At this moment, Megan and Jeanne were utterly transfixed, their eyes red with jealousy as they watched Jennifer's transformation. The changes left them speechless.
"Damn it! It's real?"
"How is this possible? The Crystal of Devotion and Spirit of Life Serum are real? Has the world gone mad, or am I losing my mind?"
Megan was full of doubt and demanded, "Jeanne, tell me just what has happened here? How could Nolan afford a real Crystal of Devotion, and how could he possess the elusive Spirit of Life Serum? Explain it to me!"
For Megan, the world seemed to have flipped upside down.
Wasn't Nolan just an ordinary person? Plus, wasn't he just released from prison after three years? How could he possibly afford the Crystal of Devotion?
Even if the purchase of the Crystal of Devotion could be explained, how could he possibly obtain the Spirit of Life Serum?
Most baffling of all was Nolan's behavior. Who in their right mind would give away such a priceless treasure? That was a level of madness that even lunatics couldn't reach.
Looking at the irritable and anxious Megan, Jeanne's mood was not much better than Nolan's.
"Megan, should we go have a look? We can leave the other matters aside, but we have to get to the bottom of the Spirit of Life Serum. You've seen how precious and miraculous it is. If we can't get our hands on a bottle, it would be a huge regret!"
Megan gritted her teeth, nodding. "Let's go. Audrey must know something."
Right then, an unexpected turn of events unfolded.
Archie, who had just left, suddenly returned to the banquet hall. Facing the crowd, he shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Greene has asked me to deliver a message. Please listen carefully."
