Chapter: 1469
" Canaan was so furious that he could barely speak.
As usual, Mrs. Jenkins was employing shady tactics to prove her point. How could what she said be considered a contribution?
ALL Barbara had done at the charity auction was to present the Jenkins family's items. At most, she could be considered a middleman. How could she claim the credit for it?
Unfortunately, as Canaan pondered over it further, he realized that while Hrs. Jenkins's argument was far-fetched, it would be reasonable enough in the eyes of others.
Securing a quota for the Pill Alchemist Association exam was indeed a feat that no one else in the Jenkins family had achieved for many years. Moreover, Mrs. Jenkins had framed her sentence in a very cunning way.
She had said that no one in the Jenkins family had done it before Barbara, which indirectly lessened Maria's contribution at the charity auction, which had only come after Barbara's.
The Pill Alchemist Association had already sent news that, due to the high price of Maria's pill formula, they were willing to offer two additional exam quotas to the Jenkins family.
However, if one were to look at the chronological order, Barbara had indeed gotten one quota before Maria.
How could Mrs. Jenkins twist the situation like this? Was this first come, first serve?
Seeing that Canaan wasn't able to refute her immediately, Mrs. Jenkins took advantage of his silence and continued, “Family rules are there for a reason, Rewards and punishments should be given to those who deserve them. Since Barbara had made great contributions to our family, she should be rewarded in kind. Let her be one of those who will participate in next month's Pill Alchemist Association exam."
Her words made Canaan seethe with anger.
ALL Barbara had done was use the Jenkins family's resources to auction items, but not only did she end up taking the credit, but she also ended up getting the crucial benefits that came out of it.
Basically, Barbara was taking everything that was supposed to go to the actual members of the younger generation of the Jenkins family!
Barbara, of course, was quite pleased with the outcome. She had gained exactly what she wanted and shot down Canaan in the process.
“Well, Mrs. Jenkins, since that's how you want to distribute the quotas, then Maria, who won two exam quotas for the family, shouldn't be left out of the exam next month!" Canaan declared loudly.
The smile on Barbara's face froze.
Allow Maria to participate in the Pill Alchemist Association exam?
Barbara was confident that she could pass the exam, but that meant so could Maria!
After all, even she didn't dare deny the difference between her and Maria when it came to alchemy ability.
If Maria was allowed to sit for the exam, Barbara wouldn't be the only pill alchemist in the Jenkins family with a certificate from the Pill Alchemist Association.
Barbara prayed in her heart that Mrs, Jenkins would find a way to reject Canaan's request.
“Okay, I agree. Unexpectedly, her grandmother agreed right away.
Barbara's eyes widened in shock.
Canaan was as surprised as Barbara to hear that.
