Chapter 240

Evadne had been enjoying the comforts of home for three consecutive days, her routine consisting of little more than eating and sleeping. She was like a piglet in a pen, nursing on slop.

Her stepmothers were all too keen to pamper her. Myra was in charge of the kitchen, preparing a steady stream of delicious dishes for Evadne.

Three days later, she stepped on the scale and found that she had gained a whopping six pounds!

“Alright, alright, we’ll ease up after this meal!” Myra and Aviana cajoled, leading Evadne back to the dining room.

Emeric and Jareth were out of town for an important event, leaving Evadne to have lunch with her three stepmothers.

“Miss Evadne! Good news!” Jason burst in, his eyes sparkling with glee. “Glynnis has been implicated in a business scandal and is now under police custody! Elspeth is running around like a headless chicken, and Mr. Frederic is busy trying to get his daughter out of trouble!”

“Ah, it took them three days to handle Glynnis. The Elmsworth police department could learn a thing or two from our Skyrim guards.” Evadne wasn’t surprised, she simply picked up a napkin and dabbed at her lips.

“Well, Glynnis is the heiress of a wealthy family. The police can’t just act rashly.”

Suri placed another pastry on Evadne’s plate. “Here, have another one. Once you’re back in Elmsworth, you won’t get to enjoy Myra’s cooking.”
