When They Beg, I Rise!

But she never imagined there would be a spending limit, not even enough to buy these few pieces of clothing. Lemira looked at her with a smirk, "Can't afford it, huh?"

Jessica snatched back the dress that Lemira had lost earlier, "If you can't afford it, stop trying to show off." Evelina's eyes were red with anger, "Lemmy, didn't you say you wouldn't use a dime of your family's money?"

She couldn't believe Lemira could afford such expensive clothes.

Lemira pulled out her card and handed it to the manager, "Charge it, I'll try these on in a bit."

Judy, her sidekick, wasn't having it, yelling at the manager, "We saw it first, how can you sell it to her? We are premium members!"

The manager replied politely, "We usually go by who places the order first. Besides, Ms. Langston may not have a membership card, but she's still the Langston heiress, a VIP in our store." "She's been kicked out!"

The manager, unflinching, replied, "It's just a temporary squabble. After all, you can't sever blood ties."

Lemira was, after all, the only biological sister in the Langston family, that was a fact.

Evelina, infuriated to tears, decided to call Alaric.

She couldn't let Lemira see her in this state.

Hearing the manager talk about unbreakable blood ties made Lemira feel uncomfortable.

She didn't want to be bound by so-called blood relations!

She took the dress and headed to the fitting room.

Outside, Evelina was tearfully calling Alaric, but no one answered until his assistant picked up.

"Why isn't Alaric picking up?"

"The boss got smashed last night, not up yet."

Drunk?

Evelina was instantly annoyed. Why did he have to get drunk at a time like this?

What was she supposed to do now?

She absolutely can't lose to Lemira.

Evelina had no choice but to call Lucian, who answered quickly, "Eve, what's wrong?" "Lucian-"

Her voice was whiny, "I had no choice but to call you."

"Why are you crying? Who's bothering you?"

"Lucian, I was out shopping and ran into Lemmy.thought, since she ran away from home without any money, she'd be broke. But it seems like she's not short on cash. I didn't want her spending someone else's money, so I tried to pay for her, but I didn't have enough. She seemed a bit upset."

Judy quickly added, "Lemira's really being too much, flaunting her money in front of Eve, saying Eve is living beyond her means." "Lemmy wouldn't mean it like that."

Evelina gave her sidekick a meaningful look.

Lucian, puzzled, asked, "where did she get all that money?"

"I'm not sure," Evelina replied.

"Alright, I got it. Come back home, don't get into a conflict with her."

With a reluctant sigh, Evelina hung up, kicking a mannequin in frustration.

Lucian would've definitely handed her a big wad of cash to settle the bill back then.

Judy asked, "So, did Lucian give you a hefty sum to buy clothes?"

"No, he told me to go home."

Evelina couldn't swallow heel

but then her phone beeped with

message from Lucian. [I've

transferred the money to your Pay for Lemmy's stuff too.]

Satisfied, Evelina made her way back into the store.

Just as Lemira came out of the fitting room, Evelina strutted back in, clearly having secured the funds.

Evelina crossed her arms smugly, "Wrap up all these clothes for me, I'm taking them all."

Lemira remained unfazed; she really didn't care.

Evelina turned to Lemira with a

bragging tone, "Lucian just

transferred a hefty sum to me, told me to spend it all, or don't bother coming home."
