The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 287

Shakira raised her eyebrows nonchalantly, taking her time to savor the personal condemnation from Lucy. "Reckless spending, without restraint..."

She leisurely folded her arms. "According to you, your uncle has also been kind to you, right? And you're full of conscience. Today is Carnaval, so I assume you didn't come along just to spend Xanthe's money, did you?" With her chin up and standing on moral high ground, Lucy said without hesitation, "Of course. Xanthe treats me so well. When I ask her to buy things for me, it's just joking. There's no way I'd actually let her spend money. "Unlike you". Lucy stared at Shakira, her tone confident and assured. "Taking advantage of favors without limits. Xanthe always praises you for treating her well, but from what I see, you're just like the rest, using her for her money and benefits." The sales assistants nearby heard this and looked at Shakira with a hint of disdain. But Shakira seemed unfazed by their expressions and instead had a moment of realization. "Oh, I see. I misunderstood you."

With her head held high, Lucy felt empowered after scolding Shakira, now regarding herself with a sense of authority and dignity, while viewing Shakira as nothing more than a jester.

"What are you all chatting about? I saw you guys talking non-stop from a distance." Xanthe returned with a curious smile, wanting to know the gossip.

"Just now, Shakira was saying she feels bad about spending your money on pricey skincare products," Lucy quickly cut in, grabbing the opportunity before Shakira could react, and shot a sidelong glance at her. Xanthe looked at Shakira, astonished. "Shakira, are you really so formal with me?"

Shakira gave a gentle smile and said, "It's Carnaval today, and I was just thinking about what gift to give you."

She paused briefly before teasingly pulling Lucy into the conversation. "It's not just me. Lucy also said she was embarrassed to spend your money on those skincare products and was planning to pay for them herself." Lucy's eyes widened in surprise. She had just mentioned it casually, never actually planning to buy it herself.

This set of skincare products wasn't as costly as theirs, but together, they would still be about 3 thousand dollars. Her living

expenses

for half a year were only 3 thousand dollars.

"Really?" Xanthe was even more surprised. She could understand Shakira, but Lucy had always spent her money without a second thought. Xanthe wondered, 'Could it be that she'd suddenly grown a conscience?' Lucy forced a smile. "Shakira is right. It's Carnaval today. How could I feel right always spending your money?"

Xanthe nodded, feeling emotional. "It's nice that you're thinking this way. This is the first time you've ever offered to pay. Very good. You're finally growing up."

"Oh? The first time..." Shakira said thoughtfully. "You are growing up now."

Xanthe unexpectedly brought up the past, and Lucy could feel the knowing looks from Shakira and the sales assistants. She bit her lower lip tightly.
