Chapter 19

"How much?" Seeing her mother like this, Miss Miller seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and began to take it seriously.

"It just ate up a whole month's worth of food for our entire household. If I hadn't discovered it early, it could have eaten everything here!!"

"What?! That's impossible!"

"It's all because of you, you little girl, just picking up something and daring to throw it into the kitchen!"

"......"

……

"Chloe, you glutton, are you finally willing to come back?"

"Eat~ eat~~"

That night, Evan noticed that Chloe looked very satisfied, and knew that Chloe must have run into a wealthy family today!!

……

Back to the present, Evan drove the ox cart back to The Miller Family, entering The Miller Family under the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Of course, the astonished looks from the crowd were not for him, Evan, but for the The Miller Family young lady, Grace Miller, by his side. No one expected that the Miss Miller would return so early.

Hmm, they weren't surprised that the Miss Miller came back by ox cart. That didn't surprise them, because they all knew that the Miss Miller was capable of doing anything.

They were just surprised that the Miss Miller, who usually didn't come home until night, would return home so soon after noon.

"Evan, the master has already agreed. You can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. Huh, Little Grace, didn't you go out today?" When Mrs. Parker saw Evan together with the Miss Miller, she was a bit surprised, but didn't pay much attention, just asked casually.

"Then I'll go get the medicine. You two have a nice chat!" Evan immediately got ready to fetch the medicine, looking very eager.

"Kid, I'm going with you, don't rush!!" Miss Miller looked at Evan, the corners of her mouth showing an "I know what's up" smile. You brat, I bet you're up to something.

Earlier, when Miss Miller arrived, she saw Mr. Miller inside enduring hardship. She sensed Mr. Miller's seriousness and determination, and at the same time, she herself felt a bit uncomfortable.

She had heard of this kind of improvement method before—it's very tough. If it were her, she definitely wouldn't do it, so she had no intention of staying and wanted to leave with Evan.

"??" Mrs. Parker looked at Miss Miller a bit strangely, feeling that Miss Miller seemed to be getting a bit close to this little servant Evan, but she didn't care too much.

First, Miss Miller wasn't her daughter; second, what she cared about now was her son who was suffering.

"Evan, how much did you spend on this medicine again? Is it still enough?" This time, Mrs. Parker took the initiative to ask.

"It's enough. The pharmacy here gives us a 10% discount, so there's still money left over. The list and the remaining money are all there, you can check them." Evan said.

A 10% discount? Kid, you clearly bought it at a 20% discount, and you just pocketed that extra 10% for yourself!!

"Well done. The Huang family pharmacy rarely gives a 10% discount! You can keep the leftover money as a reward." Mrs. Parker said generously.

"Thank you, Mrs. Parker!!"

After thanking her, Evan quickly took the reward money and disappeared.

As a servant, not taking a reward would be abnormal!! Evan had just missed out before, it wasn't that he didn't want it...

Damn, this kid even got a reward. But if I didn't know he was skimming off the top, I'd think he totally deserved it!! Miss Miller followed Evan, finding him more and more interesting.

"Kid, weren't you afraid I'd expose you just now?" After they had gone far, Miss Miller patted Evan on the shoulder and said.

"Not at all!" Evan shook his head.

"Why not? Logically, if you were caught, you should have told the real price, but you still said you got it at a 10% discount!" Miss Miller was a bit puzzled. As she said, most people, once caught, would be honest and not try to skim off the top again—at least not this time. But Evan was still the same.

This left Miss Miller very confused!!

"Why tell the real price? Since you've already found out, if you want to say something, it doesn't matter even if I tell the truth." Evan said indifferently.

"...You're quite something, kid. Finders keepers, you should share this with me." Miss Miller said playfully, shamelessly trying to get a cut.

"Sure!" Evan nodded, agreeing very straightforwardly.

In these situations, finders do get a share. If someone finds out, you always share a bit. He'd gotten quite a few shares from others this way, but he was always very discreet—this seemed to be the first time he was "splitting the loot" with someone.

"...Why did you agree so quickly? Are you up to something again..." Miss Miller looked at Evan suspiciously.

"Come on, miss, it's a fifty-fifty split, you can do the math yourself." Evan said irritably, taking out the silver and splitting it with Miss Miller. Fifty-fifty, he calculated it very precisely, without any deviation.

It wasn't because the other party was Miss Miller; even if it were someone else, he'd do the same. Actually, he skimmed off the top simply because he wanted to.

If he really cared about Miss Miller's status, he wouldn't have split it fifty-fifty—he would have given her more.
