The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 293

As soon as Nolan said that, everyone's smile, including Megan's, froze instantly.

The words Spirit of Life Serum seemed to cast a spell on those who understood its value, leaving them stunned for a brief moment. But then, they burst out in laughter.

They knew that it was impossible. This joke was even more absurd than the knockoff Crystal of Devotion stunt Nolan tried to pull off.

Megan's face twisted with laughter. "Nolan, you've truly gone crazy. What did you just say that was? The Spirit of Life Serum?"

The Spirit of Life Serum was a priceless treasure even for those with vast fortunes, and Nolan had just casually brought it here?

"Nolan, perhaps you've heard of the Spirit of Life Serum, but you obviously don't understand just how rare it truly is.

"Even if we were to accept that the Crystal of Devotion you tossed in the trash was real, we would never believe you could acquire the Spirit of Life Serum. That's because this isn't something money can buy!"

Megan shook her head and looked at Nolan with pity.

"You've really gone to every possible length for appearances and to save your dignity. I can't even tell anymore if you're doing this for Kara or because you're desperate to prove yourself to us, but you're doing it all wrong." She sighed, not even bothering to mock him.

She snatched the vial from his hands, held it up, and screeched, "Nolan, this is too much! You knew very well this was the one thing I wanted most, yet you're deceiving me with a replica? This is beyond forgiving!"

Turning to Audrey, Kara looked aggrieved and had tears in her eyes. "See, Audrey? This is how he bullies people. It's despicable!"

Audrey seemed disappointed in Nolan as well. She shook her head lightly. "Nolan, I told you the truth when you asked me back then. But why would you present a fake one? It's Kara's birthday today, after all. You've gone too far."

In the face of the accusations and the disappointed look on Audrey's face, Nolan let out a quiet sigh. "On what grounds are you accusing me of presenting a fake Spirit of Life Serum? None of you have even seen the real thing, so how can you be so certain that this is a replica?"
