Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 801

She had never seen anyone spend money so recklessly.

Only the filthy rich threw cash around like that.

"Charles, didn't you say she was broke? How is she..."

Before Lorna Avery could finish her sentence, Elena glanced at them. "Weren't you two just saying you wanted this bag? Theresa, give it to them."

Theresa Ellington smiled and held the bag out.

"Here. Buy it. Who's paying? Lorna, are you picking up the tab, or is Charles?" Theresa asked bluntly.

Lorna's expression soured.

Desperate to save face, Charles quickly stepped up. "I'll pay, of course. I'm the man here. Why wouldn't I foot the bill?"

With that, he handed a card to the sales associate. "Ring it up. Wrap the bag."

The associate looked at the card, thoroughly unimpressed.

One bag was nothing compared to the thirty Theresa had just purchased.

"Charles, you're so good to me," Lorna said, visibly moved.

Charles shot Theresa a provocative look. "Lorna, we need to be rational when we shop. We definitely don't want to look like tasteless new money."

"You're so right."

Just then, the associate returned with his card. "I apologize, sir, but your card was declined. Insufficient funds."

Lorna and Charles's smiles instantly froze.

"How can it be insufficient? There's at least a hundred thousand on there..."

"Sir, the handbag you selected is half a million dollars."

"What." Charles froze.

He had bought jewelry for Lorna before to make her happy, ranging from a few thousand to ten thousand dollars.

He never imagined buying her a half-million-dollar bag.

His annual income was only around sixty thousand dollars.

He had already spent a lot on Lorna lately, and he had even asked his family to help scrape together the funds on this current card.

It took maxing out both cards to finally cover the cost.

Lorna clutched the bag, absolutely thrilled.

She had never expected anyone to buy her something so expensive.

Watching her sheer excitement, a flicker of doubt crossed Charles's mind.

Theresa had just bought thirty bags in one breath, yet she hadn't shown an ounce of this kind of thrill. She had looked like it was an everyday occurrence.

Why would Lorna, a supposed billionaire heiress, be so ecstatic over a single bag? She acted like she had never seen luxury before.

Was it because he was the one who bought it for her?

That had to be it.

"Charles, thank you so much for today." Overjoyed, Lorna leaned in and kissed him.

Being kissed by a wealthy heiress made Charles's heart swell with pride.

Even though dropping half a million dollars hurt like hell, winning Lorna's heart made it entirely worth it.
