Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 289

Mrs. Hunt heaved a huge sigh. "She grew up in the countryside, after all, so she's too narrow-minded. To think she's used all her smarts on things like that!

Discard the medicine she gave me!"

Mrs. Lewis picked up the box of pills that Nora had given Mrs. Hunt. She said, "Before I throw it away, let me take a look at what so many Carefree Pills put together look like..."

She opened the box after saying that, but the moment she did, she suddenly found herself stunned.

Mrs. Hunt scoffed at her reaction. "Look at how ignorant you look. Even if there are 50 Carefree Pills in there, they are only worth $150,000. Am I paying you so little that you react that way at a mere $150,000?"

As soon as she said that, a dazed Mrs. Lewis lifted her head and replied, "M-Ma'am, these... these are not Carefree Pills. They are... they are..."

Mrs. Lewis had worked as a servant for Mrs. Hunt's family back then, so she was on very good terms with Mrs. Hunt. When Mrs. Hunt got married, she had also followed her to the Hunts. After so many years of working as a housekeeper, she had already reached an annual income of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Therefore, $150,000 wasn't really an amount that would shock her this badly.

She looked at the pills in the metal box and swallowed again. "Ma'am, these don't look like Carefree Pills to me. Why do they look so much like Calming Pills?"

Mrs. Hunt was taken aback when she heard that they were Calming Pills. After falling silent for a moment, she said, "They've done the right thing by giving me Calming Pills since they are suitable for my condition. It's not like the Andersons can't afford to give me Carefree Pills, yet they still gave me Calming Pills instead. I suppose they are still rather considerate. What's there to kick up a fuss over Calming Pills, though? They are cheap. Besides, no matter how amazing their Calming Pills are, they can't be worth as much as Carefree Pills, right?"

A dumbfounded Mrs. Lewis looked at her. "They are... Zabe Corporation's Calming Pills."

Thud.

The water glass in Mrs. Hunt's hand fell on the table. She looked at Mrs. Lewis in astonishment. "What?"

Mrs. Lewis looked at the box in her hand. "These are Zabe Corporation's Calming Pills. The smell and all that are very similar, and their name is also written on the

pills. Also! There are 64 of them here!!"

Everyone had already sung so many praises of Yvonne just because she gave one, but Nora had actually given a full 64 of them?!

Mrs. Hunt got up at once. The elderly woman walked up to Mrs. Lewis in just a few steps. She grabbed the box in her hand and said, "Let me have a look!"

Mrs. Hunt was a very well-informed woman. She examined the pills closely. Then, she broke off a small piece from one of them and put it in her mouth to taste it. At last, she confirmed it. "These are indeed Zabe Corporation's Calming Pills."

She and Mrs. Lewis looked at each other after she spoke, and both of them were dazed for a while.
