Professor McKenzie and I have a mutual understanding. What does that have to do with
you? Lauren eyed Megan from head to toe and went on. Look at your outfit.
It can't have cost more than $60, right? And yet you're still acting like you can buy
cosmetics here? Look at the prices. Are you even fit to be here? She didn't bother
lowering her voice, and people began to look over. They all shook their heads slightly
when they saw Megan and Fran at the fancy makeup counter.
Even the salesperson laughed coldly. Megan's face turned red, and she said, I'm not fit to
be here. Then what makes you fit to be here? A student who doesn't study and only
thinks about attracting men? You're a shrew.
Megan had always been fierce. Her words made Lauren's face turn green from anger.
Even Professor McKenzie frowned.
Lauren gritted her teeth and sneered. So what? So what if your grades are good? I'm
richer than you. The cosmetics I use are better than yours.
My clothes are better than yours. My phone is better than yours. And my boyfriend is
better.
I'm 100 times more popular than you. Get out of my way. My boyfriend is going to buy
me gifts.
You bitch. Megan was so angry that her face turned red. Fran clenched her fists and
lowered her head, shocked by Lauren's words.
When Professor McKenzie saw this, he went over to her and said, Fran, I'm close to
Lauren, but it isn't what you think. You're all my students. Can you give me a chance to
explain? I can buy a gift for you, too.
OK, we can get a coffee together later. Before Fran could say anything, the professor
was pushed away by Megan. You scumbag, don't touch her.
Fran looked up at him and said with teary eyes, Professor McKenzie, you used to send
me messages every night. I thought it was for my studies. But after the news about you
and Lauren spread, I knew you had other motives.
I never liked you. Please don't harass me anymore. Professor McKenzie's expression
changed as he fell silent.
Keith, meanwhile, was holding two limited edition iPhones. Seeing a group of people
where his sister had been, he hurried over. Squeezing through the crowd, he saw that
little sister and Fran were fine, and he relaxed slightly.
He didn't know what was going on, so he smiled and passed the phones to the girls. One
for each of you. The awkward atmosphere was suddenly broken as the crowd stared at
the newcomer.
Where had this young man come from? Megan angrily took a phone and stuffed the
other one into Fran's arms, but her eyes were still angrily looking at the two people in
front of her. Huh? Keith frowned. Before he could ask anything, Lauren sneered.
And who's this? You said you were a good student, and I was just living off guys' money,
but it seems like you have a special friend of your own. Who's the shrew now? What are
you talking about? Keith looked at the young woman and frowned. I'm Megan's brother.
Fran grew up with us. Is there a problem with buying them a phone? Is that so? Lauren
sneered. So, you're the famous Keith that Fran always talks about.
I heard that you work for the police, but somehow you have the money to buy two brand
new phones? Are they knockoffs? Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they
revealed suspicious looks. After all, Keith was dressed very plainly. No matter how they
looked at it, he didn't look like someone who could afford to buy two limited-edition iPhones.
Keith looked at this Lauren indifferently, as if he was looking at an ant. If an ant bared its
teeth at a person, could the person shout at the ant? Retracting his gaze calmly, he
smiled and said to Megan, Didn't you say you wanted to buy some new makeup? Have
you picked some out yet? Megan snorted and said, No, these two have been annoying
me. Let's go somewhere else.
Are you really annoyed by us? Lauren said. Or do you just not have the money to buy
anything? She laughed coldly. Poor is poor.
Do you really think you'll look rich by using a fake phone? Hurry up and leave. Don't
embarrass yourself anymore. Megan was so angry that her teeth hurt.
She stomped her foot and pulled Keith to leave. But Keith stopped her. As an older
brother, how could he let his sister be bullied like this? He looked coldly at Lauren and
said, But we're already here.
Wouldn't changing locations be a waste of time? Keith glanced at the makeup counter
and said lightly, How much is the ultra-deluxe gift set? His voice was calm and majestic.
The salesperson answered almost instinctively, $800 per set? The other shoppers
covered their mouths when they heard this as if they had a premonition that something
big was about to happen. Keith nodded and turned to Megan.
Hey, sis, how long would one set last you? Megan counted with her fingers and said, If
you use it every day, you'd need a new one in about three months. Keith nodded and
looked at the salesperson. He said casually, I'll take ten sets.
Ten sets? Everyone felt their hearts tremble. They couldn't believe their ears. Ten sets
would be $8,000.
Had this guy gone crazy? The salesperson was stunned, and he opened his mouth as if
he'd forgotten how to breathe. Lauren and Professor McKenzie were also stunned. Their
faces were filled with disbelief.
Recovering from her shock, Lauren sneered, Your family doesn't even have $800, never
mind $8,000. Before she finished speaking, someone suddenly ran over. It was the
doorman from earlier.
When he saw Keith, he let out a sigh of relief and said, Sir, please, could you move your
BMW a little? We have a delivery truck outside. BMW? The others were even more
dumbfounded. Lauren's eyes were about to pop out of her head.
She said with difficulty, You're saying that this person has a BMW? The doorman nodded
strangely and said, That's right. It's a top-of-the-line I8 sports model. I won't forget that in a hurry.
The sounds of gasping came from the crowd. How could someone who drove a BMW I8
not afford some makeup? It could probably afford to buy the entire counter. Megan
looked at Lauren proudly and snorted, What are you looking at? Do you think my family's
BMW is a knockoff too? Are you satisfied? Keith didn't even bother to look at Lauren's
expression.
He looked at the salesperson and said, So can I buy these gift sets? If not, I'll head out.
The salesperson quickly said, Just a moment, sir. I'll go and get those for you right now.
After the band left, the crowd came back to their senses and looked at the three of them
with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Lauren's face was pale and she looked at Keith with a
complicated expression. You've shattered Lauren's wish of mocking Megan.
Attribute point plus one. You've fulfilled Megan and Fran's wish of buying cosmetics.
Wish value plus one.
You've fulfilled the salesperson's wish to make a big sale. Wish value plus one. Current
progress, 13 of 10.
When Keith saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up. He suddenly realized that Fran
hadn't said anything yet and her eyes were slightly red. He was surprised and said, Fran,
what happened? Fran wiped away her tears and gently shook her head.
Megan pulled her friend behind her and looked at Professor McKenzie hatefully. You're
trash. I'm warning you.
If you dare harass Fran again, I'll put the message you sent Fran online. I'll teach you a
lesson. Professor McKenzie's expression turned ugly.
He wanted to say something, but when he saw Keith looking at him, his heart sank. After
hesitating for a moment, he lightly snorted and said, Megan, you and Fran are both my
students. Taking care of students is what teachers should do.
Remember that you still have a semester left at school. I wouldn't want you to make it
hard on yourself. You jerk, Megan said angrily.
You're threatening me. Professor McKenzie sneered and looked at Fran. Fran, I did send
you some words of concern previously, but that was only out of the friendship between a
teacher and his student.
I hope you don't misunderstand it or spread rumors. Otherwise, no matter how rich this
Mr. Sanderburg is, the school would have to take care of it. That's all.
You guys take care of yourselves. He pulled the dazed Lauren towards the exit, but before they could leave, a voice came from behind him. Professor, please wait a
moment, Keith calmly said.
