Nora raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them.
She realized that the Smiths were really very interesting indeed.
Quentin was a second generation teenager who liked to fight. He always seemed like he was the only one in the world.
Warren was a goofball. After interacting with him, she realized that, although this guy was fierce in front of her on the surface, he was actually pretty good with her.
As for this Louisâ¦he looked two years younger than her and should be a younger brother. At first glance, he didnât have a good education, but in reality, he seemed to be competent.
Just as she was thinking, Louis looked at her. âYou really want me to acknowledge you, donât you? Then, sister, why donât you give me your monthly allowance this month?â
When he said this, Nora raised her eyebrows.
Borrowing money on their first meeting?
She was about to say something when Yvonne frowned. âLouis, even though itâs only $1,500, you eat and stay home, isnât that enough?â
âHow is it going to be enough?â Louis said indignantly, âDonât you need money to go to an Internet cafe? Donât you need money to buy equipment? Donât you need money to get a new avatar in the game? $1,500 isnât even enough for me to survive for two days?â
Yvonne sighed. âBut Nora has even less money. She used to live with⦠the Andersons. Besides, before she went back to the Andersons, she was in California.â
Louis looked Nora up and down with disdain. âBut youâre quite beautiful. At least youâre more pleasing to the eye than Yvonne!â.
Yvonne: â!!!â
She bit her lip and lowered her gaze. Her tone was a bit cold. âNoraâs bank card wasnât reported this month, so she has no money. She canât seem to lend it to you.â
ââ¦No money?â
Louisâ eyes widened. âYvonne, whatâs wrong with you? Itâs okay for you to bully me, but why are you bullying a girl who just got here? Iâm a boy and I donât need to buy a bag or a milk tea. Itâs okay if I donât have money. but how can you let her live empty handed? Are you jealous of her because she looks better than you?â
Yvonne: â!!!â
She had really done it on purpose.
It wasnât that she didnât want to give him money. It was just that it seemed to her that the attitude of the familyâs siblings toward Nora was not as she had imagined.
Besides, if she didnât have money on hand, it would be awkward for her to do anything outside in the future. She was doing it to restrain Nora.
However, Louisâ direct words made her look very bad.
His face turned cold. âIâll send Nora the money tomorrow. Then, two days later, this monthâs money will be in her account! However, Louis, you sure wonât be able to get any money here! The amount of money given to everyone each month is decided by Joel. If you dare, look for Joel. Donât ask me.â
Louis tugged at his bandolier and pointed at Yvonne. âYou win!â
With that, he turned and walked away.
However, after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and stood in front of Nora. His pair of fierce eyes appraised her.
Nora: â?â
She raised her eyebrows and looked down at herself. She was dressed nicely today. The pajamas she was wearing were linen, more breathable. It was very comfortable to wear, and it was a custom design Lily had bought for her.
She didnât have much else to wear other than pajamas.
As she was thinking, Louis suddenly opened his shoulder bag and pulled out his wallet. Inside was a pile of money.
When the money arrived today, he had taken it out in a hurry.
He didnât want his brother to re-stamp the card at Yvonneâs instigation, but he hadnât expected it to be only $1,500.
He counted the money, took out $700, and put it in Noraâs hands. âTake this moneyâ¦â
With that, she looked at Yvonne and scoffed, âThe Smithsâ young lady is so poor she doesnât even have clothes. She can only wear pajamas. It wouldnât do to get the word out, would it? Sheâs been home for a few days, but you havenât gotten anyone to come and take her measurements?â
Yvonne: â!!!â
Yvonne bit her lip.
Because of Louisâ arrival, the servants cleaning in the living room peeked in.
Yvonne felt extremely embarrassed to have her ugly thoughts exposed in public.
Yes, she deliberately did not make clothes for Nora.
It was so that when she went out in the future, she wouldnât have any good dresses. When the time came, she would ask Justin or be embarrassed.
However, if she asked Justin for a dress, she would also be scorned?
At the time, she could only say that she had overlooked this matter.
However, now that Louis had pointed it out, she could no longer pretend that she had overlooked it. She immediately smiled, âYouâre right. I have been careless. Madame Florence, immediately contact some major brands and have them send you the current seasonâs clothes.â
After saying that, she looked at Nora. âNora, it takes a long time to customize the clothes. I will first buy some finished goods for you to wear. Actually, some finished garments also look very good. I will choose two pieces each quarter.â
At this point, she smiled, âMadame Florence, it looks like we havenât picked out any clothes at home this month! How about this? Tell Maureen and the others to come and see tonight if they want new clothes. Have the clothes delivered to us to-night and let each one choose what she wants!â
Nora raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, âYou can even come here to buy clothes?â
When she was young, all her clothes were made for her by her stepmother. Most were from California, but she wasnât picky about clothes.
When she went overseas, her aunt and Lily prepared all her daily necessities. She wore comfortable clothes and had never bought them, so she didnât know any of this.
Florenceâs lips curved as she lifted her chin slightly. âThe Smith family is an important customer for all the big luxury brands. Every season when they launch new products, they give them to the Smiths and the Huntsâ ladies to choose from. If the Smiths and the Hunts donât like them, they sell them.â
Nora nodded in understanding. ââ¦Oh.â
Seeing that she didnât look stunned, Florence pursed her lips.
Louis winked at Nora. âPick out a few more pieces when the time comes! Even if you donât wear them, you can trade them for money! I promise I wonât cheat you.â
Nora: ââ¦â
She looked at the $700 in her hand and handed it back to Louis.
Louis was stunned. âYou donât want it?â
Nora nodded her head.
Louis frowned. âWhat, you think itâs too little?â
Nora shook her head. âI donât need it.â
Louis frowned even more intensely and looked at Yvonne. He leaned in front of her and whispered, âEven if you donât need money to eat or drink, itâs still useful. Keep it⦠Are you afraid Iâll ask you to give it back to me? Donât worry, what I said was just a jokeâ¦â
Just as he said this, Nora interrupted himâ¦. âWhat I mean is, I have money.â
