Rachel said in surprise, âWhat?! I can buy several of these bags with that money!â
âThen you can just go buy them!â Isabella said calmly to her.
Rachel was at a loss for words. She couldnât get another one because it was a limited edition bag.
Just then, Matthew, who was standing nearby, said, âIâm taking the bag.â
Matthew slowly walked over to Isabella. He was dressed casually ina white suit and appeared very calm.
Isabella froze when she realized the boy looked familiar. âDo you want it?â she asked.
âYes. Have you regretted it?â
âOne hundred thousand dollars. Would you like to give me cash or a check?â
Matthew thought the girl in front of him looked very familiar, and he gently explained, âDonât be mad, I just really like this bag. Iâm buying it from you because | want to give it to someone.â
Isabella didnât like what they were doing and thought there was no way the woman could have spent that much money on the bag, However, she didnât expect this kid to do that.
Also, Isabella felt she couldnât go back on her word because she had already said it. So, she said, âJust transfer the money to my bank card.â
Before Matthew could say anything, Rachel came over and said to Isabella meanly, âDo you think you can bully Matthew because heâs a kid? 410 A Gift for Mom Iâm telling you, I donât want this bag anymore!â
Isabella said, rolling her eyes at Rachel, âIf you donât have the money, you can just tell me. You canât say you donât want it after youâve asked the price. Itâs pretty humiliating.â
âWhat are you talking about? You are so rude!â
Isabella said angrily, âYou are the one whoâs rude! You think youâre the only rich person in the city? If you really want this bag, you should have been nicer to me! Do you think you own this mall?â
Rachel triumphantly raised her chin and exclaimed, âYes!â
âGive me your bank card number and Iâll give you the money now,â Matthew said to Isabella after stopping Rachel from saying anything else.
Isabella said to Matthew, glaring at Rachel. âDude, your nanny is so rude. Youâd better get another one.â
âAre you calling me a nanny? What are you talking about? You bent Matthew gave Rachel a look and said, âStop it! Youâd better watch your language. You donât want me to tell my father what you said, do you?â
Isabella realized that this condescending woman might be the boyâs stepmother, but he didnât seem to want to talk to her. A few seconds later, Isabella received a text message saying she had received $100,000 in her account. She handed the bag to Matthew and said, âHere you go. Bye.â
Matthew nodded. He looked at Isabellaâs back, then asked, âHave we met somewhere before?â
She didnât stop, just turned back and smiled and said, âThatâs such a clichéd way to pick up girls.â 410 A Gift for Mom Matthew remained motionless and frowned tightly. He had the impression that they had met before. Standing next to him, Rachel said, âMatthew, thank you for buying me something so expensive. Iâll pay you the money later. If your father finds out about it, heâll think Iâm rude. Let me take it for you.â
Much to her surprise, Matthew gave her a cold look and said, âItâs not for you, itâs a gift | bought for my mother.â Rachel stood there frozen, unsure of what to do. âIâm done shopping, so Iâm leaving,â Matthew said as he walked forward with his shopping bag.
Anna returned home from the hospital and found the two girls in the living room playing a game. Isabella had a great time with her gamepad, but Tammy appeared upset. She sat on the couch and frowned.
âWho upset you, my baby?â Anna asked as she pinched Tammyâs face.
âAsk Isabella. Sheâs the one who upset me.â
âWhat?â Anna asked, surprised.
Isabella turned around, leaned back on the couch, and exclaimed, âNo! To be honest, it was a good deal!â
Anna got the gist of the situation by listening to them argue.
âWe paid less than $10,000 for that bag, but a man paid $100,000 for it. Isnât that the best offer on the planet?â
âtâs all your fault! | really wanted to give that bag to my mother!â
âYou can use the money to buy a lot of presents for her!â
âMom!â Tammy became enraged Anna laughed and said, âOK, stop fighting, You bought this bag for 410 A Gift for Mom less than $10,000 and made ten times that amount! Girls, you now have $100,000! You can spend that money on amusement park tickets and have as much fun as you want there. You should be happy right now.â
Tammy had always enjoyed going to the amusement park. So, after hearing Annaâs words, she wasnât as angry as she was before.
Isabella said, âYes! Letâs go to the amusement park tomorrow! | heard that a big new one just opened, and we havenât been there yet!â
âMom, are you coming with us?â Tammy asked.
Anna shook her head and said, âIâm sorry, honey. Iâve been very busy with work lately. Iâll take you there sometime later.â
After Anna left, Isabella asked thoughtfully, âIs she really that busy? Maybe she needs to go on dates.â Tammy asked in surprise, âWhat if thatâs true?â
âWe can follow her and see whether itâs true! Thatâs the easiest way. That way, weâll know where she goes and who she sees every day.â
If Anna found out about this, they both considered blaming each other. They had lived together for many years and knew each other very well.
Anna had recently been to Wayneâs office to change his bandages several times. She only stayed for a short time each time and then left. Wayne had invited her to dinner several times, but she had never said yes. She was aware that many people were watching her and gossiping about her.
At noon, she went to Wayneâs office when she overheard the nurse gossiping in the bathroom.
âDo you know that new pediatric intern? Sheâs so attractive!â
âOf course | know her, her name is Anna Gabriel. When she arrived 410 A Gift for Mom here, many people asked me about her.
It turns out sheâs married with two children.â
âShe just doesnât appear to be a decent womanâ She went to a company as a representative the other day to give their employees a medical checkup, and you know what she did?â
âWhat?â
âShe had an affair with the Carousel Groupâs CEO.â Someone in the administrative office told me about it. She said she went to that company yesterday to check in and overheard many people discussing it. They even asked her about Anna.â
âNo way! Sheâs married, isnât she? A doctor in my department tried to date her, and that is what she said to refuse him.â
âShe probably thinks heâs too poor. The Carousel Groupâs president is the cityâs wealthiest bachelor. Sheâs probably getting ready to divorce her husband right now.
âSheâs really shameless!
