Chapter 687
“Ms. Moore, both of us didn’t want to cause you too much trouble. We’ll have a few bites only, so don’t buy too much.”
Upon seeing Queenie’s kind smile, Henry’s eyes lit up instantly.
“This beautiful lady-”
Instantly, Jared let out a cough, snapping Henry out of his trance. Only then did Henry notice Queenie was standing beside Donovan.
Thus, he quickly changed his stance. “Could it be that this beautiful lady here is Mr. Baxter’s wife?”
Queenie just smiled and let Donovan explain it instead. Yet, to her surprise, he brushed it off, saying, “The ingredients are enough already. You don’t have to buy more. Let’s go.”
Arielle didn’t want to trouble herself for Donovan. Thus, she dropped putting on an act and spoke to Jared. “Let’s go then.”
At the checkout, Donovan walked ahead and took out his card. “Since you all are still students, let me pay instead.”
“You don’t have to, Mr. Baxter.” Arielle instantly stopped him
However, Donovan looked at her and said, “Your student loan will only be credited to your account half a
month later. I want to help you pay first. If you insist on paying back, you can do it after you graduate.”
Upon hearing that, Queenie smirked coldly inside.
How hilarious am I to think of a woman who relies on a student loan as a threat? But at second thought, something seems amiss. If she has to pay her fees with a student loan, how can she afford to purchase ten utterly expensive robotic pacemakers at once? Something is off!
However, Queenie couldn’t put her finger on what it was currently.
It’s too absurd if she’s a hidden chief like those shown on the television.
Right then, Jared pulled the card in Donovan’s hand back and said, “Mr. Baxter, we really don’t need it. This hypermarket belongs to my family, so we can leave without paying.”
“It’s surprising that her friend is so wealthy when she has to apply for a student loan herself. Mr. Jupiter? I guess he’s from the Jupiters, one of the four most prominent families in Jadeborough. Is he pursuing Ms. Moore?”
