She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Chapter 98: Nora Smith The Little Moneymaker

As soon as she went down, Melissa immediately saw Miranda coming over impatiently.

She had a bit of a haughty look on her face. Even though she still held the matter about Tanya against Melissa, she nevertheless asked stiffly, “Have you gotten the money ready?”

Melissa held the bank card given by Nora and smiled gently, “I only have slightly over $300,000 here. Let’s use that first.”

At once, Miranda pursed her lips disdainfully and said, “Only slightly over $300,000? How much over $300,000 is that?”

The additional money was from Nora’s bank card.

However, Melissa hadn’t gone to the ATM to confirm the balance, so she answered casually, “About $20,000, I suppose.”

Surgeons still earned quite a bit after all. However, Nora was still young, so there was no way she would have made that much. There was probably only about $20,000 in the card at best.

Miranda looked down on her even more after her reply. She said, “So little? Are you kidding me? If it wasn’t because your elder brother was afraid that you’re having a hard time and insisted that we let you earn some money along with us, I couldn’t even be bothered to come here. Yet you’re patronizing us with just $300,000? Are you looking down on us?”

Melissa clenched her fists. “Miranda, you’re aware of the situation my family is in. We’re depending on the Carefree Pill to revive the business, so all our working capital has gone into the production costs. All we have is this $300,000 here.”

Miranda scoffed and said, “If I were you, I would mortgage the house and take out a $3,000,000 loan!”

The villa was built in an excellent location in the city center. Housing prices in New York had skyrocketed in recent years, so it was now worth 15 million dollars.

It was indeed very easy to take out a $3,000,000 loan if they mortgaged the house.

However, Melissa shook her head and said, “I’m only investing along with him to make a bit of pocket money. There’s no need to mortgage the house…”

As soon as she said that, Miranda reprimanded, “If you invest $3,000,000, you can earn at least half of that amount! $300,000? It’s too embarrassing to even bring up a pittance like that! What’s the use even if you earn $150,000? You can’t even buy a slightly better handbag with that! If you want to make money, then mortgage your house. If you don’t, then forget it!”

The slender Melissa stood tall and straight. Upon hearing Miranda’s words, she slowly said, “If that’s the case, then never mind.”

If it weren’t because her elder brother had personally called and said that he wanted to let her earn a bit of pocket money together with him and that the children would need money for a lot of things now that they were all grown up… In particular, Sheril was a girl, yet she didn’t even bear to spend on a pretty handbag… If it weren’t because of these, she would never subject herself to her sister-in-law’s detestable attitude.

But why should she allow Miranda to come here and bully them?
