Chapter 51
Anna looked at Matilda and said in an aggrieved tone, “Mom, you must have heard how rare this invitation is.
“It Kim weren’t Mr. Louise’s girlfriend, our family might not have received it in the first place.
“Then, if Kim went to the party with Mr. Louise, our invitation would be…”
She didn’t finish her words but her meaning was clear.
Matilda, though living in Lastier mostly, was not an old lady who knew how to cook and garden only. She had heard of the Louise Group.
Kim dared the head of such a super–rich family, giving the Simpson family a strong backer. So Matilda surely did not Kim to be looked down upon.
The old lady made a prompt decision. She said, “Let George go with Kim. In this way, George can get to know more people and build up contacts here.
Anna knew that this was the best possible result, thinking. The old lady always prefers boys to girls. Even if it was Frederick who invested in the clothing factory in Lastier, it would eventually fall into the hands of George.
But only 50 thousand dollars were invested into that factory, so whatever.
But it’s fine as long as I have Gem in my hand. It’s worth dozens of clothing factories.”
Seeing that Anna had no objections, Amara did not add anything more and just winked at her son secretly.
At the same time, Kimberly hurried home after receiving a call from her mother.
She had long heard of this auction/party
She was about to talk to Pierre but didn’t expect the Simpson family to receive an invitation tool
This was truly a gift from heavent
As soon as she got home, she called her grandmother sweetly at once. She knew that although Grandma stayed in the hometown most of the time, she still had power over the family and her father was also in awe of her too,
Matilda sat on the sofa and looked at Kimberly squatting in front of her. She nodded with satisfaction and said, “Hmm, Kim is getting more and more beautiful.”
She took Kimberly by the hand and reminded her earnestly, “Kim, never skimp on skincare. And watch your diet too.
Kimberly was overjoyed, thinking, “It seems that Grandma is going to give me some extra money. Her smile became even sweeter.
The old lady looked up at Anna and continued, “Anna, don’t go to salons all day yourself. What’s the point of making yourself look young? Buy something nice for Kim and it’s better to make a habit. It’s money well spent, you know?”
Anna blushed with shame and then turned pale. She wondered, “What did she mean? What’s wrong with me spending our money and making me look good? I don’t need to listen to all these judgments from a freeloader, okay?”
But Kimberly was happy to hear the words. She leaned on Matilda’s knees and said coquettishly, “Grandma loves me the most. Thank you, GrandmaTMTM
Amara on the side could barely hold back her laughter.
She thought, “It looks like Kimberly has only a pretty face. I have to teach my son well. The fortune of the Simpson family will eventually be his!”
Frederick generously took out 20 thousand dollars for his daughter and nephew to buy clothes for the party.
Kimberly snatched the check from Frederick and glanced at the amount. She was a little disappointed when she found that it was only 20 thousand dollars, not even enough for her to buy a dress.
Yet, she said to George politely. “George, your suit looks fine but not good enough to go to
o the party. Let’s go and buy you a new one
She tried to protect her image as a sweet and nice girl in front of her grandmother and father, but she did not realize that her tone sounded a little arrogant and her attitude was condescending.
All in all, Kimberly tried her best.
Chapter 31
Amara looked at Kimberly lightly as usual, thinking, “This girl thinks that she can ride a high horse after hooking up with the Louise family, but what she doesn’t know is that her own family will be her only long and true backer.”
Frederick did not find his daughter’s attitude inappropriate. He waved his hand and said, “Yeah, George, go shopping with Kim. She can also be a guide to show you around.”
George agreed. He followed Kimberly to her Maserati and they set off soon.
“Kim, what a nice car!” He couldn’t help exclaiming
Kimberly smiled at once.
The car was a gift from Pierre.
When she brought the green ring to Pierre, she thought that he would give it to her. Surprisingly, Pierre took the ring and give her a limited- edition Maserati instead.
It had been five years, but the car still attracted a lot
ot of attention on the road and was the envy of many.
Kimberly answered George in a shy tone, “Pierre gave it to me. I mean Pierre Louise of the Louise Group. Have you heard of him?”
George nodded accordingly and replied, “Of course. He’s my role model. Mrs. Louise, don’t forget about your cousin in the future?
Kimberly was utterly pleased. She had a better impression of George now, thinking. “That’s right. If you want to curry favor with others, you should at least act like it.”
The car stopped at the DH Mall, the most expensive shopping mall in Tervais. Kimberly usually came here for window–shopping and grudge- buying anything, except for the last time,
But it was different this time. The auction invitation from LL Inc. was actually an admission ticket to gatherings of rich and powerful families Moreover, this was the first appearance of the Simpson family at such an event, so they couldn’t embarrass the family.
Kimberly took George to a men’s clothing brand and got him a suit, a shirt, a tie, a belt, a pair of trousers, and a pair of shoes. They cost nearly 16,000 dollars, which almost broke her heart.
She thought. “If it weren’t for the Simpson family, I wouldn’t have bought such nice clothes for George.”
Kimberly handed the receipt to George and said in a half–joking tone. “George, you need to pay me back, you know? Dad only gave us 20 thousand dollars, and I haven’t bought anything yet!”
George took the receipt, blinked at her with a grin, and vowed, “Kim, I’ll pay for your outfit!”
Kimberly asked with her eyes sparkling, “Really?”
George curled his lips and said. “No, just kidding”
He even reached out, trying to rub her hair.
Kimberly looked sullen and said in displeasure, “You may get beaten up if you make another joke like this in Tervais
George was not annoyed,
He looked at Kimberly and said sincerely, “Kim, you know my family is not as rich as yours. I didn’t lie or something. I really wanted to buy fancy dresses for you but I’m afraid I don’t have that kind of money. I’m even more afraid that my future brother–in–law will get the impression that you’re treated badly by the family with a mediocre dress.”
Kimberly was in a much better mood after hearing his explanation but she still wanted the money back.
She asked, “How much do you have?”
George looked a little embarrassed and said, “4,000 dollars. My mother slipped it to me just now.”
Kimberly snorted, her face full of contempt. She thought, “You want to buy me clothes with just 4,000 dollars? You think you’re still in the countryside of Lastier, don’t you? But no matter what, it’s still 4,000 dollars. No point in waste, right?
Today, I’m gonna show him how expensive things can be!”
Kimberly took George to a women’s fine clothing store. She first glanced around and did not see Jenny, that shop assistant. Only then did she walk
In with relief
2:33 PM
Chapter 51
A salesgirl immediately came up to her and greeted her, “Welcome to our store, miss”
Kimberly browsed the clothes while asking casually. “Where’s Jenny? Is she off today?”
The salesgirl replied quickly, “Oh, you’re a regular client of Jenny? She just went to the restroom and will be back soon. Please take your time and see if there is anything you like.”
