The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 75.2

Chapter 75.2

Massage oil.

Although the focus was on pregnant women because of the donation campaign, there were no distinctions regarding who could use it.

The knights used it to relieve muscle pain, and it was said that the noble ladies had an eye on it because it was a product that helped relax their legs that cramped from wearing uncomfortable shoes.

“If you can talk with Yunette’s representative, ask them if we can get a limited-edition product.”

“And we would appreciate it if they could set aside a bundle for us when a new limited-edition product comes out…”

Even though Lilika did not answer the question, the ladies naturally began to talk among themselves.

“Ugh, it’s hard to get it like this. Honestly, I think they should raise the prices a little more.”

“You’re right. Only aristocrats should use it. Why do commoners need to have good skin?”

“What’s the use of their skin getting better? If the commoners’ skin improves, won’t they show off as if they’ve become aristocrats?”

The noble ladies complained that they mentioned to the staff about selling only to the nobles, but that the staff didn’t seem to be listening properly.

“If we know the release schedule in advance, we’ll be able to sweep everything so that the commoners and lower nobles can’t buy it.”

“If we can’t stop the sale, we’ll buy all the products.”

“If everyone’s skin improves, the scarcity value drops.”

“Or why don’t you ask the Duchess to make that suggestion? If the representative of Yunette is close to the Duchess, they might listen to her.”

Were they plotting to prevent others from enjoying them when they themselves have experienced the results of the cosmetics?

To Lilika, who had never been troubled by her skin, both the commoners and the young ladies in front of her seemed equally insignificant.

‘Well, it is true that I don’t like how everyone and their mother’s skin is improving.’

In the past, when people saw Lilika, they first talked about how good her skin was rather than commenting on her beauty.

However… After Yunette’s cosmetics became famous these days, she could see that the complexion of the ladies who were struggling with their skin had visibly improved.

‘Won’t I lose my merit at this rate?’

She agreed that she wanted that number to be lower than it was now.

‘But I gave her funeral flowers… I can’t go to her first.’

In the past, Duchess Primrose would have been the one to come to her first. She would tell Lilika that it was fine.

But now she was staying still, seemingly hoping that Lilika would apologize first.

It bothered her like a hangnail.

‘Since when did she pretend to be a good wife or a good mother?’

She should act like always. A pushover should smile like a pushover.

And she was also coming to the social world these days, giving Lilika less room to move about. She didn’t like anything she did.

But this was definitely an opportunity.

“Then… shall we meet at the next gathering and talk in detail?”

“Oh my, let’s do that!”

This gave Lilika the opportunity to attend the next social gathering.

However…

The social gathering that she attended went differently than Lilika expected.

“My mother is indeed in possession of some cosmetics, but my sister Yuria only gives them to the knights. I couldn’t get my hands on any of them…”

This was Lilika’s plan.

‘I had no intention of obtaining the cosmetics in the first place.’

Instead, she decided to turn the rumor that Yuria had provided cosmetics to the knights to her own advantage. She would make it so that Yuria was pretending to be nice while turning away from Lilika, her own sister.

She pretended to feel sorry, and even her chin trembled…

“Then is it difficult to get the cosmetics through Lady Lilika Primrose?”

“Sorry?”

She didn’t get the expected response.

Instead of listening to Lilika’s story, they were only interested in the cosmetics.

Of course, as ladies, there was something that made it difficult to criticize Yuria without question like before.

Such as the situation in which Lilika seems to have stolen her sister’s fiancé, or the personality controversies that kept creeping out as they were about to be forgotten.

Even so, for Lilika to pretend to be close to Yuria while saying that she was bad… She, too, didn’t have a very affectionate impression. Rather, she might have a temper.

If she approached them first, she might be able to pretend not to know the past controversies and fit in.

‘Maybe Yuria Primrose will be able to get the cosmetics more easily than Lilika Primrose…’

“So… You talked like you were going to bring the cosmetics the other day, but you couldn’t in the end?”

Their point was that she acted like she would bring the products to this gathering, but in the end, she was empty-handed.

‘I thought they would forget about the cosmetics if they talked with me.’

It was shocking that Lilika didn’t even try to obtain them in the first place.
