Sienna couldn’t be bothered to look at Mason anymore. She arched a brow and sent a sidelong look at Mia and Amanda.

Her red lips curled into a mocking smile, sarcasm dripping from every word. “Jealous of her?”

Her chilly voice wasn’t loud, yet everyone in the room heard it clearly.

Her gaze oozed disdain and ridicule. “Jealous of her for treating leftover pill scraps as precious treasures? Bidding ridiculously high prices at auctions?”

Sienna let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “Jealous of her cluelessness?”

“You’re talking nonsense.” Amanda fired back, eyes red and nearly in tears, voice shaky with anger and humiliation.

She’d poured so much money into that Wellness Powder, treating it like her most prized possession, convinced it was some kind of magic remedy.

She couldn’t believe that it was just worthless leftovers from making pills.

This was a hundred times more humiliating than getting slapped in the face.

Amanda looked at Sienna, feeling wronged. “Dr. C made that Wellness Powder. It’s all about keeping you healthy and energized. People are paying insane prices for it these days. There’s no way something like that is just leftover scraps.”

Plus, she went to a world–famous auction house.

No way would they sell anything fake there.

Amanda bit her lip, her pale face growing even more aggrieved. “Sienna, the family gave you enough cash to buy a real gift. Just because your bottle of… whatever supplement that was, couldn’t compare to Dr. C’s Wellness Powder, doesn’t mean you should disrespect him.”

She put on a caring look, like she was thinking about Sienna’s best interests. “Dr. C’s reputation is untouchable, Sienna. Just let it go, okay?”

Every word was a dig, painting Sienna as a selfish, stingy girl who was totally out of her league here.

The family had handed her loads of cash, but she wouldn’t spend a single cent on a proper present.

She looked every bit like some petty country girl who’d never set foot in the big city.

Sienna let out a mocking laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “You guys really know how to kiss up to Dr. C. Does he even know how much you’re worshipping him?”

Amanda’s face turned bright red, embarrassed and defensive. “Seriously, that’s not kissing up. I’m just stating the facts. I flew all the way to Vuscad to join a world–class auction and managed to bid for this tiny bottle of

Wellness Powder. Dr. C’s reputation is legendary. There’s no way he’d ever put random leftovers up for

auction.”

Sienna shot Amanda a sideways glance, a smirk tugging at her lips. “So, tell me, how do you think that Wellness Powder ended up on the international auction stage?”

Amanda stammered, her lips trembling. “I mean… it’s because Dr. C’s name is famous around the world…”

Sienna snorted. “Yeah, right. It’s actually just the scraps left from making real pills. Tossing them would be wasteful, so they grind it all up, slap it in a bottle as ‘Wellness Powder, and ship it overseas.”

The Wellness Powder did have efficacy, If taken according to the correct method, it could indeed achieve the effects of consolidating the foundation, nourishing, the essence, and maintaining health.

Long–term use would show more obvious effects.

It was more than enough to trick those gullible foreigners.

Amanda instantly caught Sienna’s meaning, and her face went ghostly pale.

“You were the only Aurathenese at that auction. Don’t you get it?” Sienna looked at Amanda as if she were an idiot. “Only a fool like you would be led by a few shills raising the price, foolishly following the bid three times.

“Do you know how the people who sent the Wellness Powder overseas laughed at you? And you’re here, feeling pleased with yourself. It’s so stupid.”

Amanda’s face drained of color, then her cheeks burned with shame, embarrassment flooding over her.

She stared at Sienna, eyes wide in absolute disbelief.

‘How could Sienna possibly know what went down at the auction? Even the whole bidding three times before that final dramatic bid?‘ Amanda wondered.

When Amanda was bidding for that Wellness Powder, Sienna hadn’t even returned home yet.

She was still tangled up at the Fairbank family, dealing with all sorts of drama.

How could Sienna possibly know all those details about an auction all the way over in Vuscad?‘ Amanda thought.

It was almost like Sienna had been right there herself, watching every moment unfold.

Amanda couldn’t shake the uneasiness.

Back at that Vuscad auction, she’d felt like a big shot, tossing cash left and right, catching jealous glances from all those foreigners.

But when Sienna talked about it now, her act of spending a fortune to curry favor with Sherwood became foolishness.

Mia saw Amanda all flustered, and even though she’d lost her attitude, she still snarked quietly, “A country bumpkin from the sticks, an academic failure who didn’t even finish high school, actually dares to boast and question Dr. C!”

Sienna was done arguing with them. She raised her brow and simply glanced over at the bowl of broth left out, now cold and totally unappealing.

“If you’re all so sure this is some miracle tonic that’ll restore your health, go ahead and drink it. At least Amanda’s efforts won’t go to waste,” Sienna said.

Mia froze, her eyes glued to that bowl of broth–now cloudy, with a funky, almost gamey smell wafting off it.

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, a sense of dread creeping into her chest.

Sienna’s words kept echoing in her head.

Sienna had warned that the Wellness Powder was used incorrectly; when simmered into broth, it became poison.

And it was just leftover scraps from pill–making.

Even though Mia didn’t buy a single word Sienna said, she still couldn’t shake off that nagging sense of unease creeping in.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you guys tripping over yourselves to worship Dr. C just a minute ago? But now you’re too scared to drink it?” Sienna sneered. “If you don’t even dare to take a sip, you actually think it’s fit for Sherwood?”

“Who says I’m scared?” Mia naturally couldn’t be overshadowed by Sienna, this country bumpkin, nor could she admit that she had actually listened to her words.

She stubbornly lifted her chin. “Watch me. I’ll drink it right now. I’ll show you what a real miracle tonic is.”

With that, Mia strode over and snatched up the bowl of broth.

Amanda’s face shifted in a flash. She reached out instinctively to block Mia.
