Elie Clark nodded with a proud look on her face and said with a satisfied smile, "Yes, he wants to show off and I can't wait to see him get into trouble. Haha, Joanna, this is not me kidding him, it is the bastard kidding himself. So this time you can not blame me, right??"
Elie rolled her eyes at Joanna. Just before, her best friend put in a good word for Ethan, so that Elie was on the verge of exploding. She said those words to Joanna on purpose to express her dissatisfaction.
Lily laughed, curled her lips, and said, "That's right, Joanna. We have been friends for such a long time, but you blame Elie for that poor guy. Oh, don't you like Ethan, do you? Hehe, your taste is really good if you like that kind of person. You are really... Aha..."
Joanna's face turned red after hearing Lily's words and was a little angry.
She thought that "I was just justified. Ethan did nothing to you guys, but you guys always deliberately put up obstacles for him. Now I just said a few words for him, and then you turned the shot to blame me."
Joanna took a look at the back of Ethan and said angrily, "Do you have any problem if I do like Ethan? And what's wrong with him? Why you guys always are hostile to him. Did he cheat you or hurt you? Yes, he is not rich, but it was not caused by him. No one can promise that he'll always be rich or poor. Who can tell that if Ethan can't become up-class 20 years later? Could you promise to be successful 20 years later?"
"Are you bossing Ethan because of your own ability?" Joanna looked at Elie and said, "Elie, if you don't have a good dad, what would happen to you now? I think you are more clear than me, right? You think you are superior to Ethan, but it's just because your father gave you a higher foundation. Look at yourself, is your study better than Ethan, or your quality better than him? Hehe..."
Joanna felt much more relaxed after saying these words. In fact, she had been holding these words in her heart and had been tired of Elie for a long time. Today, she finally took this opportunity to spit it out.
After finishing her words, Joanna walked directly to Ethan, ignoring Elie and Lily.
She knew that Ethan couldn't afford these shoes anyway. Last night, it just so happened that her father gave her 5,000 dollars to take the driving license, and she wanted to use it to help Ethan at this moment.
Anyway, Elie had just pushed her to Ethan's side, then let her really stood on here. Anyway, she wanted to support Ethan and she couldn't let these girls look down on him this time.
Elie looked at Joanna's back and pouted her mouth, full of dissatisfaction. "I really don't know how that poor guy bewitched Joanna to let her speak for him like that." "Is Joanna crazy? We've been good friends for so long. I never expect that she would say something like this to you for Ethan. Well, I think she's changed!" Lily rolled her eyes and said, "Elie, in my opinion, we shouldn't be a friend with Joanna in the future. You have to think about it. If she insists to stay with Ethan, this poor guy, we will also be reduced at same time.¹'
Elie thought for a while. She didn't say anything but was even madder in her heart.
At the cashier counter, an assistant respectfully handed over the packaged sneakers to Ethan. Just as Ethan was about to swipe his card, Joanna and Elie came up to him.
Elie looked at Ethan gloatingly, with a very obvious mocking smile. She grinned and said, "What are you looking at? Aren't you buying shoes? Then pay for it quickly! I'm waiting for you. Hehe, you can’t afford it, can you? Don't pretend anymore"
Ethan didn't say any word and didn't even want to talk to Elie. He thought this woman was childish and ridiculous. He took out his card and handed it directly to the cashier.
But at this time, a hand appeared out, grabbed Ethan's card, and stuffed it into his hand.
Ethan was stunned. Then he saw Joanna looking at him with a frown.
"Stop it, Ethan. Don't you see that they are waiting to laugh at you?" Joanna sighed and said, "They all know that you have no money, so they just want to see your embarrassment when you can't afford it. Are you sincerely trying to let them laugh at you?"
Ethan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "Thank you for your kindness, Joanna. But I can afford this pair of shoes."
After finishing his words, Ethan was about to hand over his card, but Joanna robbed him of it once again. Joanna was a little angry and scolded him. "Ah! What's wrong with you? Do you like being laughed at? Put your card away quickly. Do you like these shoes? I'll buy them for you."
As soon as Joanna finished her words, not only Ethan but also Elie and Lily, who were next to her, were stunned.
"You...you'll buy it for me?" Ethan said in astonishment. "Why?"
