When Nora said this, the whole place went silent.
Yvonne raised her eyebrows.
Louis was even more surprised, but he reacted quickly and asked, âDid the Andersons give it to you?â
âNo.â
When he came to stay with the Smiths, Melissa was willing to give him money. However, the proceeds from the Rest Pills had not yet been received in full, and they didnât have much on hand.
Melissa had prepared a million dollars. After all, all the Andersons only had that much at the time.
However, Nora didnât want it and had secretly left the card in the room.
Louis was perplexed. âSo, what are you offering?â
Nora: âMy own money.â
His own⦠This was the money she earned?
She was just a California girl-how much money could she have?
However, since she had said so, Louis took the money back and asked, âCan you lend me some money?â
âOkay, how much do you want?â
Nora answered this time bluntly.
After all, she was excited because Louis had given her money just now.
Louis: â???â
Yvonne: â?
Even Florence was stunned when she heard this.
She pursed her lips. âMaster Louis, canât you borrow money from someone else, how can you borrow money from Miss Nora?â
Louis immediately lifted his chin and said, âWhy canât I borrow money from her? Speaking of which, sheâs my sister!â
After saying that, he looked straight at Nora and scratched his blonde hair. âBorrow from me⦠150?â
Nora: â?â
Feeling her gaze, Louis felt that he had asked for too little, so he added: â1,500?â
Nora: â?â
âThen⦠¿15.000?â
Louisâ daily expenses each month were about $50,000. $15,000 wasnât much for him, but when he thought about Noraâs identity, he feared he couldnât afford it.
While he was worried, Nora pulled a bank card out of his pajama pocket. âTake it.â
Louis: â?â
Florence and Yvonne looked at each other and understood.
They both thought that Nora really didnât have much money. She was just pretending to be rich.
There could be millions on her bank card, but there could also be hundreds. Giving Louis a bank card would save her image in front of the servants so that others wouldnât make fun of her for not having money.
It was too clever.
Yvonne pursed her lips.
Louis reacted as well. He took the bank card hurriedly. âOkay, thanks!â
He took the bank card and walked out of the Smiths without even looking at Yvonne.
Yvonne looked down.
Nora went to change her clothes and prepared to leave. As she passed the downstairs living room, Yvonne saw her and asked, âNora, where are you going?â.
Nora: ââ¦To the Hunts.â
Yvonne bit her lips with a hurt expression.
Florence said coldly, âMiss Nora, now that you know youâve stolen Miss Yvonneâs fiancé, you donât have to brag about it, do you?â.
Nora: â?â
Were these two people crazy?
She didnât answer him. Instead, she walked away with a cold stare and headed for the door. Florence, who was trailing behind her, still said quietly, âMiss Yvonne, donât stoop to their level. I can tell at a glance that you are the kind of person who flaunts her accomplishments everywhere. A woman who depends on a man ends up having bad luck. She is not like you. You can rely on yourself.â
Nora: â!!!â
She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around suddenly.
Perhaps sensing her movements, Yvonne and Florence looked up.
Nora suddenly smiled. âThen I wish you well, and may you receive an email from the Hacker Alliance as soon as possibleâ¦â.
She left after saying those sarcastic words.
In the living room.
When Yvonne heard this, her heart almost stopped.
For some reason, she now felt that Nora had read her mind.
She bit her lip.
Florence frowned. âWhat do you mean, sheâs cursing you for not passing? Thatâs too much. She sounds like a woman who grew up in a small family. She doesnât look like the Smithsâ daughter at all.â
Yvonne took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in her heart. âMadame Florence, donât mention the Hacker Alliance in front of her. If they donât accept me, wouldnât that be a bad joke?â
However, Florence said matter-of-factly, âHow can that be? Your skills are so good that they wonât reject you. Besides, even if they donât accept you, itâs not your turn to be made fun of! Miss Yvonne, you have to remember that you are Mr. Smithâs daughter! Even if you are an adopted daughter, your status is still much higher than hers! Master Ian is the direct descendant!â
ââ¦â

Nora didnât listen to their conversation anymore. She drove the black car the Smiths had prepared for her to visit Cherry at the Huntsâ house.
On the way, she suddenly saw Louis squatting by the side of the road, not far away.
His car pulled over to the side.
Nora slowed down and saw Louis with some food in his hand. He was feeding stray dogs and cats. At the same time, he was making a call. ââ¦How is the amount of money I have this month going to be enough to buy food, Chester, lend me $100,000!â
âWhat, your big brother deducted your pocket money and blocked your credit card, why are we still in the same state!â
âItâs okay, itâs okay. I understand. Iâll think of something. jeez!â
After hanging up, he lowered his head dejectedly. He looked down at his deflated wallet and sighed loudly toward the stray cats. âLittle friends, youâll have to suffer with me this month! I only have $1,500, so I canât give you anything to eat! Okay, Iâll go shopping for food first. I have to calculate. $1,500 for thirty days. Does that mean $300 a day? No, $50? Oh, my goodness, $50 can only buy two pieces of meat! Thatâs not enough for either of us! Geez, Iâm leaving.â
Louis got into the car without even looking at Nora.
Nora: ââ¦â
She drove in silence and followed Louis. She watched as he entered the cat food store and squatted down, looking at the cans of meat inside like a pitiful puppy.
Nora: ââ¦â
She stopped the car and walked into the cat food store. She hears Louis talking to himself. âLittle friends, Iâm sorry. I can only let them eat their kibble ration this month. You wonât be able to eat meat anymore. We used to have $3,000 for our meals, but this month we only have $1,500? Why am I so pitiful?â
Feeding stray cats was supposed to be done within oneâs means.
However, Louis had developed feelings for those stray cats and always wanted to give them the best.
In the past, he fed them premium cat food. Now, he was downgrading his standard of living.
As I was thinking, Nora walked in. She pointed to the can of cat food and said to the wait staff, âI want 60 cans of this.â
Louis: â!!!!â
He turned his head slowly and saw Nora standing next to him.
He jumped to his feet. âNora, why are you causing trouble? I donât have money to buy 60 cans.â
Seeing that he was about to explode, Nora covered his mouth with three wordsâ¦. âIâve got it.â
