“Ariel?” Jeanette asked with surprise, not having expected to see her stepsister. But a moment later, her face lit up with a smile and she approached the other girl. “What’s going on? This is the first time you’ve visited!”

Up until now, Ariel had completely avoided Roussel Corporation. None of their goods, which were mainly aimed at the general populace, were of interest to her, and she’d always found the idea of doing business vile.

“Right... Well... There’s something I’d like to discuss with you, Jeanette,” Ariel mumbled.

Jeanette knitted her brows. Huh...? What’s wrong with Ariel? She usually speaks very clearly, but today she’s slurring her words. I wonder if she’s feeling unwell?

Not to mention, Ariel’s attire was very different from usual. The girl had always liked pink, and went out of her way to wear different kinds of pink gowns. Her fixation on the color went from her hair ornaments all the way down to the tips of her shoes, and her appearance was always soft and sweet.

But right now...it’s almost like she’s become a different person, Jeanette thought.

Ariel’s clothes were still pink, but they looked a little worn down, as if she’d been wearing the same outfit many times over. That was also very unusual for her, as she always handed her clothes down to her maid after wearing them just once.

Her hair, which normally would’ve been meticulously curled, was loosely tied up in a way that was barely acceptable for one of her status. Though she wasn’t exactly grungy, her appearance was plain to a point that was unthinkable for someone like her, who was typically very fussy about how she looked.

Jeanette glanced over her shoulder, where Claus and Kyuriakris had approached as well, curious to see what was going on. “Sorry, but would it be okay if Ariel and I speak privately for a moment?” she inquired, and the men nodded before silently exiting the room.

Once the two girls were alone, Jeanette led Ariel over to the sofa. They both sat down, and she poured her stepsister some light pink tea. “So what did you want to discuss? Did something happen to mother? Or to you...?!” Jeanette asked fearfully.

Whenever they met in the past, Ariel would always loudly shout, “Sister! There’s something I want you to get me!” But right now, that girl was nowhere to be seen. Ever since she’d first entered the room, Ariel had been silent. Seeing her stepsister acting so well-behaved for the first time only heightened Jeanette’s anxiety.

Perhaps sensing Jeanette’s agitation, Ariel looked a bit embarrassed and finally spoke up. “N-No, it’s nothing that serious... It’s just that mother was being so annoying, asking me to get more bulbs...”

“You mean tulip bulbs?”

“Yes...” Ariel replied, pouting and turning to look the other way in shame.

Jeanette blinked a few times. Did she just come to get the bulbs? That’s strange. I thought she’d ask for something bigger than that. After all, the last time Jeanette had visited them, Leila had laughed the plant bulbs off. So why did she suddenly.
