Cliff's words landed like a bucket of ice water over the room.
The moment he finished speaking, the Sutton clan erupted in mockery.
"Do you even hear yourself?" Wanda Sutton let out a cold laugh. "Over the years, Cole the Pill King has cured more dignitaries than you can count on both hands. Are they all fools who let themselves get scammed?"
"Exactly! Cole the Pill King's reputation isn't something a loser like you gets to slander. Know your place!"
"If you ask me, he's just jealous that our family is about to rise. He's trying to sabotage us on purpose!"
One after another, they piled on.
Not a single person believed a word Cliff had said.
Facing the wall of hostility, Cliff's expression didn't waver. He spoke evenly. "I'm not slandering anyone. I'm simply telling the truth."
