Chapter 354

Eleanor turned to Helen with a look of confusion.

“What is this about? Pearls and bets? Wasn’t last night just a feast? When did you take any of her dowry? This simply won’t do! Dowries are the private property of the daughter–in–law. You cannot take them, even in jest.”

Helen was taken aback.

Over her years of interacting with Eleanor, Helen had suspected that Eleanor might not give up the three thousand silver coins. Even so, Helen had held onto a sliver of hope and thought that Eleanor, being a person of pride, would honor the bet simply to preserve her dignity.

Eleanor’s complete denial of both the pearls and the bet was beyond Helen’s expectations.

Dumbfounded, Helen instinctively glanced at Gillian, who was shivering with a reddened face, trying to shield herself with her sleeve and desperately stifling her runny nose.

Helen turned back to Carissa, who remained calm and composed, as if she had anticipated this outcome all along.

Helen was unwilling to be belittled by Carissa, but was even more enraged by Eleanor’s shamelessness.
