Chapter 18: A Helping Hand
"Nope." Kevin’s tone was cold.
Seeing the change in his expression, Jessie hurriedly explained, "I’m sorry, I’m just a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?" He looked at her, a bit puzzled.
While most people would be eager to marry into a wealthy family, she was actually afraid of it?
Jessie sighed. "I just want to live a simple life, without getting caught up in anything complicated. But what my college classmate said made me feel uneasy."
Maybe she didn’t truly understand what rich people thought, perhaps they did sometimes enjoy coming to remote roads.
She didn’t dwell on that anymore, instead giving Kevin a chance to speak up.
"College classmate? Is it the one you met at the banquet last time? Why would he come to visit you?"
Jessie didn’t notice the probing tone in Kevin’s voice, truthfully recounting what had happened today.
After hearing her explanation, he realized he had misunderstood her. Moreover, the incident involving Lilian gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if he had heard of it before.
Jessie sighed, propping up her head and said, "I heard that suit probably costs at least one hundred thousand dollars, and I don’t know if Lilian can come up with that much money. I don’t have that much cash on hand to help her either."
Kevin didn’t say anything.
