Celeste had <b>a </b>good idea of <b>what </b>J was thinking.
Just as she was about to say she was fine, Lennox walked in
When she saw J, she snapped, “What are you doing running around? Do you have any idea how long I’ve been looking for you? You’re not answering your phone-”
Before she could finish, she caught sight of Celeste’s back. Her expression immediately turned <b>cold</b>.
Just <b>then</b><b>, </b>a store clerk approached and <b>said </b>to Celeste, “Ma Rodriguez, all the items you requested have been packed. Here’s the receipt. The <b>total </b><bes </b>to 5,897,64/ dors. Please take a look.”
Celeste nodded and took the receipt. They were at Luvienne how. Everything Celeste had purchased was packed and neatly arranged on the floor. There were over 30 shopping bags in total, all lined up.
Celeste checked the bill, confirmed it was correct, and handed over her card to the clerk.
Both Lennox <b>and </b>J were stunned. Celeste had just spent nearly six million dors on clothes?
But Lennox quickly regained herposure. She assumed Celeste was just putting on a show to keep others from thinking she was struggling–pretending to be rich when she wasn’t.
After all, if not for Trevor, given the Locket family’s current financial state, even Wynn wouldn’t be able to spend that kind of money on clothes in a year.
The Rodriguez family was running a deficit now, and Celeste didn’t <b>have </b>any notable abilities. Where would the money being from?
J, however, felt a bit worried. She had heard that while the Rodriguez family hadn’t gone bankrupt, their business wasn’t doing well either. Spending nearly six million dors <b>so </b>casually on clothes–that didn’t sit right with her.
Lennox let out a snort but didn’t say anything. She turned to J and said, “Uncle Harvey’s almost done cooking Are you nning to make everyone wait for you to start dinner? Hurry up.”
J nced at Celeste and gave her a nod before quickly following Lennox out.
She had heard before that the Locket family’s current house had been purchased by Trevor for Lilian, at a price of over 600 million dors. And that figure didn’t even <b>include </b>the cost of the luxurious furniture and decor.
ording to Lennox, therge vase in the living room alone was worth tens of millions of dors. It had been a housewarming gift from Trevor to Wynn.
On top of that, there were plenty of other high–end decorative items throughout the house.
Even though J had been raised in wealth herself, it was still her first time seeing such avish and upscale vi. She was stunned the entire time, walking carefully, affald she might identally knock over somet expensive.
Linda sat casually on the couch, munching on nuts. Seeing how wide–eyed and cautious J looked, she couldn’t help butugh.
Wynn came gracefully down the stairs, Seeing how tense J was, she said indifferently, “They’re just some decorative knick–knacks. Don’t be so nervous. If something gets broken, we’ll just rece it.”
Her tone made it clear that she didn’t care much about any of it.
BONUS
J was speechless. How
J was speechless. How had Wynn be so extravagant so quickly?
Linda grinned proudly. “Trevor has more money than he knows what to do with, and he’s generous with Wynn. If Wynn’s happy, she could smash this stuff every day, and Trevor would still happily buy her more just to make sure she has fun.”
J <b>had </b>no words. She had heard before <b>that </b>Trevor treated Wynn very <b>well</b>–giving her <b>money</b>, shares, connections, and helping the Locket family establish themselves in the capital. But hearing about it was one thing, seeing it with her own eyes was something else entirely.
What made it even harder to swallow was that she had also heard Trevor was extremely stingy with Celeste. When the Rodriguez family ran into trouble, he refused to help at all.
Yet with Wynn, he was this generous.
