Juliana took the advice and singly powered down her phone. However, Sylvia’s punishment anived soon enough.
When it came time to pay the bill, Juliana tumed het plume back en tose the payment code. An alert popped up. “Your bank card has been disabled. Please select another payment method.”
That when she temembered the payment card linked to her phone was a card Sylvia had insisted on setting up for her years ago. It was shortly after poliana resumed to the Larson family. And now, the card was frozen
Seraphina noticed the failed payment and glanced at Juliana’s phone. “What’s that about???
Juliana replied, “They cut me off.”
Seraphina’s mouth twitched. “All because of Wette? What kind of family does this?”
Hearing that the Larsons had frozen Juliana’s credit card made Seraphina feel sick to her stomach. How could such people exist, treating their biological daughter this way for the sake of an adopted one?
Judiana shrugged it off with a smile. “It’s not the first time.”
Seraphina simply reached for her phone and said, “I’ll get it.”
diana replied, “Don’t. I have money.”
Nonetheless, Seraphina had already paid.
After leaving the restaurant and getting in the car, Seraphina said, “Let me wire you to thousand dollars. Don’t let them intimidate you.”
Their own daughter couldn’t even spend lunch money without them pulling this crap? who were they trying to manipulate with these disgusting tactics?
Touched by Seraphina’s fierce loyalty, Juliana’s eyes softened.
“Really, I don’t dedit. I have money.”

Seraphina replied, “You don’t even have a job. Where’d y

juliana simple said. “I really do have money. La long story”
The money situation was indeed hard to explain. While she’d spent the past two years around Adrian, that didn’t mean she’d been entirely dependent on him or the
Larsons
Seraphina waved dismissively, “Fine, I get that you have money. But take the 20 grand anyway.”

Juliana repeated, “Really, I don’t need it!”

In any case, Seraphina simply couldn’t believe juliana had her own money. Left with no choice, juliana dragged Seraphina into the mall and proceeded to drop sta hundred chuusand dollars on shopping
Ultimately, she got Seraphina to believe her.

That was the only possibility Seraphina could think of–Adilan must have given juliana the card. Looking at the

Adrian would never give her his black card.
Seraphina then asked, “Then who on earth gave it to you?
It was not Adrian? but it was certally not from the Larsons either.
“Do you know any other bigwigs?“
Thinking of the card’s owner, a touch of softness closed juliana’s eyes still, she didn’t answer the question.
“Come on Let’s go!–
Without elaborating, she gathered up their shopping bags and left the mall with Seraphina.
After parting ways with Seraphina, Juliana headed straight back to Solvane Park, only to find Adrian blocking her entrance
