Chapter 202: Poor People
Mrs. Wilson, who had been woken up early in the morning by Maria and was forced to stay here to help her choose her clothes, yawned. She frowned in disapproval at Maria’s request.
“Maria, have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?”
Maria subconsciously wanted to retort, but since there were still maids around, she had to shut her mouth in embarrassment.
She did not want these low-class maids to know that her family went bankrupt.
Maria walked up to Mrs. Wilson and said aggrievedly, “But Mother, I need help. If you don’t help me, how can I dress up beautifully? If I don’t look beautiful, how can I get Master Aren to look at me?”
Mrs. Wilson looked at Maria. Although she didn’t want to admit it, Maria indeed didn’t look as pretty as Jocelyn.
But what could she do?
Mr. Wilson had not given her money yet. In her bank account, there was only 100,000 USD now, which she needed for daily expenses.
Moreover, there was no way you could get a top-notch designer with 100,000 USD. It was only enough to hire some cheap designers.lf the word got out that the Wilsom family hired cheap designers, they would be a laughing stock in the upper-class circle..
It had been many years since Mrs. Wilson had been distressed over money. She shooed all the maids out of the room.
“Maria, I know you are troubled, but we don’t have any money to spend now. If you trust me, let me help you with your styling today.” Mrs. Wilson tried to soften her voice to appease Maria.
She did not want to hear Maria shouting or see her smashing things.
The small objects that Mrs. Wilson didn’t care about in the past became more and more valuable as the money in the card decreased.
“Don’t you have a single cent left?” Maria looked at Mrs. Wilson suspiciously.
Seeing that Maria didn’t believe her, Mrs. Wilson’s expression darkened. “I’m your mother. Do you think I’ll lie to you about this?”
“I want you to marry a rich young master more than anyone else. How can you doubt my love for you? Maria, you really hurt me.”
Mrs. Wilson held her chest as her eyes turned red, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.
The sad look on Mrs. Wilson’s face dispel Maria’s doubts.
Even if she was still unhappy, she had no choice but to let Mrs. Wilson be her stylist.
“I was wrong, Mother. Please forgive me. I know I shouldn’t have doubted your love for me.”
“But it’s getting late. Please help me, my dear mother. VVhen I marry into the Brown family, I’ll definitely buy a large castle and a manor filled with roses for you. I’ll also buy the world’s most expensive jewelry for you, okay?”
The future that Maria described and the way she shook Mrs. Wilson’s arm made Mrs. Wilson smile. She pinched Maria’s nose and her tone became softer.
“I don’t want these things. After marrying Aren, you just need to get Aren to help your father with business. Whatever I want to buy, your father will naturally buy it for me.”
“And you, you just have to infatuate Aren with your beauty and live a happy life as a rich lady.”
“Alright, let’s not waste time. Let me choose a beautiful dress for you and help you put on makeup.”‘
Eventually, Mrs. Wilson chose a yellow dress for Maria. The soft and tight design accentuated Maria’s shape, but Mrs. Wilson was so satisfied.
“What’s wrong, Mother? Do I look bad in this dress?” Maria looked at Mrs. Wilson and asked.
“No, there’s something missing.”
Mrs. Wilson shook her head, then fixed her gaze on Maria’s waist..
