Chapter 32 Walking Upon air. You are Great
Her words stunned everyone.
What the hell???
Debbie, Marcia, and Matthew Moore looked up at Sean. There were expressions of disbelief on the surprised faces. Sean paid for that? He bought them for Cecilia?
How was that possible?
According to Chloe, the average price of these clothes was close to 10, 000, and there are dozens of them in one sack, worth hundreds of thousands. And there were two sacks. The clothes in there could be worth at least half a million.
Sean, a rapist who just got out of prison, spent five years in prison, and now he didn’t even have a real job. Where did he get the money?
Even if he had some savings, could he be so generous as to spend it on Cecilia?
For a moment, they froze there, confused, feeling as if they were running out of ideas.
“Cecilia, what Chloe said…”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Marcia asked moments later, swallowing quietly, “Is she telling the truth?”
“Yes.”
Cecilia nodded. Although she did not like publicity, she did not like to be misunderstood by others. Debbie’s outrageous behavior just now disgusted her.
Besides, she was a little scared.
If, as Debbie thought, Sean didn’t buy the clothes, but Hudson, how would she and her family get off the stage today?
They were gonna be so humiliated by Debbie!
He who insulted others would be insulted by others.
“In the afternoon at Ricky Mall, Sean spent more than 900 thousand to buy more than 100 pieces of clothes in the whole clothing store. Chloe and I picked out dozens of pieces each, including mine, dad’s, mom’s, and Phyllis’s. There were a few dozen pieces that didn’t fit, so Sean gave them to the salesman at the store…”
Cecilia gave a brief account of what happened.
She was being honest.
There was no deliberate exaggeration.
“The whole store?”
Marcia and Matthew Moore were stunned. When they usually went to the mall, it was even reluctant for them to buy the clothes which were a little expensive. And Sean, he bought an entire clothing store?
On top of that, Sean was buying them for Cecilia!
How generous was that!
Big spender!
Even Dylan and Isaac, who inherited most of the Moore Group, wouldn’t dare splurge like that.
The way they looked at Sean, it changed.
It got complicated.
There were surprises, doubts, and deep concerns.
Because they didn’t understand. Sean and Cecilia just met for the first time this morning. Although they were engaged, they had no emotional foundation at all. How could Sean be so nice to Cecilia?
Why he was so good to Cecilia?
When things went wrong, there must be a demon!
They couldn’t figure it out, so they felt uneasy. They subconsciously assumed that Sean was up to something that they didn’t know about!
“Uncle, you’re great!”
By contrast, Phyllis, who was in Sean’s arms, was the youngest, but she was the most relaxed. She wasn’t even sure what it meant to buy an entire clothing store or what 900, 000 dollars meant. But, seeing the reaction of a few people around her, she just thought this new uncle was great. He always showed up at the right moment to help her beat the bad guys.
“900 thousand…”
Debbie’s face turned green. The number came like a bolt of lightning and sent a buzz through her head. Hudson, of whom she was so proud, drove a black Mercedes for around $500, 000.
Sean, on the other hand, spent as much as two Mercedes on Cecilia’s clothes.
She looked at Sean, and at Phyllis in Sean’s arms.
Bravo!
She had to admit that Sean was great!
But, please don’t be so great, okay? You were so good that you were making me embarrassed. Did ever you think about how I felt? Don’t be so selfish!
“Mom, let’s go home.”
Chloe was embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide. She tugged at Debbie’s arm and wanted to leave.
Debbie, however, was not reconciled!
“Go home?”
Debbie gave Chloe a dirty look. She evidently reproached Chloe for her embarrassment by not having made it clear beforehand. She asked, “Where’s Hudson? Why didn’t he come back with you?”
In her opinion, the only person who could save her from being embarrassed was Hudson Scott.
“He had something to do and left early.” Said Chloe.
“Left?”
Debbie was annoyed, but suddenly regained her confidence as her eyes settled on the new Mulsanne next to her, thinking, “It doesn’t matter if he left, just leave the car!”
Over $900, 000 in clothes?
Well!
That was nothing compared to Mulsanne, which was worth over $6 million.
So…
“Why didn’t you tell me about the clothes you paid for? Mystifying! Isn’t it just some clothes? Give it to Chloe when you’re done? What do you think Chloe is, a beggar?”
Debbie kicked the sack in Sean’s hand and snorted with a look of disgust, “Hudson has a lot of money. We don’t want to take advantage of you!”
“Take it all!”
She ran back, picked up the sack and dropped it at Sean’s feet.
Sean frowned slightly.
He got it. Debbie was a typical snob to her core. She was a bully, a sharp-tongued woman, and an extremely vain one, who valued vanity above all else.
“Mom, what are you doing?”
Chloe got angry.
“Let’s go back home.”
Instead, Debbie acted like she didn’t care about money. She had a good show of it, letting go of the pent-up anger in her chest. She was relieved. With a wave of her hand, she got back in front of Mulsanne, pulled open the passenger door and got inside.
When she got into the car, she stuck her head out and said triumphantly, “See? Mulsanne! More than six million! My son-in-law bought a new car! He gave it to Chloe!”
“What’s the meaning of a few rags? The real rich men gave cars!”
The more she talked, the happier she became.
Luxury cars were just different. She sat in it as if sitting on the throne, and she he suddenly became a queen, full of confidence and spirit. When she looked at Sean and Cecilia’s family, it was like looking down on a bunch of ants.
That feeling of being on cloud nine, it was so good!
“Mom! You’re…”
Watching her strut, Chloe was transfixed and her face turned pale. Suddenly she wanted to cry, or to die. She was really getting shamed by Debbie!
“Sorry.”
Sean rolls his eyes, laughed, and shook his head, “I’m sorry, but this car, like these clothes, was not bought by Hudson Scott for Chloe, but by me for my wife Cecilia.”
“So please get off the car and don’t stain the seats.”
