“In the past, Jeanette always gave us anything we wanted,” Ariel told Leila. “And you see, mother, I no longer wish to live my life relying on my sister.” With that, she gently removed Leila’s hand from her cheek.

The woman instantly flew into a rage. “Wh-What are you saying?! And what’s so wrong with doing that in the first place?! She’s our family, so we can rely on her a little!”

“Family? Mother... Have you forgotten what we did to her?”

“I...!”

“Jeanette is doing well for herself now. She’s the one who made the tulips so popular too. Meanwhile, at our house, nothing changes no matter how much time passes. Isn’t it time for us to start facing forward, too, mother?” Ariel inquired, staring at Leila fixedly.

The woman had blonde hair and blue eyes just like Ariel. Even in the opinion of high society, her beauty hadn’t faded at all yet. But those blue eyes of hers were dull and muddy. They were very different from Jeanette’s clear eyes which Ariel had gazed into the last time they spoke.

Ariel thought she made a sound argument, and that this was why Leila avoided her gaze. But in the next moment, her mother let out a shriek while covering her face. “Ariel... How cruel of you! I see you’ve forgotten all about how much I struggled to raise you after your father passed away! I gave up everything and married that baron for your sake, and now here you are, bullying me!” she screeched in a shrill voice, as though the world itself was ending.

“W-Wait, mother...!” Ariel sputtered, shocked to see Leila in this state. I forgot that she’s the type of person to scream whenever things become inconvenient for her!

A few servants had appeared here and there at the sound of the screaming, peering at them to see what was happening.

“I can’t believe you, Ariel! You can’t even get a few plant bulbs for your own mother?! You’re completely heartless! You don’t care about me at all, do you?!” Leila continued, her voice only getting more shrill.

Based on my past experience, once mother gets like this, she’ll refuse to budge until her wish is fulfilled... Ariel let out a resigned sigh. “All right. I’ll get the bulbs from Jeanette, so don’t say things like that...!”

At her words, Leila’s usual smile finally returned.

Around the same time, Jeanette was in the company president’s office, having a staring contest with the various documents lined up atop her desk. They laid out in minute detail the price fluctuations of the tulips ever since they first went on sale.

Looking everything over, this really is the only time such an abnormal price increase has occurred. While the prices of all other flowers would always crash around this point in the fad’s life cycle, tulip prices only keep rising... Jeanette thought with a troubled look on her face. She turned her gaze toward the sofa, where Claus and Kyuriakris were sitting with similar expressions, focusing on their own documents in turn.
