Chapter 198: Blacklisted
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was true that Yvette Larson’s family didn’t know anything about that, but Finn Taylor was different.
He knew full well who Chloe Yeats was—she was an orphan with no relatives.
Karine James’s lie was downright ridiculous, but it was so trivial that Finn Taylor couldn’t even be bothered to expose her lies.
The group walked into the mall. Since Karine James was familiar with the place, she led her cousin to a boutique selling bags. “Yvette, look at this bag. What do you think of it? It’s meant for sisters. Let’s each get one.”
Yvette Larson glanced at the price—1,000 dollars.
She quickly shook her head..
Yvette Larson didn’t like the bag’s design, much less carrying one that matched her cousin’s. It would be a waste of money to buy a bag like this. “No, I don’t like it.”
Karine James wanted to sneer when she heard that excuse. ‘Do you really not like it, pr can you not afford it? Which woman doesn’t like branded bags?’
“Yvette, you shouldn’t do that. When women buy bags, we shouldn’t look at whether we like the bag. We should only look at the prices. Although it isn’t a top-range one, it’s still decent. Every woman must have one like this.”
With that, she turned to Nathan Yeats. “Don’t you think so, Nathan?”
Nathan Yeats nodded and smiled. “That’s right; it’s just 1,000 dollars. You can buy it if you like it.”
His words pleased Karine James. “Did you hear that, Yvette? You should’ve married someone like Nathan. He’d buy you anything you like. Finn Taylor, hurry up and buy Yvette one.”
Finn Taylor picked up the bag and turned to his wife. “Do you like it?”
Before Yvette Larson could say anything, Karine James cut in. “Why are you asking so many questions? Just buy it. Look, Nathan didn’t even ask any questions.”
By this time, Nathan Yeats had already swiped his card and bought the bag.
Karine James swung the bag over her shoulder in a victorious manner. “See, men should be generous like him.”
“But I really don’t like this bag.” Without her cousin around, Yvette Larson might’ve considered getting the bag. But now that Karine James had mocked and ridiculed her, she had grown disdainful of that bag.
There was no way she was going to buy it.
“Yvette, do you not like it, or can you not afford it? If you can’t afford it, just admit to it. I won’t laugh at you for it. Why don’t you pick something you like? I’ll ask Nathan to buy it for you.”
As she said that, Karine James’s heart bled. ‘It’s too good a deal for Yvette Larson, but I have no other choice since I’m putting on an act.’
“Oh, alright then. I admit that our family can’t afford this bag. Can I really choose a bag and get Nathan Yeats to pay for me?”
‘I’ve already given my word. Besides, Yvette Larson has even admitted that their family can’t afford a bag. Could I possibly go back on my word?’
“Of course. Take your pick—Nathan will buy it for you.” Karine James gritted her teeth and forced those words out.
She then saw Yvette Larson walking toward the premium section of the boutique.
‘F*ck! Why’s she going there?’
This boutique sold more affordable bags, as well as more premium ones. A normal bag would cost a few thousand at the very most, but the premium ones cost at least tens of thousands.
‘Is Yvette Larson going to be so shameless to ask for one from the premium collection?’
“How about this?” Yvette Larson pointed at one of the bags.
This bag looked similar to the one Finn Taylor had given her, but it was of better quality. They were obviously from the same series, but this was simply the more premium version.
Karine James flared up and immediately lashed out at her cousin. “Yvette Larson, can you get any more shameless? I said that I was going to give you a bag, and you chose a 50,000 dollar one? Why don’t you rob a bank instead?!”
Yvette Larson sighed. “Oh, you can’t afford it? Never mind then. I said I didn’t need you to give me one, but you insisted. Isn’t it awkward now that you can’t afford it?”
Karine James was at a loss for words. “It’s not that I can’t afford it, but who are you for Nathan to give you a 50,000-dollar bag?”
Karine James was on the verge of exploding. ‘Is she really too poor? Greed probably got the better of my cousin earlier when I said that I would give her a bag. Otherwise, there’s no way she would’ve asked for that 50,000-dollar bag.’
But Finn Taylor walked up to the display and picked the bag up. He looked at his wife and asked seriously, “Do you like it?”
“Yes.” Yvette Larson didn’t try to hide it, and she had always been honest toward her spouse.
Finn Taylor nodded and was about to pay for it when a beautiful lady walked up. “Hello, you two look very familiar. Take this bag as my gift to you.”
It was none other than Chloe Yeats. It was by chance that she had bumped into Finn Taylor and the rest.
Because Finn Taylor was in town, she wanted to get herself a new outfit and had decided to come to the mall. It was purely by coincidence that she had run into Finn Taylor here.
“That’s alright.” Finn Taylor shook his head and refused the offer.
“Oh, what a pity. However, I won’t go back on my words. Hey, when they buy a bag later, give them another for free.”
As Chloe Yeats said those words, Nathan Yeats was scared stiff as he stood by the side.
He didn’t dare to make a peep—he clearly remembered the lies that Karine James had spoken earlier. ‘If Chloe Yeats were to learn of those lies, I’d be done for.’
But just then, Linda James spoke up. “Oh, you’re Chloe Yeats. Nice to meet you. I’m Nathan Yeats’s elder aunt. I heard that you’re his cousin—we’re family then.”
Chloe Yeats’s gaze hardened. “Nathan Yeats? Who is he? I don’t have a cousin like that. Is someone trying to use my name to get business in Los Angeles? It seems like I’ll have to get my people to kick that Nathan Yeats out of the business circle here.”
At that moment, Nathan Yeats was on the brink of tears. It was completely possible for his company to be blacklisted with Chloe Yeats’s command.
Then, his future would be ruined.
Linda James knew her niece all too well, and that was why she hadn’t believed the latter when she had first said so. ‘Now, I’m going to use this opportunity to crush Karine James and Nathan Yeats all at once!’
