Things turned out way different from what Alison’s mom had anticipated.
She thought all she had to do was butter up Ivy, put on a little show of helplessness and injustice, maybe throw in some moral pressure, and Ivy would fall for her seemingly reasonable request!
"What kind of people are you? I've heard teachers and other parents praising you. I thought you were the helpful type. I can't believe you're so selfish!" The lady suddenly raised her voice, "You really are a tycoon's daughter, and you can't understand how we poor folks feel at all!"
By this time, the cafeteria started to get crowded.
This was the first time Ivy had encountered such a situation.
However, Hilaria had seen it all before: "Of course, my Ivy is a good kid. You said your family is in a tough spot and you're worried your kid might lose the sponsorship and can't afford to attend this posh school. That's fine, you can always come to me, or Ivy's dad. As long as your kid is a good one, we're willing to help her. But you barging in like a madwoman making this outrageous demand, and then insulting Ivy, do you really think any sane person would want to deal with you?"
"That's right, so what if we're rich? Are we supposed to help you lot unconditionally?" Calvin's fists were clenched tight!
He glanced at Ivy, then said with obvious disgust, "Miss, we have to steer clear of people like this in the future!"
Ivy still didn't understand why her being a rich kid meant she had to help Alison.
If she didn't help Alison, was that lady going to get yelled at in front of all these people?
The lady's face changed color instantly.
Just then...
"Mum!"
A horrified voice came from not too far away.
Ivy turned to look and saw Alison running towards them, sweating profusely. Ivy frowned immediately.
