LOVE COMING FROM THE LEAST EXPECTED - Season 2 Episode 58

“Well…” The policeman was rendered speechless. “It’s not wrong for you to do that. Are you sure you’re buying the items? If yes, you must pay at this counter. Otherwise, you’ve to follow us to the police station.”

“Yvonne, why did you come up with such a lame excuse? I mean, where on earth can you get so much money? These rubies are worth more than thirty million! It’s futile to make excuses. By the way, it’s fortunate that we don’t have the same mother, or else I dare not meet my friends from today onward.” After Yvette finished, she covered her mouth to chuckle and winked at me provokingly.

“If possible, I wouldn’t even share a father with you! What a filthy woman!” After snickering at her, I began to look for my card in my handbag.

Yvette was fumed but held in her anger. Since I was still looking for my card, she sneered, “Yvonne, you don’t have that much money. I mean, do you think it’s three hundred?”

Then, she leaned in and whispered in my ear, “Why don’t you kneel and beg me? I might be delighted and even pay it for you if you do so. After all, I don’t want everyone to know that I have a sister who steals.”

Now, I finally figured out why Yvette set me up. She wanted to put me in an awkward position: be freed if I beg her or be a thief if I refuse. No matter which option I chose, she could still achieve her motive of causing me trouble.

“Dream on!” I declined it loudly as if I mustered up all of my strength.

Yvette blinked her eyes and spread her arms. “Since you’re so stubborn, there is nothing I can do. Alas, I wonder how many people out there would ridicule you once the news spread. I can’t even imagine how devastating it would be to you.”

“Yvette, come over here and don’t disturb your sister,” Scarlett said to Yvette. Then, she took out a banknote from her bag and said maliciously, “I’m sorry, Eve. Since our family has paid for unexpected expenses recently, I can only help so much. Please look for the rest of the money on your own.”

She handed over a one-hundred banknote to me but intended to drop it once I grabbed it from her. All she wanted was to watch the embarrassing moment when I bowed and picked it up.

However, they miscalculated how things would turn out, for I neither picked up the banknote nor let Scarlett pretend to be the good guy. I said coldly, “Scarlett, you’re indeed a caring wife. The Tanner family has a publicly listed company worth more than a billion. However, you’ve already spent almost all of your money at the beginning of the month.”

To everyone’s surprise, I took out a black card and gave it to the cashier at the counter. “I would like to make the payment.”

Scarlett and Yvette looked at each other shockingly. Shortly afterward, Yvette pursed her lips and said, “Where did you get this card? Could it be expired?”

The cashier changed her attitude toward me after swiping the card. After a while, she handed it back to me in deference and looked astounded.

Although I came from a wealthy family originally, I was no different from those from a slum. Nevertheless, I was aware that some nobles had black cards that perfectly displayed their social status. The cards looked ordinary on the surface, but people in that social circle could instantly tell the difference.

When Christopher gave me the card, he reminded me that I could purchase whatever I wanted. Besides, I could also request a loan whenever I needed it. Back then, I reluctantly accepted the card, for I didn’t want him to be unhappy. I planned not to use it at all, yet the situation today left me with no choice.

“Yvonne, how did you get so much money? Could it be that you stole it?” Yvette yelled.

Meanwhile, Scarlett went even further to provoke me. “Don’t say that. Since Yvonne has many friends from wealthy families, it’s not surprising that she gets one of two cards from them.”

I was furious because they smeared me non-stop. As such, I lifted my arm and slapped Scarlett’s face with all my might.

It was the first time in my life that I hit Scarlett. She was stunned by it.

The next moment, Yvette shrieked and wanted to fight me, “Yvonne, how dare you hit my mom! I swear to beat the hell out of you!”
