Chapter 76
“How many times have I told you, she is not your sister!”
Gloria seemed unable to stand having had a fake daughter like Annelise, her voice growing louder: “Julie, you’re still young. You don’t understand that once someone is poor, they’ll find a way to cling to you.
You say she’s changed, but that’s just to get by.”
Juliette frowned. “But she really does know medicine. Even the Winthrop Patriarch just came.”
Gloria was shocked. “Are you saying the Winthrop family chose her?”
Juliette bit her lip. “Not exactly. She’s with the Pennington family. It’s their young master who’s quite outstanding.”
Gloria sneered. “So she’s latched onto the Pennington family. I underestimated that poor old hag. On her deathbed, and she’s finally willing to use her connections!”
Juliette’s eyes darted. “So, Grandma’s medical skills are actually decent, right?”
Gloria scoffed coldly. “She killed a patient. Even if she has some skills, her reputation in the industry circle is com- pletely ruined. Only the Pennington family would give her any social standing.”
Juliette lowered her head in thought.
“Julie.”
Gloria took her hand. “Don’t you worry. Even if the Pennington family helps her, that old crone won’t amount to any- thing. Right now, the most important thing for us is to find another way to connect with the Winthrop family again.”
Juliette looked up. “There is a way.”
Gloria’s eyes lit up. “What is it?”
Juliette averted her gaze. “I intentionally didn’t take out the Etherhart Herb. I left it at the Winthrop’s place, thinking it would give me an excuse to enter the estate again.
Mom, was that a bad thing for me to do?”
“My darling daughter!
What’s bad about that!
You are so clever!”
Gloria looked at Juliette with satisfaction. “How can that fake one compare to you!
Your intelligences aren’t even on the same level!”

Hearing her mention Annelise again, Juliette lowered her eyes, a glint of venom in them that was hard to read.
Gloria didn’t know why her daughter was so concerned with that fake one. To make her focus on the Winthrop fami- ly, she did everything she could to belittle Annelise.
It wasn’t really belittling, since that fake one was truly dumb and stupid!
After all the effort back then, she only got into a technical school. It was a complete embarrassment to Gloria!
Not like her Julie, who even got into a university in Brookford, not to mention she’s studying medicine. It looks like she’ll be able to connect with the Winthrop family soon. A life of luxury is waiting for her!
Gloria was blissfully fantasizing about climbing the social ladder by marrying off her daughter.
But Juliette suddenly asked, “Mom, who exactly did the Kendrick family offend to fall so hard all at once?
Could this have something to do with Grandma’s Etherhart Herb?”
“Has the Kendrick family made few enemies over the years!”
Gloria already hated Rosalie to the bone. “Don’t always connect everything to that old hag. With Rosalie’s money- grubbing ways, maybe one of her apprentices reported her!”
