Mrs. Macy took the gift and opened it, inside the box was a fine looking gemstone. She acted like she
really liked the gift, and softly thanked Winnie.
Estelle’s eyes flashed, and she glanced at Jonathan.
Jonathan held her hand and squeezed it a bit to comfort her
Everyone walked towards the hotel villa prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Schilder. Dinner was served and
they ate and chatted.
Because Schilder’s wife was from C City, his dialect was very good. He and Jonathan Baldrick spoke
the Country C dialect without a hitch.
Schilder even brought along a brown–haired butler who had a stern face, carefully recording the

She could drink quite a lot, too. She could tell the name and year just by smelling the wine. Quite
impressive.
From time to time, Schilder and his wife would exchange whispers, displaying their affection.
Baldrick asked Winnie to accompany Mrs. Macy in drinking. Estelle decided to join them, but after just
one glass, Jonathan had the servants to bring her some juice.
Winnie was talkative and cheerful, well–connected and with a wealth of knowledge She quickly became
familiar with Mrs. Macy.
Estelle was not good at talking and had no experience in such social gatherings. She felt guilty for not

Winnie shook her head and smiled, ‘Hard to say. They are good at hiding their true emotions. Schilder’s
visit to our country is not just for the Anderson and Lamont families.”
Raising her eyebrows, Estelle changed the topic and asked, ‘What about Mrs. Macy? Won’t she think
it’s rude for us to be out here?”
Winnie laughed, “Mrs. Macy is on the phone, chatting with a friend. She probably won’t be done
anytime soon.”
She turned her gaze to the distant mountains, her voice becoming a bit dreamy, “You know, Schilder is
very sttracted of women from our country. His wife and his close assistant are all from C Country So…”
She turned to Estelle, her eyes filled with meaning, “Do you know why Baldrick and Mr. Lamont brought
us here?”
Estelle stared at her in shock.
Winnie scoffed, “Men, they’re all the same!
