Chapter 146
Maurice stood up immediately too.
“Oh, you two. Please sit back down!” Felicia immediately stopped the two of them. “What do you mean you didn’t buy anything? Didn’t you buy a car for me and Megan? A luxury car worth two hundred and sixty dollars! Even Stanley the general manager doesn’t drive such an expensive car! Isn’t this good enough.”
Judith and Maurice could only smile and sit back down. ‘She’s right, this should be considered a gift, but we just happened to have forgotten all about it earlier!”
They felt relieved that they did not come empty-handed at least.
Megan then stood up proudly and said loudly, “Hahahah! Stanley will probably be so jealous if he sees me driving such a luxurious car!” After ending her sentence, she discovered that Felicia was winking at her non-stop, so she frowned and asked, “What’s the matter, Mom? Did you get sand in your eyes?”
However, she soon discovered that everyone had an uneasy look on their faces. When she turned around, she was startled to see that Stanley, George, Catherine, and Maryam had all just come in. Stanley, in particular, had a sour expression as he stood behind her.
“Don’t you think you’re being a little disrespectful to your cousin? It’s not about whether I can’t afford to drive such a good car. I just don’t think it’s necessary to waste all that money on such needless extravagance. Grandma’s principle has always been to increase income and reduce expenditure. I am merely sticking to that.” Stanley sneered coldly, and said again, “It’s bad enough. that you’re being wasteful, and it’s even worse when you look down on your family members.”
