Chapter 68 A Juicy Gossip.

Reva noticed Rosalie’s calm, distant attitude and finally relaxed.

“Rosalic, I want to make a deal with you,” she said.

Finribed

“The quilts and rice from your shop, I want to buy them for the people in our tribe. One set for each family.”

She paused, then added carefully, “But most people in our tribe are poor.”

Carina started coughing hard. Her face turned red before she could speak again.

“So could you give us a discount?

“There are many families. If we buy in bulk, you won’t lose much.”

Business was still business. The more people who could afford rice and quilts, the lower the chance of unrest later.

Rosalie smiled slightly. “Alright, Mother.

“That’s my tribe too. I’ll give you the lowest price.

“Just tell my shop helper how much rice and how many quilts you need. I’ll prepare them in advance. Have them come pick everything up tonight.

“There are too many people during the day. I don’t want others to know I’m giving discounts.”

Carina’s eyes filled with tears as she grabbed Rosalie’s hand.

“My daughter has really grown up. You can handle things on your own now.

“I used to worry you’d get into trouble, that you’d kill yourself.

“But you’re living so well now; I’m truly happy.”

Rosalie pressed her lips together and said nothing. Her throat felt tight. In her past life, her mother had died on the very first day of the apocalypse.

In this life, she had been thrown out by her family the moment she arrived. She had once thought Carina hated her.

But what mother doesn’t love her daughter? Carina was the same. Her love was real but hidden deep inside, never spoken out loud.

Chapter 68 A Juicy Gossip

Reva watched Rosalie closely, afraid she might soften and expose Reva’s secret plans.

But Rosalie’s eyes stayed clear and distant. She showed no sign of being moved. After confirming the number of families and the pickup time, she urged Carina to leave.

Reva clutched Carina’s arm tightly, desperate to get away as fast as possible.

Finished

Rosalie stood there in silence for a moment. Then a pill appeared in her hand. She turned and waved Leon over, whispering a few words into his ear.

Leon took the pill and hurried off in the direction Carina had gone.

Late that night, many tribe members gathered inside the rice shop. Grace was there too. Rosalie had already given her plenty before, but if everyone came and she didn’t, it would look

strange.

Elijah stood at the counter, taking money with one hand and passing out goods with the other. After Grace finished buying, she slipped into the shadows and chatted with Rosalie.

In the dark, Grace’s voice sounded secretive and excited.

“Rosalie, want to hear some juicy gossip?”

“What gossip?” Rosalie asked.

Grace lowered her voice.

“I saw your sister with your mother’s husband that day. They were hugging in the woods!

“I swear I didn’t get it wrong. I even had little Christopher sneak closer to check. It really was your sister.

“Christopher said they even kissed!”

Grace looked proud, as if she had uncovered something huge. But Rosalie showed no surprise at all, as if she already knew.

Grace went on, “Your mother’s been sick lately too. I even wondered if the two of them worked together to harm her.
