“Anna, Michael, nice to meet you,” Yvette greeted us like how Steven addressed us.
I flashed her a polite smile. Meanwhile, Michael only nodded slightly at her, devoid of expression.
When Yvette looked at Michael, I caught a glimpse of unmistakable admiration that flashed across her
eyes.
As I observed her discreetly, I noticed that she had been scanning the whole restaurant excitedly ever
since she stepped into the place. It seemed she was over the moon to have the chance for a meal in a
five-star restaurant. Apart from that, she could barely take her eyes off Michael.
“Yvette, please take a seat first,” I uttered placidly, breaking her reverie.
Wearing a look of sheer blissfulness, Yvette seemed oblivious to my presence. In an instant, I could not
help but dislike her even more.
“Yvette, how old are you? What do your parents do?” I cut the crap right after Steven sat down with her.
I put on my brightest smile and tried to look as sincere as possible.
“Anna, aren't we here for a meal? But why do you sound like an officer probing for information?” Steven
responded preemptively with a hint of displeasure written all over his face. He was seemingly trying to
stop me from asking Yvette all those questions.
I refuted casually, “Take it easy. I'm just chatting with Yvette. After all, it will take quite a while before the
dishes are served. Yvette, you don't mind that, do you?”
Shooting Steven a glance, I felt a prickle of annoyance. Hmph! Does he know that I'm sounding her out
for his sake? I need to ensure she does not have an ulterior motive to be with him!
“Anna, no issue at all. I'm twenty-one years old, and my parents are just general workers,” Yvette
replied briefly.
I could sense she lacked confidence when mentioning that her parents were general workers.
“Oh! That sounds great! We're from the village too.” I sounded casual.
So her parents are just general workers? But how could the daughter of the general workers afford all
these branded outfits? I had a feeling that she was a good-for-nothing spendthrift.
Since she's not from a well-to-do family, doesn't she know the importance of leading a simple and
practical life? How could she spend extravagantly instead? I bet she must be telling lies or having some
personality issues.
“Anna, I heard from Steven that you used to work in this city before marrying Michael?” Yvette switched
the topic at once. After flashing a glance at me, she turned to cast a look at Michael.
There was not even the slightest bit of change in Michael's countenance. He lifted the glass of water
and took a sip without sparing Yvette a glance.
“Oh yeah! Yvette, I have told you that Michael is a millionaire and possesses a lot of properties before.
Joyful Success Advertisements, which is deemed the largest in the city, is one of his businesses. Other
than that, he has shares in hotel franchises and real estate too!” Steven cut me off by changing the
topic and babbling about Michael instead.
I furrowed my brows at Steven's impulsiveness. Undeniably, I was displeased when he blabbered
about Michael's wealth. No doubt, anyone could get to know more about him by searching online.
However, I felt it was unwise to reveal so much to Yvette before we could get to know her better.
“Wow! Michael, you are already so capable at such a young age!” Yvette's eyes lit up in an instant with
gleams of wonder.
“Please excuse me. I need to use the washroom.” I glared at Steven and picked up my bag to head for
the washroom.
The moment I got to my feet, Yvette gasped, “Ah! Anna, the bag you're holding is the latest design from
LV, am I right? It costs almost two hundred thousand! My goodness! You're really rich!”
Her eyes widened in sheer disbelief as she fastened her gaze on the bag in my hand.
Sensing her penetrative gaze, I lowered my head to look at my bag instinctively. However, I had never
really been into all the so-called designer brands. Thus, I was unaware that it actually cost almost two
hundred thousand! Good gracious! How could such an ordinary-looking bag cost so much!
Undoubtedly, she was a materialistic girl who was a freeloader. If not, how could someone from an
ordinary family know that my bag is the latest design of the year with only one glimpse?
“She can easily grab handfuls of bags like this and doesn't even realize how much they cost!” Michael,
who had remained silent for quite a while, piped out exaggeratively.
I was startled by his unusual brags. As far as I knew, he had never sounded insolent like someone filthy
rich before. It seemed he was doing so deliberately in the face of Yvette.
“Ah! You can easily grab handfuls of these bags! Anna, you and Michael are really rich! I'm envious of
you for owning such eye-catching bags!” Yvette heaved a sigh admiringly.
Apparently, Michael's words had whipped her up. When she turned to look at me again, there were
inexplicit glitters in her eyes. I could not help but grimace at her repulsive reaction. It was as though
she was trying to get closer to me in a way.
“Haha, I'm not really particular with these items. Any brand is fine for me, as long as I like the design.” I
chuckled, not knowing what else to say.
“It's really a blessing for Steven to have such a well-off sister like you! If we happen to be in a situation
after getting married, you and Michael will surely lend us a hand, won't you?” Yvette asked tactfully.
At the same time, she continued to scan me from head to toe gleefully as she did not sense my
displeasure.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement again the moment she caught a glimpse of my dress, but she did
not comment anything on that. At that moment, I did not expect that I was wearing a dress that cost a
few hundred thousand!
“Of course. Since Steven is my brother, I'll surely lend him a hand if he's in deep water,” I replied
matter-of-factly.
Even though Yvette seemed to have a point, I could sense that she was hinting at something. Could it
be she's hinting at me to support them financially?
Moments later, she turned to look at Steven and yelled out, “Steven, you mentioned that it's hard as h*ll
to buy a car that costs five hundred thousand, didn't you? But look at your sister! Even her bag costs
almost two hundred thousand! I bet it must be easy as pie for her to buy us a car!”
I was utterly speechless. It never came to my mind that she had the audacity to say so in our faces. In
an instant, I was even repulsed by her greed. How ridiculous! Why should Michael spend five hundred
thousand to buy a car for her?
“Yvette, don't you think that a car that costs five hundred thousand is a bit too costly for villagers like
us? I'm sure you know that we can't afford it,” I mocked as I was seated again. As I looked intently at
her, there was a flicker of sheer coldness in my eyes.
Hearing that, Yvette was dumbfounded. I bet it never occurred to her that I would throw a wet blanket
over her on the spot. Nonetheless, she flashed me a sweet smile and retorted eloquently, “Anna, you're
Steven's sister. Not to mention, your husband is the wealthiest man in Avenport. Now that your brother
is getting married, won't we become the laughing stock if we don't even have a car? By then, we'll only
bring shame to you, and Michael too, isn't it?”
Unable to stifle my simmering fury, I fumed, “Yvette, don't you feel that this is too much? Why should
Michael and I give you five hundred thousand to buy a car? In my opinion, you seem to be taking full
advantage of us! Do you think you have the right to make us foot the bills for all your expenses just
because you're married to Steven?”
Right that instant, I could not resist feeling that her mind was prevailed by her repulsive greed. I even
doubted if she entered a relationship with Steven because of Michael and me. Does she have
something up her sleeve all this while?
