“Emily, where’s the card?”
Evelyn Hanson nudged Emily Parker, hinting for her to bring out the bank card Carlos had given her.
“It’s in the car.”
Emily Parker patted her eco-friendly bag.
Evelyn Hanson clenched her teeth, deciding that she could go without buying clothes or dining out this month.
Just as she was about to reach for her own card, Emily Parker stopped her hand.
“What’s wrong?
Ran out of money, have you?
If you have no money, you shouldn’t be shopping at such high-end department stores.”
Sophie Parker sneered.
“Emily Parker, cut it out.
These clothes, they’re not suiting for you.”
Adam Willow looked away from Emily Parker.
He thought that with Emily working at the hospital every day, she really didn’t need to buy such flashy clothes.
It was just too ostentatious.
A skirt for 11,000?
Adam Willow calculated; that amount could cover a year’s worth of clothing for his mother and sister.
Or was it, as Sophie said, that out of spite for unrequited love, she had impulsively gone after a wealthy second-generation heir?
When Adam Willow considered the possibility that Emily Parker might truly have a new boyfriend for whom she dressed up, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Emily Parker looked coldly at Sophie Parker and at Adam Willow beside her.
She chuckled,
“I, on the other hand, think these clothes suit me perfectly.
Before, I must have been blind to have thought those cheap clothes worth a hundred bucks were good.
It wasn’t until I tried something new, I realized—only a 10,000-dollar skirt fits me.
I’ll take all of these pieces.”
Adam Willow was stunned.
“Emily Parker, stop pretending and putting on airs.
I’m telling you now, whatever amount you can buy today, I’ll match it.
I just have my doubts whether your card can even cover that amount.”
As she spoke, Sophie Parker purposefully pulled a gold card from her designer purse, an auxiliary card her mother had given her with a credit limit of several hundred thousand.
Sophie Parker simply did not believe Emily could or would be so extravagant.
When Emily Parker had first arrived at the Parker Family, her clothes were shabby, and neither Father Parker nor Mother Parker ever gave her spending money.
The decrepit house left to her by her late mother was even less valuable.
Unless Emily Parker’s boyfriend was willing to spend a hundred thousand on these skirts for her, she would be embarrassed in front of Adam Willow today.
Emily Parker took out a black bank card and handed it to the sales associate.
Sophie Parker took a closer look at that bank card.
It was unfamiliar, not from one of the major banks, and had a strange design, with just a string of numbers—likely, it belonged to Emily Parker’s boyfriend.
“So you’re really planning to buy them?
A man who drives a mid-tier car worth a few hundred thousand is hardly rich.
Wait until he gets the bank’s spending alert, seeing you’ve blown a hundred thousand of his money in one go, he’s probably going to break up with you tonight.”
Sophie Parker said with schadenfreude.
The sales associate took the bank card to process the payment.
“Emily Parker, stop this foolishness.
Even if you’re angry, there should be a limit.”
Adam Willow thought Emily Parker was acting out of sheer irritation, indulging in revenge spending.
After a while, the sales associate came back, rushing over to Emily Parker,
“Miss, I’m terribly sorry, your card…”
The sales associate hesitated, handing the bank card back to Emily Parker.
“I knew it, she couldn’t afford it.
Doesn’t your card even have a hundred thousand?
If you can’t even spend a hundred thousand, looks like your boyfriend isn’t all that.”
As Sophie Parker spoke, the cashier quickly interjected,
“Miss, your bank card won’t be needed.
Someone has already taken care of your bill.
Moreover, the gentleman also said he’ll take all the store’s new arrivals, totaling 1.08 million.
He has covered it all.
Your clothes will be packed shortly, would you like them delivered to your home, or to take them with you?”
Several sales associates gathered around Emily Parker, showing great respect.
They are all brand store assistants, who normally maintain a composed demeanor even when serving wealthy ladies, but now they seemed to be bending over backward for Emily Parker.
“What?
He took all of it?
1.08 million?”
Sophie Parker, who had been scoffing just a moment ago, felt as if she had been slapped across the face, seeing stars.
“Are you guys mistaken?
Her boyfriend only drives a 300,000 car.
How could he possibly afford to buy over a million in new clothes?”
Sophie Parker exclaimed it was impossible.
Her dad is a high-ranking official in the health department, and her maternal family is decent too, but at most, her family is just above average in Capital.
Sophie Parker gets ten thousand a month for spending money.
Occasionally buying a ten-thousand-dollar bag is already really good for her, spending a million on so many clothes, to Sophie Parker, this is very extravagant.
Adam Willow frowned too, also finding it hard to believe.
Before, Adam Willow always felt that Emily Parker was different from other women, never liking any branded bags or designer clothes.
How has she changed, when did she become so vain?
“You found a lousy man for yourself and think everyone else’s man is also no good?
Emily’s man is quite something, would scare you to death if you heard. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Sophie, didn’t you speak loudly just now?
I’ve recorded it all.
How did you put it?
Whatever Emily buys, you’ll buy the same.”
Saying this, Evelyn Hanson brought out her phone and played the recording.
Hearing her own voice from the phone, Sophie Parker ground her teeth in anger.
Emily Parker’s man has spent over a million for her, but she has Adam Willow…
Sophie Parker looked to Adam Willow for help, but Adam Willow remained silent.
Emily Parker sneered inwardly.
Adam Willow is a very frugal person.
Over the many years they knew each other, Adam Willow almost never bought her any expensive gifts, any gift was always under five hundred.
“Sophie, didn’t you say your parents dote on you?
Let me kindly remind you, Adam Willow’s mother has high standards.
The daughter-in-law she wants must be from a distinguished family, willing to give her heart and soul to the Willow Family.”
Emily Parker’s face was full of scorn, Grace Willow had always opposed her relationship with Adam Willow, simply because she was an adopted daughter of the Parker Family, not esteemed enough.
Upon hearing this, Sophie Parker couldn’t let the Willow Family look down on her now that she had finally become Adam Willow’s girlfriend.
She is to be the future Young Mistress of the wealthiest family, with assets worth over a hundred billion.
What’s spending over a million in comparison?
She bit her lip and took out her own bank card and her mother’s credit card, handing them to the cashier.
“Whatever she bought, I want it all.
1.08 million, not a penny less.”
“Miss, I’m sorry.
Many of the clothes that young lady purchased are exclusive limited-edition pieces in our store, there are only a few in the whole world, and just one in the entire Capital.
However, the other styles we have in the store are also very nice and would suit you well.”
The sales associates said while bringing out some clothes.
Sophie Parker looked them over and felt very satisfied.
Emily Parker glanced at them, those dresses were all outdated and not at all suitable for Sophie Parker.
But Sophie Parker had no clue, and with a swipe of the card, she really spent 1.08 million.
Sophie Parker was too focused on competing with Emily Parker and didn’t notice Adam Willow beside her, his complexion very unsightly.
Emily Parker and Evelyn Hanson walked out carrying their big and small bags.
Sophie Parker and Adam Willow also walked out carrying a bunch of shopping bags.
As they approached the elevator, they saw a man approaching rapidly from ahead.
“Why are you here?”
Seeing the newcomer, Emily Parker was full of astonishment.
