Though she had been living the life of a princesstely, she had not been presented with the price tags of the luxurious lifestyle she had been indulging in.


    Elliot had given her a credit card and she linked it to her phone, using it to make payment. However, she never had the chance to pay as Hayden would always pay if they were all going out.


    Anything that Avery deemed suitable for Ivy would be bought by Hayden at the very instant it was picked up and even if Hayden was not with them, Elliot would always pay before Ivy had the time to register what was happening, so she never quite knew the prices of the things that were bought in the end.


    Seeing that the dress cost seventy thousand, she felt as though she could faint right there and then.


    ''It''s just a dress,'' she thought to herself. ''Why would it cost seventy thousand?''


    Though there were pieces of jewels sewed onto the fabric, Ivy could tell that they were not worth seventy thousand.


    Hayden had given her more jewelleries than she could count and she started learning what determined the prices of them, such as their colors or caret.


    All the jewels used on the dress were tiny ones.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ivy pulled La to the side and whispered, "La, the dress I was looking at cost seventy thousand..."


    "Oh. New dresses usually cost that much," La said calmly. "These are individually designed and they are all one-of-a-kind so you won''t see anyone else wearing the same dress as you; that''s why it''s more expensive."


    "Oh, I see." Though she understood why it would cost such a tremendous amount, Ivy still found it difficult to ept the price. "La, let''s go check out another store! I don''t mind wearing the same dress as other people, so I don''t need to pay that much money just to avoid that."


    La chuckled. "This isn''t really that expensive. A dresses that are individually designede with a starting price of tens of thousands. These are just different from the dresses that are produced in bulk. You will know once you try it on. These look much better.


    "La, it''s still too expensive." Ivy refused to try it on.


    "You will get used to it." La showed Ivy her purse. "My purse cost around the same amount, so did my watch... We work hard so that we can spend it on things we like. I will buy the dress for you, so forget about the price."


    "La, is it really that easy for you to earn money?"


    "It''s not, but years of experience and the connection that umted through that time make it easy. Tate Industries has dered bankruptcy at one point and has been through a lot of crisis after that. Things just finally started looking up for us we overcame all the difficulties," La exined. "Apart from Tate Industries, we have Dad and Hayden''spanies and their


    more... Buying you a seventy


    after


    thousand dress is nothing."


    La instructed the owner to take the dress down so that Ivy could try it on.


    When Ivy stepped out of the dressing room in the dress, La''s eyes lit up. "Let me take a photo and show it to Mom." She took out her phone and snapped a photo, before sending it to Avery.


    When Avery saw the photo, she immediately replied. [My daughter looks great!]


    "Ivy, what do you think? You look like a fairy in that dress even without makeup... Mom says that it suits you, too!" La said.


    ''I better look good if this dress costs


    seventy thousand,'' Ivy thought. She stared into her reflection and simply felt that she looked way more mature in it. She had only worn her school uniform and clothes from flea markets in the past and had never been dressed in something so sophisticated.


    "If you don''t like it, we can shop at other stores as well. There are still a lot of stores that I know!" La whispered into her ear.


    "I think this dress looks great," Ivy immediately blurted out.
