"Yes, I know. He probably wanted to kidnap us." Sheryl answered casually. "My dad puts a lot of trackers on me, even I may not know about them. He'll still find me even if I take them off. I'm already used to it so don't worry."
This was the child of a rich family.
Olive sighed in her heart. She had good looks since young. Her parents and uncle had always taught her to protect herself well. She had to recognize human traffickers, learn to run away, and... Anyway, no one had ever thought of placing a GPS on her.
"Didn't Uncle Avery give you one?" Sheryl asked.
"No." Olive shook her head.
"Maybe he doesn't think that you would be separated from him. When I see him later, I will mention it to him. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Olive wanted to say no but she also wanted to know Avery's reaction if Sheryl spoke about it to him.
After they had eaten, they went shopping together. They would buy any delicious food and drinks and share them with each other. Sheryl was a big spender, she bought anything she liked. Olive, however, was the opposite. She carefully calculated the cost and compared the prices before buying something she liked.
After a while, Sheryl's bag was already full. Olive wanted to help her with the bags but Sheryl called Shane directly. Soon, Cole came over with two bodyguards behind him.
"Miss Sheryl, we have been looking for you all this time but we didn't dare to come close to you." Cole remained polite in front of Sheryl.
Sheryl took out a handkerchief from her pocket and helped him wipe the sweat on his forehead. "Uncle Cole, I didn't know you were coming. Now that you're here, you can play with us."
"I'm working, Sheryl," Cole said as he took out the things from her bag and placed them into the shopping bags carried by the bodyguards. "Should we send these back to the old house or give them to Mr. Fuller and Ms. Emerson so that they can take them back to the villa?"
"Well... the old house." Sheryl puffed out her cheeks. "Are you sending them back now? It's not easy for you to go back and forth.
"Miss Sheryl, it's nothing."
"Then let's quickly finish our shopping, Olive. You can wait for us awhile!"
Olive was once again pulled into the shopping area by Sheryl. Influenced by Sheryl, she started to spend more too. She paid for everything with Avery's money. She thought Avery would ask her about it, who knows there was no news from him even after she bought dozens of clothes.
Her cell phone rang while she was paying for a hat.
She glanced at it and saw that it was from Avery. Her heart tightened nervously. Her fingers froze for a moment before she picked it up and answered, "Mr. Avery?"
"Hand over your things to Mr. Fuller's men first. Don't take them all by yourself."
"Oh, oh..."
"Buy whatever you like. Don't lose out to Sheryl. Mr. Fuller was showing off to me just now. His daughter had already spent three hundred dollars. Let me take a look... you haven't even spent a hundred dollars. I'll be sad," Avery sobbed as he spoke.
This was the first time Olive had seen Avery behaving like this. She got goosebumps instantly and said, "Well, Mr. Avery..."
"Hahaha well, I won't tease you. You're a smart child. I know you want to help me save money but since you're out, just spend as much as you want. Don't think I'll go bankrupt because you spent some money. I have millions of dollars. You go have fun."
Toot, toot, toot-
An average child might not grasp what a million meant but Olive knew.
And she knew it very clearly.
Olive looked at the hat in her hand and suddenly smiled. She turned around and bought the matching sets with the hat. She wouldn't wear these clothes but she liked them.
Avery could finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw how much she was spending.
"It's really not easy raising a daughter. Do you know she didn't even touch any meat at first? She told me meat was expensive."
"Olive's previous environment was hard. You have to take good care of her," Charlotte said.
"I could never raise her like Sheryl. But I'm pretty curious about this, Sheryl didn't have much money before either, right? How come she spends so much? She spent more than 300 dollars in an amusement park which is even more than an adult."
"Because she has a rich godmother," Charlotte answered helplessly.
"Oh, Anne." Avery nodded with understanding,
