat really knows how to exploit a loophole!”
Marilyn’s comment alone would have been the perfect way to end it.
Now, with Herbert adding that sentence, it just proved how stupid he was. Some people couldn’t help but start laugh- ing.
Rosalie wished she could run up and cover her nephew’s mouth!

Chapter 61
Herbert still didn’t get it. The laughter grated on him more and more, and he suddenly glared, “Who is it? Who has the guts to laugh in my face!”
“I did-” Colton raised his hand, his dashing aura undiminished.
Herbert froze again. A Winthrop… from the Winthrop family… then he…
But unexpectedly, Colton didn’t even glance at him. He walked past him and stopped in front of Annelise.
“The Winthrop family prepared these modest gifts in the hope that everyone would enjoy themselves.”
Colton spoke clearly, “When no one took them, I thought perhaps you all looked down on what the Winthrop family has to offer.”
“Well…”
At that, everyone except Annelise wanted to explain themselves!
Colton gestured downwards with his palm, “But it doesn’t matter. Someone likes them.
And I must thank this young lady for reminding me about the proper way to store Cordyceps.”
It’s a shame Grandfather won’t come down.
It would be great for him to meet such an interesting young woman.
I wonder who Grandfather is waiting for.
Annelise replied with composure, “You’re too kind, Mr. Winthrop. A doctor’s instinct.”
“A fine ‘doctor’s instinct’!”
Colton liked the young woman’s attitude. “The Winthrop family has invited you all here today for two reasons. First, for a medical exchange, and second, for my frail and sickly third brother.”
Colton said, his eyes sweeping over the crowd, “It’s getting late, so I won’t delay you any longer. Let’s see who has real skill in the examination room!”>
“What do you mean?”
Joel asked. Are we really going to treat patients?
