Chapter 137
After the meal, it was naturally Flora who settled the bill.
The total came to over $6,000, and Maddie winced as if it physically pained her. Even though she wasn’t the one paying, it still hurt.
Aaron suggested they go shopping for some clothes for Maddie and Hans.
Maddie, thrilled, dragged Hans to the mall.
Flora looked up at the sign and smiled. What a coincidence. They ended up shopping at her own family’s department store.
Flora was footing the bill, so they didn’t hold back, buying several outfits and even some expensive jewelry.
“Ugh, get away from me, you filthy salesperson. How could you touch the clothes I’m going to buy. If you dirty them, I’m not buying it”
In just a short while, Maddie’s true nature revealed itself–sharp and mean, exuding an air of a nouveau riche. She managed to offend all the salespeople in the shop.
“Miss, how can you be with such people?” A salesperson complained to Flora, puzzled.
They couldn’t understand why Flora would bring such people to the mall.
“As long as they can pay, they’re customers.” Flora lazily said, “They have money, so just guide them to the more expensive items. Just a few harsh words. All for the sake of sales, right? Just remember to speak nicely”
Flora knew Maddie had a substantial sum saved up. Today, she planned to make her spend it all.
“The total is $50,000. Will you be paying in cash or by card?” The salesperson asked with a smile.
“Charge it to her.” Maddie waved her hand towards Flora.
The salesperson caught Flora’s cue and smiled, “Alright, please fill out this form.”
Maddie didn’t understand why she had to fill out a form but thought that a big mall in the city wouldn’t scam them. Perhaps this was how things were done differently here than in smaller places.
Aaron and Maddie thought alike, believing a reputable department store wouldn’t cheat them, so they didn’t come over to check.
Flora watched her sign the form, her eyes narrowing slightly with a smile.
2 2 2 5 = 8
Leaving the clothing store, Maddie entered a jewelry store. In a short spaß, she spent tens of thousands again,
In less than two hours, Maddie had spent over $300,000
“Oh, my legs are killing me. I can’t walk anymore.”
Maddie complained, taking off her shoes right there in public, somatching her feet.
“Then, let’s go buy a car now. I get a driver to take you back later.”
Maddie eagerly nodded, pulling Hans into a taxi, excited to head to the car dealership.
The staff at the dealership were sharp, instantly pegging them as “nouveau riche” and greeted them warmly.
“We want a BMW or a Mercedes. We don’t want anything else. Those other brands are beneath us.”
The dealership staff snickered inwardly. Typical nouveau riche, only knowing about BMW and Mercedes.
Soon, Aaron chose a car. It looked luxurious and prestigious, but to someone experienced like Flora, the car was quite ordinary
Eager to impress his aunt, Aaron decided to register the car in Maddie’s name. After all, with Flora as his financial backer, he wasn’t worried about money
“Oh, you are so considerate. If only Hans could be half as good, I’d die happy” Maddie was overjoyed, unable to hide her glee.
Aaron called Flora over to pay
Flora spread her hands. I’m out of money. I’ve spent it all.”
Aaron frowned, thinking Flora was bluffing, but then he remembered she had indeed spent a lot.
However, he didn’t have enough on him right then.
He had already promised Maddie a car and not being able to pay was embarrassing
“Sir, we have a special offer. If you’re a bit tight on funds right now, you can put down a $20,000 deposit and finance the rest.” The salesman said with a smile, “The interest is very low, and when you have the funds, you can pay off the balance in full.”
“Let’s go with financing then.”
Aaron could manage the $20,000 deposit. He figured once Flora went back and got money from her family, they could pay off the balance in a few days.
Chapter 137
Since the car was registered under Maddie’s name, the loan had to use Maddie’s ID and bank card.
Aaron believed they could pay off the loan quickly and didn’t give it much thought, immediately using Maddie’s bank card.
Flora smiled. She only wanted Maddie’s savings, but Aaron was elming for Maddie’s life.
She stepped aside, pulling out her phone. “Hello, 9117 I want to report extortion and blackmail.”
Maddie was already on a video call, bragging to her entire village.
“You have no idea, Aaron is doing so well in the city. He took me to a five–star restaurant. Look, all these clothes, earrings, necklaces, bracelets… he even bought me a car.”
Maddie boasted non–stop, while on the other end, a crowd of people gathered around the phone, their eyes filled with endless envy.
