The Baddest Villainess Is Back - Chapter 133
After contemplating for a moment, Roxelyn spoke.
“If I help you, you have to help me too.”
“Of course! Whether things go well or not, I am your maid.”
“Right.”
Roxelyn glanced at her name tag and nodded.
“Jena.”
“…Oh my, you knew my name.”
She said with a moved expression.
‘No, I just saw your name tag.’
Had she forgotten that she wore her name tag prominently on her chest?
Roxelyn thought indifferently but didn’t bother to deny it and nodded.
It was always good to earn points.
“Okay, then go with this one.”
Roxelyn chose the rough-looking paper out of the two.
Right now, the business hadn’t even started, so it looked like they were begging for investments everywhere, but later it would become a perfumery that swept the empire.
However, the person selling it was a complete scientist with messy hair…
It was said he struggled in the early stages of the business because he was a weirdo who could do nothing but invent.
“This one?”
The maid looked puzzled.
“Yeah.”
At Roxelyn’s words, the maid tilted her head slightly.
‘Well, who would invest after looking at this kind of paper?’
Roxelyn clicked her tongue inwardly.
The only reason this scientist wanted to sell perfume was because he lacked research funds.
The business, which started with small investments, took several years to get on track, but it eventually became a huge success.
The perfume had the effect of removing blemishes from the skin and hydrating a dry face.
‘Come to think of it, there must still be plenty of investment opportunities around this time.’
Roxelyn gauged the time she had available.
‘Investing early will surely be helpful.’
Roxelyn smiled brightly.
The maid’s eyes widened in surprise at Roxelyn’s smile.
“You can make the investment decision youwself.”
The maid opened the door that Roxelyn pointed to.
“I’ll come to fetch you later, Miss.”
“Okay.”
As Roxelyn entered the conference room, the maid, who had smiled calmly, hurriedly grabbed the paper and turned around.
‘This is jackpot information!’
The maid, who was about to run down the hallway, remembered the mansion’s rules and walked away at a pace almost as fast as running.

“…Roxelyn?”
“Good muhning, Fathew.”
Or rather, is it afternoon?
Roxelyn lightly greeted Zerti Bellion, who was seated at the head of the conference table.
‘It’s just a guess, but there’s a high chance I’ll return to my original world when the owner of this body regains consciousness.’
Gerun Wilfred once explained that for one’s soul to settle in a parallel world’s body, that body had to be vacant.
Roxelyn had grown up without dying.
That meant the Roxelyn of this world would grow up safely too.
As long as the current Roxelyn existed and was alive, the past where ‘she lived’ would not change.
Probably.
Roxelyn indifferently received the stares from the people in the conference room as she walked towards Zerti Bellion and stood before him with her arms outstretched.
“Thewe’s no seat, so could I bowwow youw lap, Fathew?”
“What? When did I ever give you permission to come here…?”
“A daughtew is visiting hew fathew. Don’t you know what being spoiled means?”
Zerti looked down at Roxelyn with an expression that seemed to ask what kind of child this was.
“My awms are getting ti-uhed.”
With a reluctant face, Zerti awkwardly picked Roxelyn up and sat her on his lap.
“Why are you here?”
“Just because.”
In truth, she couldn’t say she had come from the future to prevent her father from going on a rampage today.
“…Go back.”
“No.”
“…Roxelyn!”
Roxelyn yawned.
Zerti hesitated at his daughter’s blatant disregard.
“Just stay quiet. Tell me if you feel unwell.”
“Okay.”
Roxelyn nodded.
Pitying glances were cast towards her, and Zerti’s expression wasn’t pleasant.
“Since things have come to this, let’s finish the agenda quickly.”
“As I mentioned, it’s about the business investment. I believe we should invest in this construction project.”
“Ha! That construction project has many issues! For a business, it’s obviously the lodging business!”
“No, with the increasing number of travelers, if you are to invest in the lodging business, you should also consider this food business…”
What nonsense.
