prepositions - Meaning of “She wheedled her mother into buying John a mink coat ”?


What does "She wheedled her mother into buying John a mink coat" mean?


Does it mean "She wheedled her mother and her mother bought a mink coat and her mother gave John a mink coat" or "She wheedled her mother and her mother bought a mink coat from John"?



I think "wheedle" is "persuade"
