Seeing her sister’s reply, Lara pouted, put down her phone, and went to wash up.
She knew her sister well; the bait she had thrown would likely keep her sister troubled for a while.
As Lara expected, on the other side, Karen was feeling anxious. She enlarged the photo her sister sent to examine the details of the Prada handbag; it didn’t look fake because she herself owned Prada bags.
She recalled the day she ran into Jacob at the Prada store, where he was with his so-called “girlfriend,” seemingly looking at the same bag her sister had posted about.
Was he picking a gift for Lara that day?
But where did he get the money! He had clearly sold his house and car and was still in debt by over two hundred thousand!
Karen was puzzled. Coincidentally, her sister’s birthday was coming up, and she decided to go see her.
Goodwill Kindergarten had rented a venue at a badminton court to hold this parent-child sports event.
At this time, the teachers and a few parents had already arrived at the scene. The teachers were busy setting up the venue, while the early-arriving parents chose to help out to gain some goodwill.
Josie learned about today’s parent-child sports event from her second aunt and specifically took a day off to accompany her sister-in-law Emery to participate.
Emery’s husband was quite busy with work and was out of town this week, so she thought she would have to attend with her mother-in-law and son. She didn’t expect Josie, her uncle’s daughter-in-law, to actively offer to join, which surprised her.
“Little aunt, your bracelet is so beautiful!”
Iris was pulled by Josie, who was not often seen, and his gaze instinctively fell on her wrist, captivated by the sparkling bracelet.
“Haha, little aunt thinks it’s beautiful too.”
Josie was pleased with her nephew’s reaction and raised her wrist to show it off.
“Josie, that bracelet must cost several thousand, right?”
Emery had actually seen the moment Josie posted about the bracelet and had specifically checked its price, feeling quite envious.
“Over fifty thousand.”
Josie replied with a smile, feeling quite proud.
Relatives have a very subtle relationship; good relatives hope you do well, but you must not do better than them.
Some even wish for you to be impoverished so they can flaunt their superiority.
Only a very few relatives genuinely wish for your well-being! Emery did not belong to that very few, nor was she malicious.
She was a local from Coastville and, deep down, looked down on her sister-in-law, who came from a small city to work. However, Josie was quite good at socializing; after coming to Coastville, she not only didn’t cause them any trouble but also brought gifts during festivals, so their relationship was relatively harmonious.
But the fact that her sister-in-law was suddenly pursued by a wealthy man made her feel a bit jealous. Her husband worked in sales, and when his performance was good, his annual salary could reach two hundred thousand; when it was poor, it was just over a hundred thousand.
So a bracelet worth over fifty thousand was something she couldn’t even dream of, only envying.
“Josie, did someone who is pursuing you give you that bracelet?” Emery asked again.
“Sort of.”
Josie nodded; although she wanted to take the initiative, she couldn’t lose face.
“What are his conditions?”
“With that much money, he’s worth considering,” Emery advised, but in her heart, she thought it was better not to pursue it.
“He’s the Jacob that my second aunt introduced to me,” Josie replied cheerfully.
“Ah?”
“The one my mother-in-law introduced!”
Emery was a bit stunned. A few days ago, she had heard her mother-in-law mention that she had introduced the father of her son’s classmate to her sister-in-law.
At that time, she had scoffed, thinking that a divorced man with a five-year-old daughter would never be good enough for her proud sister-in-law.
As a result, that man turned out to be a wealthy man! When did her mother-in-law’s judgment become so sharp?
Emery was skeptical; her mother-in-law usually wasn’t very discerning and easily believed others, but what was going on this time? She was filled with questions, while Josie’s gaze kept glancing toward the entrance of the gym, waiting for her baby to arrive and give him a surprise.
Just as she hoped, that figure finally appeared. She was first delighted, then froze.
Because Jacob was not alone; he was accompanied by a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties. Although she was dressed in sportswear, her curvy figure was hard to conceal, and she was very attractive, with a face full of youthful vitality that no amount of cosmetics could replicate.
Where did this little fairy come from?
