When Nora said this, the entire place fell silent.
Yvonne raised her eyebrows.
Louis was even more surprised, but he quickly reacted and asked, “Did the Andersons give it to you?”
“No.”
When she came to stay with the Smiths, Melissa was prepared to give her money. However, Carefree Pill’s repayment had not been fully received yet, and they did not have much on hand.
Melissa had prepared one million dollars. After all, the entire Andersons only had that amount back then.
However, Nora did not want it and had secretly left the card in the room.
Louis was stunned. “Then what are you offering?”
Nora: “My own money.”
Her own… this was the money she earned?
She was just a girl from California. How much money could she have?
However, since she had said so, Louis took back the money and asked, “Can you lend me some money?”
“Alright, how much do you want?”
Nora answered straightforwardly this time.
After all, she was touched that Louis had given her money just now.
Louis: “??”
Yvonne: ??
Even Florence was stunned when she heard this.
She pursed her lips. “Master Louis, can’t you borrow money from someone else? How can you borrow money from Miss Nora?”
Louis immediately raised his chin and said, “Why can’t I borrow money from her? Speaking of which, she’s my sister!”
After saying that, he looked directly at Nora and scratched his blonde hair. “Lend me… 150?”
Nora: “?”
Sensing her gaze, Louis felt that he had called out too little, so he added, “1,500?”
Nora: “?”
“Then… 15,000?”
Louis’s daily expenses every month were around 50,000 dollars. 15,000 dollars was not much to him, but when he thought of Nora’s identity, he was afraid that she would not be able to afford it.
As he was worried, Nora took out a bank card from the pocket of her pajamas. “Take it.”
Louis: “??”
Florence and Yvonne looked at each other and understood.
The few of them felt that Nora actually did not have much money. She was just pretending to be rich.
There could be millions in her bank card, but there could also be hundreds. Giving Louis a bank card would save her face in front of the servants so that others would not mock her for not having money.
She was too smart.
Yvonne pursed her lips.
Louis reacted as well. He took the bank card hurriedly. “Okay, thank you!”
He took the bank card and left the Smiths without even looking at Yvonne.
Yvonne lowered her eyes.
Nora went to change her clothes and was about to leave. When she passed by the living room downstairs, Yvonne saw her and asked, “Nora, where are you going?”
Nora: “…The Hunts.”
Yvonne bit her lips with an injured expression.
Florence said coldly, “Miss Nora, now that you know that you’ve stolen Miss Yvonne’s fiancé, you don’t have to brag about it, right?”
Nora: “?”
Were these two people crazy?
She did not reply to her. Instead, she left with a cold gaze and walked to the door. Florence, who was behind her, still said in a low voice, “Miss Yvonne, don’t lower yourself to her level. I can tell at a glance that she’s the kind of person who flaunts her achievements everywhere. A woman who depends on a man will eventually be unlucky. She’s not like you. You can rely on yourself.”
Nora: “!!”
She stopped in her tracks and turned around suddenly.
Perhaps sensing her movements, Yvonne and Florence looked up.
Nora suddenly smiled. “Then I wish you all the best, and that you receive an email from the Hacker Alliance as soon as possible?”
She left after saying those sarcastic words.
In the living room.
When Yvonne heard this, her heart almost stopped.
For some reason, just now, she felt like Nora had read her mind!
She bit her lip.
Florence frowned. “What does she mean? Is she cursing you for not passing the audit? That’s too much! She looks like a woman who grew up in a small family. She doesn’t look like the Smiths’ daughter at all!”
Yvonne took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in her heart. “Mdm. Florence, don’t mention the Hacker Alliance in front of her. If I’m not accepted, wouldn’t it be a joke?”
However, Florence said matter-of-factly, “How could that be? Your skills are so good, you won’t be rejected. Besides, even if you aren’t accepted, it’s not her turn to mock you! Miss Yvonne, you have to remember that you’re Mr. Smith’s daughter! Even if you’re an adopted daughter, your status is still much higher than hers! Master Ian is the direct descendant!”
“…”
—
Nora did not listen to their conversation anymore. She drove the black car the Smiths had arranged for her to visit Cherry at the Hunts’.
On the way, she suddenly saw Louis squatting by the roadside not far away.
His car stopped at the side.
Nora slowed down and saw Louis holding some food in his hand. He was feeding the stray cats and dogs. At the same time, he was making a call. “… How can this little money I have this month be enough to buy food? Chester, lend me 100,000 dollars!”
“What? Your elder brother deducted your pocket money and blocked your credit card? Why are we still in the same state?!”
“Alright, alright. I understand. I’ll think of something. Sigh!”
After hanging up, he lowered his head in dejection. He looked at his deflated wallet and sighed heavily to the stray cats. “Little friends, you’ll have to suffer with me this month! I only have 1,500 dollars, so I can’t give you anything to eat! Alright, I’ll go buy food first. I have to calculate. 1,500 for thirty days. Does that mean 300 dollars a day? No, 50? Oh my god, 50 dollars can only buy two pieces of meat! That’s not enough for either of you! Sigh, I’m leaving!”
Louis got into the car without even looking at Nora.
Nora: “…”
She drove silently and followed behind Louis. She watched as he entered the cat food store and squatted there, looking at the cans of meat inside like a pitiful puppy.
Nora: “…”
She stopped the car and entered the cat food store. She heard Louis talking to himself. “Little friends, I’m sorry. I can only let you eat your fill of kibbles this month. You won’t be able to eat meat anymore! In the past, we had 3,000 dollars for our meals, but this month, we only have 1,500… Why am I so pitiful?”
Feeding stray cats were supposed to be done within one’s means.
However, Louis had developed feelings for those stray cats and always wanted to give them the best.
In the past, he had fed them top-notch cat food. Now, he was lowering his living standards.
As he was thinking, Nora walked in. She pointed at the can of cat food and said to the service staff, “I want 60 cans of this.”
Louis: “!!!”
He turned his head slowly and saw Nora standing beside him.
He jumped up suddenly. “Nora, why are you causing trouble? I don’t have the money to buy 60 cans!”
Seeing that he was about to explode, Nora blocked his mouth with two words.. “I do.”
