Chapter 209 Do You Know Him?
“I have used this purse for a while, and it’s a little dirty now. How about I give you another one?” In fact, Cora didn’t intend to really give Evelyn such an expensive purse, and it was just to test her. Evelyn smiled. “If you don’t want to exchange it with me, it’s fine.” This sounded like a compromise, but Cora felt that Evelyn was forcing her to exchange her purse in disguise. In front of so many rich wives, she felt that she would be petty if she disagreed with Evelyn. It would be acceptable if it were something else, but since Evelyn gave it to her as a gift from Byron, she has always believed that she did so under duress. So even when Nora gave her frequent glances, indicating that she should agree to exchange the purse, Cora still smiled and said, “I also loved it very much.” She made it clear that she just didn’t want to exchange it with Evelyn!
Evelyn’s smile also faded visibly on the spot. “Nora, Byron’s fiancée, seems to be frugal and can arrange expenses well in the future.” Margaret, who was in charge of organizing the party, witnessed her granddaughter’s request to change her purse being rejected, suddenly smiled, and said to Nora. Frugal? For ordinary people, this was definitely a compliment. But those wealthy families were not short of money, so if they were too frugal, they would appear to be cheap. Nora also knew that Margaret seemed to compliment her on the surface, but in fact, she was calling Cora petty. “We’ll see about that.” She responded to Margaret with a smile without directly mentioning the topic of the fiancée. It also showed others that Cora might not be Byron’s wife.
