Chapter 1144
She had lost enough of her dignity with the bracelet she wore being discovered fake. To have her unable to write a check now would only make it worse.
However, with how much she had spent recently, she already reached the limit with the checks and could not pay for the accessories!
Seeing everyone waiting for her to write a check, Naya grew more embarrassed and pulled out her name card before throwing it at the clerk. “Come look for me here tomorrow. I didn’t bring my checkbook with me today!”
Flushed, she picked up her purse and left. Naya glared at Ava and Madeline just as she walked past them. She warned the former, “Just you wait!”
With Naya gone, Madeline and Ava immediately felt more relaxed.
Naya was two completely different people in front of the Graham family and moments ago.
“You’ve got to hold tight to Dan, Ava. This Naya seems difficult to deal with.” Madeline reminded kindly, for she could tell from Naya’s actions. “That bracelet too. She knew it was fake all along.”
“I could tell.” Ava rifled through her memories. “The first time I saw her, the outfit she wore and the brooch she got Dan’s mom were also fakes. But Dan’s mom had no idea and thanked Naya for being kind and thoughtful.”
Ava smiled and sighed. “I just don’t understand what people like her are thinking. They’re the ones with the fakes, yet they still accuse others of doing the same. It’s not like she has no money to buy genuine products either. She’s from a rich family.”
Madeline did not understand either.
The world was filled with weird people. Meredith and Lana were both rare weirdos.
Yet they shared a similarity—their lack of a baseline. These two were the kind who would do anything to get what they wanted.
Madeline did not end up choosing a gift for Ryan in the end, although Ava did manage to find a set of couple loungewear for her and Daniel.
Staring at the lovey-dovey expression Ava was wearing, Madeline also felt the urge to buy couple clothes but stopped herself when she realized that she had already outgrown the age of being hopelessly in love.
Moreover, she could not seem to imagine how it would look to have an aloof man like Jeremy wearing such clothes with her.
