His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 998

“My God! What an embarrassment!”

“Do you guys remember how Wendy was just jeering at Arielle for bidding for something she couldn't afford? Well, I just saw our goddess paying fifteen million without batting an eye! Looks like Wendy's the one who's really feigning affluence after all!”

The students from the preparatory class shook their heads in disdain.

“Tsk! Tsk! Our goddess just spent fifteen million on a vase for the sake of charity, unlike that mother-and-daughter duo, who cared only about challenging our goddess despite not having any money! What a disgrace indeed!”

Sharp-eared, Cecilia had no trouble overhearing those gossips and immediately bellowed in anger, “Shut up, all of you!” “There's no way our family can't afford fifteen million,” Wendy stated coolly as well. “This machine's definitely broken.”

The attendant shook his head. “No, I'm sure it's fine. Arielle just made a payment of fifteen million a moment ago. Don't you have another card?”

Arielle again!

Her fist clenched tightly, Wendy reached into her purse and whipped out her own card.

“Dad's probably contracted a few big projects this month and used up all the credit limits. Here, Mom, use mine instead.”

Cecilia nodded in agreement, unable to find a better explanation for what was going on. “All right. Let's use yours for now.

Thus, Wendy nodded and confidently extended her card to the attendant.

There you go.

The attendant reached for it expressionlessly. After performing a series of actions on the card machine, he returned it to Wendy again.

“I'm sorry, but your card was the same.”

“W-What?” Wendy's face became dark as thunder, and her voice turned cold. “Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? How could my card not work as well?”

She knew for a fact that there was more than a hundred million in that card.

The attendant shrugged. “I don't have the answer for that, but I did try that card twice with the same result. Do either of you have a spare card?”

Wendy's jaw tensed as a wave of panic surged in her chest.

She had a sudden premonition that something had gone wrong with their family business.
