Tatiana’s envious gaze seemed to suggest that Madisyn was merely using a wealthy man to cover the cost of what she wanted.


    Courtney nced at Madisyn with a trace of disdain.


    With her upbringing in the art world, she understood well that one shouldn’t let material pursuits dominate their life.


    Courtney didn’t like her uncle or his family.


    She thought they were only interested in worldly sess.


    She was even less impressed with their newly found daughter, who seemed even more interested in worldly pleasures, using Jared to buy dresses.


    Tatiana had devised a “clever” strategy.


    If Jared didn’t buy the dress for Madisyn, it would imply Madisyn wasn’t attractive enough.


    If he did buy it, it would look as though Madisyn had brought Jared here solely for that purpose.novelbin


    Madisyn pped her hands, saying, “It seems Miss Fernandez frequently resorts to such methods.


    ”


    Tatiana arched an eyebrow and responded innocently, “I’m not sure what you’re suggesting, Miss Johns.


    ”


    “Oh, now I understand.


    You’re implying that I want to have Mr.


    Cooper buy it for me.


    But really, it’s just twenty million.


    Do I need someone else to cover that for me?” Madisyn said with a smile.


    “Miss Johns, did I underestimate your financial capabilities? I certainly didn’t intend to.


    The entire country knows the wealth of the Johns family,” Tatiana replied, maintaining her smile.


    Jared wished he could just disappear.


    How did he fail to see Tatiana’s foolishness before?


    Would she feel embarrassed if she knew Madisyn had designed the dress herself?


    Jared couldn’t stand it any longer and said, “Miss Fernandez, I invited Miss Johns here to explore the market, not for the reasons you’re insinuating.


    Of course, if Miss Johns desired, I would dly offer her the entire shop, not just a dress.


    ”


    Tatiana’s smile wavered.


    Why was Jared so generous with Madisyn?


    “It seems you hold Miss Johns in very high regard,” Tatiana remarked her confidence shaken.


    She had belittled Madisyn using a dress worth twenty million, not expecting Jared to counter by offering a shop worth hundreds of millions.


    “Miss Fernandez, perhaps you enjoy shopping because you have nothing better to focus on.


    However, I believe Miss Johns isn’t interested in such trivial pursuits,” Jared said coldly, as if delivering a stinging p to Tatiana.


    Tatiana realized Jared was suggesting she couldn’tpare to Madisyn.


    In her mind, Madisyn was only able to work with Jared due to her family’s influence.


    Anger surged within Tatiana.


    Courtney also felt ufortable.


    As an artist, she disliked the emphasis on material wealth.
