Chapter: 222
“Yeah. Bring Dustin along to check it out. I still have some stuff to do.” Natasha replied.
“Alright…”
Ruth pouted. Although she was a little disappointed, she agreed to her sister’s request.
Her sister had a lot of stuff to do. She knew that she had to help her out. After setting their destination, Ruth drove Dustin to the market. A Mercedes–Benz parked in front of a shop named Emporium. Dahlia and the others stepped out of the car which stopped abruptly. Other than Florence and James, there was also a pretty, well–dressed lady beside them. This woman was Florence’s niece, Julie Amberson.
“Julie, didn’t you say you wanted to get a present? Why are we at a place like this?” Florence was confused.
“Aunt Florence, I just got the news that this shop has a very rare ingredient called the Luminianth Root!” Julie whispered.
“Luminianth Root? What’s it for?” The name piqued Florence’s curiosity.
“It’s great as a gift, of course! Tomorrow is the Hummers‘ birthday party. I’m planning to gift this to Miss Hummer!”
“Why are you gifting this instead of gems or jewelry like everyone else?”
“Hehe…You wouldn’t know, would you? Miss Hummer is a noble lady. She doesn’t need gems or jewelry. If you truly want to impress her, you should give her a one–of–a–kind gift. Luminlanth Root has the ability to retain one’s beauty. No woman could ever resist it. I believe that Miss Hummer would like it!” Julie uttered confidently.
“You’re not wrong, but this Luminianth Root costs a fortune, right?” Florence asked.
“Of course! This is an extremely rare item. You won’t be able to buy it without three to five million dollars.” Julie nodded.
“What! It’s that expensive?”
Florence was shocked.
“Julie, do you even have that much money?”
“Of course, I don’t. But you do! So, lend me a few million dollars, I’ll return it to you next time.” Julie requested without hesitation.
Her words stunned Florence.
Dahlia and James also frowned at her words.
This cousin of theirs would always borrow money every time she visits.
Last year she “borrowed” a Mercedez–Benz from them for two days. Until now, she still hadn’t returned the car.
It seemed like they will not be getting it back.
If they gave her a few million dollars now, there would definitely be no return as well.
“Julie, it’s not that I don’t want to lend you the money. A few million dollars is really too much.” After thinking for some time, Florence still refused.
“Aunt Florence, your family owns a business! There’s no way you don’t have that kind of money. Or is it that you guys don’t want to lend me the money?” Julie was getting upset.
“No, I really don’t have that much money.” Florence laughed awkwardly.
