Chapter 826 - 826: I Can’t Afford It

Caitan Clifford saw James at first sight when James and Jessica came in, but when she heard her female friends commended James for his appearance, she felt unhappy, curling her lips and saying proudly, "That man? The man always follows Jessica. Is he handsome? He is a murder, so he went to B country. Both of them are murderers, so they're suited to a degree."

"Is it true? He looks very handsome. I can't believe he is a murderer," A woman said while she was staring at James, "All right. Did your sister kill Mamai?"

Caitan narrowed her eyes with anger, "She is not my elder sister. You shouldn't call her my elder sister; otherwise, I won't be your friend anymore."

The woman rolled her eyes and thought, "It seems that she does mind it."

A woman next to her bumped her arm gently and said, "Don't ask more. Didn't you hear about it? For resolving the conflict between the Websters and the Cliffords, the Cliffords gave them a large sum of money, and they were even on the brink of bankruptcy."

"Is it true? I just heard that the Cliffords aren't bankrupt."

"No, the Cliffords is bankrupt. If they have money, Caitan must buy the dress and that handbag. I knew she wants to get it. She even touched the bag again and again, but finally, she put it the back."

Although two women just discussed in a low voice. Caitan was sensitive and attentive and knew it.

Caitan felt embarrassed and shouted arrogantly, "I can afford it, but I think I will look older if I use it."

"Really? So, you can buy this dress," the woman pointed to that blue water dress.

Jessica just wanted to explain away, but these women didn't want to go easy on her. Caitan glanced at the price and then swallowed hard.

This skirt was worth a hundred thousand dollars. Caitan must buy it before without hesitation, but now little money left, and Mamai's family always brothers her family after Andrew died, and Jessica killed Mamai.

"James and Jessica, it is their fault. If James didn't kill grandpa and Jessica didn't kill Mamai, our family still enjoys a high status in A Country. And I wouldn't be so poor.

My mother and I tried to pretend nothing happened and keep our life decent so that people respect us, but Jessica and James live a free and good life. Why? Why should I bear everything when I am still a young girl? Jessica should bear it," thought Caitan while she kept staring at the dress.

All of a sudden, Caitan looked cunning. But when she turned to Jessica, she changed, smiling at Jessica and waving to her, "My elder sister. What a coincidence. You are here."

"It just happened. But Caitan should be in the A Country, how did she come here? Is there something wrong with our family?" thought Jessica.

Although Jessica's mother and Caitan didn't like her, Jessica still regarded them as her family members. She was worried about her family members.

Jessica remembered how Caitan bullied her, so she became careful. As soon as Caitan got close to her, she immediately stepped back but happened to bump James's strong chest muscle.

James narrowed his eyes, looking at Caitan, warning her not to get close. James knew Jessica didn't like to be with Mr. Caitan.

Caitan pouted and said, "My dear sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to tell you something about my family. Since you had left for so long, I guess you don't know what happened.

Jessica heard about it and became anxious. She then asked with great anxiety, "What happened?"

"His family came to brother us."

Jessica's face turned pale and froze suddenly. Caitan then added, "Since you killed Mamai, his family tried to find where you are, and my mother did help you."

When James heard it, he frowned and thought, "Did she kill Mamai? When did she kill him? I have never heard about that. She seemed to kill many people when I was not in A Country."

James believed that Jessica would kill Mamai when she was arrogant, but now Jessica changed. She became timid, and she was afraid that there were many people. "I can't believe such a person killed someone."

Caitan became guilty when she heard what Jessica said. Although she didn't mean to kill Mamai, his family members lived a hard life because of her. James said something about her family to her, but she didn't believe it.

Now, Caitan told her they lived a miserable life, and Jessica believed. She couldn't help but answer, "I'm sorry to let you suffer."

Caitan felt happy and thought, "She has never changed. She is still stupid and easy to believe others."

"We are family. Although there were some conflicts, we are still family," said Caitan.

Jessica touched and bit her lips without saying a word.

Caitan knew Jessica wasn't under caution anymore, so she walked over and held Jessica's arms, "Dear sister, what do you want to buy?"

Jessica wore a dazed expression while Caitan held her arms, walking into a shop.

"Do you want to buy clothes?"

Jessica looked unnatural when Caitan was so intimate, but she couldn't refuse and follow.

"Sister, how about that dress?" Caitan pointed to that blue dress.

"It is beautiful."

"I think so. It suits you fine," Caitan said while taking off the dress from the hanger.

"Miss. The dress…"

Caitan interrupted the shopper and said, "What's the matter with you. Can't I touch it?"

"Um… But…"

"What do you want to say? We can afford it. Is it true, sister?" Caitan said gently and sweetly.

Caitan had her plan. Otherwise, she wouldn't recommend that dress to Jessica.

Caitan wanted to make Jessica embarrassed. Her female friends just mocked her that she couldn't afford to buy that dress, so she wanted to ask Jessica to buy it.

"Look at them. I guess they can't afford it," thought Caitan. And then she gave that dress to Jessica and said, "Sister, Come on. Try it."
