Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3286

“What? There's another exit?” Anna's eyes widened. “Is he messing with you? Maybe we should bribe him so that he’ll let us in?”

“Do we even have any money left?” Jean kicked the wall in frustration.

The security guard inside overheard and warned, “Don't kick the wall! If you break it, you'll have to pay for it.”

Annoyed, Jean ran his hand through his hair. His legs were numb from standing too long. He wanted nothing more than to sit down right there.

However, their clothes were rented, and if they got them dirty, they would have trouble returning them. He heaved a sigh and said to Anna, “Let's go home.”

“We're just leaving like this? What about the money?” Anna glanced inside, clearly unwilling to give up.

“We'll have other chances to get the money,” replied Jean.

“Today was the best chance! They'd want to avoid any trouble at the wedding, so they'd give us the money more easily.” Anna pouted, clearly displeased.

That had been their plan. They knew no one would want a scene at the wedding.

If they asked for the money now, they were sure to get it.

“Let's go. Our rental time on these clothes is almost up,” Jean reminded her.

Anna looked at her dress. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

It was such a nice dress, and she rarely had the chance to wear something like this.

Even after they got that money from Percy, she did not splurge on nice clothes. Instead, she chose to put it into a savings account for the interest and to help Jean find a good wife.

However, after she found a suitable person, Marie shamelessly wormed her way in.

On top of that, Jean had blown all the money.

Anna felt like she had not had a single good day for herself. Now that things ended up like this, she was bitter inside.

“Let's go,” urged Jean, worried that they would be charged extra if they were late with returning the clothes.

“Fine.” Anna reluctantly followed him.

After returning the clothes, they both headed home, looking dejected.

As soon as they walked in, Marie excitedly stood up and asked, “So? Did you get the money?”

“Money, money, money! All you ever think about is money!” Anna shot her an angry glare.

Marie was startled but quickly understood. They did not get the money, and Anna was taking it out on her.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears as she looked at Jean, feeling wronged. “Jean, did I say something wrong?”

Jean did not bother responding.

Desperate to figure out what went wrong, Marie asked, “Jean, tell me what happened. Maybe I can help you figure it out? You never know, we might still get the money.”

Still, Jean stayed silent.

Marie clenched her teeth and said, “Are you telling me they'd give up their pride for a little money? How stingy can they be? And Nina, seriously? She’s willing to throw away her pride and ignore her own mom and brother for some cash?

"You know what, we should take this online and post it everywhere! Let the internet take our side. Maybe we’ll even go viral. And if we do, we can make money from that. No more begging Nina for money!"

“An influencer? Are you dreaming?” Anna looked at her with pure sarcasm. “You think you could be an influencer? Don’t make me die laughing!”

“What's wrong with me?” Marie snapped back, feeling defensive. Back in the day, people lined up down the block just to get a chance with her.

“I’ve never seen an uglier influencer,” Anna shot back. Her bad mood fuelled her sharp tongue.

“You!” Marie’s eyes turned red with anger. She wished she could slap Anna across her face, but she held back. After all, she was still living here and could not afford to completely fall out with her.

“Not all influencers are good-looking. Some get popular by playing the victim. Everything I’m saying is for Jean's sake, so why are you coming at me?”

“For Jean’s sake?” Anna’s eyes reddened too. Marie was nothing but bad luck!

Ever since Jean got involved with her, nothing had gone right!

His life had gone downhill. He could not succeed at anything, and they even lost a house.
