Janet had just returned to the White family home. Johanna didn’t want her to go back to Seacisco so
soon so she vehemently insisted that Janet stay in Barnes.
“I’m going back to the company for work tomorrow. If you’re bored, you can go shopping with Lila. She
has many friends in Barnes. This is the supplementary card of my credit card. You can buy whatever
you’d like.”
Before Johanna made her way to the company, she gave a card to Janet to use as she pleased.
“Thank you but no, I can’t accept this. You have bought me innumerable things.”
Janet felt embarrassed to accept such a grand gesture.
Johanna pressed the card into Janet’s hand and hugged her again, feeling reluctant to leave.
“You’re being too polite with me. Well, I really have to go now. I’ll give you two the time to bond with
each other today.”
Lila was positively green with the jealousy that consumed every fiber of her being. She had been
longing for a supplementary card for as long as she could remember. However, no matter what
methods she tried to employ, Johanna didn’t agree to it.
Now Janet had made little to no effort yet she was gifted the card. How could Lila not envy her? Lila
had a catch-up date with her best friends to enjoy afternoon tea. She had no desire whatsoever to take
Janet along with her. However, since Johanna had asked her specifically to do so, she had no choice
but to let Janet tag along
The place they patronized was a restaurant in a five-star hotel. The desserts of this hotel were well-
known, which made it a popular place for many wealthy ladies to spend their leisure time.
“Lila! You’re finally here! Do you know how long have we been waiting for you?”
As soon as Lila and Janet entered the restaurant, a woman in a sexy slip dress with leopard print
pattern stood up and waved to beckon them over. Lila quickly walked over and kissed the woman on
the cheeks. She smiled and asked, “What made you stay abroad so long?”
When the woman was about to speak, she saw Janet standing behind Lila. She raised her eyebrows
and smiled, “Who is this? Why don’t you introduce her to us?”
Lila took a glance at Janet. She walked behind her and introduced her to her best friends, “This is my
sister, Janet White. You must have heard of her in the newspapers.”
Of course, these women knew full well who Janet was. They had read the news about her in the
newspaper over and over again. Lila led Janet to their seats to sit down.
The young ladies made conversations with Janet from time to time about some mind-numbingly boring
topics. From these conversations, Janet could tell that these young ladies were all from rich families
and had no ambition to strive to make progress. They lived a comfortable life and were waiting for their
parents to arrange husbands for them in the future.
