Chapter 11 I Don't Have Bad Taste

• Edmund froze for a moment before letting out an awkward laugh. "Better not."
• At Winthrop Corporation, he busied himself with work while Elspeth spent her entire day in the security booth again.
• On the third day, she spent her day with Blake Winthrop.
• He was a celebrity with millions of fans. Today just happened to be his birthday and the tenth anniversary of his debut. As such, he spent the day rehearsing for his concert that night, so he did not have time to care about her.
• Around the afternoon, Ophelia came over to the Winthrop Residence around the afternoon before attending the concert with the rest of the Winthrops. Elspeth had woken up from her nap and came downstairs when she saw Ophelia approaching her with a smile. "Elspeth, we were just planning on going shopping for some clothes and getting a gift for Blake on the way. Why don't you join us?"
• After pondering about it, Elspeth did not reject the offer and followed the others out of the villa.
• When they arrived at the shopping mall, Ophelia pulled her into a branded women's clothing store and said, "Elspeth, you're so pretty. I bet you'd look good in this dress."
• The four men waited by the entrance while Ophelia glanced at them before picking a dark green dress from the clothing rack. "This looks good. Why don't you try it on?"
• Taking a look at that dress, Elspeth saw that it was the kind that looked mature.
• Seeing that Elspeth did not speak, Ophelia grabbed another one and asked, "How about this?"
• Elspeth narrowed her eyes at the wide and revealing dress, then retorted, "Ophelia, you don't have to pretend to be nice if you don't like me, and you don't have to use such methods to humiliate me. Though I grew up in the country, my taste in fashion isn't any worse than yours."
• "Elspeth, you must've misunderstood me…" Ophelia's face fell. Indeed, she thought that since Elspeth came from the countryside, Elspeth would not know anything about fashion as she usually wore ordinary T-shirts. Who would have guessed...
• On the other hand, Elspeth did not bother with how Ophelia was feeling and looked around the store. Then, she asked the attendant to bag up all the dresses she liked. When it was time to pay, she took out her phone.
• At that moment, a pair of long, slender fingers handed a black card to the cashier. "Swipe mine."
• It was Callum.
• The cashier was stunned for a moment when she saw his handsome face, but she quickly received the card.
• "Thank you." Elspeth coldly thanked him.
• He replied flatly, "Don't overthink it. It's my dad's orders." After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving a speechless woman in his wake.
• Meanwhile, Ophelia could not help clenching her fists at the scene as a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes.
• By the time they left the shopping mall, the two bodyguards behind them had their hands full of shopping bags, which could tally up to almost three hundred thousand worth of goods!
• Max, who was by her side, could not help but taunt, "Some people are so shameless. Spending someone else's money without any constraint. Unmannered, as one would expect from someone who grew up in a small town."
• It was obvious that he was implying Elspeth since he still hated her for saying he was immature! Although I'm the youngest in the family, I'm already eighteen.
• When she heard that, she wanted to respond, but Ophelia by the side beat her to it. "Max, how could you say that? Elspeth is just buying a few things."
• "You call this a few things?!"
• Elspeth snorted and questioned, "It's not like you paid for them."
• Stunned, Max replied, "That's Callum's money!"
• "You're right. It's Callum's money. He didn't even say anything, yet you're here whining about it!" After she said that, she got in the car.
• Meanwhile, the others behind her laughed. They did not expect her to be so unforgiving with her words and they found her quite interesting.
