He beckoned to the saleswoman behind him, instructing, “Utilize my card to settle thedy’s bill.


    Consider it a gesture of goodwill on my part.


    ”


    Eliana modestly bowed her head, concealing her blush.


    Nevertheless, Den seethed with anger.


    He fixed an intense re upon Alick and protested, “This is our private affair and none of your concern.


    ”


    “We both hold prominent status in Valmere, Mr.


    Edwards.


    It would be prudent to keep the peace.


    ” Alick retained his smile.


    “Let’s not allow five million to disrupt your harmony.


    Settle the bill.


    ”


    “I don’t require anyone’s assistance in paying our expenses!” Den, with an unyielding countenance, extracted a card and emphatically ced it on the counter.


    Alick glimpsed at Den’s card, maintaining his smile, andmented, “Very well.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ”


    As he turned to depart, the resonant chime of the payment terminal echoed through the clothing boutique.


    “There are insufficient funds toplete the transaction.


    ”


    Alick pivoted back to witness Den’s crestfallen expression.


    “Seems Mr.


    Edwards didn’t bring enough currency today.


    ”


    With clenched teeth, Den extracted another card from his wallet, his frustration palpable.


    He dered, “I gave over the wrong card!”


    His cardnded on the counter with a resounding thud, his breath quickening as he instructed, “Please process the transaction swiftly!”


    The saleswoman, taken aback by his disy, swiftly retrieved the card and deftly operated the machine.


    However, as Den punched in the password, a dispassionate electronic voice delivered another harsh verdict.


    “The avable bnce is insufficient.

    The saleswoman, wearing a slightly embarrassed expression, ryed the unwee news.


    “Sir, there isn’t enough funds on this card either.


    ”


    Whispers and jeers had already begun to circte, adding to Den’s embarrassment.


    Clutching the card, Den seethed with frustration.


    A mere five million-a trifling sum for the Edwards family!


    His thoughts turned to his grandmother, likely the source of the suspended card, intensifying his anger and embarrassment.


    “Allow me to cover it.


    ” Alick proffered his ck card, remarking, “This card holds no limitations and requires no password.


    ”


    The saleswoman hastened to ept the card, stating, “Certainly, sir.


    ”

    Without a word of gratitude, Den seized Eliana’s arm and hastily made their exit.
