[Okay.]
After replying to the text message, Rachel Barton’s mood instantly brightened. She picked up the Mantou that was cast aside and started nibbling on it with gusto.
It was just a tasteless Mantou, but her expression seemed as if she was eating some kind of delicacy.
The Lentz n.
Eleanor Armstrong was sitting on the living room couch, knitting a scarf.
Her mood was quite good, even humming a little tune.
Charlotte Young, seeing her like this, was somewhat puzzled. She walked over and sat down beside Eleanor, smiling, “Mom, what happened? You seem so happy.”
“Ah? Do I look that happy?” Eleanor looked back at her eldest daughter-inw.
“Definitely, your mouth is almost stretching to the back of your ears!” Charlotteughed.
Eleanor hadn’t noticed, “Really?”
Charlotte nodded and then asked, “When did you learn how to knit sweaters?”
“I can’t knit sweaters. I’m just knitting a scarf.” Eleanor replied.
“That’s still pretty impressive.” Charlotte continued.
“Knitting a scarf is easy, do you want to learn?” Eleanor asked.
Charlotte quickly waved her hand, declining. How could she learn this kind of thing?
“Is this for the third son?”
Charlotte asked knowingly.
“No,” Eleanor shook her head.
Charlotte looked very surprised, “Then, who are you knitting it for?”
That was indeed odd.
“It’s for Vi,” Eleanor answered.
Vi?
Charlotte was taken aback, and then she realized, could Eleanor’s “Vi” be referring to Vi Thompson?
“You, you mean Vi Thompson?” Charlotte asked very uncertainly.
Eleanor nodded, “Yes.’
Charlotte swallowed, and was very surprised.
She didn’t quite understand.
When did Eleanor’s rtionship with Vi Thompson be so good?
Could it be…
Because of the Beauty Pills?
Charlotte continued, “Weren’t you not fond of Vi before?”
“That’s because I had a misunderstanding with her before.” Thinking back, Eleanor was actually quite regretful, “Vi is a very good child. It’s Terrence’s good fortune to marry her.”
At this point, Charlotte waspletely dumbfounded.
Was this person really still her mother-inw?
As she said this, Eleanor looked at Charlotte, “Charlotte, we misunderstood Vi before.’
Charlotte felt worse and worse, and continued, “Mom, have you ever thought that those Beauty Pills might not have been made by Vi at all?” She didn’t want to be sisters-inw with a country girl.
Before, Eleanor was on her side, so she had more confidence.
But now, Eleanor had actually turned against her!
Charlotte simply couldn’t ept it.
“Charlotte, what do you mean?”
Eleanor frowned slightly.
“Exactly what I said!” Charlotte was somewhat agitated, “Mom, think about it. She’s just a vige girl, she might not even know anything about herbs, let alone making Beauty Pills, and good ones at that!”
“So, there’s only one exnation: she’s tricking us!’
No matter how Charlotte thought about it, there was only one possible exnation.
“But the Beauty Pills do seem to work very well, how do you exin that?” Eleanor asked.
“I’m not saying the Beauty Pills are fake, just that I don’t know if they were made by her.” Charlotte continued,
After a pause, she added, “l suspect Vi Thompson bought those Beauty
Pills.”
“Bought them?” Eleanor furrowed her brows.
Charlotte nodded, “Yes, bought them. I asked around, and the betrothal gifts we gave to the Thompson n were all taken by Vi. Her parents didn’t get a single dime.”
“That’s impossible. Vi isn’t that kind of person,” Eleanor tly denied.
Vi Thompson was definitely not the kind of person who would buy medicine and deceive others.
“Mom, think about it. If Vi could really make Beauty Pills, would she still study? She could just sell the Beauty Pills directly! With their amazing effect, there would be a huge demand!”
Studying was just for making money.
Based on the sky-high price of one Beauty Pill worth 800,000 =
