Davina grinned and pulled a card from her purse. She handed it to the salesgirl and said, Tll take it.

The moment the salesgirl caught sight of the gleaming card, her eyes lit up. Her tone became instantly warmerpolite to the point of reverence. Of course, I’ll take care of it right away.

Stella’s face darkened immediately. She refused to believe Davina had money. Davina, quit pretending. There’s no way you actually have money.

Even the twins looked puzzled as they glanced at the card.

Where did you get that kind of money?Cassia asked, his tone icy with suspicion.

Ashen’s voice rose, clearly furious. Are you crazy? Why do you have to fight Stella over everything? Can’t you see she saw that bag first?

Davina gave a casual laugh. What I choose to buy is none of your business. Who are you to me? Just because you’re broke doesn’t mean I can’t spend my own money.

The twins were momentarily stunnedspeechless.

If she really was a Summers, wellthey’d never once acknowledged her as

s their sister.

The salesgirl didn’t care about the drama. Her job was simple. Whoever paid first got the goods.

Ms. Summer,” she said, turning to Stella with a polite smile, you were the first to pick this out. If you’d like to purchase it now, it’s yours. But if not, I’ll sell it to this young lady.

That remark hit Stella like a slap.

Imanheiress! Is thiswomanimplying I couldn’taffordit?

Why would you think I’m not buying it?Stella snapped. We all know who’s pretending here

She looked at her brothers with wide, pleading eyesan innocent expression designed to tug at their hearts. With her doll- like features, it was a look that could melt anyone.

Cassia! Ashen! Please

Davina just smiled coldly.

She knew they didn’t have the money for it.

The bag wasn’t cheap. The twins were still in school, surviving off allowances.

And with Stella constantly begging them to buy her things, they never had much left.

Their expressions shiftedclearly torn.

Cassia sighed and advised, Stella, maybe you can get it next time.

Ashen added, Yeah, my allowance is all gone. I’ll scrape something together next month, okay?

Stella’s expression soured even further.

Davina turned to the salesgirl, who caught on quickly and swiped the card without hesitation.

She then pointed to a few more items casually. That one too. And that one. I’ll get them all.”

Right away, miss the salesgirl beamed.

Stella, who had been so sure of herself just moments ago, looked like someone had slapped her across the face several times.

Davina, where are you getting this money? Cassia asked again, his tone low and accusing. You didn’t do anything shady, did

you

Ashen looked stunned. Wait, you seriously have money? From where?

Just then, the transaction went through, and the salesgirl came back with all the bags neatly packed.

Right on cue, Percy walked into the e store. Ms. Davina, is everything all set?

Davina smiled and said, Yep. Though I did run into a few mutts. Real barky ones.”

Ashen’s face flushed with anger. He took a step forward, ready to get physical. What did haven’t you? Don’t forgetI’m your brother!
