Each Foundation Establishment Pill sold is worth a fortune, and in Luofeng City, it’s so rare that it causes a sensation.
Just this single jade bottle contains as many as five Foundation Establishment Pills—a huge fortune, almost priceless.
Owen Brooks looked at the people from The Harris Family in surprise and suspicion, not expecting them to deliver such precious Foundation Establishment Pills.
Such generosity would be painful even for the The Brooks Family, let alone the The Harris Family. Why would they suddenly present such a substantial gift?
It was probably to reconcile the relationship between the two families, and also because they understood the importance of the Clear Spirit Pill, so they offered five Foundation Establishment Pills as compensation.
Olivia Harris gave a sweet smile, her pure yet charming beauty captivating, drawing the attention of many young members of the The Brooks Family. She said, “Uncle Qian, these five Foundation Establishment Pills are an apology gift from our The Harris Family to the The Brooks Family. Please accept them.”
On the side, several other elders of the family had their eyes shining. With these Foundation Establishment Pills, their grandchildren would greatly benefit—they could rebuild their foundations and achieve even greater accomplishments in the future.
And with as many as five pills, it was far better than just a single Clear Spirit Pill. More people could establish their foundations, especially their grandchildren.
Owen Brooks frowned slightly. Although he wanted to avenge his son, as the head of the family and clan, he also had to consider the family’s interests. The value of five Foundation Establishment Pills was undeniably significant.
But were these five Foundation Establishment Pills really just a simple apology?
As he hesitated, Ethan Brooks pushed the door open and entered.
“Father, Mother, your son is here.” After bowing to his parents seated at the main seat, Ethan Brooks walked into the hall with Grace. A servant had already brought a chair next to Emily Carter, and he sat down without hesitation.
Everyone present turned their eyes to this uninvited guest—contempt, suspicion, ridicule, surprise—every emotion was there, but Ethan Brooks appeared calm, sitting beside his mother.
The people from The Harris Family showed a change in expression upon seeing Ethan Brooks. That handsome young man with a mole at the corner of his right eye was named James Harris, an outstanding member of this generation of the The Harris Family. His gaze was filled with disdain and arrogance, looking down on Ethan Brooks.
In contrast, when Olivia Harris saw Ethan Brooks, a flash of disgust appeared deep in her limpid eyes, but she quickly hid it and regained her composure. Her pure yet slightly charming face suddenly showed sadness and self-blame: “I’m sorry, Ethan Brooks, I didn’t mean it. Please forgive me for hurting you and give me another chance.”
Such a pitiful appearance—who could remain unmoved? In the past, Ethan Brooks had fallen for it many times.
Ethan Brooks smiled indifferently, “It’s nothing, I don’t mind.”
But to others, it seemed that Ethan Brooks had once again fallen under Olivia Harris’s spell. A younger member of the The Brooks Family couldn’t help but sneer, “What’s wrong, Ethan Brooks, do you still want to pursue Miss Olivia Harris? Wasn’t your previous humiliation enough?”
Ethan Brooks’s suicide for love had long become a huge joke in the entire The Brooks Family. Now, whenever it was mentioned, it was to mock Ethan Brooks.
The other elders and high-ranking members of the The Brooks Family looked on coldly. They despised Ethan Brooks’s suicide for love the most, especially since he was now a cripple. If he weren’t the family head’s son, he would have been kicked out long ago.
Owen Brooks was furious, his fists clenched tightly, but as the family head, he couldn’t say much. Ethan Brooks’s mother and Grace wanted to speak up for him, but constrained by the rules, they dared not. Ethan Brooks remained silent, which others took as tacit acceptance and avoidance.
Because every time Ethan Brooks had been insulted and scolded as a cripple before, he had always been silent and avoided confrontation.
The current scene was exactly the same as in the past.
Thus, James Harris’s gaze toward Ethan Brooks was filled with even more disdain and contempt.
A cold sneer flashed deep in Olivia Harris’s eyes. She also thought that this boy who had once tried to kill himself for her had fallen for her again. But when she looked at Ethan Brooks’s face, his expression was calm and unruffled from beginning to end, without the usual timidity and cowardice—more like… indifference!
Is this real? Olivia Harris was slightly surprised. She felt that the boy before her was different from before—not avoiding, but truly indifferent, which caught her attention.
Ethan Brooks’s face remained unchanged, his eyes always calm. He smiled at Owen Brooks on the main seat and said, “Father, may I take a look at the Foundation Establishment Pills?”
Before Owen Brooks could speak, three elders spoke up, scolding, “Ethan Brooks, don’t mess around. These Foundation Establishment Pills from the The Harris Family are very important to our The Brooks Family. What if you damage them?”
“Ethan Brooks, you cripple, if you can’t cultivate, don’t touch things at random. If you break them, it won’t just be half a month of confinement—even your father won’t be able to protect you.”
The younger members of the The Brooks Family mocked him with ridicule, not caring that the guests from the The Harris Family were still present.
Emily Carter and Grace by his side wanted to speak up for Ethan Brooks, but facing the three domineering elders, they only moved their lips and dared not say a word.
