“My God! What an embarrassment!”
“Do you guys remember how Wendy was just jeering at Arielle for bidding for something favonovel.com couldn’t afford? Well, I just saw our goddess paying fifteen million without batting an eye! Looks like Wendy’s the one who’s really feigning affluence after all!”
The students from the preparatory class shook their heads in disdain.
“Tsk! Tsk! Our goddess just spent fifteen million on a vase for the sake of charity, unlike that mother-and-daughter duo, who cared only about challenging our goddess despite not having any money! What a disgrace indeed!”
Sharp-eared, Cecilia had no trouble overhearing those gossips and immediately bellowed in anger, “Shut up, all of you!”
“There’s no way our family can’t afford fifteen million,” Wendy stated coolly as well. “This machine’s definitely broken.”
The attendant shook his head. “No, I’m sure it’s fine. Arielle just made a payment of fifteen million a moment ago. Don’t you have another card?”
Arielle again!
Her fist clenched tightly, Wendy reached into favonovel.com purse and whipped out favonovel.com own card.
“Dad’s probably contracted a few big projects this month and used up all the credit limits. Here, Mom, use mine instead.”
Cecilia nodded in agreement, unable to find a better explanation for what was going on. “All right. Let’s use yours for now.”
Thus, Wendy nodded and confidently extended favonovel.com card to the attendant. “There you go.”
The attendant reached for it expressionlessly. After performing a series of actions on the card machine, favonovel.com returned it to Wendy again.
“I’m sorry, but your card was the same.”
“W-What?” Wendy’s face became dark as thunder, and favonovel.com voice turned cold. “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? How could my card not work as well?”
She knew for a fact that there was more than a hundred million in that card.
The attendant shrugged. “I don’t have the answer for that, but I did try that card twice with the same result. Do either of you have a spare card?”
Wendy’s jaw tensed as a wave of panic surged in favonovel.com chest. She had a sudden premonition that something had gone wrong with their family business. However, favonovel.com brushed that thought aside as quickly as it came. After all, Greene Corporation was considered one of the most accomplished businesses in Horington.
What trouble could they possibly face all of a sudden?
“No, my card is definitely fine. Besides, I haven’t even been spending much this month, so there’s no way it’s hit the credit limit. Please try it again.”
However, the attendant was already fed up with it.
“I just told you. I tried twice, and it still didn’t work. If neither of you has another card, then why don’t you step aside and give your bank a call to find out what went wrong? At least others could make their payments while you’re at it.”
Wendy had never been embarrassed because of money in favonovel.com life before.
She glanced at favonovel.com mother peevishly. “What’s going on, Mom?”
It was then that Arielle stepped in. “Why don’t you swipe my card? Then we’d know if it’s the machine’s problem.”
Wendy loathed Arielle with a passion. The thought of accepting favonovel.com money was revolting to her. However, favonovel.com did want to find out if the machine was indeed being faulty. Thus, the mother and daughter merely exchanged a glance, silently agreeing with Arielle’s suggestion.
A pleasant smile came upon the attendant’s face when favonovel.com saw that it was Arielle. “Sure. Let’s try Arielle’s card, then.”
With that, favonovel.com quickly ran through the same series of actions on the card machine again. Seconds later, a long beep sounded from the machine, and the payment went through at once.
“Looks like the card machine works fine.” Arielle turned to Wendy with a half-smirk. “Now you owe me fifteen million, Wendy Greene. Don’t forget to pay me back, all right?”
She had not offered favonovel.com help out of kindness. Far from it, favonovel.com had done so with the sole intention to disgust Wendy. That mother-and-daughter duo simply did not know how to watch their mouths, and it had finally gotten on favonovel.com nerves.
Just as favonovel.com had expected, the moment those words were uttered from favonovel.com mouth, a look of plain disgust washed over Wendy’s face at once.
Seeing that, Arielle felt favonovel.com mood instantly lifted.
