The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1279

Even if the guests refused to believe Frank, a man from nowhere, Tet had a reputation to protect and had no reason to lie.

Even if he conspired with Frank and defended him, once the pill was sold and proved ineffective, his reputation as a magister would go up in smoke-it was simply not worth it.

As such, the only explanation for that was that he was speaking the truth.

But even as everyone was left gaping and speechless, Gene took the stage with perfect timing.

He walked up to Frank, clapping him on the shoulder as everyone looked on in shock, speaking quietly, "By the way, I forgot to mention something this man, Frank Lawrence, is a healer who practices Draconian traditional medicine. He also saved me from the brink, curing me from my sickly self and allowing me to strut once more!"

"What?!"

Both Hugh and Dennis were dumbstruck, with Dennis still on his knees.

Their faces turned pale even as they stared at Frank and Gene, while Gene continued, "As such, I swear by my honor as I vouch for Mr. Lawrence's pill! Anyone else could be lying if they claimed their pill extends your lifespan by ten years, but if Mr. Lawrence says it, I believe him beyond the shadow of a doubt!"

"Yes! The pill is real-there's no mistaking it!"

Tet agreed excitedly. "I once read about the recipe in an old text on Draconian traditional medicine the hue is emerald as the pill in that chest, and it is also called the Jade Marrow Pill. I thought it was a fantasy, but now it turns out to be real. It is real!"

With both Tet and Gene vouching for the Jade Marrow Pill, the guests were suddenly less skeptical than shocked.

If the pill was real, its value would be...

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Lawrence... To think that you'd give me such a precious pill for a present!" Gene said, before turning to glare at Hugh. "I will never believe that you are what Hugh Turnbull says you are!"

"Heh, a bunch of thugs trying to slander a true gentleman," Tet added, "oblivious to the fact that he could crush you with his boot."

Tet was utterly impressed with Frank as well-a man this young was able to produce such a pill? He was definitely something special! Who would believe him if he said that he did not have connections? "What... How could this be?!"

Hugh felt as if the world was spinning around him as he dropped to the floor with a thud.

He finally realized why Frank was not even bothered to respond to his endless provocations, because he was really nothing to Frank.

Avenging Sif was nothing more than a fantasy!

On the other hand, Dennis was trembling in terror.

He knew how hopeless Gene had felt back when he was ill-he was one of the doctors who tried to help him. He just proved to be lacking in skill, unable to diagnose Gene, let alone cure him.

And now, when the man who cured Gene stood before him, he actually demanded Gene to exact vengeance on his behalf despite his irrelevance.

Dennis could certainly tell what awaited him now.

"Guards!"

Gene beckoned impassively, and over a dozen security guards quickly surrounded Hugh and Dennis. "Break Hugh Turnbull's legs, and throw what's left of him to his family. Tell his father everything about how he slandered my friend and gave me a counterfeit for a present!"
