“What…”
Jeanne almost thought her ears were playing tricks on her.
It succeeded!
The payment of more than 180,000 was unexpectedly successful!
From the side, the smile on the rich woman’s face stiffened as she looked in disbelief.
“How could that be? How could she have so much money?!”
“Hmph, a word of advice. Don’t be such a snob to others in the future!”
Jeanne grabbed her beloved bag and left on her high heels in style, leaving the rich woman fuming.
Only when she left the mall did she relax and finally let out a long sigh of relief.
She almost became a laughing stock, but the one who saved her was Augustus!
Jeanne immediately went to check the balance on the car, and the amount shown was more than 1.8 million!
In other words, before buying the bag, the card had a total of two million!
Jeanne was completely stunned.
Two million!
That man stayed at home all day and never did anything. Where did he get so much money?
Jeanne felt that she had to have a good talk with Augustus!
At the same time, Augustus brought Skylar to the preschool on his electric bike.
Just then, a voice was heard.
“Skylar, why did you come to school on an electric bike again? Doesn’t your family even have a car?”
On the side of the road, a young boy with curly hair dressed fashionably peeked out from a Toyota.
This little boy’s name was Grayson Locke. He was Skylar’s classmate.
Although Augustus would not bicker with a child, he did feel bad in his heart.
After all, Skylar’s preschool was nothing short of esteemed, and the children who attended had very good family backgrounds. There were not many who sent their child to school on an electric bike like him.
Skylar’s expression was very stubborn. “I like electric bikes. As long as Daddy can take me to school, I like any ride!”
“Liar. It’s so cold on an electric bike. It’s super hot in the summer and you’ll get completely drenched when it rains. Who would like it?”
“I like it. Whatcha gonna do about it?”
Skylar sounded immature, but it made Augustus’s heart flush with a warm current.
No matter when, his daughter never disdained him and even stood up for him. The child’s kindness touched Augustus so much that he wanted to cry.
At that moment, in the driver’s seat of the Toyota, Grayson’s father’s face became unpleasant.
“Grayson, if she likes to sit on an electric bike, then mind your own business! Besides, do you think everyone can afford a car like us?”
The man spoke while not forgetting to glance at Augustus with unspeakable superiority on his face.
Augustus was unimpressed. He could tell that Grayson’s father was directing those words at him.
It was originally a mindless chatter between two children, but the other party became angry and even mocked him. That was a little overboard.
What was worse had yet to come.
After saying his piece, the Toyota floored the accelerator. The engine let out a roar and left them in the dust.
It was to deliberately show off and was even a little ill-intentioned.
Since the pavement at the entrance of the preschool was still under construction, there was loess everywhere.
The sudden acceleration of the Toyota immediately raised a cloud of dust, so Augustus and Skylar naturally suffered.
Augustus ate a mouthful of soil, and Skylar could not open her eyes.
No matter how good Augustus’s temper was, some anger welled up in his heart.
“Skylar, how are you? Are your eyes okay?”
Augustus stopped the bike and blew Skylar’s eyes.
Skylar wiped the tears flowing out of her eyes and quickly nodded.
“I’m fine, Daddy.”
Seeing how his daughter’s clean and combed hair was now covered in dust, Augustus’s heart felt very upset.
He was too incompetent and caused his daughter to suffer along with him.
“Skylar, do you actually want to go to school by car too?”
Skylar shook her head quickly. “No, as long as Daddy sends me to school, I like riding in anything. I wouldn’t mind walking either!”
“Then, if Daddy drove you in a car, would you like it too?”
“Of course. If Daddy is with me and we can ride in a car, then I’ll like it even more!”
However, after she spoke, her little face flooded with a troubled expression. “But Mommy has to drive our family car to work, so it’s better for us to take the electric bike.”
Although she was only four, she was surprisingly sensible.
Augustus stroked Skylar’s head with a faint smile. “Don’t worry, Daddy will buy another car.”
“Really?”
“Of course. When has Daddy ever lied to you? When I come to pick you up in the afternoon, I’ll drive the new car over, okay?”
“Oh, yay! I can go to school in a car too!”
Skylar jumped in joy.
Obviously, Skylar knew that it was more comfortable riding in a car, but she only said so because she did not want to make things difficult for Augustus.
Seeing Skylar being so sensible, Augustus’s heart was touched again.
After leaving the preschool, Augustus went straight to the Mercedes-Benz dealership.
Augustus did not know much about cars, so he just chose a brand he heard of before.
As soon as he entered the door, a saleswoman greeted him.
The saleswoman was very young and had just joined not long after graduating from college.
“Hello, Sir. Are you here to look at our cars?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Well, please come with me over here and let me introduce some to you.”
The saleswoman was very polite. Augustus followed her and went straight to the showroom in the hall.
Just then, a voice came around.
“You again?”
Augustus was also stunned when he saw the person whose voice belonged to.
It was no other than Grayson Locke’s father!
