Chapter 164
"Since Thalia was a child, Winona used to give her clothes and other things that Winona had decided not to keep.
Thalia never expected that Winona would offer to buy one for her.
She was so ecstatic.
Thalia asked, "Do you mean it?"
"When have | ever lied to you?" Winona then asked her to choose one she liked.
Thalia walked to the door and pointed at an aqua blue handbag in the center of the window and said to the
shopkeeper, "I want to have a look at this one."
The shopkeeper disdained Thalia from the moment they entered the store. However, when she heard that
Winona was going to pay for Thalia, she smilingly got the purse and said, "You have good taste. This is a new
limited edition. There is only one in each of our stores. We just put it on the shelf. You're lucky to have it before it
is sold."
The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced the purse.
Thalia had researched the current vogue for upscale products. She intended to ask her father to send her money
so she could buy clothes and a purse for job interviews.
She learned from the experience that her suitors would purchase quality items for her rather than inferior ones if
they noticed fancy clothes on her. In this way, those poor pursuers would not dare to keep pursuing her.
"Can | have this one, Winona?" With the purse in her hand, Thalia felt that she would look stunning if she had
changed into fancy clothes.
Winona sneered inwardly. She was surprised to learn that Thalia had a strong sense of style, which would save
her a lot of trouble.
With a smile on her face, Winona took out a Gold Card from her purse and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper, who dealt with all kinds of customers every day, understood what Winona meant and took over
her Gold Card with both hands. "Ms. Salvatore, please enter the password here."
After the payment, the shopkeeper asked Thalia, "Miss, do you want to carry it now or have it wrapped up?"
"Thalia hesitated and said, """Wrap it up!"" Today she wasn't dressed appropriately for carrying a purse valued at
half a million dollars.
"Ms. Salvatore, do you still want your purse delivered to your newlywed villa?" The shopkeeper was taking note.
"Yes." Winona was pregnant now, so she shouldn't carry anything. And she had more purchases to make later.
"Thalia confidently walked out of the upscale store, carrying the purse bearing the well-known brand's logo.
While window shopping with Winona in various luxury stores, Thalia learned a lot. Every tWinona bought
something, she asked Thalia to pick one that she liked. Thalia was surprised to discover how cool it was to buy
things without considering the cost!
"Thalia used to be frugal with her money when she made purchases. She had to consider a number of issues that
regular people worry about before making the purchase, including whether it was worthwhile and if she still had
enough money for living expenses.
"At the third store, Thalia learned to be smart. Instead of packing and taking the items away, she had the items
delivered to her aunt's villa, where she now resided.
"Now, Thalia walked with her head held high. When she observed a woman who was not even remotely well-
groomed, she felt superior.
Thalia thought, 'Although I'm wearing cheap clothes now, Winona is generous! She boughttwo sets of
clothes, two purses, two bottles of perfwith different smells, sskincare products, and a new mobile
phone.' She had never had these nice things.
Winona was a little tired, and she had almost bought everything she needed.
Therefore, she went to a dessert shop with Thalia.
Winona sat inside the store as she was worried about getting sick because | was breezy outside.
She ordered a dessert and a juice. The waitress asked Thalia what she wanted, and Thalia said, "The sas
hers!"
With the heating on, Winona got a little hot. She took off her shawl and said, "I need to go to the bathroom.
Please keep an eye on my purse."
"Okay!" Thalia replied sweetly.
Thalia had never cto this dessert shop and bought anything before. She only glanced inside when she
occasionally passed by in the past. It felt different sitting inside now. She felt that people passing by watched
her. Now she was the one sitting inside. When Winona cback, she saw Thalia drinking juice. Winona had
seen the changes in Thalia along the way, and even her temperament had changed.
Winona walked over and drank the juice for a while. She exchanged her thoughts with Thalia today and said to
her in a cordial tone that had never been used before, "Thalia, do you like shopping at will?"
Thalia nodded without hesitation.
"Do you want to live this way from now on? You can buy anything you like without worrying about whether the
balance on your card is enough?" Winona offered her an olive branch.
"What do you mean, Winona?" Thalia asked although she had guessed the answer.
"I can tell you how you can continue living this life in the future if you're interested." Winona looked at Thalia,
who was eating dessert.
She knew very well about Thalia's
family background. Thalia's mother died when she was a kid, and her father was one of those people who
indulged in personal pleasure. He would tet Thalia go hungry for a day, but he would never stop enjoying his life.
Raising Thalia was probably because he wanted to have
someone to take care of him when he got old.
Winona's family was rich. Every year, Salvatore Group gave Thalia and her father a small dividend. But no matter
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhow rich she was, Winona didn't like to waste it on people who couldn't be of any help to her. And Winona was
used to feeling O superior. She couldn't accept that someone who had been inferior to
her would becbetter than her.
When she was happy, Winona
enjoyed giving things away to Thalia.
And today she was willing to buy
things for Thalia. She liked the sense of superiority. But she didn't like it if
Thalia suddenly becrich
for her to afford to buy luxurious
products, just like herself
However, it was different now! Winona didn't mind all this because she wanted Thalia to do something for her.
"Tellabout it." Thalia was thrilled to hear that Winona had a way to make her live such a superior life.
"You know Carlos, right?" Winona asked.
Mikayla's husband?"" Thalia asked. How could she not know him? Her friends had designs on Carlos when she
just returned to Xosa.
He was like a charming prince in the eyes of countless girls!
He was handsome, rich, and powerful! A man of his caliber could be described with any adjective that one cared
to use.
On his wedding day, although Thalia didn't attend, she watched the video of their wedding repeatedly,
fantasizing that one day she would have a similar wedding. She even received a rose, which she put in a vase
until it withered. Thalia wondered why Winona mentioned him.
