Chapter 719

Lauren frowned. “What are you doing? This is outrageous, why are you panicking so much?”

The next moment, the security guard said, “The Ghost Orchids are dead!”.

Lauren was stunned. She frowned and said, “That’s impossible!”.

The security guard pointed to where the Phantom Orchids were and gulped. “It’s… they’re…”.

Lauren headed toward the Phantom Orchids.

Iris and Nora looked at each other. They smiled at each other and followed her.

As soon as she approached, she saw that the pot of Phantom Orchids, which had been beautiful and lovely at first, had wilted. As if it lacked water, the flowers were slowly drooping.

In addition, it was also visibly wilting.

Lauren stared at the Ghost Orchids in shock. At that moment, Nora looked down and looked at the time. She said, “59 minutes and 20 seconds. Madame Lauren, you have lost.”

Calling her Madame Lauren and not Madame Hunt, this was no different than slapping Lauren across the face.

However, Lauren couldn’t be bothered to worry about something like her name right now. She stared at the phantom orchids and muttered to herself, “This is impossible…absolutely impossible…. I’ve tried that recipe with many orchids before, and nothing like that has ever happened!”.

All of those orchids had survived. Even the one in the worst condition had survived for half a month.

More and more people were gathering around them.

Seeing that everyone had moved closer, Lauren felt even more embarrassed. Suddenly, she turned to Iris. “What did you do with the orchids?”

gαℓησν𝒆ℓs․com brings you fresh updates Iris: “?”

She raised her eyebrows, a smile forming on her lips. “That’s really interesting. From the moment we made the bet, we’ve been sitting in the corner. There are plenty of people here who can attest to that! Also, isn’t the security guard guarding the flowers someone you had encountered? Are you saying that your security guard didn’t guard the flowers properly?”

The security guard was startled to hear her. He rushed to defend himself and said, “Yes, I did. I was staring at this flower pot the whole time. How could I dare to turn away from it when it’s worth over a million dollars. I didn’t even dare to blink the whole time, for fear that something would go wrong. I can guarantee that everyone stayed far, far away from the flowers and didn’t come close at all during this period of time.”

Everyone at the flower show was from wealthy families, and they were all very smart and savvy. Lauren had already made it clear that she was using the flower pot to fight with Iris. No one would be so blind as to go ahead and mess with the flowers.

Lauren panicked. “Why would anything happen to the flowers if no one went near them? It must be because you didn’t keep a good eye on it.”

The security guard panicked even more. He pointed to the surveillance camera on the side and said, “There’s surveillance camera footage as proof!”

In the end, Lauren couldn’t find anything else to blame, so she could only go back to looking at the orchid.

At that point, Nora said, “I’ve already told you that that ingredient you’ve added can speed up the recovery of the Ghost Orchids, but it’s like a person suddenly finding themselves in a very good mood before their death. You’ve made the Phantom Orchids spend all their future vitality in a single day, So they’ve wilted faster than before!”

Lauren shouted, “But my recipe has been proven to be useful! All the other orchids were fine!”

Nora said coldly, “It’s not that they’re fine, it’s that nothing has happened to them yet! Ghost Orchids are more delicate than other orchid breeds, and there are only a few varieties of them. Different orchids are like different people, so the dosages given to them would definitely have to be different. All the orchids you used the recipe on should have wilted within half a month to a month.”

Before returning to the United States, Lauren already knew that Matthew was looking far and wide for someone to treat his pot of Phantom Orchids. So, while still overseas, she had already figured out the recipe and tested it on numerous orchid pots.

He had only returned after verifying the recipe.

But little did he know that his plans would fail because of the Ghost Orchids.

While he was thinking, his phone rang. When she answered, her maid from abroad said, “Ma’am, two of the orchids you cured have wilted in the greenhouse!”

Those words were like a slap in her face, making Lauren finally realize that there was indeed a problem with her prescription.

At that point, Matthew had also heard the commotion. With someone’s help, he unsteadily approached.

Matthew had been here a long time ago. He wanted to keep an eye on his Phantom Orchids, but since he was already very old, after coming and leaving the pot of Phantom Orchids, he had immediately gone to the VIP room upstairs.

When he saw the state of the Phantom Orchids, he immediately panicked. He looked directly at Lauren and asked, “What’s going on? You’d better give me an explanation for this.”

Lauren swallowed saliva and clenched her fists. She could only grit her teeth and deny it. She said, “Matthew, your flowers were incurable from the beginning. My prescription had at least allowed you to recover for a day. Besides, when you passed the flowers to me, I was already doing a Hail Mary effort. I also feel very guilty that they didn’t recover, but there really was no other solution.”

She sighed quietly and added, “I’m sure you’ve also exhausted every solution you could think of over the past few months, which is why in the end you could only try the Orchidiance method. I’ve been trying very hard too, Matthew. You don’t blame me for that, do you?”.

Lauren was hurling accusations when she herself was the villain. However, her words shut Matthew up.

He had tried all sorts of ways to cure the Phantom Orchids, but they had all failed. In the end, he could only try to treat them with the Orchidiance method.

But how many people really knew how to do that?

When he decided to try Lauren’s method, he took a chance.

However, if Lauren hadn’t seemed so sure of herself at the time, how could she have allowed him to treat her orchids so easily?

Now that he thought about it, even though Lauren had seemed very confident that she could cure the flowers, the things she had said had been very tight-lipped. It was true that she had never promised that she could cure orchids.

When he thought about this, Matthew got so angry that his chest felt all tight as if he couldn’t breathe. He looked at the pot of ghost orchids in anguish and said, “Why couldn’t they be cured?”

Lauren tried to advise him. “Matthew, I’m afraid there is no cure for that pot of flowers anymore. Even if Orchidiance were here, it probably couldn’t do anything either.”

Orchidiance wouldn’t be able to do anything either if she were here?

Lauren sighed. “I’ve already thoroughly mastered Orchidiance’s method, so I’m sure she was indeed using Orchidiance’s method to treat the flowers. I’m so sorry for your loss.”

Matthew ducked his head in frustration.

At that moment, Nora suddenly said, “It’s not completely impossible to treat them.”

Her sentence caused everyone in the room to raise their heads and look at her.

Matthew also looked up hopefully. Nora stepped forward and looked at the pot of Ghost Orchids. “Here I have a solution.”

Matthew asked excitedly, “What kind of solution is it?”.

Nora was about to speak when Lauren said, “Miss Smith, I advise you to be careful when you speak. I’ve already told you that good alternative medicine people can’t necessarily cure flowers. After all, there is still a big difference between flowers and humans. Not everyone can mimic the essence of Orchidiance’s ability.”

The moment she said that, Nora’s lips curved into a smile and she slowly said, “You’re right, it’s true that not everyone can mimic the essence of my skill.”
