No one cared about her paling face. The housekeeper continued, "These funds, do they add up to 4,500? The tempered glass on the Young Madam’s phone screen costs more than that, can’t she see this is a HOER phone?"
It wasn’t just Audrey Hartwell, Wendy Hanson’s expression also changed, as if they’d been slapped hard. Her gaze at Enna Clark shifted, filled with scrutiny, comparison, and intense jealousy.
Her throat felt clamped, unable to produce any sound, blood vessels nearly reversing out of embarrassnt.
It’s normal for Audrey Hartwell not to recognize the phone’s value. After all, the Hartwell Family isn’t wealthy—they simply have a distant relative who started a small company thanks to their family’s sheen. Audrey Hartwell is rely thick-skinned, sweet-talking, always liked hanging around their house. She’s adept at pleasing her mom, cheekily calling herself a cousin. One’s surna is Hanson, the other’s is Hartwell—they couldn’t possibly be direct cousins.
Audrey Hartwell is just the daughter of a small upstart, lacking worldly experience. But she’s the direct bloodline of the Hanson Family, the Hanson family’s daughter. Not recognizing the phone brand is a completely different concept from Audrey’s ignorance.
"The materials for this phone were personally selected by Lord, and the software was developed by the Young Master. Moreover, HOER doesn’t manufacture phones anymore. This phone also has collectible value, worth at least 450 thousand."
thousand!
Audrey Hartwell’s legs froze, her face turning even paler, nearly transparent.
She’s well aware of her family’s capabilities. If her parents knew she broke a phone worth 450 thousand, they’d surely beat her to death.
Audrey Hartwell lost all arrogance, overwheld by fear. She instinctively looked at Wendy Hanson beside her, clutching Wendy’s sleeve, her hands were pale from tension and fear, "C... Cousin, you’ve got to help ... I didn’t break her phone on purpose, she took your parking spot first, so I..."
Wendy Hanson hadn’t expected she’d dare drag her into the ss at this point, embarrassing them both, making her lips tremble with rage, wishing she could push her away and slap her twice.
"Let go."
"... Cousin, you won’t abandon , will you? It’s for you... for your sake I..." Audrey is just a young girl, now she’s caused big trouble, terrified to death, lacking awareness, clutching Wendy’s sleeve with such force she deford her clothing.
Wendy Hanson had never been so embarrassed before. Glared at Audrey several tis urging her to let go, but she wouldn’t listen, trembling with anger, "Audrey, calm down, first let go."
She was furious with Audrey, determined that no matter what her mom said, she wouldn’t take Audrey to any events anymore.
Despite her anger, she knew now wasn’t the ti to blow up. Forced herself to calm, taking a deep breath, she had to soothe the frightened girl, "Audrey, if you don’t let go, how can I help you resolve this? Listen, let go first."
God knows how much she wanted to slap Audrey now, unable to accomplish anything, just causing trouble, and even pulling her into embarrassnt in front of the Lawrence Family’s housekeeper.
"Cousin..." Audrey was petrified, hearing her soothing voice like soone in the desert finding water, her eyes reddened.
