Laura’s Victory Second Chance

Evelyn was shopping g on the first floor at Starlight Plaza, followed by her classmates tvy and Lynn.

Lynn held Evelyn by the arm and complained, “These clothes look fancy yet too expensive. They are priced at 300 dollars. I can’t afford that

“Don’t worry. I’ll ask someone to pay

For

you.” Evelyn lowered her head and started texting

Soon, Laura arrived. Instead of dressing herself in a dowdy way as before, she wore a red velvet A–line dress

with pearls encrusted ΠΗ the neckline.

As she walked gracefully, the soft hem of her dress swayed with her movements. She carried a Hermès H–buckle lizard leather shoulder bag, simple yet elegant, which caught a lot of people’s attention.

The only thing Evelyn felt was pure jealousy.

They suppressed their harsh feelings and thought, Her pretty face doesn’t change the fact that she’s an idiot.

Evelyn immediately came over and said, “You look so pretty, Laura. Your bag must be expensive, isn’t it?”

“No. It’s a cheap one,” said Laura carelessly. She usually dressed modestly and often wore young women’s clothes that were only hundreds of dollars after discounts. Seeing her look, Evelyn almost believed that Laura was carrying a counterfeit

Unexpectedly, Laura added calmly. “It’s just hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The others were speechless, feeling jealous of her.

Evelyn got excited immediately because it meant that Laura had been quite rich recently. It made sense. Despite how much she was ignored by the Sharpe family, she was still their adopted daughter. Since she had just had her birthday, people assumed she must have received a large sum of money as a birthday gift.

Thinking about this, Evelyn became more friendly. “Why haven’t you come to school recently? I’m worried about you.

Tve been studying at home, Laura answered nonchalantly

Evelyn led Laura upstairs. Laura had always been a people pleaser and received several thousand dollars in scholarships each semester for her outstanding academic performance. Although the Sharpe family was not as generous as the other wealthy families, the allowance they gave her was several times what an ordinary family would give their child. Including the money Laura saved herself, she had about 65 thousand dollars to spend each year.

She was very frugal and usually wore clothes worth hundreds of dollars at school. Most of the money she saved was spent on her close friends.

Laura wouldn’t care how much she spent on Evelyn if she was treated as a friend. However, Evelyn was taking her as a fool, and after realizing that she was no longer useful, Evelyn approached Olivia soon. She fawned on her and often made sarcastic comments about Laura.

Evelyn knew that Laura didn’t have much pocket money, so she only picked stuff less than 300 dollars. After she saw what Laura wore today, she took her straight to the luxury goods section

Laura pretended to be unaware of this and went to the top floor with her. Every item of clothing there was over 3 thousand dollars.

Evelyn tried to make small talk. “Olivia said that you abused her at home, Laura. Isn’t that true? I saw her face and it was swollen.”

During the days Laura was absent from school, Olivia started a lot of rumors, but none of them troubled Laura.

Evelyn noticed that Laura seemed a bit different these days, but she didn’t think too much of it and just assumed that she was stressed out from the

SAT.

As soon as they reached the top floor, Evelyn rushed into a brand store she had only seen in magazines before. As for Laura, she lazily walked into the store across from it.

Evelyn tried on several outfits in one go. Even Ivy and Lynn each picked out a beautiful dress.

They said to Evelyn, “Your boy would definitely fall for your if you wore this dress at the prom, Evelyn.”

The saleswoman said, “Your skin looks great. This dress suits you so well like it’s made for you”

Evelyn felt pleased to hear that. She thought that a girl as beautiful as she was should dress like a rich lady.

Thinking this, she picked up several more items. “Pack them up.”

The saleswoman loved generous customers, so she nodded and ran to pack them up.

“I just checked the price tag, Evelyn, and they’re over 25 thousand dollars in total. Are you sure you can afford them?” asked Lynn.

“No, but I’m sure that she can afford them” Evelyn pointed at Laura across the way and the saleswoman following her, carrying several dresses.

She thought, ‘She’s just an adoptive daughter of the Sharpe family. What’s there to be proud of? Maybe her biological parents are homeless

Despite her disdain for Laura, Evelyn came to her with a flattering sinile. “I want to buy some dresses, Laura, but I don’t have enough money. Can I borrow some from you!”

Usually, when Laura heard this, she wouldn’t hesitate at all. She would only ask Evelyn how much she needed even though the latter never paid her

back.

Laura fiddled with her dress. “How much

Evelyn smiled happily. “Over 25 thousand dollars.”

However, without even looking at her. Laura turned to the saleswoman and asked, “How much are these things?”

Only then did the saleswoman realize that she was talking to her, so she said immediately. This one is a new arrival and it’s 10 thousand dollars,” “Good. Pack up all the dresses I picked, Laura said.

The saleswoman was surprised, “Sure. Please wait a minute.”

Seeing that Laura was ignoring her. Evelyn immediately followed her. The sales clerk waiting for Laura to complete the payment followed closely behind as well. The saleswoman who was checking out for her was also waiting for Laura to finish paying,

“That’s 62 thousand dollars, Miss. Credit card or cash?” asked the saleswoman.

“Credit card” Laura took out a black card Evelyn had never seen before. It looked very luxurious

Seeing Laura pay without hesitation, Evelyn thought she was right. Laura was

is as rich as she thought.

She said, “Since you’re finished, can yo

you pay for me, Laura?”

I picked out items worth over 25 thousand dollars, Miss.”

What does it have to do with me?”

Seeing this, the saleswoman who followed Evelyn hurriedly came to Laura. “Your friend Laura put her card away and casually raised her head. “She took those clothes and you should ask her to pay. W

The saleswoman froze. Evelyn was also a little stunned.

you would pay for her.”

The saleswoman continued. “This lady said that y

you. Can you pay for me?

Evelyn affectionately held Laura’s arm and said, “We’re friends, Laura, I’m sure that this amount of money is nothing to y I’ll pay you back when I have enough money in the future”

Laura pulled her arm from her grasp and said indifferently, “Am I your parents? Why would I pay for you?”

Evelyn was embarrassed by the public rejection. “You don’t have to say that, Laura We’re close friends as well as classmates, and I helped you many times. Why are you mocking me just because I want to borrow money from you!”

Lynn agreed. “Don’t be a cold–blooded person, Laura. When you were injured in running by a pin in your shoe during your freshman year, it was Evelyn who carried you to the hospital”

Ivy echoed, “I remember that too. This amount of money is nothing to you, Laura. She’s your best friend. You don’t have to be so mean to you friend”

to your best

“I didn’t expect that you would say this, Laura, Never mind, I don’t need friends like you. After saying that, Evelyn was going to friends. She glanced at Laura before she left, hoping that she would stop her.

However, Laura

the bag from the saleswoman and said indifferently. Just go. Why did you suddenly stop?”
