Chapter 721
In the end, right as the auction concluded, the bracelet was fastened onto
Anastasia’s wrist, drawing countless envious and jealous glances.
As Anastasia was admiring the bracelet, her arm linked with Harrison’s, a waiter suddenly approached. “Excuse me, who was it that won the bid for the prescription? Mr. Brown would like to see you.”
“That was me.” Anastasia let go of Harrison’s arm. “Hubby, I’ll be right back.”
Harrison nodded. “Go on.”
“Harrison, do you think Anastasia can handle it?”
Watching the girl’s departing figure, Harrison’s expression remained calm, but his tone held a quiet pride and trust.
“She can.”
Marcus immediately recalled events from their time in Fairhaven, and his brow smoothed out. “You’re right, I was overthinking it.”
Seeing that both of them were so confident in Anastasia, Barnett’s gaze shifted slightly, following the direction she had gone.
Mr. Brown was an old man with white hair and a beard, who carried the air of an otherworldly sage. He also looked like someone who was very difficult to get along with.
His gaze was sharp and critical, like a pair of knives, when he looked at people.
As soon as Anastasia stood before him, she was subjected to a thorough, head-to- toe inspection.
At the sight of her age, the old gentleman’s eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
“Didn’t you hear my condition clearly? Did you think I was joking? What’s a little girl like you doing here, causing trouble!”
“I meant what I said, so we have to follow the rules. Otherwise, I wouldn’t sell it for any amount of money! You can leave now!”
He waved his hand dismissively at Anastasia.
Anastasia smiled. “Sir, if I hadn’t understood your condition, I wouldn’t be here right now.”
Aubrey frowned at her, not bothering to hide the suspicion and disdain in his eyes. “You? Do you have any idea of the significance of the formulat put up? Do you
of the how difficult it
is to complete it?”
“Oh, so the renowned Mr. Brown is someone who judges a book by its cover?” Anastasia said coolly. “Whether I understand it or whether I can do it, won’t we know if we just try?”
“At the very least, I’m the one who won the bid, yet you won’t even give me a chance and have already dismissed my abilities.” TÊœe sourcá´‡ of thɪs content ɪs
“You may look down on me for my youth, but I look down on your judgmental attitude! Let’s just forget it. I’m leaving!”
With that, she turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.
Furious, Mr. Brown slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet, his white beard trembling. “You, stop right there! Fine, you complete it!”
Anastasia’s lips curved into a slight smile. When she turned back, her expression had completely changed. “Alright, then. Let’s see the formula!”
Seeing her demeanor, Mr. Brown was momentarily speechless. How could he not realize she had been provoking him on purpose!
The old man, with a sour look on his face, pulled out a sheet of paper and slapped it on the table. “There are three pages to the prescription in total. I’m only giving you one. If you can complete it, I’ll give you the other two. If you don’t have the ability, then all that money you spent will only be enough to buy this one page!”
Anastasia nodded. “Fine, I have no objections.”
She picked up the prescription from the table. “Do you have a pen and paper?”
Aubrey tossed a pen and a notebook
over, huffing coldly. “Such an arrogant young girl. Thinking you’re a master just because you hav little bit of skill Today I’ll teach you”
Before he could finish, Anastasia had already started writing.
Aubrey’s frown deepened in extreme disappointment. He was about to scold her when he caught sight of the first two medicinal names she had written on the paper.
Hm?!
The old man paused and leaned his head forward.
