Just as Catherine walked out of the school, she felt vibrations from her trouser pocket. She pulled out her phone to check. It was
Audrey calling.
When Catherine pressed the answer button, she heard Audrey’s excited voice, “Kathy! Is the school over? I’ll pick you up! Let’s
go shopping, shall we?”
Audrey’s voice was so penetrating that Catherine had to put the phone away from her ear.
Catherine scowled, wondering why Audrey had to be so dramatic like Ronin.
Her high-pitched voice was hurting Catherine’s ears.
Catherine never liked going shopping, nor had she ever gone shopping. If she had the time for shopping, she preferred sleeping
at home.
She was about to reject Audrey and end the call when the scene she saw last night suddenly occurred to her. Her rejection
changed, and she said, “Send me the address.”
After hanging up, Catherine got the message from Audrey.
The address was a shopping mall nearby. Catherine glanced at it, and the corners of her lips. slightly curved into a beautiful arc.
Five minutes later, Catherine rode her motorcycle and arrived at the mall that Audrey mentioned.
She stepped through the entrance and noticed Audrey waiting there for her.
It seemed that Audrey was in a good mood today. Seeing Catherine, Audrey rushed toward her with a wide grin.
She winked at Catherine playfully, stretched out her hand to hook Catherine’s arm, and said in a low voice, “Kathy, let me tell you
this. I have received my endorsement fee, and I’m much richer now! I’m so happy today! I want to buy some things for you!”
After leaving the Swanns’, Audrey became a fashion and beauty blogger with a background of being born blue blood. She taught
her fans makeup skills and how to match clothes. Besides, she shared the merits and demerits of luxury brands and how to
identify if they were fake. She was now a famous influencer on social media apps.
Catherine had been wearing a T-shirt and jeans every day ever since she returned to live with the Swanns. Audrey was worried
that Catherine’s classmates would look down upon Catherine at school, so Audrey specially arranged for Catherine to go
shopping with her after receiving the endorsement fee and planned to buy Catherine some clothes.
Catherine wrinkled her brows as she gazed at Audrey with bewilderment.
Seeing Catherine in a daze, Audrey patted her chest and promised Catherine, “Don’t worry,
Kathy. Leave everything to me today. I have plans for you and will definitely make you look more beautiful. You’re so pretty, and
your clothes must be good enough to match your beauty.
Catherine came here to show the evidence of Erik’s cheating on her. She wanted Audrey to see Erik’s true color and leave the
scumbag as early as possible.
But at that moment, Catherine was not so sure. She liked the smiling Audrey, and she did not. want the smile to disappear from
Audrey’s face.
As for Erik, since he dared to be a two-timer, Catherine would make him pay the price of cheating on Audrey.
“You don’t need to do this. I have enough clothes.”
Catherine rejected Audrey’s proposal and turned to leave the mall.
Audrey did not give up. She dashed forward and hugged Catherine’s arm.
Catherine lowered her head and looked coldly at where Audrey was hugging her. The icy look. frightened Audrey, and she let go
instantly.
Yet, Audrey still did not give up. She looked at Catherine with a complimentary expression.
“Kathy, I know you have clothes. But all you wear are T-shirts and jeans. I think they are too drab. Let me buy something different
for you. What do you think?”
“No, it’s a waste of money!” Catherine responded brittlely. She only wore haute couture clothes that the chief designers of the
mega brands personally made.
She would never wear ready-made clothes sold in this kind of shopping mall.
Unfortunately, Audrey did not grasp Catherine’s point at all.
From her perspective, Catherine was saving her money.
They were all family, but Catherine was so much better than her other two siblings.
The Swanns were rich, but all the money and properties were concentrated on Vicente.
Korbin strictly controlled his children’s pocket money. Except for Audrey, his other children were students and had no other
source of income.
When Johnathan did not have enough pocket money to squander, he would ask Audrey for it.
Johnathan did not care if Audrey had sufficient money for her own usage. Every time he asked Audrey for dough, the amount
was over a hundred thousand dollars.
Even Liana took a great deal of money from Audrey. Catherine, however, was the only one who did not want to spend Audrey’s
money. Even if only to buy several pieces of clothes.
Thinking of this, Audrey became more determined to buy clothes for Catherine.
She did not want to make fish of one and flesh of another of her siblings. She liked to be nice to Catherine too.
“Let’s go, Kathy. Do me a favor. You know I’m a beauty blogger, and I sometimes teach my fans how to match clothes. Be my
model. I want to take some pictures as the materials to explain to my fans.”
Worried that Catherine would still refuse, Audrey hurriedly explained, “I know you don’t like to be photographed, so I will only
take pictures of the clothes. Catherine, please, or I will lack the materials for my blog this time. Promise me, will you?”
Unable to stand Audrey’s pleading, Catherine nodded almost negligibly.
Audrey turned to be in raptures, and regardless of Catherine’s frown, she hugged Catherine’s arm again and pulled her forward.
Audrey had a good figure but was half a head shorter than Catherine.
Besides, Audrey knew she was going shopping today, so she wore a pair of flat shoes, Holding Catherine’s arm, Audrey looked
like a dainty little woman.
Well, it was also owing to the powerful vibe from Catherine.
Catherine was not very tall either, but her vibe was too strong, making her look taller than she was.
Audrey took Catherine to the women’s clothing floor on the third floor, where all the luxury brands were there. She did not want to
buy low-end goods for Catherine. She thought only big brands deserved Catherine.
The luxury brands were costly, indeed. But with her money, Audrey could still afford one or two suits.
Audrey led Catherine into a shop of an upscale brand. When Audrey and Catherine entered the shop, the service assistant
recognized Audrey and greeted her, “Miss Swann, Welcome! We have some newly released bags. Would you like to have a
look?”
Audrey felt sad in her heart. What a coincidence that she came here today and there were new arrivals!
The service assistants would not specially mention the newly released goods if they were not receiving high-class clients. The
new arrivals were saved for top clients, and ordinary ones would not have the chance to buy them even with money.
It was a rare opportunity for Audrey to purchase bags!
After a while of sadness, Audrey gave up the new bags. She smiled softly, “No, thank you. I’m not here for the bags today. I want
to buy some clothes for my younger sister. Do you have any newly arrived clothes?”
It was quite a pleasant decision from Audrey for the service assistant. She could save the new bags for her other high-class
clients and still earn money from Audrey by selling clothes.
She led the two ebulliently into the inner room and introduced, “These are our new arrivals this season. Miss Swann, please
have a look. Let me know if you are interested in any of them.”
Catherine sat on the sofa and dozed off as soon as she entered the door. Audrey let her be and concentrate on choosing clothes
on her own. She would like to do anything to make Catherine look more shining
Audrey picked one after another, but she could not make up her mind to decide on one She felt every piece of the dress suited
Catherine and matched her well, but she also thought those clothes were not worthy of Catherine’s gorgeousness.
Such contradictory and complicated emotion was constantly growing in Audrey’s heart.
The service assistant could tell what Audrey was thinking, so she walked to Audrey and asked, “Miss Swann, we have some top
new arrivals Do you want to have a look?”
Top new arrivals meant that they would be expensive
Audrey knew it, but since she had decided to buy something nice and expensive for Catherine, she was ready to spend money
“Great Get them and show me.
