Novel1Chapter 835 Treat 1/4 "Jean, don't you realize that it was your mom's company that kept your dad's business afloat? Now that she's pulled out all her support, your dad's company is on the verge of collapse. We can't afford these luxuries right now.
"You should save up for your future. You'll need for your future. You'll need money when you get married, and your dad has been stressed out over work lately. Let's just be practical, okay?" Amelie said, her tone clipped.
The moment Jean heard that they couldn't buy the shoes, her heart sank.
"But these shoes aren't even that expensive! They're just a few thousand dollars. Does my dad really not have that much to spare?

I wasn't sure what to get, but I thought I'd pick up a few winter coats for you." Diana chuckled, shaking her head. "Oh, Ms. Robinson, you don't need to go to such lengths. I'm a fashion designer, after all. I have plenty of clothes at home." Lily looked a bit conflicted. "No, I insist! I really want to give you something. It'll makefeel better."
