Chapter 334: Chapter 334

Aaron Underwood was a bit flustered as he looked at the piece of poria held by Eleanor Sterling, which had already changed color. His heart was somewhat panicked.

He murmured, "No... impossible, how could it be fake?"

Eleanor Sterling then took out another package of poria, unopened, and said, "This is the latest batch of poria we purchased. I haven’t opened it, so if it’s fake, everyone can verify it."

Stella Hawthorne found it amazing and immediately volunteered, raising her hand, "Let me! I’ll give it a try."

After speaking, she came over, took the iodine from Eleanor Sterling’s hand, and dripped it onto the poria that was just unwrapped.

Seeing the scene before him, Aaron Underwood was at a complete loss for words.

He clenched his fists, still feeling a bit unwilling.

How did it come to this?

Faye Sterling saw Eleanor Sterling stealing the limelight, she frowned and questioned, "Doesn’t real poria change color too? What if real poria also changes color?"

Seeing Faye Sterling speaking up, Eleanor Sterling’s eyes showed scorn, looking at her with a hint of pitiful disbelief at her lack of intelligence.

The sisters around Faye Sterling immediately chimed in.

"Yeah, what if real poria also changes color?"

"Eleanor Sterling, are you just putting on a show?"

"Exactly! Maybe you’re just tricking us into not knowing, so that’s why you pulled out the iodine test."

Amidst the doubts, Roman Morgan spoke solemnly, "I have a piece of genuine poria with me. If it changes color, we can find out by bringing it here for a test!"

Roman Morgan went to fetch his package of poria slices.

This was given to him by his student before graduation, and he hadn’t had the chance to use it yet.

Roman Morgan personally sucked the iodine and dripped it onto the piece of poria.

The scene went silent, with everyone’s breathing slowing as they stared at the piece of poria, not daring to make a sound.

They watched as the poria, touched by iodine, the orange liquid slowly began to seep in, as if a flower was blooming on the snow.

Tiffany Chase pointed at the piece of poria, excitedly saying, "Look! Look, it’s changing color!"

Faye Sterling also sneered, looking at Eleanor Sterling smugly, and said, "Eleanor, is this your claim that only fake goods change color? Now the real one is changing color too."

She didn’t expect Eleanor Sterling to slip up.

If she could catch her slandering a senior now, even if she didn’t get expelled, this accusation could make her life difficult at the academy!

Her alliance of sisters was quite perceptive and immediately spoke up.

"Hahaha, Eleanor, got slapped in the face, didn’t you?"

"Exactly, when both real and fake change color, I think the color change is just a trick! You’re really trying to deceive."

"We were foolish enough to believe it too."

"Exactly, if Faye hadn’t suggested checking the real one, we would probably have been duped."

Listening to their eager ridicule, Eleanor Sterling remained calm and said, "Don’t you want to take a closer look?"

Stella Hawthorne, who had been worried for Eleanor Sterling, heard her say this and focused her gaze.

They saw that although the piece of poria was stained, it didn’t change color; the drop of iodine remained its original orange-red color.

Stella Hawthorne suddenly understood.

"Ah! I get it, they all get stained, but only the fake ones change color!"

The crowd, hearing Stella Hawthorne’s words, suddenly understood as well; that was how it was.

"Really! Look, the fake one turned black, while the real one is still the iodine’s color."

"No way, right? Could it be that Aaron Underwood really purchased fake herbs?"

"This is big news, he might even get expelled."

Aaron Underwood’s face was ashen, staring at that piece of poria for a long time, unable to speak.
