Maya got a tad impatient. "How many more times do you need me to make myself clear? As long as you do as I say, you'll be swimming in cash in the future. College doesn't mean anything to rich people like us."
If Dana replaced Mia as Ms. Lane, would she be lacking money? No. That was why college wouldn't matter anymore.
Needless to say, Maya hoped that Dana would skip college because Maya would be able to wrap her hands around her more easily.
"But college is very important for someone like me," Dana insisted.
Dana's disagreement drew out the sharp edge of Maya's tone. "Fine. Since you don't want to cooperate, I might as well tell Mr. Shaw that you're here."
"No! Ms. Lane, please, I'm begging you." A frantic Dana pleaded as she tugged at Maya. Dana’s fingers accidentally scratched Maya's luxury bag, leaving a mark on it.
The scratch on her luxury bag riled Maya up. "Do you know how much this costs? How dare you scratch it! This is my first time using it!"
Maya hurriedly wiped the surface, but the scratch couldn't be wiped off.
Dana flopped onto the ground. She knelt on her knees while clinging onto Maya's leg. "I'm terribly sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose!"
"That won't make up for your mistake! Even if you work for the rest of your life, you won't be able to pay for it!"
Dana was in hot water. "Aren't you rich, Ms. Lane? It's just a bag. It should be nothing to you."
