Chapter 423

I was completely stunned. I almost thought I had misheard and just stared at Jocelyn in disbelief. I blurted out, "What did you say?" Her face showed a trace of the arrogance I was familiar with. She sneered. "Fine, if you're not going to give any, forget it." With that, she turned and walked away. I hesitated for a couple of seconds before calling after her. "How much do you need?" She hesitated for a long time before mumbling, "One million?" "What?" I was stunned again. She became angry and flustered. "Don't act like you can't afford it! You buy a bag for over a million, don't you? And, Ariana, stop insulting me. If you're not going to give me money, just say so. Rich people are so stingy! I hate people like you." My mind was a mess, overwhelmed by how demanding she was. I couldn't think straight, not knowing how to handle this situation right away. But something told me I couldn't just let her go. She was the type of woman who wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted.
