Beltran’s Company, in the office.
Lidia smiled and sent Gaston away who came to ask about the situation and poured a glass of water for Peter.
“Lidia, are you okay?”
Lidia smiled and said, “I’m fine.”
Lidia had already vented all her grievances when she met Jeffry yesterday, so meeting him again would not make her feel bad.!!
“Thank you, Peter.”
“Maybe you can call me more intimately?” Peter said with a smile.
“Pete?” Lidia pursed her lips and called out this nickname.
It was a slightly more intimate name that was not out of the ordinary, but still Peter was a little happier. “Can I invite you on a date this afternoon? Just as a celebration.”
Lidia was puzzled as she asked, “Celebration?”
“How about shopping? You must have never been to the mall here.“}
“Of course you can, if you’re not afraid of going broke.“}]
Peter chuckled and said, “It’s only natural to spend money on my wife. So, I’m happy to spend money on you.”
In the afternoon, after finishing work, Lidia followed Peter to the largest local shopping mall.
It was really huge and the glass curtain wall shone in the sunlight.
Lidia had never seen such a large shopping mall before, so he took her hand and walked in.
“Lidia, forget your worries and enjoy shopping.”
Lidia was dazzled by the luxurious decorations in the mall. There were many luxury brand stores in the spacious space.
“Just buy whatever you like.”
She went shopping in the mall hand in hand with him.”
There were not many people in the mall.
Lidia walked into a clothing store where the models were wearing many beautiful dresses.
Peter received a message and said apologetically, [Lidia, I have to go out for an hour, is that okay?]}
[It’s okay, you go ahead and do your work, I can do it alone.]
After Peter’s figure disappeared, Lidia turned her attention back to these beautiful dresses.
One of the dark green ankle–length skirts caught her attention. The dark green color was very bright and the fabric felt smooth and thick.
There was a special picture strung together with millet beads on it and she was attracted by it at first sight.
“Oh, my sister has made a fortune abroad and can even afford this brand of clothes?“{
Lidia was about to reach out to take it when a familiar voice came from behind her.
She turned around and saw Pamela, with delicate makeup on her face, looking at her with malice.
She ignored the blonde salesgirl next to her and walked over to Lidia in her high heels.
“Lidia, you are more resourceful than I thought. You dare to use running away from marriage to attract Jeffry’s attention.
“Do you know how badly you hurt Jeffry? Hopkins almost went bankrupt and it was me who stayed by his side and never left him.
“So, what if he comes to you now? He is only doing it for the sake of responsibility and for the Hopkins Group.”
Lidia’s face was cold as she responded, “Oh, so what? It has nothing to do with me.“}
“Yes, you went abroad and hooked up with a rich man, right? But I’m afraid you can’t afford this dress, so don’t pretend here, it’s embarrassing.”
Lidia remained calm and did not argue with her. She asked the salesperson to take the dress down for her to try.
Pamela held onto the skirt and refused to let go. “I like this skirt, too.”}
Lidia was too lazy to compete with her, so she picked out three other skirts in the store.
But at the checkout counter, Pamela slapped her clothes.
“Pack these up for me and I’ll pay for them right away.”
In order to avoid being rejected by the shopping guide, Pamela spoke first.
She waved her bank card in front of Lidia as she spoke, “You probably haven’t seen so much money in all these years, right? My parents and Jeffry love me so much, I can’t spend all this money.“>
Lidia knew very well that Pamela just wanted to steal her things and felt that this shopping trip was really terrible.
“It doesn’t matter, you can have it all.“}]
She bought it because of her mood. But that time, she was not in the mood, so no matter how much she liked the skirt, it seemed just average.

The shopping guide checked out the skirts one by one, put them in her pocket and gave them to her along with the receipt. “Welcome to visit us next time, Miss.”
Pamela felt a pang of heartache when she saw the price on the receipt. She just wanted to disgust Lidia on purpose, but she did not expect to spend such a large sum of money.
“Lidia, I hope you can find a richer man so that you can snatch these things from me.”
The next second, the sound of the money transfer arriving was particularly obvious.
[100,000 dollars has been transferred into your account.]
When Pamela heard it, she realized it was exactly the amount of money she had spent.
“Why did the money I spent go into your account? Lidia, what did you do?!“}
Lidia took out her mobile phone in a daze and was at a loss as to what to do when she saw the money arriving into her account. Why did she receive this remittance?
The shopping guide smiled and interrupted, “Miss, let me introduce you to this person, who is the big boss of the mall. All the profits of the mall will be transferred into her account.”
Pamela screamed, “How is this possible?!“}
It was estimated that it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build this shopp
