The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 321

On the other hand, they were all from well-off families, maybe not high society, but accustomed to the finer things in life. Just their bedding and clothes alone could rack up to a hefty sum. Hearing her stuff being called junk, Kara suddenly wanted to ditch them. Her pride got the better of her as she said, "Oh, I don't know whose stuff that is. I was keeping an eye on it for someone." "Yeah, right. It looks like the kind of stuff someone would dump, not store. Those suitcases and bags? Total thrift store vibe."
