Chapter 15

“Back when I was working at the digital store, I was able to save some money from my salary, especially when the business was doing good."

Then, she paused for a bit to prepare them for something they might not believe. "I bought it with my own money.”

"You bought it? How could you have afforded it?"

It was obvious that Bill was in utter disbelief. This girl had just graduated from high school. There was no way she could have made enough money from part-time jobs to afford such a precious jade pendant.
