Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Finn Taylor had only had a chance encounter with Snowy, yet the latter was certain that he had a girlfriend. ‘How does she know about that? Can she read my mind?’
“What, do you really want me to tell everyone about it?”
‘It’s such an embarrassing thing to do. Doesn’t he feel ashamed? Why is he still so arrogant? Does he really want me to expose him in front of everyone? Is he a man? He’s so shameless.’
“Hehe. Sarah brought you here, so I won’t embarrass you in public.”
‘I won’t tell them about what I saw the other day since Sarah brought him here. Sarah will be equally embarrassed if I expose him.’
“Sarah, he isn’t a good man. I’ll tell you more later when we leave. I’ll send you home.” Snowy couldn’t help raising her guard toward Finn Taylor. As such, she tried to convince her friend to leave with her.
“That’s alright. I drove here.”
“You drove here?” Hearing that Sarah Eaton had driven to the venue, her friends were shocked.
“Oh, you bought a car? What kind of car is it?”
“Yes, you should’ve told us about it. We could’ve helped you check it out.”
“What’s there to check? It must be a Buick that costs just a few thousand.”
The women each shared their own opinions. Although they knew that Sarah Eaton had bought a car, they felt that it couldn’t be an expensive one.
“Hurry up and tell us, Sarah. What kind of car is it?” Although they probably wouldn’t take a fancy to Sarah Eaton’s car, their curiosity had been piqued.
“Er, just an average one.” The car wasn’t Sarah Eaton’s. Her friend has simply lent it to her, and that was why she didn’t intend on sharing anything with the others.
But it was exactly her reluctance to answer them that made them even more curious. “What?! Sarah, are you not going to tell us the truth? Do you think we’ll look down on you because you can’t afford a car? What car did you buy?”
“Yes, where’s the key? Hand it over to us so that we can see if we recognize it.” One by one, Sarah Eaton’s friends tried to persuade her.
Eventually, even Snowy couldn’t hold it in. “We’re all friends here, Sarah. It should be fine to tell us what kind of car you bought.”
Sarah Eaton knew that her friends weren’t going to let the matter go, and she eventually had no choice but to place the car key on the table.
Her friends were stunned when they saw the logo on the key. “Y-you bought a Maserati?”
“Which model is it?”
Curious, they walked to the window, where they spotted the pink Maserati.
“Is that pink one yours? It costs at least a few hundred thousand!”
…
That threw the whole room into silence.
They had always thought of themselves as richer and better than Sarah Eaton, yet even they couldn’t afford a Maserati. After all, they were even exaggerating about how much they earned a month.
It wasn’t that easy to do business, and it was good enough to be earning a couple thousand in profits on good days. On bad days, they were mostly making losses.
As such, it was already good enough for a business to be earning around 50,000 dollars a year. This meant that they would have to work for decades before having any chance of buying a Maserati.
Yet, the most useless among them—Sarah Eaton—had bought herself a Maserati!
That confused all of them. ‘What’s different about Sarah today? The only difference is that she brought a friend today. Do you mean that this friend of hers has something to do with that Maserati?’
“Is your name Timothy Taylor? Did you give Sarah that Maserati?” One of the women seemed to have discovered the truth.
Just as expected, Sarah Eaton was doing the worst amongst them.
“Am I obligated to answer your question? So what if I did, and so what if I didn’t? All you have to know is that Sarah is driving a Maserati. She won’t just be driving it today, but tomorrow and the day after too. Are you trying to suck up to me so that I’ll give you a Maserati too, or are you just envious of your friend? If that’s the case, I can tell you right now that there’s no need to be envious of her or try to suck up to me. I’ll never fall for people like you.”
Finn Taylor’s words were insults to the women there.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the woman Finn Taylor was talking about had earned her money from sleeping with men. They all knew about it, but there was no need to say anything about it since they were merely friends. Even so, that didn’t mean that they didn’t know about it.
To be honest, they all hated her, but anything was better than poverty. As such, her friends merely looked down on her without saying anything.
Yet, Finn Taylor had changed that. He had pretty much said what everyone else had in their minds.
“You…” Not a single person spoke up for her, and she immediately understood that her friends all knew about her situation but had chosen to keep mum about it.
How she wished she could bury her head in the sand at that moment!
Embarrassed, she rushed out of the room. ‘I can’t stay here any longer. It isn’t just today. Perhaps I’ll never be able to attend a gathering again. I’ve already been utterly humiliated.’
“Sarah Eaton, you’re really something. We were doing just fine earlier, but look—we got into a fight the moment you came.”
To tell the truth, everyone knew just who was at fault in this matter. However, they simply needed someone to blame.
“What’s your name, Miss? Which family are you from?” Finn Taylor believed in the principle of ‘an eye for an eye.’
“What, are you running a background check on me?” She sneered as she leaned back. “Do you think I’d be afraid of you? I’ll tell you right now that my name is Ellen Fleming. My father is Morgan Fleming.”
“Morgan Fleming? I remember him. He waited at my house for three hours last time, begging for a meeting, but I chased him away.. He’s unqualified to even meet me.”
