Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 140

The maid, Nora Pratt, hurried from the kitchen to the entrance to open the door.

"Mrs. Henderson, it's Madam Whitmore and her daughter."

With this announcement, Diana realized that her younger sister, Eleanor Whitmore, and her niece, Bailee Whitmore, had arrived.

Eleanor was married to a factory foreman. Their life was comfortable by ordinary standards, but it was nothing compared to the Henderson family.

Eleanor maintained a decent relationship with the Hendersons. During holidays and festivals, she and her family would visit the Hendersons for meals.

However, they came across as too petty, often reluctant to even buy the cheapest fruits when they visited.

Diana, considering that Eleanor was her sister and not needing such gifts, had overlooked it.

Yet, Eleanor's behavior had become increasingly audacious. Not only did she arrive without gifts, but she also had a habit of taking things from the Henderson residence when she left.

Today, though, she seemed unusually considerate—she was carrying a fruit basket. Despite the fruit being slightly past its prime, it was quite a generous gesture from Eleanor.

Diana raised her eyebrows slightly. The moment she saw the fruit basket, she suspected that Eleanor's visit wasn't just a simple social call.

"Aunt Eleanor, Bailee, it's good to see you." Yvonne greeted them with a faint smile as soon as Eleanor and Bailee walked in.

"Yvonne, you're growing more beautiful every day!" Eleanor didn't stand on ceremony. After changing her shoes, she went straight to the living room with Bailee and sat down beside Diana.

Only after sitting did she glance over at Yolanda. "Oh? Yolanda, you're out of the juvenile detention center?"

The last time Eleanor visited the Henderson residence, Yolanda was still in juvenile detention. Since even her closest family members had overlooked Yolanda, Eleanor, as an outsider, naturally paid no attention to her.

"That isn't too much to ask, right? But we haven't found a suitable company yet."

"At least 5,000 dollars?" Yvonne and Diana were both taken aback by Eleanor's demand.

Riverdale was just a small city. A fresh graduate's salary there was 2,000 dollars at most. Eleanor's salary expectation was even higher than that of some managerial positions.

Moreover, despite Eleanor's praise of Bailee, she was not exceptionally talented. It was unlikely any company would offer such a high salary.

Yet, Eleanor was clearly unperturbed by her high demands. Instead, she expressed indignation.

"The business owners these days have lost their conscience! They pay so little and expect their employees to work from nine to nine, even on Saturdays. Why should Bailee put up with such exploitation?"
