Chapter 108 Her Daughter–in–Law’s Past
Hearing that, Zaylee’s face turned serious.
Before this, she hadn’t paid much attention to her new daughter–in–law’s past.
As for Elizabeth’s so–called scandals, most of what she knew had come from idle gossip among noblewomen.
Finished
Even so, she knew Elizabeth had been exiled to Garbage Planet because of this second daughter and her fiancé.
Bringing that fiancé to pick Elizabeth up? It was obvious what they were up to. Anyone could see it.
Zaylee was an open–minded mother. Since her son hadn’t clearly objected to this marriage arranged hrough genetic matching, she had just let things happen naturally. She hadn’t bothered digging into Elizabeth’s background.
But now, things seemed different.
This involved the situation and interests of the Hewitts‘ daughter–in–law.
‘Bring me all the information related to her,” Zaylee said.
‘Yes, Mrs. Zaylee.”
Soon, a detailed file about Elizabeth was placed in Zaylee’s hands.
She read through it carefully. The more she read, the deeper her frown became, and the uglier her expression became.
What upset her wasn’t the so–called “bad behavior” listed in the file.
At her level, Zaylee had seen plenty of rich–family drama and knew that things aren’t always what they
seem.
What truly made her unhappy, even angry, was how the Schofields treated Elizabeth.
The file clearly showed that Elizabeth had been ignored and pushed aside for years, while most resources were given to the stepdaughter, Hannah.
Before and after Elizabeth got into trouble, the Schofields didn’t try to protect her. Instead, they rushed to cut ties and ignored her after she was exiled.
Only after the news of her marriage to Cristian came out did the Schofields suddenly act like they cared.
Their motive couldn’t be more obvious.
At the end of the file was the latest update from yesterday.
A record of Elizabeth shopping at StarRing, a mall owned by the Hewitts.

Chapter 108 Her Daughter–in–Law’s Past
The most basic eco–pod, and the cheapest mini hover bike.
Finishe
Looking at the models and prices, then thinking about all the sparkling jewelry, custom gowns, and luxur vehicles she had personally prepared these past few days for a daughter–in–law she hadn’t even met…
Zaylee felt awful.
This child… Is she really living in that kind of basic pod on Garbage Planet?
And getting around on that tiny bike?
So they really don’t take care of her at all!
Zaylee sat in silence for a few minutes, tapping her fingers on the table.
Then she looked up and told Jeremy, “Put everything we prepared for her away for now.”
Jeremy paused for a second, but still replied respectfully, “Understood.”
Zaylee continued, “Then, send ten million stellar coins to her private account as a personal gift from Commander Hewitt and me.”
She looked at him and sighed softly. “Tell her it’s a wedding gift from us. She can spend it however she wants, buy whatever she likes. She doesn’t need to wrong herself. As for everything else, we’ll talk about it later.”
Early the next morning, before the fog had even cleared, Elizabeth hopped on her little bike and started scouting the trash piles around the edge of the farm.
She was looking for the next spot to clear out, scanning the mountains of rusty metal, twisted plastic, and gross rotting junk.
When she found a good spot, she’d stop, bury some energy stones, and set up a circle.
After checking two large areas, each over a hundred acres, her device beeped.
It was the alarm she had set earlier.
Her strawberries were ready to harvest.
Strawberries!
Sweet and a little sour strawberries.
Ever since she came to this awful place, she hadn’t had a single bite of anything sweet.
Suddenly, she couldn’t wait another second.
She turned the bike around, ready to head back and try her precious strawberries.
But as she passed the work site where Blackrat’s group was assigned, she saw Melton Powell facing off with
