Chapter 32
Rose with Thorns
Chapter 32 When Yvette uttered those words, it shocked Yasmin and her group. Their faces instantly turned pale. If Yvette wasnât treating them, then who would foot the bill for the 87 million dollars?
âWhat do you mean, Yvie?â Yasmin was the first to accuse her. âYou promised to treat sat everyone. Itâs not fair to back out now.â
âYeah, Yvette. You agreed to treat us, and now youâre going back on your word? How shameless!â the other socialites chimed in.
Yvette stood tall. Though her face was expressionless, she emanated an oppressive air. âI never agreed to treat anyone. You all made assumptions on your own.â S~á´aÊá´h the FɪndNová´l.ná´t website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The socialites, intimidated by her presence, instinctively took a step back. Upon reflection, they realized that Yvette had indeed never agreed to treat them.
Yasminâs face tumed sour. She never expected Yvette to be so shameless as to refuse to treat them âYvie, what do we do now? Weâve already put on the jewelry, and thereâs no way to get a refund â
Yasmin tried to play the victim, but before she could finish, Yvette interrupted impatiently. âItâs none of my business.â
Yasmin was rendered speechless by Yvetteâs blunt response. Her fece darkened considerably.
âIâm leaving now. Settle the bill yourselves â Yvetteâs lips curled into a mocking smile. Before leaving, she offered a piece of advice to the shop assistant. âIf they refuse to pay, call the police.â
The shop assistant reacted swiftly. She cast a grateful glance at Yvette before saying, âIf you donât pay now, Iâll have to call the police.â
Hearing the threat of police involvement, the socialites panicked. Getting taken to the police station would be a huge embarrassment.
âYas, we took the jewelry because you said Yvette was treating us. You have to sort this out.â
âYeah, we donât want to end up in the police station. You said Yvette was treating us, so you settle the bill.â
âExactly! Yes, you have to settle the bill,â
With each person pressuring her to pay, Yasminâs face tumed paler by the second, and she felt unsteady on her feet.
The shop assistant looked at her disdainfully. âMs. Murray, donât tell me you canât afford 87 million dollars. If you canât, Iâll have to call the police.â
âDonât underestimate Yas. The Murray family is the wealthiest family in Jublife City, and Yas is their favorite child. How could she not afford $7 million dollars?â
âThatâs right. The Murray family is so rich. 87 million dollars is nothing to Yas. Just wait. Sheâll pay and prove you wrong.â
Each word from the socialites only made Yasminâs face even more strained. After all, she didnât have that much money.
Although the Murray family was the wealthiest family in Jubilife City, Yara and Irwin were frugal. They imposed financial limits on their children to ensure they wouldnât spend recklessly.
Yasminâs monthly allowance was only a few million dollars, and she was used to spending extravagantly. Not only did she indulge in luxury goods for herself, but she also engaged in social events.
As a result, she had already spent most of her money this month. She had no way to pay the 87 million dollars now.
Yasmin tot like she was on a knifeâs edge, unable to retreat. Her resentment toward Yvette grew even deeper.
âThis is all that bitchâs fault!â she cursed in her mind.
