NovelStartThe girls sounded jealous but envious, and they told the truth.
That was what the current era was like.
Linda recalled Catherine's words the previous night and her bank card. She doubted if she should choose a different way of life hesitantly.
“Life only bullies the poor, and so does love.” Catherine's words reechoed in her mind.
After seven or eight stops, the bus arrived at the Marsh Group. Linda adjusted her mood and got down from the bus.
When she entered the lobby for the first time, she studied other female coworkers. They all wore wristwatches and sparkling earrings, which looked costly.

Linda could tell their clothes were high quality, and they all had beautiful figures, as if they practiced yoga often.
When the elevator doors slid open, Linda entered with other female coworkers from another department.
They held cups of takeout coffee, which made their wrists look fair. They wore brand watches with the same design. Their hair was carefully done, and its curls gave them unique womanish charms.
“Are you getting married soon, Ruth?” one woman asked.
“Yep.” The other woman wore a happy and confident smile. “Please come to my wedding. We reserved the hall in the biggest hotel in Arkpool City. Our wedding photos have been taken.” The elevator stopped.
While chatting, the two women walked out of the elevator. The faint fragrance of their perfumes remained.
Linda bowed her head to check herself. She wore flat cloth shoes and a suit that she bought when it was on sale. Her handbag only cost her twenty bucks, and her hairband was only forty cents.
Even if she couldn't marry Finnley, she must change her appearance.
Linda didn’t want to lead a life like her mother or stay mediocre and marry an ordinary man.
Therefore, she decided to go shopping and use Catherine's card after work.
Meanwhile, a Lamborghini left Emerald Bay. Ivan and Jennifer were sitting in the backseat. They encountered Clarence’s vehicle on the way to work, so the driver pulled over.
So did Clarence’s car.
In excitement, Shirley quickly got down from the car and strode toward the Lamborghini. However, after peeking into the window, she didn’t see Mya.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ehn?” Shirley looked at Ivan. “Morning, Mr. Marsh. Where is Mya?” Ivan was slightly taken aback as he didn’t expect them to come here.
“You told me Mya stayed in your house. Why didn’t she go to work with you?” asked Shirley. She looked in the direction of Emerald Bay, wondering if Mya had slept in.
Right then, Clarence also got down from the car. Standing outside the Lamborghini, he greeted Ivan and Jennifer.
“Good morning, Mayor Saunders and Mrs. Saunders,” Ivan responded to them with a smile. Then he opened the door and got off with Jennifer.
“Morning, Mrs. Marsh,” Shirley greeted Jennifer politely, thinking she was a gentle, charming woman.
“Good morning, Mrs. Saunders.” Jennifer beamed at her. “Mya has gone to work already. Ivan and | won't have a morning meeting, so we've slept in.” Shirley didn’t suspect and replied, “I see. Thank you so much for taking care of Mya.” “You are welcome. She’s my best friend.” Clarence propped his hand on Shirley's shoulder, squeezed her aside, and said to Ivan, “Mr. Marsh, we won't hold you too long.
Let's gather the other day.” “OK.” The two couples returned to their cars. The Lamborghini roared away fast.
“Honey, let's drop by Mya's workplace and send her those snacks,” Shirley suggested. “I haven't seen her for weeks. | miss her.” “Sure. Let's go to see her. The Marsh Group isn’t far from here.” Clarence also had a good mood, so he drove toward the Marsh Group.
Mya was their only daughter, so they spoiled her since she was born.
It took them less than 20 minutes to arrive.
Clarence parked his car in front of the Marsh Group and unbuckled his seat belt. Before getting off, he and Shirley saw Mya get off from a white Maybach nearby.
