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.

After waiting for a whole ten seconds, Mrs.Hunt finally asked, “How did the Andersons get their

hands on such expensive pills?”

Mrs.Lewis was utterly stunned.

“The Andersons have been dealing in traditional medicine for many generations .When you think

about it carefully, it’s actually not that surprising that they would have these pills.After all, they are

also a family with a solid foundation.But if that’s the case, then why didn’t Ms.Smith just say so in

front of everyone just now? Because of that, they ended up secretly being mocked for nothing’’

Mrs.Hunt frowned at her words.

“Either she really doesn’t care about things like reputation and so on—it has long been said that

Melissa Anderson is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is very humble—or…these pills may not be

the Andersons’, so they have to be low-key about it.”

Mrs.Lewis understood at once.

“They aren’t the Andersons’? That means Mr.Hunt gave them to her so that she can give them to

you without embarrassing herself?”

Mrs.Hunt had already thought of that when Mrs.Lewis was speaking.

She realized something and said, “No wonder Justin didn’t show any sign of hesitation or apology

when he came to me for the pill just now.He already knows!”

She felt a lot better now and felt that her grandson was still her grandson, after all.

He hadn’t changed just because he had a girlfriend now.

She looked at Mrs.Lewis with some relief.

Then, she sighed and said, “Justin sure is going through such pains for her! Say, am I being too

harsh on her?”
