Chapter 158: Orlenna Forced Margaret To Go Home
In the mall.
Margaret was called over by Hilla’s phone. She was so sleepy.
"There is nothing to shop around here. What do you like? Just find the photos online and send them to my brother. He will let someone send those things to your house. The weather is so hot today. Besides, there are all kinds of things online."
Margaret was dragged by Hilla to the elevator reluctantly. She was still sleepy.
Hilla looked around and took Margaret toward the places where she wanted to go.
"There are more kinds on the Internet, but you have to see it with your own eyes and touch it to know how the fabric is, especially for babies’ clothes."
Not like the tired Margaret, Hilla was in high spirits, especially when she saw those cute little clothes, her eyes were shining.
"Hurry up. What time did you sleep last night? Why are you so tired?"
Hilla dragged Margaret and then Margaret yawned and waved her hand lazily. "Last night? I didn’t go to bed until morning today."
Hilla turned around abruptly, her sharp gaze landing on Margaret.
Margaret was shocked by Hilla’s sudden action. Her drowsiness suddenly disappeared. "What are you doing?"
"You didn’t sleep until this morning? Margaret, you are crazy. You indulge yourself too much after graduation. If Mother and Bruce know that, you probably won’t have any pocket money in the future."
Pocket money. The words excited Margaret, especially the word "money". She was thrilled when she heard it.
Margaret grabbed Hilla’s hands, and her eyes were glowing, like a hungry wolf who had seen fresh meat. Margaret sniffled excitedly and pouted.
"Dear sister-in-law, I know that you love me the most."
Every time Margaret called her sister- in-law, Hilla knew that she must have something to ask from her, especially her wallet, which was the most frequently requested.
Hilla frowned and quickly pulled her hands out, wiping them on her clothes.
The Margaret who was eager for money was truly terrifying!
"A sister-in-law is comparable to a mother."
Margaret was about to say something more, but Hilla covered her mouth.
"Don’t go on, I’m getting scared." Hilla thought.
"I’m your sister."
"Blood is thicker than water!"
Margaret tried to pull down Hilla’s hand from her mouth. However, Hilla was too strong and her movements were skillful. Although Margaret was taller than Hilla, she couldn’t beat her.
Hilla grabbed Margaret’s wrist, but she didn’t hurt her. "I gave you my credit card. I won’t listen to you anymore. Be good. Don’t force me to hit you."
This was not a threat. Although she was Bruce’s wife, she couldn’t always ask Bruce for money.
Of course, Bruce would take the initiative to give her money, but she didn’t take it every time. She didn’t want to feel like she owed him something.
After the Tong family had nothing, she really had no money on her. Although Bruce had given her a black card, she only spent it on normal days. It was also to prevent Halle from worrying about her life in the Lu family.
But it was clear that Margaret did not think so.
Margaret thought that her brother’s money was also Hilla’s money. If she got money from Hilla, with her understanding of her own brother, he would offer Hilla his money.
Therefore, Hilla must have money!
"I don’t blackmail!"
Margaret struggled to speak, temporarily withdrawing her desire for money.
It was too difficult to ask for money. She must be the poorest daughter of a rich family in the world.
Looking at Margaret’s sincerity, Hilla put down her hand slowly. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I can buy you something with Bruce’s credit card, but I really don’t have any money."
That was all Hilla could do. After all, she asked Margaret to come over. It could be her fee, even though Hilla felt unnecessary.
"Okay, then let’s buy something!"
Unexpectedly, Margaret agreed immediately. Hilla couldn’t believe it.
The Andersons didn’t satisfy you.
"Only one thing."
Margaret nodded. She blinked her eyes and held out a finger obediently. "Just one!"
"Alright then!"
She had only used the black card that Bruce gave her a few times, and the highest amount was only over 10,000.
"Hilla, you are my most beloved sister-in-law, my brother’s good wife."
Hilla pursed her lips. If she was Bruce’s good wife, she would probably let the Anderson Group bankrupt.
"What are we looking for today?"
After being bribed, Margaret immediately got energetic. She completely lost her drowsiness before and smiled broadly.
Hilla now had a strong desire to beat her.
Margaret was so realistic.
"Here, the baby clothes."
Hilla pointed at the baby shop not far away. Margaret immediately widened her eyes and said, "Hilla, you are pregnant!"
What a surprise! There would be a baby in the Anderson family.
Hilla rolled her eyes and said angrily, "I am not. It’s my sister."
"Halle? I knew Halle is pregnant. Is it twins? But it doesn’t look like there are twins in her belly. After so many obstetrical examinations, she should know if is twins."
Margaret raised her face and was lost in thought. She was so confused and Hilla was irritated by Margaret’s stupidity.
"What are you thinking? I want to make some clothes for my nephew, but I don’t know much about the fabric of babies’ clothes. I should be more careful so I come here to take a look. I originally wanted my sister to come and pick some that she likes, but it’s difficult for her to move now due to her big belly, and she doesn’t sleep well recently, so it is inappropriate to ask her out. Otherwise, I won’t call you."
After all, Margaret could provide more opinions.
Margaret nodded her head and said cheerfully, "Then let’s hurry up."
Anyway, she had gotten the money, so she could do anything that Hilla wanted.
The two of them shopped around a few stores in the mall. Although Hilla knew about fabrics, she didn’t know about children.
She didn’t know how to choose these things.
"We don’t buy!"
Seeing Margaret excitedly take a bunch of clothes, Hilla told her quickly. Halle had prepared her baby’s clothes long before. It was Hilla who wanted to make two more sets of clothes for her unborn nephew.
"Why don’t we buy? It’s ok. Our family is rich. Just use my brother’s card." Margaret said with pride. There was nothing better than shopping for women. Hilla smiled. "My sister has already prepared a lot of clothes. She doesn’t need
these."
Margaret nodded and said, "I know. These are not for Halle’s baby. These are for my future nephew. You and my brother will need these sooner or later. Am I considerate?"
Seeing Margaret winking at her, Hilla chuckled. "You are not just considerate. You are too considerate!" Hilla thought.
...
Hilla went to many stores to shop for her baby. She looked at children’s clothing at almost all ages. In the last baby store, she was attracted by a pair of children’s shoes.
The shoes were different from other products in the store. It must be handmade by a skillful craftsman.
It was unique and stylish, especially the cute tiger on the toe cap.
"The shoes are nice." Margaret also liked it very much. She found it was interesting and fun to look at these children’s things.
She even wanted to have a baby after shopping with Hilla in so many baby stores.
These clothes were so cute.
"I think so. The craftsmanship is unique and the material and pattern are also special. I have never seen such shoes before."
Margaret only focused on the appearance, while Hilla noticed more about the craftsmanship.
Margaret wanted to buy the shoes for her future nephew just because it was cute. "Miss, you have a good taste. The shoes were made by our boss. It is priceless."
The shop assistant came over with a smile, just like other enthusiastic shop assistants.
Hilla was surprised, "Is this made by your boss?"
Thus Hilla thought the boss must be a skillful craftsman.
The shop assistant smiled. "Yes, a lot of our clothes are also purely handmade. Moreover, you can also customize the style and size that you like. Miss, if you are interested, you can follow me and take a look."
The outer room of this store was filled with baby products. But Hilla didn’t expect that there were all handmade products inside.
All the products, including clothes for teenagers, socks, wristers, toys, and even decorations, were all handmade.
Hilla felt that this baby store was more like a grocery store inside. However, every product, regardless of size, was made very meticulously.
"There is only one size for each product here. If you have a custom-made request, you can tell us the style and requirements according to our custom-made guide."
While the shop assistant was making the introductions, Hilla was attracted by these products. Then she stared at a white and blue vest.
The vest was not for babies, but adults.
Moreover, the pattern on it was not colorful or cute, but a blue kettle and a butterfly with broken wings.
Hilla seemed to be attracted by the pattern deeply. She stared at it for a long time.
The shop assistant saw this and said, "Miss, you do have a unique taste. This is also made by our boss. There are only two products were made by our boss in the store, the shoes, and this vest."
"Is this also made by your boss?"
Hilla raised her head and asked in a daze.
She couldn’t help but feel the two products were very familiar. "May I meet your boss? Is he here?"
"I’m sorry, Miss. I’m afraid you may not. I don’t know the contact information of our boss and he never came to the store, so..."
The shop assistant looked embarrassed. This was the first time she had met a customer with such a request. She wondered whether she should call the shop manager over.
Hilla smiled embarrassedly, "It doesn’t matter. My request is kind of unreasonable."
Hilla did feel her request was improper. After all, she just was a guest who came here for shopping not for seeking relatives.
Hearing this, the shop assistant let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Margaret got a phone call from Orlenna. She soon ran out of the store.
"Mom, don’t worry. I’m finding jobs.
"You just need to trust me. I’m a mature college graduate. It’s easy for me to get a job. Anyway, I won’t work in the Anderson Group. I will have no freedom under Bruce’s nose."
Margaret’s complaints and resistance sounded like the buzzing of a fly in Orlenna’s ears.
She felt Margaret was as annoying as a fly.
However, she had to be responsible for Margaret because she was her daughter.
"Margaret, don’t be too confident. You are just an ordinary graduate and you are too pampered. No company would hire you."
"Mom, can you stop calling me by that name? And you look down upon college graduates. My educational background is valuable."
Margaret had always been dissatisfied with her mother’s discrimination, but she could do nothing. After all, she was a graduate just out of college.
In her mind, no one would condemn her for living off Orlenna.
Moreover, the Anderson family was rich. Even if Margaret was a graduate from primary school or got no job for her lifetime, she could live comfortably. Therefore, Margaret thought Orlenna would say to her, "Honey, don’t be too tired at work. You have mom. If you don’t want to work, just stay at home. Mon will support you."
But Orlenna’s attitude was not like this at all.
"Your most valuable identity is not a college graduate but an Andersons. Besides, I’m not looking down upon college graduates. I just feel no company would hire a graduate like you!"
Margaret knew that meant Orlenna was looking down upon her.
She was furious. "Mom, you are discriminating against me."
Orlenna helplessly rubbed her temples and said, "I don’t want to be like this. But you never got a proper job. Last time, you even went to the Far City to be a barmaid. I haven’t discussed this with you. Do not test me, Margaret."
When Margaret heard barmaid, she was even angrier.
"I already said that it was a misunderstanding. How can you trust others that easily?"
Margaret thought it was all Julian’s fault. So she hated Julian and swore she would take revenge on him.
In her mind, it was Julian who labeled her as a barmaid.
Therefore, Orlenna cut all her credit cards. She even didn’t dare to go home and meet with Orlenna.
The more Margaret thought about it, the angrier she felt. She swore she would seek revenge on Julian.
"If it was a misunderstanding, then you just come back and give me an explanation. Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you are outside. If you don’t come back within three days, I’ll ask your brother to get you back personally."
"If Bruce knows this thing, I would have no pocket money for my lifetime." Margaret thought.
Orlenna forced Margaret to go home!
"I’ll come back. Don’t bother Bruce. I’m in the baby store with Hilla now."
"What did you say? Hilla was in baby store!"
Orlenna was so surprised and happy.
