She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Fake Earrings

Nora was sitting alone at Table Five, watching Sean at Table Three. The bar counter and a partition partially blocked her view, but she could still observe their situation.

Nora had ordered a simple Americano coffee but had ignored the menu provided by the server, who was waiting nearby.

Unfortunately, Nora ignored the server, but sipped her coffee with elegance.

She had been wondering why Sean's recent spending was so much, and it turned out there was a gold-digger who had been swindling him for his money.

Nora had seen this girl before. She seemed to be a school belle from the high school section, and her pictures were easy to find on the school forums.

Rumor had it that her family was dirt poor, with a deceased father and an ailing mother. They made their living by dealing in second-hand bags and knockoff luxury items.

She had a sister, who, apparently, had attended Akloit College's high school, but had met an untimely demise five years ago.

What good could come from a girl with such a background? She was only with Sean because she of the Lawrence family's wealth, and his younger brother was easier to deceive, right?

Nora roughly calculated the cost of the food and red wine they had ordered; it was at least fifty thousand dollars. However, her mom had given Sean only twenty thousand in the morning.

Where did he get the remaining thirty thousand?

As she pondered this, two female servers passing by were quietly discussing the situation at Sean's table.

The taller one said, "I envy that guy's girlfriend. Tonight's dinner, the wine, and that special gift, it's worth at least a hundred thousand."

The other server, with a smile, nodded and said, "I just checked the bill, and the two bottles of red wine alone cost almost thirty thousand. The total bill is one hundred and twenty thousand."

"Great! That means our commission for today will be close to a thousand."

The two servers pushed the serving cart away, chatting away, while Nora's heart remained restless.

Nora couldn't believe it. She and Sean barely had a monthly allowance of less than twenty thousand. Sean had just wiped out her pocket money for half a semester in one meal.

Could this money be stolen from his family?

Just a couple of days ago, her mom had suspected that one of the housekeepers had stolen ten thousand in cash from her dressing table drawer. And Sean was there when the accusation was made. He hadn't shown a hint of guilt or concern and readily went along with her mom's blame on the housekeeper.

It was clear that this wasn't his first time doing such a thing. Only someone accustomed to lying could act so nonchalant.

Sean soon got up from the table and walked toward the cash register, leaving Mikaela behind.
