Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 355

Chapter 355

Once Carissa finished speaking, she gave Eleanor a respectful bow.

“Aunt Eleanor, you’ve treated my mother–in–law with such sincerity, which moves me greatly. Though my past reputation is not the best, it is understandable that you have concerns.

“However, I promise to be respectful and always prioritize my mother–in–law’s wishes. As for the pearls, I had always planned to give some to my mother–in–law. After I visit my family and guild members, I will send a jar of them over. If she wishes to gift them to someone, that is her own decision. As her daughter- in–law, I wouldn’t dare interfere.”

Eleanor understood that Carissa was providing a way out–and she had no choice but to take it.

Her carefully maintained reputation for half her life could not be ruined by a few pearls. The way those martial artists favored Carissa was clear to Eleanor from yesterday.

Moreover, it was better not to offend Helen too much. Since Helen was now learning to resist, it would be difficult to extract more money in the future. It was better to return the pearls without protest and keep her complacent. Later, Eleanor could still extract plenty of wealth and treasures from her.

Despite her seething anger, Eleanor’s face suddenly broke into a forced smile. “Since you understand how to respect and be devoted to your mother–in–law, I can rest easy. Why would I covet a few pearls? As you said, I just wanted to test you.”

She waved to her servants. “Bring those pearls here.”

Carissa nodded, and smiled. “Thank you, Aunt Eleanor, And let’s not forget the three thousand silver coins you owe my mother–in–law.”
