Chapter 23
Juliana was sitting in a jewelry store.
The sales associate spotted the piles of luxury–brand shopping bags next to her every single one from the most expensive stores in the mall. Clearly,

“Ms. Bennett, this place is from our newest collection. There’s only one in all of Hashbourne Would you like to try it on?”
Indiana waved her hand. “Just wraps it up.”
“Absolutely. And this one ton

He felt like he was about to pass out from sheet rage.
Compensation for what? She was the one causing all the drama
“You dunk someone like you deserves compensation? That card was to get you thinking about our marriage.”

Dance for two years. This is the first time I’ve ever spent a dine of your money. It I’m finally spending it, of course I’m gonna go big”
She wasn’t the selfless kind of woman who had no needs. She was more than entitled to splurge as his fance for over two years. She hadn’t asked for anything, but she wasn’t about to hold back sure he offered

She laughed. “How could you say that? Am I that kind of person? I’ve been holding back from usury for so long that I lost control.”
