Chapter 384

$40,000! Everyone secretly swallowed, their expressions changing. They tried to appear calm, but inside they were all marveling, '$40,000! It's so expensive!'

Fanny licked her lips. Her face stiffened for a second, then she forced herself to appear indifferent. She looked in the mirror and said, "This bag is too bright, it won't go with many things."

"This bright orange color is suitable for every season, especially with a suit," the salesman said.

"The bag is a bit too small, can't fit much."

The salesman smiled. "No one would use a limited edition Hermès to carry heavy things."

A hint of embarrassment crossed Fanny's face.

"This bag suits you very well. If the price isn't right, then forget it, after all, this is a limited edition bag, there are many regular versions outside that only cost a few thousand dollars." The salesman started to take the bag back.

Cassandra immediately stared. "Who do you think you're talking to? Ms. Taylor is a big CEO. It's just $40,000. It's a small amount for her, of course she can afford it?"

"Yeah, Ms. Taylor is very wealthy."

"What kind of attitude is that?"

"Ms. Taylor, if you like it, just buy it."

Fanny's face stiffened even more, cursing Cassandra thoroughly in her mind. Why was she speaking up at this moment? What a fool!

If Cassandra hadn't spoken, she would have just been embarrassed for a moment, but now, she couldn't save herself.

"Ms. Taylor, that bag really suits you. And it's limited edition, if you don't buy it soon, someone else will."

"Yes, Ms. Taylor. Show them who you are, don't let them look down on you."

Fanny's back was covered in cold sweat. She wanted them to shut up, but they became more enthusiastic as they spoke.

Fanny hesitated. "Of course I can afford it, I just think this color..."

"It's okay if you don't want to buy it, you don't need a reason," the salesman said, making Fanny feel even more embarrassed. Fanny saw Layla smirking at her in the mirror, and with a fierce determination, she impulsively blurted, "I'll take this bag."

"Have you thought it through? It's $40,000."

"$40,000 is nothing. Ms. Taylor is wealthy." Cassandra lifted her chin proudly, and the others followed suit with smug expressions.

In this situation, Fanny's dignity reflected on them. If Fanny backed down, it would be embarrassing for them, and they would have to endure being ridiculed.

The salesman flashed a smile. "Ms. Taylor, this way please."

Fanny had the impulse to run away. She wished she could slap herself. Why was she spending $40,000 to show off? Was she out of her mind? $40,000 could cover a year and a half of mortgage payments.

She was just getting a limited edition bag was for looks. It couldn't even carry much and was beyond Fanny's budget. She wasn't just enduring it, she was forcing herself to do it.

The most annoying part was, even after spending $40,000 on the bag, the salesman still didn't think she was wealthy, and Layla's eyes seemed to be mocking her, as if she was watching a fool.

She was making a joke of herself with $40,000.

Fanny was furious.

She swiped several credit cards to barely make up the $40,000, her face turning red. As she thought that she couldn't even cover the $40,000 by selling a kidney, her face turned red again.

Fanny was extremely angry and almost had a heart attack on the spot.

"Ms. Taylor, here's your bag." The salesman handed it over.

Fanny took it with a stern face, wanting to throw it on the ground to vent her frustration.

She thought, 'Layla, you dare to laugh at me? I won't let you off.'

Fanny walked over with a strange smile on her face. "Since we're here, why don't you buy one?"

"I'm not interested in bags."

"You're so hypocritical, all woman are interested in bags, you just can't afford it, right?" Cassandra mocked.

"She can afford a $500,000 presidential suite for one night, she must be able to afford a bag."

"Layla's sugar daddy is very wealthy."

"If so, why didn't he give you a decent bag? Your bag is probably just a cheap knockoff worth a few dollars online."

"So what? I like it." Layla wouldn't be provoked by their boring teasing, unlike Fanny, who changed herself because of others' opinions.

"Women like expensive bags, no one likes cheap bags. If you can really afford a $500,000 presidential suite, you can afford the limited edition bag here."

"Just because I can afford it doesn't mean I want to buy it."

"If you can't afford it, just admit it. Don't be stubborn. But it's true, women who rely on sugar daddies are like beggars. They only rely on their charity. When the sugar daddy is in a good mood, she gets something, when he's not, she gets nothing. How sad. You're not like Ms. Taylor, who buys bags with her own money, that's real skill."

Although Cassandra was trying to provoke Layla, her words stung Fanny. She was still very upset as she thought about that $40,000.

Layla smiled. "I don't think Ms. Taylor is that happy to buy a bag with her own money."

"Nonsense, Ms. Taylor bought a $40,000 bag, of course she's happy. You can't get what you want, so you're picking on someone else. If you can afford the cheapest bag here, I'll call you mom."

Cassandra was a clown. Layla looked at her like she was brainless. "I'm so upset that I have a daughter like you."

Cassandra was a product of failed education.

"You just can't afford it!"

"Yes, you can't."

"If you can't afford it, stop pretending you can."

"It seems your sugar daddy isn't that great to you."

Just as everyone was taking turns to mock Layla...

"Miss. Adkins, hello, I'm the manager of Hermès." An exceptionally elegant man handed her a gift bag. "This is for you, from Mr. Holland."

"Mr. Holland?"

"Mr. Holland?" Everyone was surprised.

Layla wondered how Samuel knew they were here.

Amidst everyone's stunned gazes, Layla took out the Hermès from the gift bag.

"It's a Himalaya Niloticus Birkin handbag!" someone said in a high-pitched scream.

"Oh my, am I seeing that right? Is that really a Himalaya Niloticus Birkin?"

"The Himalaya Niloticus Birkin is made of matte white crocodile leather, with 18-carat white gold and diamonds. Priced around $300,000, it has set world records as the rarest Hermès, and is only produced once or twice a year."

"They say that you need to order a Himalaya Niloticus Birkin six years in advance, and Layla just got it..."

Everyone screamed and went crazy.

Even Layla, who had never been interested in bags, was shocked by this white diamond Hermès.

It was no longer just a bag, but a stunning piece of art!

Samuel had spent so much money on her in just two days! Was he trying to knock her out with money?
