Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

“It happened today.” Charlotte Young replied.

Eleanor Armstrong couldn’t have imagined that the Beauty Pills Viola Thompson gave her would end up sending someone to the hospital.

She originally thought that, at most, the Beauty Pills might just not work.

Now it seems that not only are the Beauty Pills ineffective, but they are also poisonous.

How terrifying.

“How’s Nanny White doing now?” Eleanor Armstrong asked next.

Charlotte Young shook her head.

From the side, Sophie chimed in, “She’s had to go to the hospital; her condition must be terrible.’

As she finished speaking, she continued, “This Miss Thompson is too reckless. She sends us anything without a second thought. What if someone had died?”

After all, Viola Thompson was the Lentz Clan’s unwed daughter-in-law, meaning her actions have already gone beyond personal matters; she’s damaged the reputation of the Lentz Clan as well.

Charlotte Young caught the implication in Sophie’s words and immediately said, “Our Lentz Clan is one of River City’s prominent families, with hundreds of years of history as a scholarly household. We cannot let our reputation be ruined by an outsider.”

Eleanor Armstrongs eyebrows knitted together deeply, anger hiding in the depths of her eyes.

“Which hospital is Nanny White in?” Eleanor Armstrong asked next.

“Mom, why are you asking this?” Charlotte Young asked.

Eleanor Armstrong replied, “Let’s first go to the hospital to confirm Nanny

White’s situation, then discuss other matters.’

After all, Eleanor Armstrong was the head of the household.

She knew that they should not jump to conclusions about this matter and needed to stabilize Nanny White’s emotions first. Sophie said, “I’ll go find out.”

Eleanor Armstrong pressed her temples, “Go on.”

Soon, Sophie found out the hospital Nanny White was at.

“Mom, Nanny White is in The Third Hospital.”

Eleanor Armstrong nodded, “I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes, and then we’ll leave right away.”

“Alright.”

Charlotte Young and Sophie each returned to their rooms to change their clothes.

When Eleanor Armstrong got back to her room and was about to change her clothes, she saw the Beauty Pills that Harlan Lentz had put away. Angrily, she immediately picked up the items and threw them directly into the trash bin.

Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at The Third Hospital.

After asking around, they found the ward Nanny White was in.

The ward was on the third floor.

It was noisy with people’s voices.

As Nanny White was an ordinary person, she couldn’t afford a VIP room. Charlotte Young frowned as she looked at the surroundings.

If one day she were to get sick and had to stay in such a ward, she would rather die.

Eleanor Armstrong stood in front of the ward and knocked on the door.

Soon. the door opened

The man who opened the door was a middle-aged man with a full beard. When he saw the graceful Eleanor Armstrong, he instinctively stepped back a few steps, “H-hello, who are you looking for?”

Eleanor Armstrong smiled and said, “Hello, I’m looking for Zhang Guixiang (Nanny White).”

Hearing this, Maggie turned her head to look at the ward, “Guixiang, someone’s looking for you.”

Then she turned back to Eleanor Armstrong, “I’m Zhang Guixiangs husband, Wang Jinshui.”

Eleanor Armstrong nodded, “Can I go in now?”

“Of course, of course.’

Maggie immediately stepped aside to let them pass.

Eleanor Armstrong walked in, followed immediately by Charlotte Young and Sophie.

As the hospital-bound Nanny White saw Eleanor Armstrong and her daughter-in-law, she appeared a bit bewildered.

“Ma’am, Young Madams, h-how did you all come here?”

Contrary to expectations, Nanny White’s face didn’t look very weak; instead, it was flushed with a hint of red. If it weren’t for the IV drip attached to her arm, one wouldn’t have been able to tell she was a patient at all.

“Nanny White, are you okay?” Charlotte Young continued, “l told you long ago that those Beauty Pills were suspicious, and you shouldn’t take them. But you wouldn’t listen. Do you regret it now?”

Eleanor Armstrong looked at Nanny White and said, “Don’t worry, Nanny White. We, the Lentz Clan, will not sit idly by and let this matter go; we will definitely seek justice for you.”

After all, Viola Thompson was still Terrence Lentz’s fiancée.

Finishing her sentence, Eleanor Armstrong added, “I will have Viola Thompson come and apologize to you personally.”

Upon hearing this,

Nanny White seemed a bit confused, “Ma’am, d-did you all misunderstand something? I’m just in here for my appendectomy.”

Appendectomy?

As these words came out, the ward fell quiet for a moment.

Eleanor Armstrong looked at Charlotte Young.

Charlotte Young in turn stared at Nanny White, quickly asking, “You mean you weren’t hospitalized because you ate those Beauty Pills?”

Nanny White shook her head, “No. I was admitted because my appendix suddenly flared up! Plus. the effects of Miss Thomoson’s Beauty Pills are great. Just look at my skin now, isn’t it like I’ve undergone a complete transformation?”

Under the light, the speckles and freckles on Nanny White’s face had vanished, replaced by smooth, fair, and moist skin.

Her complexion was excellent.

Eleanor Armstrong looked on, somewhat taken aback.

She could hardly believe that this was the effect of the Beauty Pills.

Charlotte Young was even more incredulous. She continued, “Nanny White, don’t get too happy too soon. Your appendicitis might’ve been caused by the Beauty Pills. Why don’t you get a full body check-up just in case!’

“A full body check-up?” That would be so expensive!

Nanny White hesitated.

Eleanor Armstrong noticed Nanny White’s hesitation and reassured her, “Don’t worry, our Lentz Clan will cover the cost. I’ll contact the doctor to arrange it right away.”

With that, she pulled out her phone.

Eleanor Armstrong was acquainted with the dean of the hospital. Within the half hour, the dean came personally to Nanny White’s ward and arranged a full body check-up for her.

The check-up involved many tests and took a long time.

Three hours later, they had all the test results in hand.

With the test results in hand, the dean said, “Mrs. Lentz, you don’t need to worry. Besides appendicitis, the patient is completely normal. Moreover, due to taking the Beauty Pills, even her hormonal imbalance has improved significantly. The pigmentation on her face has been cleared.”

When Eleanor Armstrong heard this, her face showed a mix of emotions. After a long while, she asked, “So, the Beauty Pills are fine?”

The dean nodded, “Not only are they fine, but they’re also very friendly to women.” The Beauty Pills were simply every woman’s savior.

With that statement, the dean continued, ‘1 1 thought only the Beauty Pills of Divine Doctor Suwen were potent. 1 never imagined that someone could completely replicate the formula. It’s amazing!’

Eleanor Armstrong was left dumbfounded on the spot.

Sophie and Charlotte Young, who were nearby, were also at a loss for words.

No one had expected this outcome at all.

During the ride back home, the three women remained silent.

The first thing Eleanor Armstrong did when she got home was to rummage through the trash bin.

However, the garbage bags had just been replaced, and the bin was empty.

Eleanor Armstrongs face turned pale. She immediately called the housekeeper to inquire who had cleaned the trash bin earlier.

The housekeeper replied, “It was Nanny Crabtree.”

Eleanor Armstrong said, “Get Nanny Crabtree to come to my room right away.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Nanny Crabtree arrived quickly.

Eleanor Armstrong asked, “Nanny Crabtree, did you see a box in the trash bin just now?”

“l saw it?” Nanny Crabtree nodded.

“Did you save the contents of the box?”

Nanny Crabtree shook her head, “l heard that those Beauty Pills were poisonous and that Nanny White was hospitalized because of them, so I threw them away.”

Thrown away!

Upon hearing that, Eleanor Armstrong could no longer say anything more. She immediately turned and rushed toward the door.

She needed to find those pills in the garbage room.

No one knew just how much Eleanor Armstrong regretted her actions right now.

Charlotte Young and Sophie were also full of regret, sighing as they sat on the living room sofa.

At that moment, Terrence Lentz walked in from outside.

Seeing Terrence Lentz, Sophie’s eyes lit up as if she’d found hope. She immediately went to greet him with a smile, “The third son, you’re back..”
