“Then I’ll pay fifteen times,” Hannah responded firmly.


    Malvina’s expression briefly twisted.


    “I’ll increase the offer twenty times.


    ”


    Beside Malvina, Tyshawn gently tugged her and nced at Hannah.


    “Hannah, don’t pretend to be wealthy.


    Don’t assume you can deceive me with this trick.


    We might ept further price hikes, but can you truly afford this dress?”


    Tyshawn remained unaware of the dress cost.


    If Malvina continued raising her bid, it would deeply


    trouble him.


    Hannah arched her eyebrows.


    “I never mentioned raising the bid further.


    Why are you so worried?”


    “I’m not worried.


    ”


    Tyshawn dr@ped his arm around Malvina’s shoulder, appearing slightly flustered after Hannah exposed his intention.


    “I’m simply concerned you might face embarrassmentter if you can’t afford it, tarnishing the White family name.


    ”


    Refusing further discourse with Tyshawn, Hannah turned to the nearby shop assistants.


    “You overheard them.


    They offered to pay twenty times the original amount for my friend’s dress.


    In that case, we will give the dress to them.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ”


    Hannah then addressed Lydia, “Lydia, please change your attire.


    ”


    Lydia, seething with anger, stifled a snicker at the situation with the two fools.


    Upon hearing Hannah’s directive, Lydia promptly adjusted her dress and headed for the dressing room.


    “I’ll change right away.


    ”


    Meanwhile, the shop attendant handed the bill to Tyshawn and informed him, “Sir, thedy’s garment is custom-made and carries a higher price tag than our off-the-rack items.


    ”


    “How much more expensive could it be? Do you doubt my ability to pay? Go ahead and process the payment.


    ”


    Tyshawn presented his card, which the shop assistant epted.


    “Of course, sir.


    The original cost of the dress is $2.


    91 million.


    With a 20-times markup, the totales to $58.


    2 million.


    If you have no problem with it, I’ll proceed with the transaction.


    ”


    “$58.


    2 million dors?” Tyshawn’s face flushed with anger.


    Tyshawn snatched the bill from the shop assistant’s hand, his voice rising uncontrobly, “Are you trying to rob me?”


    “I apologize, sir.


    The prices are clearly marked in our store.


    If you find it expensive and choose not to purchase, I’ll wrap this dress for thedy over there.


    ”


    The shop assistant’s tone remained pleasant, but it only deepened Tyshawn’s scowl.


    Beside them, Hannah burst intoughter.


    “Mr.


    Mitchell, do you truly believe it’s expensive? Weren’t you just saying you’d spare no expense for your fiancee? It’s just 5@ million dors.


    Surely, that’s not too much for you?”


    Malvina, holding onto Tyshawn’s arm, didn’t want to lose face in front of Hannah.


    “Tyshawn, it’s only $50 million.


    Are you unwilling to buy me this dress?”


    “Of course not,” Tyshawn replied with a forced smile.


    “I just feel it’s unnecessary to spend so extravagantly on a dress.


    .


    ”


    Malvina, noticing Hannah’s amused gaze, unhappily added, “It’s only 5@ million dors.


    My family has invested billions in the Mitchell Group.


    If you’re unwilling to spend this amount for me, how can we consider a union between our families?”


    Pretending to be offended, Malvina turned away.


    “Never mind.


    It seems your earlier words were just to cate me.


    You don’t take this seriously at all.


    I won’t ept the dress.


    Perhaps we should reconsider our families’ rtionship.
