Chapter 876

Francine skipped her lunch just so she could redo the questions. After painstakingly going through the

questions again, she passed the book to Corinne.

“Here. All done.”

Corinne took a look at it and chuckled softly. “Not bad. You’ve got ten questions right. Quite an

improvement.’’

Francine felt a little humiliated. ’I only got ten questions right after listening to the lesson for an hour?’

“I’m hungry! I’m going to have my lunch now.” She could not stand to be humiliated by the one person

she looked down at the most, so she chose to run away.

“Wait,” ordered Corinne softly.

Francine stopped in her tracks and turned back to glare at her. “What? I can’t even have my lunch? Do

you want me to starve to death?”

Corinne put down the practice book, stood up, and put on her jacket. “I’m hungry too, so let’s go out

and eat together.”

Francine was a little surprised. ’She’s inviting me out to lunch? Is this another one of her tricks?’

“Heh! I wouldn’t be caught dead with you out in public. Don’t you know how embarrassing that is?”

Instead of being angry, Corinne straightened out her jacket and said, “What if we drop by the Hermes

store on the way to get you a bag?”

Francine’s eyes widened like saucers, and she could have sworn she heard wrong. “What did you

say?”

Corinne raised her eyebrow. “You don’t want to?”

Francine had no idea what Corinne was up to. I want to, but I didn’t get half of the questions right…”

“You get ten Hermes bags if you get half of the questions right, so going in that vein, you get one

Hermes bag when you get ten questions right.”

Francine’s eyes immediately lit up. “You… You’re not lying to me, right?”

Corinne took out a gold card and held it between her two fingers. “Does it look like I’m lying? So what

do you say?”

“Let’s go, then!” Francine swiftly declared. ’But just give me a moment to change!”

She thus ran into her room to change into something better.

Corinne yawned lazily as she watched Francine excitedly run back to her room. ‘Sometimes, I really

envy girls who get their happiness from bags. After all, their dreams only required some hard-earned

money…’

She never had any interest in material stuff. What she wanted to achieve was something intangible…

something that was difficult to put into words but would give her immeasurable peace and spiritual

fulfillment once she obtained it.

Bowen was both surprised and happy that the two girls, who did not get along with each other, were

going out to eat together. He quickly arranged for the family’s driver to drive them to the mall.

During the car ride, Francine hummed happily as she checked out the latest Hermes bag on her phone

while Corinne looked out at the window, lost in her thoughts.

Suddenly, Francine showed Corinne her phone. “Corinne, which of these two colors looks better?”

Corinne took a glance and said, “The one on the right.”

Francine thought so, too. “Hey, you got quite a good taste for a country bumpkin.”

Francine had been calling Corinne a country bumpkin since she married into the family, so instead of

getting angry, she simply ignored her. That was how desensitized she was to the insult.
