Chapter 167: Tina, Can't You Afford a Dress?

Back in Ashbury, at the Reed residence, Jasper Reed had just ended a call with Old Mr. Reed, his expression far from pleasant. "Is it Logan tattling to your dad again?"

Emrys, a child saved by Natalie Whittaker years ago, was held in high regard by Jasper due to Natalie's influence. Despite his temper, Emrys had proven his capabilities and had contributed significantly to the Reed family.

Indeed, it wasn't the best outfit for such an occasion. Jennie had prepared a dress for her, but she had chosen this outfit deliberately-Tina was not one to forget past slights easily. Amber, pretending to be helpful, offered, "Tina, can't you afford a dress? I have several spare ones

Each of those dresses is expensive. What if she stains or damages them? Or worse, tries to
