Love At The Right Price

Chapter 8 Did You Get Yourself a Sugar Daddy

dead when you’re still alive? Oh, right, I forgot that a scourge never dies. But don’t you suffer from nightmares during the night over these years for what you did, Miss Hardy?” With a slight curl of her red lips, she rested her chin in one hand, her eyes ablaze with hatred, while her other hand balled tightly into a fist by her side. Even for a second, she never dared to forget the torture she had suffered in those days.“You…” Lily took a deep breath to refrain from breaking into curses. She wished she could tear Tamara to pieces right then and there, but she didn’t want to lose her manners in public. Having no other choice, she suppressed her anger for the time being while turning to the saleswoman next to them. “What’s going on here?”The saleswoman answered, “Mrs. Hardy, I showed them around the houses, but they seem to think that the houses are… overpriced.” She wasn’t an idiot, so she, of course, could tell that Lily and Tamara were on bad terms. On top of being the future wife of Hardy Group’s owner, Lily was now the person in charge of the Royale Garden housing project.

How could you have the cheek to brag that your residential area is a villa area when the cars going in and out of here don’t even go through proper security checks? Well, this housing area is just like the person who developed it; it’s really as cheap as you are. It seems to me that you guys are just crying up wine and selling vinegar.”She didn’t lower her voice as she spoke, and the sarcasm in her words was evident. As a result, most of the other customers in the sales office turned to look at her.Lily’s face instantly turned livid one moment and pale the next. The others might have no idea about it, but she knew that Tamara’s sarcastic remarks were actually directed at her.
