Chapter 145 Terrifying

“Mrs. Hewitt?!”

“Which Mrs. Hewitt?!”

Everyone in the room stood frozen, staring like someone had just dropped a piano in the middle of the floor.

The old man broke the silence first. “Fenix, you just called her Mrs. Hewitt. Does that mean her husband is…?”

Fenix didn’t even wait for his grandfather to finish. He jumped in, his voice sharp. “Grandpa, Ms. Schofield is married to General Cristian Hewitt. You saw the Kingdom’s official announcement, remember?”

He grimaced at the memory. His whole family had hounded him about getting married after that news broke.

The old man slapped his knee, excitement making his words tumble out. “Well, I’ll be! Tycoon Boss, I had no idea you were General

Hewitt’s wife. Forgive me for not recognizing you sooner.”

Cheryllina and Emeriton both looked like they’d just been hit with a bucket of cold water.

Sure, they’d heard about General Hewitt’s marriage, but they were never the gossipy type.

They spent all their time working, so they hadn’t even paid attention to the online circus over General Hewitt’s wife.

The older lady rushed up, barely holding herself together as she grabbed Elizabeth’s hand and gave it a good shake.

She looked starstruck, like she was meeting a movie star.

Right on cue, she blurted out, “Tycoon Boss, I can’t believe you’re actually Mrs. Hewitt. What a pleasure! But–are you still going to sell sweet potatoes and regular potatoes?”

Her question was desperate. This was about her whole family’s well–being.

If Tycoon Boss stopped selling, how would they get by?

The old man’s excitement dropped in an instant. He stared at Elizabeth, looking more anxious than ever.

Elizabeth smiled, her eyes full of warmth. “Don’t worry. I’m not just going to keep selling sweet potatoes and potatoes, I’m rolling out even more good stuff soon. I hope you all keep supporting me.”

The old lady let out a huge sigh of relief. “That’s wonderful! Tycoon Boss, if it comes from your land, our family’s buying always!” The old man nodded so hard his glasses almost fell off. “You bet! We’re behind you every step of the way.”

Cheryllina and Emeriton both relaxed. They’d tasted Elizabeth’s potatoes themselves. The flavor was out of this world, and the way it soothed the mind was something you couldn’t find anywhere else in the Kingdom.

If she’d stopped selling, it would’ve been a tragedy for everybody.

While her regulars beamed with relief, the two cops stood there like ghosts. Their faces had turned pale as flour, and then knees almost gave out. They started shaking, lips trembling, totally lost.

Mick and Mandy looked like they’d been struck by lightning. They stood rooted to the spot, minds blank.

Cristian Hewitt’s wife. Elizabeth.

That woman they’d just seen digging through the trash–this was the one they’d called a filthy beggar, a nobody.

How could the Hewitts‘ new daughter–in–law possibly be her?

Mick turned on his device and checked Starnet. It was true.

The old lady’s excitement bubbled over again. She hurried up and grabbed Elizabeth’s hands, squeezing tight.

She couldn’t believe she was holding the hands of the woman who grew those miracle potatoes.

She thought, This is probably the most important person I’ll ever meet. I should hold on a little longer for luck.

The next moment, her nerves got the best of her.

“Tycoon Boss, you’re really Mrs. Hewitt? I can’t believe it. But–will you still come out and sell sweet potatoes and potatoes?”

Everyone listened, holding their breath.

This was not a polite question. This was about their family’s happiness. They needed her to say yes.

Tycoon Boss‘ potatoes had become a lifeline for their families.

If she stopped selling just because of her new status, they’d have nowhere else to turn.

The old man, who’d been on the verge of tears from excitement, now looked desperate. He stared at Elizabeth, hoping she wouldn’t say no.

For them, her being Tycoon Boss mattered even more than her being Mrs. Hewitt.

Elizabeth looked at their anxious faces and couldn’t help but laugh a little. “You can relax. I’ll keep selling. Not just sweet potatoes and potatoes–there’ll be all kinds of new stuff coming soon. I hope you’ll all keep showing up.”

The old lady and old man both sighed with relief and broke into big grins. “Of course we will.”

They looked happier than when they’d found out about her identity.
