"Here's the money, all ready and loaded onto this card," he said, handing over a bank card containing a billion dollars.
Kenley's heart fluttered as she accepted the money.
Asher, the fifth young master of the Larsen family, didn't hold much real power, so this was likely all the money he could gather.
"Asher, I can't thank you enough for this. I don't know what I would have done without you," Kenley said, her eyes filled with admiration.
Asher couldn't help but feel that his visit this afternoon had been worthwhile.
As Kenley suspected, although Asher had never been short on money, it was his family that provided for all his expenses.
And he didn't want anyone to know it.
So, he had to sell off some of his belongings and borrow thirty million from a friend.
What's worse, he even had suffered humiliation from Elianna!
Once, she had showered him with attention, and even dared to seduce him!
But now that he was willing to reciprocate, she rejected him, going as far as kicking him!
That infuriating woman...
"Asher?"
Kenley spoke for a while and finally noticed that Asher was lost in thought.
She asked with a timid voice, "Asher, what's the matter? Are you mad at me?"
Asher embraced Kenley, comforting her. "How could I ever be mad at you?"
"You're just too naive. You need to be more cautious next time." he continued.
"Yes, yes, Asher. I'll cook for you at home, and just stay with you." Kenley replied sweetly.
"That's right. A girl should focus on making a cozy home and behaving properly. Don't be like Elianna, she is not a proper woman!"
Kenley didn't know that Asher was actually frustrated because his attempts to get closer to Elianna had failed.
She assumed he just didn't like Elianna for other reasons.
So she tried to be even more submissive. "I would never dare to argue with you like her, Asher. Every moment I spend with you is valuable, and I don't want to get you mad."
"Good girl," Asher replied.
He continued, "Let me go with you tomorrow, so those people won't bother you anymore."
Kenley was uncertain.
She had planned to visit Treasures Gallerie to buy the painting. If Asher joined her, he would discover her hidden motives.
Finally, she responded, "There is no need, Asher. If they find you are the young master of the Larsen family, they will surely demand more money."
"Alright, just be cautious! And if anything happens, please call me," he said.
"I will, Asher." Kenley tightly clutched the bank card, resolute and satisfied.
...
The next day, Kenley made her appearance once again at the Treasures Gallerie, fully prepared.
Looking down upon Abraham, she handed him the bank card and declared, "There's one hundred million in here. Fetch me the Plum Blossoms."
Abraham was squatting on the balcony, munching on his breakfast from a broken bowl.
Finally, he shot her a sideways glance and spat out the cilantro leaves from his mouth.
"You're too late. The painting has just been sold." he said.
"Sold?!"
Kenley got angry. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"I wanted to buy it, and you actually went ahead and sold it? How dare you?"
Abraham looked at her incredulously.
"Did you give me a deposit or sign any documents? Or just because you saw it, does that mean I can't sell it to someone else?" he responded.
Angrily, Kenley had no idea but asked, "Then who did you sell it to?"
Abraham nonchalantly slurped his porridge before replying, "I'm sorry, miss. I have to maintain customer confidentiality. How can I simply divulge such information to..."
He cast a disdainful look at Kenley and continued, "A lady who doesn't even want to show your face?"
...
Kenley left the Treasures Gallerie frustrated.
She spent a lot to get the money, but now he had sold the painting?!
Suddenly, she caught sight of someone across the street holding a painting box and speaking on the phone.
