SWNOVELS Chapter Secrets Of Mrs 218
Chapter 218
After breakfast, Yvette decides to go shopping with Bonnie.
Just as they're about to leave, Jeremiah's phone rings.
He answers it and gives Yvette a "wait a sec" look. It's Zane. A brief conversation later, Jeremiah hangs up and turns to Yvette. "Zane called. Jason's been caught. He asked if you want to head over and see for yourself?" Yvette, ares dressed head-to-toe in black with a baseball cap pulled low, casually raises her eyebrows and lifts her head slightly. "No, handle it as it will." Jeremiah nods. "All right, let's go. I'll I'll drop quickly shouts, "Wait up!" and tags along. They
o you both at the mall. I've got some things to take care of anyway." He turns to Bonnie. "Which mall are we hitting?" Bonnie shrugs, "No specificone in mind, just want to wander around. Andrew, seeing everyone about to leave, head to Skyline Plaza, the largest shopping mall in downtown Seacrity. The place is loaded with high-end cosmetics, clothes, and luxury items. Everything here screams rich and exclusive. Even the fruit is flown in from abroad, with crazy price tags that once made the news Have you ever seen a $100 apple? Or a bunch of grapes going for thousands? That is just normal at Skyline Plaza. Jeremiah parks at the entrance, and a valet rushes up to greet them. He is a bit taken aback by the group- the men are dashing, and the women stunning. You You don't see a combo like that every day, valet bows slightly, waiting by the

As soon as she got in the car, Yvette found the most comfortable position and sealed into the seat. She wasn't asleep; she just closed her eyes to rest, using the blanket that Jeremiah had specially prepared for her.
Yvette, we're here." Bonnie stares at the massive 3D billboard outside Skyline Plaza, speechless.
This is definitely the kind of place where a big shot splashes cash. I bet I am just going to end up buying two overpriced apples, Bonnie thought.
Yvette stretches, glancing out the window. Her bright eyes, hidden under long lashes, don't look the least bit tired. She asked, "Already?"
Jeremiah kills the engine, hands Yvette the blanket he had prepared, and then pulls out a sleek black card. "We're here. Go enjoy yourselves. Use the card- there's no limit. I'll pick you and Andrew up for dinner later. How about some barbecue?" Yvette raised her perfectly shaped eyebrows slightly. "Okay, got i
She slipped Jeremiah's black card into her pocket, though spending wasn't exactly on her mind.
Jeremiah had long gotten used to her personality. When it comes to food, there is no arguing with her- once she mentions it, there's no stopping her.
Bonnie, meanwhile, stared wide-eyed at the black card in Yvette's hand. Growing up in the hood, she had never seen one up close. 'So that's what a black card looks like? she thought, blinking in disbelief. Dopan't even look that different from my $20 debit card?'
She swallowed hard and then asked, half-jokingly, "Wait a minute... is there really no limit on this card? Like, for real? This is the kind of thing those rich, over-the-top CEOS in romance novels give their girlfriends to swipe endlessly, right? Damn, never thought I'd see one in real life!" Andrew couldn't help but chuckle at Bonnie's amazement. "What's the big deal?" he thought. Even if Jeremiah did absolutely nothing for the rest of his life, he'd still be set. That black card? It was no big deal. 08:18 Fri, Oct 18 Chapter 218 @K 69%
He pulled out his own black card and waved it in front of her. "Look at you, all excited. Here, take mine. Swipe it wherever you want no limit. Bonnie blinked at Andrew and then at the card in her hand. The black card isn't just for billionaire CEOS; even this guy has one.
But the thought of holding it made her nervous. She quickly shoved it back into Andrew's hands. "No, no, no! I am just here to browse. I don't want to buy anything. Please take it back if lose this, I wouldn't be able to pay it off even if I sold myself!" Andrew chuckled. This girl t doesn't know what's good for her, he offered it to her, and she still rejected it.

He'd given out add-on cards to plenty of girlfriends in the past, and they were all over the moon. But Bonnie? She rejected it like it was nothing. What a fool Yvette adjusted her cap and stepped out of the car with Bonnie. The greeters at the mall entrance bowed respectfully as they led the two inside. Bonnie leaned in and whispered, "Yvette, this place is fancy! Even the greeters are so polite."
Yvette slipped her hands into her pockets, her expression relaxed and aloof, her voice cold and calm. "Where do you want to go?" Looking around at all the designer labels some Bonnie recognized, some she didn't she figured they were all crazy expensive. Determined to stick to window shopping, she decided it would not hurt to just look. I want to check out the women's clothing section," she said. Yvette's face stayed indifferent. It didn't really matter to her where they went. She nodded slightly and said. "Alright, second flor Bonnie obediently followed Yvette up the elevator to the women's department on the second floor. Just then, Yvette received a text from à contact named Flying Fish. She asked Bonnie to go ahead while she quickly headed to the restroom. Bonnie wandered off f and browsed for a bit. But every time she found something she liked; she didn't even bother trying it on once she saw the price tag.
"If I worked from the Tudor Dynasty until now, maybe I could afford this," she thought with a a a sigh.
Noticing Yvette still hadn't returned, Bonnie continued to casually stroll around. Eventually, she came across a gorgeous princess-style tutu dress in the window of a women's clothing store. She was so taken by it, that she couldn't resist going inside. Meanwhile, on the same floor, Winona and Yulia entered the very same store, just a few steps behind Bonnie.
Winona had just wrapped up some business, watching as the matter with Jason was resolved and he was taken away by the police. With that weight off her shoulders, she decided to treat herself to a shopping trip and dragged along the tired and overworked Yulia. Winona hoped it might improve their relationship, since Yulia was, after all, her mother-in-law keeping things too tense wasn't ideal. Besides, with someone else footing the bill, she wasn't worried about spending.
Yulia, though, wasn't thrilled. Her complexion was pale, and she was clearly unhappy about shopping right now. Yulia had been overwhelmed with wedding preparations at her family's house and was exhausted. But seeing Winona's belly softened. her frustration. This was her grandchild, after all. Yulia decided she'd bite her tongue and save any confrontation until after the baby was born.
Winona, in high spirits, didn't notice Yulia's displeasure. She'd already hit up several stores and liked the vibe of this one.
Back in the store, Bonnie had picked out the tutu dress and carefully went to the fitting room to try it on, making sure not to smudge or dirty it in any way. She stepped out, admiring herself in the mirror, and that's when she locked eyes with 08:18 Fri, Oct 18 U

Winona was accompanied by three salespeople, each loaded down with clothes she had picked out. Bonnie, stunned, recognized her immediately.

Bonnic hadn't heard all the gossip about Winona since Winona left school about Winona being pregnant and marrying Victor. From the looks of it, the rumors were true. Yulia, relaxing on the VIP sofa with a cup of black tea, glanced up and noticed Bonnie as well. She vaguely remembered her from a past meeting with Yvette. Bonnie seemed like a sweet girl, and Yulia had always liked her. Winona, however, gave Bonnie a cold look, eyeing her in the princess dress with mild disdain.
