“We’ve got about a hundred of them working on gowns for you, so your outfit should be ready no doubt.” He turned to me. “You can choose whichever one you like.”
I frowned as my eyes went over all the dresses that had been made. I didn’t like that they were putting so much resources into this.
“As much as I appreciate this,” I started carefully. “I don’t think this is what I want.”
“Why?” Greyven frowned.
“We could have used the labour force and other resources to create more wealth for the family. I’m fine with just going out to shop for what I need.”
Halven looked uncertain. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.” I answered, rising up from my seat.
“You’re definitely right about it.” Greyven agreed with me, a small smile on his face.
“Sis,” Olavir started. “You’re working yourself too hard. You need to take it easy.”
“A woman can never feel she’s working too hard when it comes to shopping.”
Greyven nodded, taking in all what I’d said. “Alright then. I’ll come with you.”
“Already ahead of you, bro.” Olavir got up from his seat, making his way to me.
“I’m coming to.” Halven piped in.
Just as Merhold was about to talk as well, I quickly piped in. “I think there’s enough of us.”
Olavir snickered. “It’s a good thing the four haven’t come back yet, otherwise the competition would really be too fierce.”
Eventually I was able to get away from the house and got to do the shopping on my own. The place was stacked with all the materials I would need for my gown.
As soon as my mood landed on a particular someone, I frowned. Tina. She wasn’t alone wither. Cyrene was by her side, smirking like a sly cat.
I ignored her and started picking up my items. Her presence was like a constant shadow. After a while, I noticed something laughable.
She was picking any item I took. I tested it once again by taking a blue silk material. She looked around for one and hurriedly took it.
“You’re nothing but a showpiece.” I raised my eyes as she started to talk.
“You’re lucky enough to be picked up by the richest family in the pack. That’s why you have access to blowing off all that money.” Her voice dropped even lower. “That’s why you’re so broke.”
I sucked in a deep breath and tried to stay calm. She would not be getting the best of me. I turned away from her and continued with my shopping.
By the time I was done, I had taken almost everything in the luxury shop. Tina had spared nothing and was doing the same as well.
I made my way to the checkout and they calculated my total amount. Tina’s face twisted into a sneer when she realized I had taken too many things which had costed an exorbitant amount.

I don’t have enough money for that She mumbled sub consciously. She turned to me, an angry expression on her face.
“You made me buy all this on purpose” she yelled in tage
“Oh really?” I scoffed. You’re a real orphan, aren’t you? Turns out your’re just a halfway orphan like me
She looked around at the people who were watching everything unfold. Her her card, thrusting it in the face of the salesman.

When he tried to debit her card, his brows furrowed. Tina looked surprised when he handed her the card back.
“Insufficient funds.” He replied blandly. “And you’re yet to pay off your remaining debt.*
Her cheeks reddened even more. She looked embarrassed.
“No way,” she argued. “That’s simply not possible.”
The salesman didn’t look moved at all. Cyrene who had been silent all this while tried to persuade Tina.
