Chapter 475 Lying
Lamont asked straightforwardly, “How much did you spend? I will transfer it to you.”
“There’s no need! You work so hard, how can I spend your money? I have my own.” Patricia tried her best to show herunderstanding.
However, Lamont said lovingly, “I promised to cover your expenses. How much? It’s alright, tell me.”
Patricia deliberately smiled mischievously. “I won’t tell you.”
“You’re still a student, but I can already make money. Last night, I should have taken you to buy it, but something came up at the last minute…” Lamont felt like he had stood his sister up last night. He felt very apologetic. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to ask Amily.”
“Don’t look for her.”
Patricia hurriedly tightened her grip on Lamont’s arm.
“Lamont, you really don’t have to pay for it. I’m not here to ask you for compensation. I just want to tell you that I’ve bought all the gifts for Christmas this year. Your gift… you’ll definitely be very happy when you receive it! But I can’t tell you now. I’m here today to tell you that you don’t have to prepare a Christmas gift for me.”
“Why?” Lamont asked in confusion.
“Because you’ve bought me a lot of things over the years. Buy more for Paige from now on!”
When Lamont saw the innocent look in her eyes, his gaze immediately softened. “That won’t do. I can’t lose either of
you. You’re both my younger sisters.”
At this moment, Amily just happened to pass by the garden. Lamont called out to her. “Amily, come here.”
Amily pretended to be confused.
“How much did you spend shopping with Patricia last night?”
Patricia hurriedly signaled Amily not to say anything with her eyes.
In Lamont’s eyes, his sister was trying to help him save money. He was instantly even more touched.
“Ms. Patricia, you’ve bought so many things for Mr. and Mrs. Lusk, your brothers, and Ms. Paige. I don’t think there’s much money left on the card… Since Lamont has asked, I’ll say it out loud.” Amily’s tone was cautious as if she was asking for Patricia’s opinion.
Patricia was so anxious that she hinted again with her eyes that Amily should not say to let Lamont spend any money!
Lamont asked again, “It’s okay. Just tell me how much you’ve bought.”
“Ms. Patricia, don’t blame me. Since Lamont asked… It’s 162 billion dollars.” Amily braced herself to say.
“Amily!” Patricia immediately let go of Lamont’s hand and said anxiously, “Why did you say that? Didn’t you promise me to keep it a secret last night?”
Amily showed her care as she said, “Mr. Lamont won’t blame you. You didn’t spend much money recklessly. There were so many things last night, and they were almost all bought for Mr. and Mrs. Lusk, several brothers, and Ms. Paige. You didn’t buy much yourself.”
In fact, Amily lied. What Patricia bought for herself accounted for 90%…
“But you can’t say it out loud. Do you know that Lamont is going to compensate me…” Patricia was still anxious.
When Amily heard this, she asked, “Ah? There’s such a thing…”
Lamont took out his phone, logged into his mobile phone bank account, and transferred 188 billion to Patricia.
“You’re so considerate. Buy so many things for your family. Buy the rest for yourself,” Lamont said gently.
