Chapter 241



Help?

Tanya panicked. She urged, “Quick, Nora, go take a look!”

Could something have happened to that beautiful middle-aged lady?

Nora had heard what Mrs. Landis said as soon as she got out of the car, so she was also a bit puzzled. For some reason, she liked that lady quite a bit, so she nodded and said, “Lead the way.”

Pete, who was hiding in the car, looked at Mrs. Landis in confusion. Wasn’t she Mrs. Landis, his grandmother’s caregiver?

He got out of the car too. He was about to approach when something suddenly occurred to him: if his grandmother saw him, wouldn’t everything be out in the open?

However, he was not worried about his grandmother’s health, as she underwent a medical check-up every year.

Besides, the tyrant had assigned her grandmother bodyguards who were all over the place. If something had really happened, it was impossible for the bodyguards to be so calm.

Therefore, while Mrs. Landis was preoccupied and had not noticed their presence, she held Tanya’s hand and said, “Open the door first godmother. That kind of environment is not suitable for children. I’ll wait for you and mom here.”

Tanya, “…”

To think she wasn’t even thinking that far ahead as a child. However, she quickly came to her senses, hurried to open the door and let Pete in. Only then did he go after Nora.

Two minutes later.

Inside the greenhouse, Tanya stared at the beautiful lady in front of her and the pot of flowers in her hand. She was stunned. “When you asked for help, were you talking about the flower pot?”

The beautiful woman nodded. “Yes, of course, what else could I have been talking about?”

Both Tanya and Nora were silent.

When they both heard Mrs. Landis’ call for help, all they could think was that something had happened to her.

Now that they thought about it again, wasn’t it obvious? After all, Mrs. Landis didn’t know Nora was a doctor!

The corners of Tanya’s lips twitched a little. “Then I should have been more clear about it. We ended up running all the way out here.”

Mrs. Landis was terribly nervous. “These flowers are the very life of the lady. I wasn’t exaggerating when I asked for help.”

“…”

Tanya said no more. As for Nora, she looked at the pot of flowers in Iris’s hand. It was surely infested with worms, but since they had used pesticides on it, the worms had disappeared. However, the flowers had also been damaged as a result.

He frowned. “The pesticide has already penetrated deep into the flower. This flower can no longer be saved.”

Mrs. Landis burst into tears. “It’s all my fault ma’am. It’s all my fault! I saw that the young lady managed to save the flowers by spraying them with vinegar, so I thought the pesticide would be fine too. Sob… Clearly the vinegar smelled even stronger and more pungent than the pesticide…”

Tanya couldn’t help but say dryly, “See what you’re saying. The vinegar is edible, but is the pesticide edible?”

Her words made Mrs. Landis gag, but she kept her head down and wiped away her tears.

Iris had only decided to use the pesticide because he had convinced her. Even though it wouldn’t make her compensate for the flowers, it bothered her to see Landis sad!

She looked at Nora and asked, “Can you save this pot of flowers, Ms. Smith?”

Iris’s eyebrows were also furrowed and she looked miserable.

“… I didn’t say this flower pot was going to die,” Nora replied.

Both Mrs. Landis and Iris were taken aback by her words, and looked at her.

Only then did Nora slowly say, “You can no longer keep this particular flower, but the flower pot itself is still salvageable as long as…”

She listed a few herbs and said, “Boil them to fill only three bowls of water. Dilute the solution and water the flowers with it afterwards, this flower pot will be fine. The flowers will grow back later.”

Iris was stunned when she heard her verbally list the recipe so flippantly.

Why did her method of using traditional medicine to treat flowers sound so much like Orchidiance’s style?

But Orchidiance was not based in the United States.

As Iris wondered, she saw Nora yawn as she finished. Then, she started walking slowly toward the door. “Do as I say and everything will be fine. We’re coming back.”

Iris panicked. She hurried over to Nora, grabbed her and said, “Miss Smith, right, shall we add each other on Messenger?”

Nora, “?”

Iris smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m sure I won’t bother you! At most, I’ll only approach you when something goes wrong with my orchids.”

Nora, “…”

She wanted to refuse. After all, the owner of Villa No. 9 didn’t seem like someone simple. She didn’t want to get into trouble.

But when she saw the eager, anxious look in Iris’s eyes, as well as her beautiful, practically blemish-free face, she suddenly didn’t dare.

Cough.

She would never admit that Cherry had inherited her love of beautiful faces from her.

He pulled out his cell phone and they added each other on Messenger. Only then did he go next door with Tanya.

Mrs. Landis was out shopping for the herbs Nora had listed, so Iris was the only one in the villa for a while. She sat in the wooden chair on the patio and opened Nora’s Facebook page.

A master orchid breeder like her would certainly share a lot of tips on growing orchids, wouldn’t she? Unfortunately, her page was empty.

Iris suspected that the young woman had filtered it, so she scrolled up the page, and discovered that the other party’s friends list was visible to her.

In that case…

So Miss Smith had never posted anything, how lazy was she?

The corners of her lips twitched a little. In the midst of her surprise, there was another knock at the door. Unconsciously she got up and went to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Tina outside.

Iris’s expression instantly turned cold. “What have you come for Miss York?”

Tina replied, “I’ve come to check your orchid for you Mrs. Hunt.”

Iris couldn’t help but smile at her response. “No, it’s fine. Someone has already cured my orchid.”

Someone has already cured it?

Tina was surprised. “How can that be?”

She had asked for help on several websites and had also approached several people who were experts in the treatment of orchid diseases, but they had all told her there was nothing to be done. How could it possibly have recovered already?

She was still thinking about it when Iris smiled and asked, “Is there anything else?”

Tina bit her lip.

She supposed Justin must have gotten an expert to cure the orchid, just so he could keep it from getting near Iris. In any case, his original intention of pleasing Iris was only so he could….

Tina’s gaze darkened. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “Actually, I just came to inform you of something, Mrs. Hunt.”

Iris was a little surprised. “What?”

Tina narrowed her eyes. “Are you aware that your son has started dating a woman from a nobody family and has made her his girlfriend?”

Iris replied coldly, “I don’t care to know anything about that.”

However, Tina smiled again and said, “You may not be interested in hearing about his girlfriend, but what about your grandson, Little Mr. Hunt? Aren’t you interested in hearing about him either? Aren’t you afraid that woman with no foresight will abuse your grandson when he marries into the family?”

When Tina chatted with Iris in the past, she found that the woman always tried to draw the subject to Pete and get her to talk about him.

Even though she didn’t visit her grandson, she still liked him a lot.

Therefore, Tina used her trump card right away. “After all, he’s not her real son, so she can only be his stepmother. Once she marries Mr. Hunt and bears him a son, do you think she will still maintain her position as heir to the family?”

Iris’s jaw tensed.

She did not intend to interfere in her son’s relationships, nor would she be easily goaded by someone’s mere words. However, this would not stop her from investigating the other party’s background.

“Who is it?” asked Iris.

Tina excitedly replied, “Her name is Nora Smith.”

Iris: “?”

Smith?
