Chapter 85 - 85: 085: Ordinary People’s Tricks



Before Terrence could speak, Sophie quickly continued, “Third brother, are you hungry? Let Sister get the kitchen to prepare something for you.”

She appeared so affectionate that anyone who didn’t know better might think she was a good sister-in-law.

Little did they know, Sophie usually treated Terrence like air.

She had never even looked him in the eye.

Her sudden change left the servants around them dumbfounded. They couldn’t help but wonder if it had rained red rain from the sky?

Terrence glanced at Sophie, “Second sister-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it.”

Hearing that, Sophie forced a laugh, “Oh, third brother, what you said just now… I have nothing. I just want to care about you.”

Terrence didn’t waste any more words, turning around and heading upstairs.

This made Sophie anxious, and she quickly pursued him, “Third brother, wait up!”

Terrence halted and stared at Sophie. His angular face revealed no emotion as he said, “l thought you said you didn’t have anything?”

Sophie smiled, “Sit down. Sister has something to discuss with you.”

Seeing that Terrence had no intention of sitting, Sophie forced another laugh and continued, “It’s fine to talk while standing too. Third brother, sister-in-law hasn’t asked you for anything before, right? Can I ask you for a favor today?”

Sophie brewed words inside her heart, and then spoke, “Miss Thompson’s beauty pills that she sent me last time were really effective. Can you help me and ask her for another one?”

With her words falling, Sophie looked at Terrence expectantly.

“A single beauty pill can solve all skin problems; what happened to the one Viola gave you before?”

“l ate it.” Sophie lied without blushing or hesitation. After all, Terrence rarely stayed at home, and he probably didn’t know about that incident. “But my problems may be a bit more, so I need another one.”

“Was it Nanny White who ate it for you?” Terrence asked in return.

At his words, Sophie’s face turned red in an instant, both ashamed and embarrassed.

How did Terrence know about that?

Before Sophie could react, Terrence continued walking upstairs.

Sophie opened her mouth but ultimately couldn’t say anything.

She was now filled with regret.

If she had known this would happen, she would never have given the pill to Nanny White in the first place.

Now look what happened!

A servant benefited instead.

On the other side.

Eleanor rushed to the garbage dump hurriedly.

At this moment, she didn’t care about the foul smell from the dump or the elegance of the rich lady. She bent down and started rummaging through the trash.

However, after a long search, she didn’t find the box.

Technically, it should have been at the dump.

Could it be that Harlan had picked it up after finding out about the incident?

After all, it was Harlan who had picked it out of the trash last time.

With this thought, Eleanor felt much better and hurried back to the villa. As soon as she returned to her bedroom, she started rummaging through the cabinets.

Soon, the bedroom was a mess.

Upon opening the door, Harlan was shocked by the scene before him and asked, “What are you looking for?”

Seeing Harlan return, Eleanor was excited, “Harlan, where did you put the beauty pill that Miss Thompson gave me last time?”

Harlan felt a bit baffled, considering Eleanor had wanted to throw it away before. Why was she suddenly looking for it now?

“l put it in the cabinet.”

“When did you put it there?” Eleanor asked.

“Last time.”

Hearing this, Eleanor’s face turned pale. “So, you didn’t pick it up today?”

Harlan looked confused, “Pick up what?”

Eleanor’s face turned even paler.

She had originally hoped that Harlan would pick the pill up. Now it seemed…

Eleanor felt terrible. She wished she could slap her stupid self to death at this moment.

“What exactly happened?”

Harlan was curious.

Eleanor sighed, knowing she couldn’t hide the truth. She told him everything that happened.

Hearing her words, Harlan frowned deeply and scolded Eleanor for being careless.

“l told you long ago not to judge a person by their appearance! But look at you! You always looked down on her as a country girl, and never took her seriously.

You regret it now, don’t you?”

Unlike Eleanor, Harlan never looked down on Viola from the beginning.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have picked up the pill after Eleanor threw it away the first time.

Unfortunately, he could only block the first incident and not the second.

Eleanor just stood there, not talking back.

She knew she was wrong.

And very wrong at that.

After a moment, she looked at Harlan, “Actually, I don’t really look down on her. It’s just that I hate the Thompson family. I never thought she would be so different from Elizabeth…

If it weren’t for Viola’s identity as an adopted daughter, Eleanor would not have been so repulsed by her.

Harlan sighed, ‘You, ah! I don’t even know what to say about you!’

As he spoke, Harlan continued, “But this is also a good thing. Learning from mistakes!”

From now on, Eleanor would never underestimate Viola again.

Eleanor added, “Do you think I should apologize to Miss Thompson?”

She genuinely asked this question.

As the situation unfolded, she wanted to apologize for her previous ignorance and rudeness.

Whether Viola forgave her or not, she needed to show her own attitude first.

“It’s great that you can think this way,” Harlan laughed, “Indeed, you should apologize to the girl.”

Eleanor nodded.

The next day.

Today was Mrs. Sherman’s birthday banquet.

The Sherman family was in high spirits.

Wearing an exquisite dress, Elizabeth sat in front of the makeup mirror and asked Olga, who was standing beside her, “Mom, do I look good like this?”

“You look beautiful,” Olga nodded, her eyes filled with pride, “My daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world.”

Elizabeth’s lips curled into a slight smile.

At this moment, a servant reported, “Miss, Mr. Sherman has come to pick you up.”

Hearing that, Olga exclaimed, “Emma, did Trevor really come to pick you up personally?”

Trevor was the CEO of Su Corporation and a well-known bachelor in River

City. His distinguished status made him the object of desire for countless socialites.

For him to personally come and pick up Emma, nobody knew how many people would be green with envy.

It seemed that Trevor really liked Emma.

“I’ll be down immediately,” Emma picked up her skirt and stood up.

“Wait a second.” Olga held Emma’s hand.

Emma looked back in confusion, “Do you need anything else?”

“Emma, you have to let Trevor know that you are truly unique in this world. If he can’t even wait for you for a little while, how does he deserve to like you? You need to hold onto your dignity.”

Hearing that, Emma shook her head, smiling, “That’s a trick for ordinary people. Trevor must have seen through it long ago. What I have to do is to be different from other girls..”
