Colton stepped forward.
The bodyguards in black all lined up, standing uniformly on either side of the old man.
The old man, who was faking his illness, still had a bandage on his head. He ripped it off, gave Annelise a meaningful look, and then turned to face the crowd!

“I heard your entire discussion from the examination room.”
The Patriarch stood as straight as a pine, his eyes like a fierce predator. “Silverleaf is number one. They’ve earned it.”
The Patriarch himself had spoken. Who would dare to argue?
Marilyn, who just moments ago was demanding to hear the diagnostic reasoning, deflated.
Rosalie had a forced smile on her face. “We didn’t realize it was you, sir…”

Ten years ago, when a major figure in Brookford had cancer, they were cured only after Paradise Pharma gifted them a stalk of Etherhart Herb.
Now, Paradise Pharma itself only has three stalks left as its most prized treasures.
And the Kendrick family somehow had the means to get one?
Never mind the others, even the Patriarch was slightly moved.
