“Mom, get dressed quickly. I'm taking you to see someone distinguished!” After railing at her father, Yuliana lit up a cigarette and sat down impatiently to wait.
Winnie was briefly stunned before she hurried off to do as she was told. For her daughter to refer to someone as distinguished, Winnie was certain that person was really important. Hence, she had to make sure she wouldn't embarrass the former.
Throughout the entire episode, Grant was frowning as there was nowhere to vent his frustration.
The reason was that his attempts to pay off his debts had caused Yuliana to lose her rich boyfriend.
In the end, she couldn't even find a job and had to leave the country in search of better prospects.
All these years, Grant rarely interacted with his daughter. At most, he would get to chat a little when the latter was on the phone with Winnie.
A short while later, Winnie emerged from her room looking rather presentable.
Yuliana threw her a quick glance, and upon approving of how Winnie looked, she led her mother downstairs and got into a Mercedes-Benz.
The sight of the luxury car shocked Winnie, who knew it cost seven to eight hundred thousand.
“Yuliana, have you struck it rich?” The moment she entered the car, Winnie couldn't help running her fingers across its opulent interior.
Yuliana pondered a moment before replying, “I met a rich man in Gerton. Although he's a little old, he likes me a lot and is willing to splurge on me.”
“Age isn't important. Wealth is what matters in this era.” The excitement within Winnie was stirred.
