Chapter 844

Lucinda said the words, but inside she was completely unimpressed with Caspian. She used to think he had some backbone, but now it was obvious he just crumbled in front of Connor. If it had been Connor, he would have already paid and had everything packed up without batting an eye. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got.
Caspian scrambled for an explanation. “Lucinda, I just don’t have that much cash on me right now, so I need to borrow a little. But seriously, I still have plenty
“Caspian, just let it go,” Breanna jumped in, not missing the chance to push things along. “Lucinda said she doesn’t want them. She has enough of this stuff. Don’t waste your energy.”
That was the last straw for Lucinda. She spun around and marched off, too angry to say another word.
Caspian shot Breanna a furious look. “Why did you do that? Do you know how long I’ve waited for today?”
Breanna looked at him like he was hopeless. “She’s not the one for you. There are so many great girls out there.”
He protested, “I already gave them my card. Just pay for it. I’m going after her.” Without waiting for a reply, Caspian rushed off to chase Lucinda.
Breanna was seething. “Unbelievable! You could find anyone, and you’re stuck on some spoiled princess? Are you out of your mind?”
Just then, the store manager came over. “Miss, about the bill
Breanna let out a cold laugh. “My brother might be a fool, but do I look like I am?”
The manager fell quiet. Paying four times the price for things worth billions was ridiculous. This was a store with marked prices, not an auction.
Lydia watched the whole mess, totally bored. She turned to Connor. “Let’s get out of here.”
Connor looked at her. “Are you sure you don’t want them?”
“Too much money, not enough brains. Come on.”
Once Connor and Lydia left, Breanna asked the manager for Caspian’s card. The manager hesitated, then explained, “Miss, the couple who just left actually wanted to bu everything. Your brother barged in offering double, trying to outbid
them. They went to triple he jumped to four times. He completely messed up our sale.”
Breanna rolled her eyes, ready to explode. Her brother was hopeless.
“Enough. Don’t talk to me about double or triple. They were just joking. Since
nobody wants it, just wrap it up and ring it at the actual price.”
The manager nodded quickly, relieved. “Of course, Miss. We’ll ring everything up at the listed price and get it packed for you.”
Caspian’s card had two billion on it.
Now, more than one and a half ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ.net
billion was gone in a flash. Breanna
was so mad she couldn’t even
speak. He just blew that much
money on a girl. He had to be crazy.
Meanwhile, Caspian was running after Lucinda, terrified she’d never talk to him again.
“Lucinda, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let my sister get involved. No matter what anyone else thinks, you’re the most beautiful, kindest girl I know.”
Lucinda let out a cold laugh. “Your sister clearly looks down on me. Let’s just end it before we both get more miserable.”
“Don’t say that, Lucinda. I’m really sorry. I already had her pay for everything. She’ll bring the gifts over soon.”
Lucinda paused, then turned to look at him. “Caspian, I already have tons of things like that at home. If your sister thinks I’m some gold digger, just return it all.”
“No, that’s not it. She’s just… single and bitter, honestly. She doesn’t get it. Don’t take it to heart. Please wait right here. I’ll go grab the gifts.”
Worried Lucinda would walk away, Caspian hurried back to Breanna Without saying a word, he took all the shopping Bags from her hands; then finally said, “Breanna, come with me to apologize to Lucinda.”
