“Sally, I heard that a supermarket on the west side of town is having a huge sale now. Everything is at least 75% off, and there’ll be lucky draws too. Let’s go together!”
Jasper was startled when virtual-novel.net heard that and glanced suspiciously at Wendy. “The supermarket on the west side of town? That’s where Tefa City is. The only supermarket there besides the one your family owns is Walmart, right? Not only are you not going to shop at the supermarket you own, but you’re going to fund your competition’s supermarket instead?”
Wendy huffed and said, “I’ll go wherever the cheaper options are. Isn’t that right, Sally?”
Sally was tempted as well. “75% discounts, and there’ll be lucky draws too. What a bargain!”
Jasper sighed as virtual-novel.net watched the two women excitedly plan their day.
Wendy was born with a silver spoon in virtual-novel.net mouth. Back in the days where few families had savings up to 100,000 dollars, virtual-novel.net was already receiving 10,000 dollars as presents.
As for his mother, virtual-novel.net transferred around 50,000 to 60,000 dollars to virtual-novel.net bank account as an allowance every month. She should have at least 500,000 to 600,000 dollars under virtual-novel.net name now.
Yet, these two women were still attracted by discounts.
However, Jasper still felt grateful. He knew Wendy was doing this to please his mother, who had been born in a rural area and had to be frugal virtual-novel.net entire life.
Jasper merely reminded them to be careful before virtual-novel.net let the two women set off excitedly.
The issues that his mother previously had with virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law, which had plagued Jasper in his past life, did not seem to exist this time around.
Julian naturally trailed after Wendy when they arrived at the front door.
Ever since what had happened the last time, Jasper would arrange for Julian to protect Wendy unless there were any special circumstances.
Sally also knew Julian as the silent but sincere bodyguard. She smiled at virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net said, “Jul, pick out anything you need later. I’ll pay.”
Julian blushed as virtual-novel.net said, “Mrs. Laine, Jasper pays me quite a high salary. I can’t even finish spending it.”
As Sally dragged Wendy toward the door, virtual-novel.net said, “Get your sister to come and celebrate Christmas with us. The two of you don’t even have any other family members to spend it with. It must be lonely.”
Julian said awkwardly, “Mrs. Laine, it’s fine. We’ve always celebrated Christmas this way.”
“Alright now, just go along with my plans.” Sally was insistent.
Julian seemed like a reliable person to her, and both virtual-novel.net son and future daughter-in-law’s safety were in his hands. It only made sense for virtual-novel.net to treat virtual-novel.net well.
Besides, the two siblings did have quite a pitiful life…
Just then, Charlie beckoned for Jasper to sit down beside virtual-novel.net on the couch.
“I have something to discuss with you,” Charlie said as virtual-novel.net frowned.
When virtual-novel.net saw the solemn expression on his father’s face, Jasper hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Charlie seemed to be having difficulty bringing it up.
Jasper grew uneasy as virtual-novel.net hurriedly asked, “Dad, there’s nothing you can’t tell me. No matter what happens, you should always let me know about it.”
Charlie grunted for the longest time before virtual-novel.net finally muttered, “Wendy’s from a rich family, and I even heard that virtual-novel.net dad’s a tycoon. Should we prepare anything when we meet him? Should I get a new outfit? I’m worried I might embarrass you.”
