HappyNovelChapter 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 cacross 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 becincreasingly 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 tEleanor 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.
Eleanor scrutinized Yolanda and noticed that the latter had gained weight over the past three years. She
wrinkled her nose, thinking not only of Yolanda's juvenile detention past but also of her appearance. Eleanor was
certain that Yolanda would never find a husband.
"Landy, this is your Aunt Eleanor and her daughter Bailee. You should remember them, right?" Diana introduced.
"Yeah." Yolanda nodded and moved to sit on the opposite couch.
The original Yolanda had disliked Eleanor and Bailee. Besides, Bailee had bullied her in the past. Yolanda saw no
reason to engage with them now.
"Diana, | brought Bailee here today because | need your help with something."
Without waiting for Diana to offer her any, Eleanor grabbed a slice of orange from the table and began eating as
she spoke.
"Bailee just graduated, but she studied jewelry design. There are very few relevant companies in Riverdale. Most

"For someone as talented and exceptional as Bailee, she deserves a top position with a good company. I'm
looking for a job with a nine-to-five schedule, weekends off, annual leave, a one-month bonus, and a monthly
salary of at least 5,000 dollars.
"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 smanagerial 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?"
