The saleswoman noticed the customers and greeted them warmly, "You have great taste! This is the Angel Black handbag, created by a renowned designer. It suits you perfectly." "I think so too." Kelly nodded shamelessly. She had never bought a designer bag before despite being from an affluent family. While she usually wasn't materialistic, she wanted to let loose and be a little extravagant now that she was out with Summer.But when Kelly looked at the price tag, she was stunned to see it cost 30 thousand dollars, even a few months of her salary barely totaled up to 30 grand. Buying the bag meant she had to live frugally for several months. Upon the shocking realization, she couldn't afford it at all. "Summie, come here." Kelly waved Summer over."What's wrong?" Summer was confused as she approached."Look at the price."Summer wondered what could be wrong with the price, and she immediately panicked when she saw the price tag.Although she usually purchased branded items, th
300 grand. That was two years of salary for a white-collar worker who worked tirelessly without a moment of rest. Although Summer could afford it, she didn't dare to.Kelly also noticed the price, feeling petrified. To give herself a way out, she smiled and said to the saleswoman, "It looks ordinary.""Yeah," Summer added cooperatively. Being best friends, they could read each other's thoughts with just a glance. Seeing how expensive the handbag was, they both felt the urge to leave and made an excuse to escape.Quick-witted as ever, Kelly suddenly acted as if something had come to mind. She continued, "Oh, I just remembered. There's a package that I have to pick up at the post office. Come on, Summie. Let's go collect it.""Okay."Then, two of them promptly left the store with faces flushed with mortification. They had originally intended to have a good time shopping but were too financially constrained.Unexpectedly, as they walked out of the store, Kelly stumbled on the slippe
What an unlucky day. Summer had hoped to lift her spirits by going on a shopping spree, but she ended up empty-handed and even met with misfortune.Similarly, Kelly felt powerless. It was incredibly unlucky that she had slipped and fallen on her way out of the store. Now, she had to pay 100 grand for breaking the vase. Even if she could afford it, she didn't have enough money with her."How about this? I'll leave my business card here. Give me a few days, and I'll come back to pay the full price," Kelly negotiated, as she had no cash.The saleswoman spoke up before the manager could, "Blaire, they don't have the money to begin with. What use is there of leaving her contact information behind? They'll just leave without paying. "Blaire Wilson, the manager, thought so too. There were all sorts of people in this society, and she couldn't be sure whether Kelly would keep her word. After all, they weren't obligated to return if they left their contact details at the store."Miss, you
Regardless of her doubts, Blaire treated the card with caution and swiped it into the POS machine. Surprisingly, the payment was successful!The spending limit of a Golden Card was ten million dollars, so 100 grand was a small amount in comparison. It also proved that the card was genuine.Immediately after, Blaire became very frightened at the thought that she had offended the card's owner. Thus, she courteously returned it to Summer.Blaire's angry and disdainful expression from moments before was now replaced by one of deference. She handed over the card and uttered gently, "Miss, the compensation for the Celestial Jade Vase has been fulfilled. I'm sorry that this unpleasant incident happened to you in our store."Summer and Kelly, on the other hand, were equally baffled. Neither of them had expected that the card payment would be successful.Kelly had assumed the black card was just an ordinary card, but she had been proven wrong. She asked in amazement, "Summie, what is this
Nevertheless, Summer didn't have to worry about anything at this point. Kelly was her best friend, and friendship was more precious to Summer than any amount of money.So, they both bought the designer handbag that had caught Kelly's eye earlier.The saleswoman who had acted domineeringly a few moments before politely handed the shopping bags to Summer and Kelly with her head lowered. Her flattery undoubtedly made the two of them feel satisfied.As they made their way out of the store, Blaire and the saleswoman bid warmly, "Thank you, and please come again."At that moment, Summer and Kelly genuinely understood the power of having money.While walking down the street, Kelly remarked with a laugh, "Summie, did you see how confused the saleswoman looked just now? Haha!""Yeah, I saw."Both the saleswoman and Blaire, who thought that Summer and Kelly were poor, had their minds boggled at the sight of the Golden Card.However, Summer felt a sense of guilt after spending the money.
James was a so-called perfect man. Although Summer didn't share the same sentiment, he really was outstanding. He was both handsome and wealthy. There are very few who could beat him in both aspects.Summer was still concerned about Kelly's love life, so she said assuringly, "Don't worry. I will help you find someone as good as James!"In fact, Summer already had a candidate in mind.Since James was from one of the four major prestigious families, there had to be someone with similar qualifications from one of those households.Bradly Walsh was one of them. Hence, Summer planned to talk to James about it upon returning home to see whether she could bring Bradly and Kelly together.As night fell, Summer and Kelly watched another movie after dinner and then divided their purchases. By the time Summer arrived home, it was already very late.In the lobby of the apartment, James was reading a book in his black and white patterned pajamas. When he saw Summer, he asked coldly, "Where di
It couldn't be helped though. It was easy to lose one's mind and succumb to impulses, buying whatever caught the eye. Summer was the perfect example, as she couldn't control herself from spending wildly. She typically tossed the bill onto the table and declared that she had spent a small amount. If James minded so much, she would pay him back. However, in reality, she couldn't say that. She would never be able to cover nine million dollars, even if she sold her organs!Charter Corporation's annual profit was meager, only tens of millions. Summer had used up the entire company's yearly profit in one shopping spree. She wondered why she didn't feel more anxious.Summer hung her head like a deflated balloon and asked tentatively, "James, you're not thinking of making me pay the money back, are you?""No. The card is for you to use."Immediately, Summer relaxed upon having received James' assurance. If he truly intended for her to pay it back, she wouldn't be able to. Just as she w
But to be honest, Summer couldn't resist. James' cold and handsome face had an irresistible charm, like a delicious dessert that one couldn't bear to put down after tasting it once.While Summer was lost in her wild thoughts, James leaned into her ear. Unexpectedly, he did not kiss her but whispered, "You are my wife. Even if you take Quigley Group apart, I would accept it willingly."His words were like Cupid's arrow, piercing right through her heart. Summer never expected James to say something like that.Any other girl would have thrown themselves into his arms. However, Summer was not naïve. After a dazed pause, she immediately snapped out of it and shoved James away. "Hmph, we are husband and wife. It's normal to use your money. Spare me the sweet talk."James did not respond. He stood still, gazing at Summer with a pair of bright eyes."What are you looking at? Am I wrong?" Summer asked firmly."You're right.""Very well then. Don't worry, Mr. Quigley. I promise I won'
