Chapter 296


    The next day, Ezra asked ke to apany Pearl on a shopping trip to the biggest mall for clothes


    and jewelry. ke didn’t feel like it at first, but Izia templed him with the promise of a higher allowance,


    so ke reluctantly agreed.


    Ezra smiled and handed a card to Pearl. “You’re a Jordan now, and you’ll be treated equally including


    your allowance. Take this card and spend it on anything you want. If you run out of money, feel free to


    let me know.”


    The ck card had golden prints, and Pearl noticed it was the same type as hers !! was a privilege that


    not even people of high status could easily obtain


    Although Ezra was a snake, he wasn’t a miser


    Pearl wanted to say no, but considering the facade the old man was maintaining, she epted the


    card. She decided to indulge in a bit of retail therapy with his money


    After arriving at the mall, Pearl walked around while ke trailed behind her with his hands in his


    pocket, looking very annoyed.


    After half a day, Pearl hadn’t found anything she liked and had refrained from making any purchases.


    “ke, if you’re tired, you can take a break. I’ll call you when I’m done” Pearl grinned, observing how


    he was dragging his feet. “But your stamina is terrible”


    “Who has terrible stamina?” ke was about to agree to rest, but after hearing thatment, he


    changed his mind. “Let’s keep walking. We’re not leaving until nighttime”


    Pearl was amused at his annoyance, so she turned and continued her exploration


    She came across a shop where a particr outfit caught her eye. It was a knee length ck dress that


    entuated her wless waistline. The bottom of the dress was adorned with a floral design, and its


    cut-out sleeves and cor added a touch of flirtiness.


    The staff noticed Pearl’s interest and approached her with a friendly smile. “You have excellent taste,


    ma’am. This dress is our best seller, and there are only three in the world. This is thest one. It


    Pearl didn’t seem particrly interested, merely gazing at the dress as if it held some familiarity.


    The staff continued, “This dress is really exquisite. Why don’t you give it a try?” Then, she noticed

    ke standing behind them, and her eyes gleamed mischievously “Your om ask your boyfriend. You’d


    look great in this dress.”


    Pearl raised her brows. “He’s not my boyfriend.”


    ke rolled his eyes. “There’s no way I’d be interested in a woman like her.”


    The staff stood there awkwardly, unsure how to react.


    Suddenly, a high-pitched and overly sweet voice emanated from behind. It was so sugary it became


    grating. “I like this dress. Let me try it on.”


    Pearl turned to see a woman decked out in designer clothes from head to toe, but she still


    exuded a cheap aura. She took a step back.


    The woman assumed Pearl recognized her and raised her head haughtily, like a peacock


    disying its plumage. “Be clever about this. There’s no point trying to buy something I’m interested


    in.”


    Pearl was ready to leave, but when she heard that, she turned around and confronted the woman.


    “What did you say?”


    The woman scowled and spoke rudely, “What? I like this dress. Do I need your approval to buy it?”


    “Are you a spoiled brat? Why do you talk like your brain’s dried up?”


    The woman didn’t immediatelyprehend the remark about her brain being dried up. After a moment,


    she realized it was an insinuation that shecked intelligence, and her anger red. “What did you say?


    I’m Willow Quinlevan. Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?”
