"Your dad gave me 50 thousand dollars to buy dresses for you two. As for Charmaine's stylist, I'm paying him out of my own pocket. 300 dollars is all I can give you now. "Larissa, learn to be grateful. Charmaine is better than you in every regard. You should be like her."Larissa accepted the money and blocked Penelope on Whatsapp again."We're not a rich family. Yet you spent 50 thousand dollars to get Charmaine a stylist. You're just spoiling her. I'll tell Dad how unfair you are!" Larissa decided to go back to her room."Wait!" Penelope yelled. "Aren't you supposed to get your hair done?""What can 300 dollars get me? Nothing! I'll just tie my hair into a ponytail."The disrespect! If given the chance, Penelope would smack Larissa to get her money back. Alas, Caleb was still there. Plus, Penelope didn't want to make a fool of herself. In fact, ever since Larissa gave them the two million dollars, she began doing all sorts of weird things. She either asked for money or u

Larissa walked into the ballroom with steady steps. Her actions and smile exuded inherent sophisticated grace. The commotion dipped into silence at that instant. All eyes were fixated on her. Her beauty put everyone in a trance. A minute later, the guests finally began gushing about her identity.Penelope's face fell. She pulled Larissa to a corner, saying, "Look at you drawing attention wherever you go. Is this what I taught you? If you keep standing out while wearing such flamboyant clothes, how would others see us?"Larissa spread her hands. "I can't help it. I was born gorgeous."There were watchful eyes, so Penelope suppressed her anger and lowered her voice. "Today's party is of utmost importance. Don't mess it up, or I'll show up what 'messed up' really means. Behave and stop talking to random strangers. "Charmaine can't drink too much. If someone wants to toast with her, help her take it. If someone's being touchy with her, you should protect her. Be sensib

Owen couldn't even care less about mentioning Charmaine's name. "The way you mix the truth with lies worries Mr. Hamilton. "He's doubting the Solace family's capability to make the project work. Thus, the collaboration is off." He turned away without looking back.A pale-faced Ethan flopped to the floor.Wasn't Larissa just a janitor at Hamilton Group? How did she impress Mr. Hamilton?"Had he known that Larissa was the person that impressed Ambrose, he wouldn't have credited the merits to Charmaine in public. Charmaine's complexion was equally pale. She was humiliated.The gazes cast upon her were teeming with disdain and contempt. She became the laughingstock among the capable youngsters in Ambrollum City.Penelope, who couldn't comprehend the situation yet, said softly, "Is it necessary to go that far? It's not like Charmaine took the credit from Larissa on purpose."Ethan returned to his senses and slapped her, roaring, "I've told you to treat our daughters equal

Larissa's clothes were prepared by Ambrose. It was a brand affiliated with Hamilton Group, and every single piece of it was unique. It was difficult to gauge the price because of this.She chose the simplest designs in order not to draw attention. Yet, Jessica deemed her clothes cheap. Some of the students nodded quietly as they thought that Larissa's clothes were pretty as well.Also, Larissa seemed prettier than Jessica, who intentionally dolled herself up.Furious, she snorted, "What is there to compare? Alvin is going to pursue his studies abroad, and I'm going too. It's a prestigious school. It costs about 50 grand a year."Alvin's parents worked for the top management at a company. That was why he was rich.That was why Jessica was eager to get engaged with him after graduating. She wanted to secure the cash cow and pursue her studies abroad too. Making that announcement alone boosted her ego.She continued snobbishly, "Larissa, You don't know much since you're

Alvin had always had feelings for Larissa, but she didn't reciprocate his feelings. That was why he accepted Jessica's pursuit. Now that everyone was going to go on their separate ways after graduation, he decided to show that Larissa had missed a catch. He said, "Larissa, you know my family. It doesn't cost that much anyway. You can order anything you want. Think of it as a farewell gift."Jessica was turning into a green-eyed monster. "Yeah. Alvin is a big spender when it comes to friendships."Larissa's initial plan was to let it slide after playing a few tricks. She had not expected them to continue putting her in a difficult position.She smiled. "Since you put it that way, I'll add some other items."She pointed at the menu. "Chicken confit, Kobe beef, bluefin tuna sashimi, caviar, and lobsters. Serve one each for everyone. Oh, and one more, get us a pound of white truffles imported from Florin."The waiter was hesitant. "Sorry, we don't have that many white truffles
