Anastasia said, “First, tell me what you need.”
Marlon’s excitement cooled abruptly. He shook his head, a hint of displeasure in his voice. “You don’t even know what I’m looking for, yet you make such a bold claim!”
Anastasia remained calm. “I wouldn’t say it if I weren’t confident. Mr. Clark, all you need to do is tell me which herbs you require.”
Marlon hesitated, starting to take her words to heart.
It was true. Although Barry had made a promise, he hadn’t seen a single one of the herbs yet.
What if it was a lie? What if, as Anastasia suggested, the herbs were real but unusable?
He would end up losing on both fronts.
After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to test her, naming the three rarest and most critical herbs he needed.
If Anastasia didn’t have these, there was no point in continuing the conversation.
Upon hearing the names, Anastasia raised an eyebrow.
“What a coincidence. I have all of them.”
She didn’t waste any time and immediately contacted Joseph.
After she came to Riverton, she had put Joseph in full charge of the research institute. She had also moved the herbs she was cultivating at Rosewood Manor to the institute for him to care for.
She had taught him all her cultivation methods as well.
She wasn't sure how much Joseph had learned, but the herbs Marlon needed were ones she had successfully grown herself!
“You’re at the institute now, right?” she instructed Joseph. “Take a picture of these herbs and send it to me.”
