Chapter 149
Olivia shot back, I’m not some good girl I’m not okay with this, Winifred,
you treat me like that
She was completely out of options–she had no idea what else to do, Winifred was her last and only hope.
“One mullion! I can pay in installments–three hundred thousand upfront, as long as you help me.” Olivia pleaded desperately.
Olivia’s stubborn persistence sparked Winifred’s curiosity. She spun on her heel, turning to face Olivia, who was standing there with flushed cheeks, tists clenched, and an expression that screamed she was ready to risk everything
“I haven’t had breakfast yet. Come on, treat me to something nice,” Winifred said casually, brushing past Olivia.
It took a moment for Olivia to process what had just happened, but then it hit her–there was hope.
She quickly grabbed her purse and hurried after Winifred “Winifred, does this mean you’ll help me? You’re such a good person! I’ll treat you to anything you want.”
“Hold up, I never agreed to anything. First, I need to see which tier your issue falls into–A, B, or C. For A, the starting price is twenty million; for B. its two million; and for C, Two hundred thousand, Winifred said, her tone casual but firm
Olivia was utterly stunned. That’s so expensive! Is she just messing with me n’t she just a delinquent girl At best, she’s just the boss of this block, Olivia thought.
“Ryan, go grab a bowl of noodles from Frankie up ahead and bring it back. You’re paying Olivia Winifred said, tuming to Ryan
Olivia nodded quickly and followed Ryan. “What A hundred bucks for a bowl of noodles” she blurted out.
Olivia was stunned. In this shabby alley, noodles should be no more than ten bucks. A hundred bucks! This old guy really knows how to rip people
“If you don’t have the money, get lost, Frankie snapped.
Olivia fumed. With a loud slap. Olivia slapped two hundred bucks on the counter. Fine, make me one too. I gotta see for myself if these noodles are really worth a hundred bucks,”
Frankie snorted, grabbed the cash, and casually tossed is into a box. “Watch your mouth, girl. Even your dad has to show me some respect.”
Olivia just thought he was talking nonsense. She couldn’t believe anyone in this shabby place would know her dad.
Olivu followed Ryan to a ridiculously lavish private villa–no, scratch that, it looked more like a royal mansion, or even a palace.
She was so stunned she could barely speak. “This… this… who the heck lives here!”
“It’s Winifred’s place. Let’s go, Ryan said, leading the way.
Olivia trailed behind him, stepping into the grand hall, where she saw Winifred lounging in a chair, idly playing on her phone.
“Windeed, the noodles are ready.” Ryan said.
“Alright, tell the tattoo artist to hold ups. Go let Laura know I’ll be there after I finish my noodles, Winifred replied without looking up.
“Sure.” Ryan nodded.
allowed hard. “Well, can lait down?”
“Whatever Winifred replied, still focused on her phone.
“Thanks,” Olivia said, taking a seat
After all that hark–and–forth in her head, Olivia finall
finally got what it really meant to never look down on someone–you just never know.
“Sri” Windred replied.
