Jasmine had money. The card that Boyce gave her last time contained Boyce’s savings. She did not
spend much. Although she had money, she would not spend lavishly. She was still quite arrogant and
unwilling to simply get advantages from others.
Although Boyce was his husband and she was not yet working and had no much money with her, she
would not use Boyce’s money to squander. If she wanted to buy expensive items, she would want to
get them with her own efforts.
Not hearing Jasmine say anything, Elaine’s eyes widened, “Your husband will give you money to
spend, right?” Immediately after this, she added, “You’re so much younger than him, shouldn’t he take
care of you with money?”
Jasmine found these words especially harsh. ‘She is younger so she ought to be taken care of by
others?’
‘What kind of logic is this?’
These words sounded derogatory as if the reason why she married Boyce was that she was fond of his
money and his social status.
“I married him because I like him, not because of his money,” Jasmine stressed.
Elaine smiled and comforted her, “I know. I didn’t say anything though, don’t get agitated.”
Jasmine glanced at her and did not quite believe her words.
Elaine sighed, “Okay, okay, I’ve said the wrong thing. I didn’t mean other things, don’t think too much.”
In fact, she was really unintentional to say that. She did not intend to say that the reason why Jasmine
got married so early was because of others’ wealth.
But because she wanted to continue the topic, she casually uttered this sentence. She did not expect
that Jasmine would be so sensitive.
When they arrived at the place, Elaine went to buy bubble tea. The two of them walked into the mall
arm in arm. As it was the weekend, there were quite many people.
“Women’s clothing is there, let’s go over there.” Elaine pulled Jasmine. Jasmine was just
accompanying her to do window shopping. She did not intend to buy anything so she just followed her.
After Boyce left, Jessica Lennon said the weather was slowly becoming cooler and said Andrew
Nelson’s long-sleeved jacket was a little too small as he grew a lot taller so there was a need to buy a
new one. She also said there was a need to buy for Amanda Nelson’s too as some of the clothes last
year were too small for her body too. She was not as tall as Andrew but she also grew taller this year.
Jessica and Coral would take care of the child. Dolores Flores came out to buy autumn clothes for the
two children.
Now, she was feeling more and more like a housewife and was even the kind of housewife who was
very comfortable. When she went out, there would be a driver so she did not even need to drive
herself. At home, Jessica and Coral would help her take care of the children.
As for the money, Matthew Nelson would earn it. It was as if she did not have anything to do. She did
not like this kind of lifestyle. She hoped that she could do whatever she liked to do.
However, Matthew did not allow her to go to City C so she could only be a housewife at home.
She had been here for a while. The driver followed her and was already carrying a few paper bags.
She originally wanted to buy clothes for Amanda and Andrew but when she saw the baby store, she
went in. She saw a lot of cute small clothes so she bought a few clothes and some baby supplies.
On the other side, Elaine pulled Jasmine and walked closer to a jewellery store. Jasmine blinked and
looked at her, “Elaine, do you want to buy something?”
Elaine whispered in her ear, “No.”
Jasmine did not understand. ‘Since she doesn’t intend to buy, why does she want to go into the store?
Also, there are apparently no cheap things there. The expensive ones cost about 2.5k dollars and the
cheap ones cost more than a hundred dollars. Things below a hundred dollars completely cannot be
found.’
“Since you’re not buying, we shouldn’t go in to see.” Jasmine thought it was not necessary. Shopping
without buying was a waste of time. Besides, it seemed a bit embarrassed to just look at it without
buying.
“Jasmine, we’re here to do window-shopping. I’ll just take a look. Anyway, it won’t cost me anything to
try it on.”
While saying, Elaine pulled Jasmine and walked into the store. After entering, an attendant came over
to serve them.
Elaine pulled Jasmine and walked to the necklace area. There lighting of the jewellery store was very
sufficient and it made the jewellery made of expensive metal material shine brightly.
All women liked those exquisite trinkets. Jasmine also liked those. It was just that she was capable to
resist herself and only do things within her capability.
She never did things that were beyond her ability.
Elaine now also did not have the financial ability to buy these things. She just liked those things. Even if
she could not afford to buy one, it was good for her to try it on as well.
She pointed to a platinum necklace that she had seen its replica countless times on the Internet. When
she saw the genuine one now, she was eager to try it on, “Could you take this one out for me to take a
look?”
The salesperson with white gloves on her hands said yes, opened the glass case and took the
necklace out. She put it in the red velvet jewellery tray for her to see.
It was a fine platinum necklace with a delicate heart-shaped pendant hanging on it. The pendant was
very simple. It was made of platinum and looked just like a small heart shape. A small diamond was
inlaid on the side. It looked exquisite and was very suitable for a small woman with fair skin.
Elaine took it. This was much brighter than those replicas she saw on the Internet. She was eager to try
it on, “Can I try it on?”
The salesperson said, “Yes.”
Elaine gave the necklace to the salesperson and asked her to help her put it on.
Soon, the salesperson helped Elaine put the necklace on. She was quite a pretty woman and the
necklace suited her well.
"This necklace suits you very well.” The salesperson enthusiastically gave her the mirror to take a look.
Elaine looked in the mirror at the necklace that was shining on her neck. She liked it from the bottom of
her heart.
“How much is it?”
“2.47k dollars,” the salesperson said, “Platinum is certainly expensive. In addition, there is a high-
quality diamond on it so the price is undoubtedly not too cheap.”
Elaine looked in the mirror and reached out her hand to touch the very small diamond. Diamonds that
were too small belong to broken diamonds so there was no value.
“Is there any event for discount?” Elaine let the salesperson help her take it off her body.
The salesperson took it down for her and said, “This is the latest model. It won’t be discounted.”
“Okay.”
“You’re very discerning. This necklace really suits you well. It looks good on you and you look very
feminine. Upon wearing it, the feeling you give off has changed and you look very classy.”
Elaine truly liked it but she also knew she could not afford to buy it.
She could only buy it later when she had money.
“Actually, I don’t quite like it. We’ll go to another store to take a look.” Elaine smiled and pulled Jasmine
to walk out.
The salesperson put the necklace back into the glass case and muttered, “Just say you can’t afford it if
you can’t afford it. What for you said you don’t like it. You don’t know your self-limitation at all.”
Elaine was not pleased when she heard that. She turned her head to look at her, “What did you just
say?”
