Chapter 1499

Joanne shook her head and declined when Edwin suggested taking her shopping for clothes and shoes.

"I have enough clothes and shoes to wear. There is no need to buy more.”

Edwin stifled the urge to confide in her and, ignoring her protests, yanked her into the car. "Drive to the central mall," he instructed the driver. "I need to buy some clothes for my wife."

Joanne bristled at Edwin's blatant disregard for her opinion.

Her eyes blazing with resentment, she glared at him.

Edwin's gaze swept over her plain jacket and dark jeans. Her clothes were too common. Pursing his lips in disapproval, he said, "Your clothes are shabby and lack style."

Joanne clenched her fists, retorting, "I didn't force you to look at me."

Edwin's voice rang out in the car. "You're my wife now. If you lose face, so do I."

Joanne bit back a retort.

"This is called frugality, and not everyone shares the values of the wealthy as you do."

"Most of the clothes in your closet are worn once or twice before being discarded. How is that any different from wastefulness?

"I'm fine the way I am. Don't hold me to the standards of a high-class celebrity. I can't do it. If it bothers you, you can just kick me out. Then everyone is happy."

Edwin's deep eyes bored into her, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper until he finally fell silent.

The atmosphere in the car grew tense as the driver sped towards their destination.

In no time at all, they arrived at the central mail's parking area.

Edwin ushered Joanne out of the car and into the hands of a clerk who selected a pile of clothes in her size as if she were a dress-up doll. It was like deja vu for Joanne. Four years ago, when she first entered the Atherton family, she had been surrounded by fancy clothes and food, luxurious cars, and villas. She had admired them for their rich lives.

But things had changed. Now she felt that blandness was the real deal.

Glory and wealth were nothing but clouds of smoke.
