The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3950

Bernard felt helpless, but was forced to accept Jasmine's conditions as he didn't have any other choice. With teary eyes, he made an eighty billion US dollars payment and signed a contract agreeing to pay the rest in installments. For the next ten years, he must pay two billion and eight hundred million US dollars to the auction house annually.

Once everything was in order, Jasmine finally announced, "Let us congratulate Number 16 for winning the bid for the last Rejuvenating Pill tonight."

At this, Bernard's gloom disappeared momentarily and he excitedly prepared to go on stage. Meanwhile, the crowd looked disappointed at how things turned out.

At last, Jasmine invited Bernard on stage. Then, the staff handed the pill to Bernard and placed it into his mouth.

Bernard was shaking in excitement as he ate the pill.

The rest of the bidders below the stage watched him closely. They had witnessed the effect of a quarter pill and a half pill, but they had yet to see the effect of a full pill. Everyone wanted to keep their eyes peeled and see what a full pill could do.

Bernard was already in his seventies, crowned with the title of the godfather of fashion and luxury goods. Even so, time left a deep trace on his face.

His originally brown-black hair had mostly turned white. His face was densely covered in deep wrinkles, particularly around his eyes. Plus, the skin around his eyes had started to sag deeper. His cheek had begun to droop and revealed the obvious lines around his mouth. In fact, his face resembled the bulldog from the

Tom and Jerry cartoon.

After going through two anti-cancer treatments, he grew much, much weaker than his peers. However, a miracle took place as soon as he took the Rejuvenating Pill.

His hair transformed from white hair to shiny and luscious black-brown hair in an instant. The deep wrinkles on his face quickly faded. Even his drooping cheeks tightened and returned to their original luster.

Earlier, he still resembled his age: an old man in his seventies. But in just a blink of an eye, he transformed into a virile man in his early fifties. Many were deeply envious of his youthful transformation. Bernard couldn't see the changes in his appearance, but he could feel powerful energy coursing through his veins. It was as if his body had regained its life energy with the speed of lightning.

He felt like he was truly young again!

The sensation was kin to coming home exhausted after a tiring yet adventurous day outdoors, only to suddenly return to his energetic self in the morning prior to the strenuous activities.

The experience was so magical, he almost shouted out loud in pure ecstasy. Emotions of all kinds surged in him, and finally, he burst into happy tears.

Tonight was the most tormenting

moment of his life. He had to go

through a roller coaster of emotions throughout, starting out hopeful before sinking in despair, only to have his hope rekindled, and then distinguished again just as quickly as it had come.

When it was finally his chance to have the pill, he almost fell into another breakdown after the organizer forced him into a thirty-six billion US dollars bundle sale.

Unable to hold back his overwhelming emotions, he cried bitterly, his tears carrying both joy and sorrow. He could feel the staggering improvement in his body. Truly, such a miracle was hard to come by!
