Chapter 14 You Know How Much I Love You
"Especially you, Sophia! I want to puke at the sight of you!" Aria pointed at Sophia again.
Sophia smiled, "Really? But I don't see you puking right now, or did you force it back into your stomach?"
"Yikes! That's disgusting!" Chloe pinched her nose with one hand and then smiled and said, "But I'm glad to know that. Haha!"
Aria looked at Sophia angrily. Every time she saw Sophia, she wanted to skin Sophia alive.
"Sophia, who do you think you are? All you know is to seduce those dumb men! You are nothing without them!"
Sophia wasn't angry at all, but smiled even more brightly, "You are right. But at least I can still do something. I gotta have good looks to seduce those dumb men, right? But you, Miss Riley, you can't even seduce a man. Oh, I almost forgot that back then..."
"Shut up!"
Aria seemed irritated by her words and yelled.
Sophia chuckled, with mockery in her eyes.
Aria looked at the salesman, " I want this car. How much is it?"
Sophia had intended to talk Chloe out of buying this car. She thought Chloe could book a new one instead of buying an old one.
But she changed her mind upon seeing Aria's attitude.
"We want it. And we want three. Helena, is there any car you like? Go buy it, and I will pay."
Helena nodded her head.
"Huh!" Aria suddenly laughed, "Sophia, it has been three years and you are still as pretentious as before. You can pay for three cars of this style? You think your sugar daddy can pay for these?"
Chloe looked at Aria as if she was a complete fool. She knew that Sophia didn't want Aria to know her real identity. Chloe could imagine that Aria would be dumbstruck if she knew who Sophia really was.
The salesman questioned, "Miss, are you sure you want three?"
Chloe said with a frown, "Hey, mind your words! You think we can't afford three? This lady here can buy the whole store if she wants to."
Aria laughed again, "Sophia, did you become rich using the money my family gave to you? But it was only a million. Or... Have you been sleeping with countless men to get so much money? Acting like you are some kind of billionaire."
"I don't need to tell you anything. But I guess you should think about how much money is in your pocket."
Sophia knew that although Aria was the daughter of the Riley family, she had been spending money extravagantly over the years and her family had limited her expenses.
The cars here was not cheap, and one of these would cost tens of millions. Of course, the money was nothing for the Riley family, but not for Aria.
"What? I am Aria Riley. I can afford all these cars here!"
"Good! Chloe, maybe we should leave the car to her."
Chloe understood what Sophia meant and smiled, "I don't mind."
Aria proudly said, "I want this car. How much is it? Swipe my card!"
The salesman said respectfully, "It is 26 million."
What?
Aria was dumbfounded.
Twenty-six million!
How could it be?
Chloe deliberately asked, "Aria, you are the daughter of the Riley family. I think you should be able to afford it, right? It's not much money."
"Of course." Aria said these words through her gritted teeth.
But in fact, she really didn't have that much money. She whispered to Emilia, who hadn't said a word, "Emilia, lend me ten million. I will pay you back."
Aria had less than 20 million now. She had to cut down on a lot of expenses to save the money. Though she was the daughter of the Riley family, everyone had been laughing at her for driving an old car, saying that she had lost her family's favor.
Therefore, she had been saving money just to buy a new car.
Emilia looked embarrassed, "Aria, I don't have that much money."
"What? You are the daughter of the Lane family!" Aria didn't believe her, "You think I won't return the money, huh?"
Everyone had been saying that Emilia must have been living a wealthy life since she was found back by her family. However, only Emilia herself and her aunt, Olivia, knew that the Lane family had gone down and out, which was the reason they were in such a rush to ask her to marry Drake.
"I really don't!" Emilia wanted to help Aria. Of course, she knew it was a good opportunity to win Aria's support, but she didn't have enough money.
The two had been whispering, but Sophia, Helena and Chloe could hear them.
"Aria, it seems you don't have enough money. Do you need me to lend it to you?"
"I'm Aria Riley, the lady of the Riley family. Of course, I have a lot of money. I just didn't bring that much with me. Wait here, I just need to make a phone call."
With that, Aria took her phone out and called Olivia.
"Mom, give me 10 million. Yes, I want to buy a car..." Before she could finish, Olivia had hung up the phone.
It was suddenly very quiet and awkward.
Sophia sneered.
Of course, Aria wouldn't borrow the money from her so-called friends. If they knew that she had to borrow money to buy a car, she would be humiliated and laughed at.
Chloe said with a smile, "Maybe you should just give up, since you don't have enough money, obviously."
Aria had to buy it, she couldn't lose her pride in front of Sophia. But she didn't know how to get the money until Emilia said a few words in her ear.
Aria hesitated for a while and soon said, "Just wait here! I will get the money soon. I am having this car!"
Before long, she had the money transferred to her account.
As soon as Aria paid for the car, she got the car key. She said proudly, "Well, have you seen it? You losers."
Sophia smiled and did not speak.
But somehow, the look in her eyes made Aria extremely uncomfortable.
But Aria didn't leave right away. She had bought the car. She wanted to see Sophia embarrass herself when she couldn't pay for three cars.
After Sophia told the salesman the cars she wanted to buy, the salesman told her the price. In total, she had to pay a hundred million.
Aria had been waiting to see Sophia embarrass herself, but when Sophia took out the black card, she was dumbfounded.
Black card? How could Sophia have it? Not even she had it!
The salesman swiped the card and sent it back to Sophia, saying respectfully, "Miss Lawson, we will have the cars delivered in five days."
Sophia took the card back and casually put it back into her purse. "Okay, thank you."
As Sophia passed by Aria, she smiled and reminded her, "Aria, why are you looking at me like this? You should think about how to pay the usury back."
Aria flushed. "I didn't borrow usury!"
"Oh? You didn't, huh?"
Sophia clearly didn't believe her.
But without giving Aria any chance to speak, she left with Chloe and Helena.
As they left, Chloe looked back and stuck out her tongue at Aria. "Haha, I'm afraid you can't return the money!"
"You..."
Aria was absolutely pissed.
At night.
Emilia booked the whole restaurant tonight for this moment. At the thought of how Sophia bought the three cars with that black card during the day, she felt it unfair. How could Sophia be so rich? Why couldn't she be the same as Sophia?
Over the years, she had been loving Drake with her soul and heart and in the end, she got nothing.
So, she didn't want to wait anymore.
"You booked all the tables?"
Drake noticed it as soon as he walked in.
Emilia immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Drake. I don't want anyone to disturb me... You don't mind, do you?"
Drake sat opposite her, "Just say it. I have something to do later."
Emilia tried to suppress her unhappiness and poured him a glass of water. "Drink some water first."
Drake didn't think much, picked up the glass and took a sip.
He was really thirsty. It had been a busy day today and he hadn't drunk any water.
"Just say it."
Emilia sat down. "Drake, I know you won't believe me whatever I say. And I know that I have done a lot of wrong things. It was indeed all my fault, but Drake, do you know? Back then..."
Drake stood up, "Don't mention anything from the past to me. My grandfather has announced the cancellation of the engagement. Even if he didn't, I wouldn't marry you."
Emilia panicked and grabbed his arm, "Drake, can't you give me another chance? Just for the sake of all these years I have loved you? You know how much I love you and there is no one else but I who..."
Before she could finish, Drake realized that something was wrong.
His head was obviously dizzy. When he looked at Emilia, his sight was blurred, he seemed to see Sophia or Emilia in front of him.
"You drugged me?"
