~Chapter 49~ “You almost made me the bad guy again,” Julian said. “But I know you’re not that kind of woman anymore. I’m sorry for being thoughtless and bothering you.” That was… a surprising thing to say. ‘What do you even know about me to say that?’ Sure, it was true—but for all Julian knew, Harriet Listerwell was still supposed to be a scandalous troublemaker. “How did you figure that out?” “If you were still that way,” he said, “you would’ve clung to…-

~Chapter 48~ ‘Yeah, even if Harriet got prettier, she’s still just Harriet. Who would care about an ugly girl? People are only annoyed because a scandal maker like her had the nerve to come back.’ But she didn’t realize her friends’ true feelings. It wasn’t that they couldn’t keep up with Bella that bothered them—it was that someone they used to look down on, like Harriet, had changed so much. They were more curious about how she became pretty. No matter how much they copied…

~Chapter 47~ “You don’t know anything about this. Just do as your aunt says.” The dresses her aunt picked for her were either puffy pink things covered in ribbons or ones so dull and tightly wrapped they looked suffocating. They were all over the place in style, but one thing was consistent: none of them suited Harriet at all. If her aunt just had bad taste, she could’ve forgiven it. But she clearly had an excellent eye when it came to picking out clothes and jewelry for Bella. ‘I…

~Chapter 46~ As expected, Roxana sighed deeply and held her forehead. Harriet clung to her more. “Please give me one more hour of lessons about economics. Also, could you recommend some books to read? And if you happen to have any summary notes… maybe I could borrow them…” “You really are a shameless thief.” “But no matter how much I steal your knowledge, it won’t decrease, right? So I’m not really a thief.” Harriet gave a cheeky grin, and Roxana finally gave in. Trisha…

~Chapter 45~ Cedric silently calculated something and exchanged a few words with his aide to confirm some possibilities. Then, he wrote the revised content on the business plan. He never once asked for Harriet’s opinion, but she couldn’t really complain. ‘How can I jump in when I don’t even understand what they’re saying?’ Even though it was her business plan, watching Cedric expand and refine it made her feel strange. On one hand, she was happy to be recognized by him, but on the other…

~Chapter 44~ Her heart raced. People were selling soap everywhere, so would Cedric really scoff at the need for a non-disclosure agreement over something so trivial? But she had come this far—there was no turning back now. “This is the business plan. I thought it would save time to have you look at this first, so I’ve prepared it in advance.” The documents seemed flawless when she had reviewed them this morning, but now that she was about to present them, a sense of unease crept in, as if…

~Chapter 43~ As expected, the Duke of Kylas’s estate was overwhelmingly grand. While the Count of Pellon’s mansion was no small place, this was on an entirely different scale—almost worthy of being called a palace. At the end of the day, it’s still just a house people live in. Harriet tried to calm her nerves before they got the better of her. When the carriage arrived at the entrance, a footman with striking looks approached and politely offered his escort. “Lady Listerwell’s…

~Chapter 42~ “Since you’ve started, go as far as you can.” After Oster died, it was thanks to Trisha’s gentle push that Roxana was able to graduate from the Candia Kingdom’s academy, which accepted even commoners as students. Becoming the top graduate had been the result of her working herself to the bone—all to repay the kindness of House Pellon. At twenty-five, she returned to the Empire and had since spent the last ten years serving as Trisha’s aide. When I think about it,…

~Chapter 41~ Catherine shook her head again. But Harriet, with a brighter smile, grabbed Catherine’s hand. “Of course, I don’t know if this business will succeed or fail. But I can guarantee that the quality of the convent’s products is excellent, and the attention I’m getting right now will translate into popularity for the convent’s products. People don’t realize just how much attention I’m getting.” When Catherine still hesitated, Harriet tightened her grip on her hand and…

~Chapter 40~ “Feel free to ask anything.” “I’m sorry to bring this up, but I’ve heard you struggled with a skin condition in the past. But now your skin looks so good. Do you have any secrets to it?” At this, everyone’s eyes lit up. It seemed like they were all curious about it. “Ah, well…” Just as Harriet was about to speak, a thought suddenly crossed her mind. ‘This is it! This is the idea!’ A way to make money for St. Clarissa Convent. A way for her to make…
