Mia headed to the waiting room to make sure the decorations were in place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaya was displeased that she was being ignored. She looked at Shelly next to her. “Shelly, don’t you think | have a point?” There was something awkward about Shelly's expression. She let out a wry cough. “Ms. Lane, about Mia, there's a secret | have to tell you.” “What is it?” Shelly hesitated momentarily. “Can you unfreeze my credit card? | need money lately.” Maya wasn’t happy to hear that. “Shelly, you're quite the spendthrift. | think you should learn to save money or at least how to earn money. You can’t keep asking for money from your family when you're already an adult, can you?” Maya was suppressing her emotions. If it was not for Shelly's status, Maya wouldn't have cared about her, let alone give her a credit card to spend freely.
It was all in her plan to be one of the Barretts successfully.
However, there was nothing Shelly could do to help. The only thing she was best at was splurging money.
Now that Maya's credit card spending limit had been reduced by the Lanes, she had to tighten her belt.
Not getting the answer she expected, Shelly huffed, “Ms. Lane, don’t be so stingy. You're my future sister- in-law.” x] “And that is exactly why I’m doing this. It’s for your own good. No one borrows money from someone distantly related, do they?” Maya figured that Shelly needed a piece of advice so that she could grow up.
Shelly was slightly angry to hear that. “What do you mean by that?” “Shelly, I'm saying this because | see you as family. Oh, didn’t you say that you have a secret about Mia? What is it?” Shelly paused. “Oh, | forgot.” Why would she let the cat out of the bag when Maya froze her credit card and said such harsh words? +15 BONUS Maya wanted to ask further, but Blake called her, “Ms. Lane, we've tracked down Dana, but she ran away from the luxury store. | think she’s at college.” Maya hung up the call in a good mood and looked at Shelly. “The ceremony is starting soon. My brothers will be attending. | have to go. Make yourself at home. Remember to stay out of trouble.” She then left as soon as she said that, fearing that Shelly would demand a hefty sum of money from her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJudging from Shelly's intelligence, Maya reckoned that the secret privy to Shelly wasn’t worth hearing.
She might as well take advantage of Dana instead.
A furious Shelly snorted, thinking, “I was going to tell her that Mia bought the sdress as well, but | guess there's no need for that. Having the sdress isn’t anything to be afraid of. What's worth fearing is who is more of a fashion disaster in it. Now that Mia has found her rich parents, she could be richer than the Lanes in the future.” As an afterthought, Shelly figured that her reasoning made ssense. She turned to look for Mia. “Hey.
| have something to tell you. It’s a secret about Maya.
“I'm not interested. Please make wa way.
“Showsrespect, Mia Bowen.” Shelly blocked off the doorway with an awkward expression. “I've finally seen Maya's true colors. | don’t think she should becmy sister-in-law. You're much better than her. Plus, you've found your rich family. That makes you on the slevel as us.”
