Chapter 63

Logically, a rare saffron should be dry and red. So why does this one look a bit damp? This saffron looks just like the ordinary ones I see at the market. It’s really weird. Elizabeth wondered…

Elizabeth scoffed. So, Esme had been bragging about getting that rare saffron, but it turned out she just got a fake one. At such a grand birthday banquet, Lily cared a lot about her reputation. Where did Esme get the nerve to do this?! If she got exposed for bringing a fake, it wouldn’t just be the Russell family’s reputation at stake, but Lily’s as well. Bringing a fake one, how could Lily not be angry?

Meanwhile, the place buzzed with excitement.

“The Russell family is real something. We all fought over this rare saffron, but we just couldn’t beat the Russell family!”

“Exactly, I could have paid the billion-dollar price too, but I still didn’t get it because the Russell family has connections!”

“The Russell family truly lives up to being one of the four great families! Lily is so fortunate; this rare saffron will surely be very beneficial for her health.”

“The Russell family really put in the effort this time. It’s no wonder Lily changed her impression of them!”

A middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and flattered earnestly. “Lily, thanks to you, we all get to see the saffron! In this position, we probably wouldn’t see this rare saffron in our lifetime!”

Another nodded in agreement, saying, “Yes! We’ve been fighting over it for so long, and we didn’t even know what it looked like. Thanks to Lily’s generosity, we get to see it and broaden our horizons!”

“With Lily’s magnanimity, she will surely live a long and healthy life. Everyone agrees, right?”

Everyone nodded and clapped, continuously echoing their agreement. Lily smiled upon hearing this. She felt her reputation was greatly enhanced. She couldn’t help but glance at Esme, her tone softening a bit. “M. Rowell, thank you. Please convey my gratitude to your father.”

Essor smiled brightly. “Mrs. Lily, as long as you’re happy, it is all worthwhile.”

Lily looked at the saffron, touched it, and couldn’t hide her delight. She didn’t expect to actually get this rare saffron! Today’s birthday banquet was worthwhile.

Meanwhile, the live-streaming platforms were buzzing with discussions.

[Is this the only care sufru in the world? It doesn’t look like it!] [The Russell family is amazing, they really got this rare saffron! I heard it’s worth a billion dollars!] [The Russell family is so generous! They really went all out to make Lily happy! We can see it for free? Lily is so magnanimous!] [I heard the Tudor family and the Russell family had a feud. Now that the Russells have given this rare saffron, do they still have a feud? Haha!] [Lily is amable, probably because she broadened my horizons.] [Inside the scene, everyone was profusely praising Esme.] [Even Lily was no longer the main focus.] [Ms. Russell, can we have a meal together sometime?] [Ms. Russell, can we add each other on Facebook?] [Ms. Russell, you don’t have a boyfriend yet, right? How about we get to know each other?]

Esine, amidst the crowd, looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth was blocked outside the crowd, but they could still see each other through the gaps.
