Chapter 575:
Was the man joking? How could just a carrot be worth ten million?
Yelena was just a girl from a poor village. How could she possibly possess something of such extraordinary value?
“Could you please take a closer look? Perhaps you’ve made a mistake,” Ava interjected swiftly, her sharp instincts kicking in.
The man nodded in agreement. He first took a deep sniff, and then, with meticulous care, sought Jack’s permission. Once Jack gave a nod of approval, he tasted a small piece.
With just a small taste, it was as if he had indulged in an exquisitely rare delicacy. His entire face lit up with an expression of pure satisfaction. “I can assure you without a doubt—this is phenomenal! Truly one of a kind! And definitely the best p>
Both Leo’s and Ava’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Leo turned to Jack, his voice filled with desperation as he pleaded, “Grandpa, you’re aware of my situation. Why not let me have this p>
Jack swiftly hid the ginseng behind him and replied firmly, “No.” He then turned to Yelena, his tone sincere as he added, “Yelena, this gift is far too valuable. I truly cannot accept it. Please, take it back p>
“Grandpa, have you lost your mind?!” Leo roared, almost driven mad by Jack’s refusal.
This was ten million dollars they were talking about!
Leo couldn’t help but think that he had never laid eyes on such an amount in his entire life.
“Yelena, you’ve already given it away. Surely, you can’t take it back now, can you?” Ava said, her gaze fixed on Yelena.
Yelena replied calmly, “Of course not. Since I’ve given it to Great-uncle Jack, it’s his. There’s no reason for me to take it back p>
Upon hearing this, Leo and Ava let out a quiet sigh of relief, the tension easing in their chests.

Yelena then said softly to Jack, “Great-uncle Jack, since the ginseng is yours, you are free to do as you wish with it p>
Jack hesitated. “This is p>
“Grandpa, I know I’ve made mistakes. Please, I beg you, help me,” Leo pleaded eagerly.
Jack pondered for a moment before responding, “I can help you settle your debt, but you must not touch this ginseng. If I find out you’re up to something, you’ll regret it p>
“Of course, of course,” Leo assured him.
Yelena handed Jack a smartphone and patiently taught him how to use it. Despite his age and poor eyesight, he quickly grasped the basics with the aid of his reading glasses, soon learning how to open a chat app and read messages.
Yelena said gently, “Look, this is my phone number. Call me if you need anything, okay p>
Knowing Jack’s stubborn nature and his reluctance to accept her help, Yelena secretly arranged for someone to keep watch over him around the clock. Any sign of trouble would be reported to her immediately, allowing her to feel more at ease.
Yelena didn’t stay at Jack’s place. Instead, she turned around and headed to a hotel in town, planning to spend the night there and return to Eighfast the next day.
“Yelena, is that you?!” A delivery person suddenly recognized her, greeting her with enthusiasm. In her excitement, however, she lost her balance and fell flat on her back.
The woman’s ankle appeared to have been sprained, as she was unable to get up for quite some time.
Yelena quickly rushed over, but instead of helping the woman up immediately, she first carefully examined her to ensure there were no other injuries besides her foot.
Fortunately, apart from the sprained ankle, she had no other injuries.
Yelena then proceeded to administer basic first aid.
