Chapter 429
"That's right. I don't have the money. I don't deserve to be in your circle. I've only got 3.5 thousand dollars in my bag, and that's all I could gather after breaking my piggy bank!"
Kelly lifted her head and admitted resolutely.
After what she had just experienced, she ultimately came to terms with reality. She wasn't poor. She was simply not as wealthy as these rich kids.
She knew that her allowance was twice that of most of her classmates, allowing her to enjoy all the food and drinks as she pleased. So why should she live with a face facade every day?
Yelena covered her mouth and giggled.
"Is that why you excused yourself to the restroom? Don't tell me you're trying to offer this guy your service to earn money?"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Yelena cast a meaningful glance at Carlisle, prompting others to look at him and the shirt Kelly was wearing.
"Oh my God, I can't believe we have such a lowlife in our group!"
"How despicable! It's just five hundred dollars for crying out loud! If you don't have the money, I can always spare you some!"
"I must request to change my seat tomorrow. Having her sit in front of me is such a sore sight!"
"I think we should report this to the dean's office. We can't have such a problematic student in our school!"
Noticing Yelena's dislike toward Kelly, the female students added some insults to side with Yelena. They figured that if they could please Yelena, perhaps she would treat them next time.
"Cut it out, ladies. We're all classmates, after all. Is it necessary to take things to that extent? "Ywain interjected, unable to tolerate it further.
The female students immediately fell silent.
In the world of the rich, whoever had the most money naturally had the most say. Therefore, Ywain-who had been driving a BMW 5 series since he was 18 and received a monthly allowance of at least ten thousand dollars-was one of the most influential in their group.
However, Yelena chuckled and added, "You guys probably haven't heard, but Ywain's family business, East Edge Ventures, had its majority shares taken over by other shareholders. His dad isn't the largest shareholder anymore!"
"East Edge Ventures? So he's Harry Bulton's son?" Carlisle thought as he glanced at Ywain. "N-Nonsense!" Ywain roared, his face reddening.
In fact, Ywain was aware of the situation. That was why he had made up an excuse to cover it up when Laura asked him about his family's company expansion. He hadn't expected Yelena to expose it to everyone.
It was normal for people to want to maintain their dignity, especially the rich. Yet, Ywain had always kept a low profile and never acted superior to those from less affluent backgrounds.
Yelena exposing his family's company affairs before others had undoubtedly trampled on his dignity.
"You, of all people, should know whether I'm talking nonsense or not, Ywain."
Yelena sneered.
"That's it! The bill's on me today!
"You poor fellows should just stop pretending to be rich and accept the fact that you're poor! Don't mingle in the circle you don't belong to. That'll only make you stick out like a sore thumb."
Despite Yelena's harsh remark, Carlisle didn't speak up for Kelly. He hoped that this would teach Kelly a lesson and help her to become a more mature person.
Yelena suddenly turned to Carlisle and advised him with a smirk, "A piece of advice, handsome. You'd better get checked out at the hospital. Considering Kelly would sell herself for a mere five hundred bucks, there's no guarantee what kind of disease she carries."
"I did not sell myself!" Kelly bolted up and shouted, her whole body trembling with emotion.
"Then, how do you explain the man's shirt on you and your fake Chanel belt on the floor?" Yelena questioned mockingly.
