"What? 700,000 dollars!" Sasha exclaimed.

Lina glanced at her with an indifferent smile. "What's the matter? 700,000 dollars isn't too much, is it? Besides, you promised to give my daughter a special gift. You can't back out now!"

"Exactly!" Arya walked over, playfully patting Sasha's shoulder. "Lenny, you'll give it to Sephy, right? Pammy, a gem is a small price for your close friendship!"

Sasha's expression shifted, but she stayed silent. Did Lina live such a lavish life that she didn't care about such money? Was that why she spoke this way?

"Oh, isn't that Lena, close to Ms. Thompson?" Some nearby female celebrities started whispering. "Did you catch what they were saying?"

"It seems... they had a prior agreement. Lena was supposed to give Ms. Thompson's daughter a grand gift, and now she seems to be backing out."

"Really? Well, their high-society sisterhood doesn't seem so special after all! Lena used to act inseparable from Ms. Thompson, following her everywhere... Why doesn't she keep up appearances now that she's with the Hamerton heir?"

"The gift is worth 700,000 dollars... Their plastic bond isn't even worth that much!"

Sasha couldn't hide her irritation. She was about to turn and scold them when Lina gripped her wrist.
