“Maybe for some people, but for you… well, that’s a bit trickier,” Charmaine remarked, her tone casual.

She glanced at the card but didn’t give it any more thought.

The Nelson brothers, especially Milo, seemed to have inherited a rather shallow mindset.

They looked down on her to such an extent that they felt the need to take her meal card. How petty.
