Chapter 871:
Lucilla stood directly behind Selah, completely unflinching. Mimicking Selah’s posture, she glared at the group and shouted, “Scammers!”
Their outburst caused the elderly customers waiting in line to hesitate. Murmurs spread through the crowd as they began to question whether Selah’s accusations were true.
Selah placed a hand over her chest and declared with unwavering sincerity, “I’m a retired doctor. Would I ever lie about something like this?”
The man posing as a doctor visibly stiffened. Flustered, he quickly grabbed a sheet of paper from the table and thrust it toward her.
“Please stop spreading misinformation. We’re endorsed by Aetheris Pharmacy. What we sell truly benefits people’s health. Look, it even carries Aetheris Pharmacy’s official seal!”
“Aetheris Pharmacy?” Selah repeated, instantly recognizing the name as belonging to Rylie’s establishment. She snatched the so-called endorsement letter and scanned it, only to find the entire document written in a foreign language. Her brows knitted together as suspicion deepened.
Noticing her confusion, the man smirked and said mockingly, “Can’t read it, can you? Naturally, an endorsement like this isn’t something just anyone can understand. After all, this is an imported medicine that sells well worldwide. Just because you can’t read it doesn’t mean you can falsely accuse us. Our products are completely genuine!”
“Fried rice and the best way to make grilled sausages?” Selah recited from the so-called endorsement letter, her voice ringing with sharp, scathing mockery. “This is what you dare to call Aetheris Pharmacy’s endorsement? You thought you could trick me, assuming I couldn’t read this language? Well, I understood it perfectly!”
She slapped the paper onto the table with a sharp crack and planted her hands firmly on her hips. Her voice rose, filled with righteous fury and commanding authority. “Listen carefully! Aetheris Pharmacy is managed by my acquaintance. I can recognize every official format and seal from that place at a glance! This forged letter is such a pitiful attempt it’s almost laughable. You shameless swindlers, passing off a recipe as an official endorsement. Do you really take us for fools?”

The fake doctor and the surrounding salespeople froze, rendered speechless. Yet when the plainly dressed elderly woman boldly claimed that her granddaughter owned Aetheris Pharmacy, their stunned silence quickly broke into mocking laughter.
“Your acquaintance? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day! Just look at you. Do you really think anyone here would believe that? Who would buy the idea that you know the owner of Aetheris Pharmacy? Stop making a scene! If you’re not buying anything, then leave and stop blocking real customers!”
“I’m not going anywhere! I’ll stay right here, and you’re not selling another pill today!”
Selah stood her ground, unwavering. Among the crowd, a few people who understood the foreign language confirmed that she was telling the truth. Realizing they had been deceived, they immediately stepped forward to support her.
As a result, the crowd collectively decided to return the medicine they had just purchased.
Seeing the situation spiral out of control, the so-called doctors attempted to forcibly drive everyone out, and the confrontation quickly escalated into a scuffle.
The commotion intensified, and the bodyguards assigned to protect Selah and Lucilla struggled to keep them safe amid the chaos.
