Charlotte's eyes nearly popped out of her head in surprise.
Holy cow! Can money really solve problems?
Why hadn't she thought of this method before?
Thirty grand! She had the money!
But Vivienne was a real lifesaver. She could have chosen to run away, but instead she chose to help her out.
Charlotte was deeply moved, so moved that she was on the verge of tears.
Just as she was reeling in surprise, she heard Vivienne point at her and say, "Alright! Thirty grand, she's got you covered!"
Charlotte’s tears were gone.
That was a wasted emotional rollercoaster!
"She?" David looked towards Charlotte with a disdainful look, "Does she even have that much money?"
He didn't believe it!
And you couldn't blame him!
After all, Charlotte always dressed in an edgy way, very casual, and often dyed her hair all sorts of colors!
Like right now, the clothes she was wearing were worth less than what the girl next to her was wearing.
Even though Vivienne didn't look like she was loaded either, at least she had the confidence to immediately offer twenty grand.
Not at all like Charlotte!
If she had the money, she would have used it to solve the problem already, why the hassle?
Plain-looking Charlotte was speechless.
She, the princess of the Redwood family, was actually being looked down upon!
With that thought, Charlotte straightened up, lifted her head, "Who are you looking down on? Give me your bank account number, I'll transfer the thirty grand to you right now!"
David handed over his account details with a puzzled expression.
Charlotte quickly took out her phone and transferred the money in a flash.
In less than a minute, David's phone received a notification.
He looked at the number on the message, feeling like he was dreaming, counting with disbelief, "Wow! It's really thirty grand!"
Charlotte was this rich?!
If he knew earlier, he would have asked for fifty grand!
What a blunder!
But he was a man of his word, since he said thirty grand, he wouldn't go back on it.
"Deal!" Having solved one problem, Charlotte was all smiles, "Next time you see me, better not cause any trouble."
She only knew before that money could be used to buy pretty clothes, makeup, and to enjoy life.
She never thought it could be used this way!
You learn something new every day.
"Of course!"
David paused for a moment, leaned in close to Charlotte, and whispered, "Of course, if there is anything you can't handle, you can always come to me, we can negotiate a price."
Charlotte, "…I have to go."
Charlotte left with Vivienne and her three friends. When they reached the corner of the street, she told her friends to go on ahead.
When it was just her and Vivienne, she finally said, "Thanks for that."
"No problem." Vivienne smiled, "You helped me too."
Charlotte knew she was talking about the Hawthorn family matter, "That wasn't exactly helping you, I just couldn't stand Arabella."
This was her second time meeting Vivienne, but she felt they hit it off well.
