Chapter 349 - Insufficient Limit

The warmth of Lucas's palm spread along Cheyenne's shoulder and to her heart, dispelling the emotional trauma that had been troubling her for years.

Cheyenne raised her head and looked into Lucas's eyes to see that it was full of a gentle gaze, making her feel extremely touched.

"Hubby…"

When Lucas heard Cheyenne address him with such an endearing term, his heart was full of sweetness and joy.

Unfortunately, now was not the time for them to express their love to each other because he had to deal with this abominable couple in front of them, who was trying to create trouble for them.

Lucas looked away from Cheyenne, and by the time his gaze landed on Rachelle, it had become ice cold.

The dauntingly cold gaze in Lucas's eyes startled Rachelle, and she couldn't help feeling intimidated as she subconsciously cowered behind Daniel.

But after thinking about it, she realized that she had already beat Cheyenne in the argument just now. Not only had she exposed Cheyenne's scandal in public to embarrass her, but she had also insulted her and vied with her for the trench coat!

All in all, she had already obtained a huge victory, and there was no need for her to stay here and argue with these two losers any longer.

"Honey, let's ignore them and leave after we buy the trench coat!" Rachelle said.

With a strange, triumphant smile on his face, Daniel pretended to be generous and took out a credit card from his wallet. He exclaimed loudly, "I'm buying this trench coat. Wrap it up for me now!"

With an indignant look on her face, Cheyenne was about to say something, but Lucas squeezed her hand comfortingly to calm her down.

The trench coat had been hanging on the mannequin, but Lucas had sharp eyesight and was tall enough to see the price tag on it. He already knew that the trench coat cost $90,000.

He was certain that Daniel definitely wouldn't be able to afford it.

Although Rachelle had mentioned earlier that her fiancé, Daniel, had a six-figure annual income, she was naturally lying.

Even if Daniel was really a business manager of the Feather Corporation, his annual income should be less than a hundred grand.

As for how Lucas knew about the annual salary of the business managers of the Feather Corporation, it was naturally because he now owned all the businesses belonging to the Hales.

Although Lucas didn't know whether Daniel really worked at the Feather Corporation or not, he was well informed about the annual salaries of the business managers.

The $90,000 trench coat was as much as Daniel made in a year, so Lucas was sure that he definitely couldn't afford it. Even if he had enough money, he wouldn't spend $90,000 on a trench coat.

The smile on Lucas's face grew wider when he glanced at the Armani suit and Patek Phillipe watch that Daniel was wearing.

Next to Lucas and Cheyenne, Rachelle was disgruntled by the underwhelming reaction the two had over losing the trench coat.

She sneered and mocked them again. "Hmph, I knew long ago that you two can't afford this trench coat at all. Yet you still put up a pretense in front of me. Seriously!"

As soon as she said this, the sales assistant walked over with Daniel's credit card and said with a strange expression on her face, "Sir, I'm sorry, but your card has been declined because of an insufficient limit. Would you like to use another card or try a different payment method?"

"What? How is that possible?! My credit limit is fifty thousand. How can it be insufficient for a trench coat?" Daniel immediately hollered furiously.

Rachelle just mocked Lucas and Cheyenne for being too poor to afford the trench coat. But in the blink of an eye, they were put to shame by the sales assistant. With a sullen expression, Rachelle followed suit and questioned, "That's right. How is it possible for there to be an insufficient limit? Is there something wrong with your payment machine?"

After the sales assistant heard this, her smile faded. If it wasn't because of the company policy stating that all sales assistants had to smile and be polite to the customers, she would have long rolled her eyes at Daniel and Rachelle. Why are you acting like wealthy people and showboating when you can't even afford the coat?!

"Sir, Miss, this haute couture trench coat costs ninety thousand dollars, and it's the only piece available. There will not be any discounts, and your credit card limit is insufficient!"

After hearing the price of the trench coat, Daniel and Rachelle were both in disbelief, unable to believe their ears at all.

"How much? How much money did you say it costs?" they both asked in unison.

Full of disdain toward them, the sales assistant repeated, "Sir, Miss, this haute couture trench coat costs ninety thousand dollars!"

Rachelle and Daniel's faces stiffened immediately.

They both thought that the trench coat would cost merely a few thousand dollars. They didn't expect it to cost $90,000!

The surrounding onlookers couldn't help laughing after seeing the expressions on their faces.

"Hah, it seems they can't afford it."

"What a joke. They should look around and see where they are now. Ermenegildo Zegna is a top designer brand for men's clothing. Isn't it normal to pay tens of thousands for an haute couture piece?"

"Exactly. I saw them laughing at others just now, and I thought that they were really rich. I didn't expect them to be too poor to even afford it. This is hilarious!"

"Hahahaha, exactly! That said, I came here because that woman's voice caught my attention. I bet she didn't expect that she'd end up becoming the laughing stock!"

...

The laughter and mockery around them immediately made Rachelle's face turn even more gloomy, and she felt especially embarrassed and furious when she heard them say that she had brought it upon herself.

"Hmph, who says we can't afford it? My husband just took out the wrong card!" Rachelle retorted loudly while glowering at the people around her.

Then she secretly pinched Daniel's arm and urged him softly, "Honey, hurry up and take out that card of yours that has a balance of more than two hundred grand!"

When Daniel heard this, his face darkened.

He actually only had this one card, and he only had about $50,000 to spare.

But he had once bragged to Rachelle about how wealthy he was and even claimed to have a few debit cards that each contained a few hundred grand. Now that Rachelle was asking him to take one out, Daniel was suddenly at a loss for words.

Seeing that Rachelle was still urging him to buy the trench coat, Daniel suddenly said with a look of disdain, "Forget it. This trench coat is hideous. It looks just like those cheap clothes sold at budget clothing stores. I wouldn't want it even as a gift. I can't believe it costs ninety thousand for this garbage. I don't want it anymore!"
