Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 519

Yena would be visiting the Crawford Residence with her mother, but they should not be going there empty-handed. So they went to the nearest shopping mall to look for a gift. Yena asked obediently, "Mommy, what does old Mrs. Crawford like?"

Yena’s mother pondered for a while and answered, "She has everything. But when I saw the dancing video uploaded by her, she was wearing a gold bracelet. " When you don’t know about what someone likes, it’s always good to start observing what they’re wearing to have a rough idea. "Since Mrs. Crawford wears a gold bracelet, most probably she’ll like it if we give her another one." Her mother explained to her as they walked, "Do you understand it?"

Yena seemed to be a little bit blurred. Her mother continued to say, "For an example, you can observe what your Uncle Blake likes, then we can give him that." Yena pondered for a while and said, "Uncle Blake likes a black SUV, a tall and cool one." Her mother was stunned; she saw the car too, and it must have cost a fortune; she could not possibly afford one.

The two of them arrived at the shops to look for gold accessories. Yena’s mother knew that they should give Bettany something good, but she was getting awkward looking at the accessories. The salesperson said with a smile, "It’s best to give the elder a yellow gold with the highest concentration. There are many different types of gold; our shop does not have 24 karat gold bracelets, but we have the second best, which is 18 karat." The salesperson thought that they were rich, so she tried her best to promote it to them. "And this is not that expensive; it’s only 28 million dollars." She picked the most expensive one to recommend to them.

Yena’s mother was dumbstruck by the amount; she could not afford an SUV that cost a few million dollars, so naturally she could not afford something like this. She put on a friendly smile and said, "It’s just for some elder that I’m not close to, so I don’t need it to be this expensive." The salesperson was disappointed, but she could understand her concerns. She showed her another one and said, "What about this? This only cost ten million dollars." Yena’s mother still shook her head and said, "It’s still too much." If I have the money, of course it’s best for me to give the bracelet that costs 20 million dollars, but I don’t have that type of money! I didn’t even have 10 million dollars!

The salesperson could only pick up the last gold bracelet and said, "Then you’re only left with this choice, but the pattern isn’t suitable for the elderly." She sounded too forward, and the rich lady at the side glanced at them. Yena’s mother felt awkward, so she simply nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll take this. How much is this?" She answered, "This costs 2.8 million dollars; shall I pack this up for you?" From 28 million dollars to 2.8 million dollars, if she still refused to buy, she would be ruining her own reputation. She pretended to be calm and said, "Alright, please do."

Someone called her phone at that moment, and she hurriedly said, "Please wait for me for a moment; I’ll answer this call first." She did not have 2.8 million dollars on her either; her husband treated her stepdaughter better than her; he always gave her gifts instead of money. He always limited her from buying things by herself, and he forbade her from using credit cards, attending gatherings, and also owning others' money." She wanted to use this chance to call someone to borrow some money, but she was worried that people would have seen through her intention, so she left Yena by the counter. "Yena, wait for me here. I’ll be back shortly after the call." Yena nodded.

Ten minutes had passed, and her mother was still making the call; she seemed like she was very into the conversation with her best friend. Half an hour later, she was still on the phone; everyone was giving her a weird look. Somebody whispered, "Can it be that she’s calling to borrow money? She didn’t seem like she could afford it.

"I know right... Tsk… She seems like a rich lady, and the bracelet that she’s wearing should be worth around 10 million dollars. Yet she has to borrow 2 million dollars now…"

"Well, didn’t you know that some people like to pretend to be rich? She could have rented her bracelet." They were whispering the whole time, yet Yena could hear everything. She was sensitive to sound, as she always eavesdropped to know how she should behave, especially when her parents were fighting, her stepsister was walking, and so on. She could feel everyone staring at her. "And she purposely left her daughter here; is she worried that people will be laughing at her?"

"It must be sad to be her daughter." Yena lowered her head; her cheeks were burning red. And she was holding up her tears. We’re both from rich families; why does Lilly have everything? Uncle Blake even bought her an island to build her a theme park. Everyone loves and pampers her, and I have to face situations like this. I have to be laughed at and mocked while Mommy borrows money to buy the bracelet. I must get Uncle Blake to like me! Mommy says that he’s powerful and rich, and everyone respects him. If I had someone like this to pamper me, no one would ever laugh at me again.

After forty minutes, her mother finally managed to borrow the money to buy the bracelet. It should be a happy moment, but her mother felt humiliated, so she hurriedly brought Yena away. It was late when they got out of the shopping mall due to this incident. "Mommy, are we still visiting Old Mrs. Crawford?" She was shamed, so she answered moodily, "We’ll go tomorrow!" She then said, "Yena, whenever you want to visit someone, never go at mealtime unless you’ve made an appointment with them." Yena asked, "Why?"

She would really like to visit Bettany now. After all, she was just a kid. She thought that Bettany would like her when she saw her, and Blake would be happy to accept her soon after. Just when the two of them were talking, a black energy went into Yena’s mother’s bracelet.

"He, he. Yena…" She heard someone calling her, but there was no one around. And the voice was a bit unreal; it sounded like a villain from the movie. Yena’s mother saw her distracted; she frowned and asked, "Yena, are you listening?" She was back in her scenes instantly.
