Chapter 499 - "A Walking Dumpling"
Ainsley almost choked on her hot milk when Sherleen questioned her like that.
She immediately wiped the edge of her lips with the back of her hand before looking up at Sherleen, face flushing red.
Can’t you suddenly ask for the business secret, ah?! Why would I tell you who created the potions??
"I’m sowwy. It’s our business secwet so I can’t tell you anytwing." Ainsley brushed it off casually and was about to chase Sherleen away when the woman gritted her teeth and sighed.
"Okay, it’s rude of me to ask who created your potions...but can you tell me whether the alchemist...is an elf or not?"
When Sherleen asked this, Ainsley paused. She actually hesitated whether to say the truth or not.
However, the alchemists from the alchemist guild might have guessed that the potion maker was an elf alchemist...
In fact, Geraldine had taken a look at the potion in Ainsley’s hand and just with a look, he knew it was an elf’s potion.
Ainsley knew she shouldn’t lie since many people would know the truth anyway, and it’s not a bad thing. The baby paused for a bit before nodding.
"Yes. It’s cweated by an elf."
As expected!
Sherleen’s eyes widened for a bit, but she didn’t show any other reactions. The woman suppressed her emotions and nodded.
"Alright, I’m glad you’re honest. I truly thought the potion was an elf’s potion to be priced that expensive."
Sherleen smiled at Ainsley before snatching the potion she bought from Ainsley’s hand and pocketed it.
"Thank you for answering my rude question. Your auction...it was a nice auction, by the way." Sherleen praised Ainsley out of formality before turning around to leave.
She only needed to know that an elf indeed created the potions.
From this clue alone, she could see that the baby hid an elf in her mansion...then, she only had to track from where she got the elf.
Thus, Sherleen didn’t bother to stay, afraid that she would expose her identity. Geraldine and Jake also didn’t stay around since they were under disguise.
The two hurriedly followed Sherleen out of the building.
At the same time, Ainsley watched Sherleen’s back view and squinted.
’Why is she asking me whether the potion is an elf’s potion or not...’
Ainsley was a bit sceptical of Sherleen.
’Maybe she wants to know my business secret? Or maybe she knows Axelle from his potion? No, no, that’s impossible...Axelle has a complicated background...’
Ainsley had a bad feeling about this, but since she couldn’t do anything, she forced herself to ignore it.
Whatever. It’s not as if Axelle is illegal, anyway. I bought him from the auction and released him from being a slave. He belongs to the Sloan Family but can also leave if he wants.
’I am not trapping him.’
Ainsley fiddled with the blanket while watching the trio left backstage. Once she was sure the trio was gone, only then did she go to meet Jacqueline.
At the same time, Jacqueline was also watching Jake leaving the venue without even greeting her. She knew that he’s undercover and couldn’t expose his identity, but still, the woman let out a long sigh.
Is that rascal still mad because I often read his mind back then? Can’t be helped, right? It’s just a reflex...
Jacqueline was in a daze when Ainsley jumped from the chair and ran to the woman, still wrapped in a blanket, looking like a dumpling.
"Auntwie, auntwie, it’s your turn!" Ainsley tugged Jacqueline’s long skirt, alerting the woman. She immediately looked down and saw...a walking dumpling.
The woman couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Yes, yes, lil dumpling. Let’s talk business." Jacqueline took a chair somewhere and brought it to Ainsley’s previous chair. She put the chair right across Ainsley’s chair before sitting elegantly.
"I don’t bring the business contract document right now, but I’ll give you a barcode and the business contract digital agreement, okay?"
Jacqueline got Ainsley’s number and sent all the preparation to sign the business contract. Of course, they couldn’t sign the contract right now.
Thus, Jacqueline sent an invitation to Ainsley.
"In the future, you should visit the Billios Family estate at the capital. We will further discuss the contract. How is it? You can visit us 3-6 months in the future, it’s also ok."
Ainsley couldn’t agree more. That’s exactly what she wanted. She just got several invitations from the big guilds to visit the capitol for the summer camp or something...
It would be good to also visit the Billios Family estate. At the same time, she still had the pending mission at the capital to be someone even more popular than the Godfather.
It would still be half a year or sooner for her to visit the capital once more since she still had many things to do in the Roane region.
Thus, Jacqueline’s suggestion was truly what Ainsley needed.
"Twank ywou, Auntwie. Ain will definitely visit. Here is your pwotion." Ainsley gave Jacqueline the juvenile potion that she bid for.
The baby already received the business contract promise and the barcode, anyway. She believed that Jacqueline wouldn’t go back on her words.
She had a reputation to keep.
"Oh, so this is the juvenile potion. Thank you, Godtoddler. I’ll be taking my leave now."
After settling the issue, Jacqueline also left the venue. She was rushing to go back to the capital and couldn’t stay for too long.
Ainsley accompanied the woman to leave the building and afterwards went to see the last guest that wanted to see her...
It was Evan and his son, Finley.
But Ainsley was still curious about those two...
Why are they looking for her?
