Davina grinned and pulled a card from her purse. She handed it to the salesgirl and said, TII take it."

The moment the salesgirl caught sight of the gleaming card, her eyes lit up. Her tone became instantly warmer-polite to the point of reverence. "Of course, I'll take care of it right away."

Stella's face darkened immediately. She refused to believe Davina had money. "Davina, quit pretending. There's no way you actually have money."

Even the twins looked puzzled as they glanced at the card.

"Where did you get that kind of money?" Cassia asked, his tone icy with suspicion.

Ashen's voice rose, clearly furious. "Are you crazy? Why do you have to fight Stella over everything? Can't you see she saw that bag first?"

Davina gave a casual laugh. "What I choose to buy is none of your business. Who are you to me? Just because you're broke doesn't mean I can't spend my own money."

The twins were momentarily stunned-speechless.

If she really was a Summers, well... they'd never once acknowledged her as

s their sister.

The salesgirl didn't care about the drama. Her job was simple. Whoever paid first got the goods.

"Ms. Summer," she said, turning to Stella with a polite smile, "you were the first to pick this out. If you'd like to purchase it now, it's yours. But if not, I'll sell it to this young lady."

That remark hit Stella like a slap.

Imanheiress! Is thiswomanimplying / couldn'taffordit?

"Why would you think I'm not buying it?" Stella snapped. "We all know who's pretending here

She looked at her brothers with wide, pleading eyes-an innocent expression designed to tug at their hearts. With her doll-like features, it was a look that could melt anyone.

"Cassia! Ashen! Please

Davina just smiled coldly.

She knew they didn't have the money for it.

The bag wasn't cheap. The twins were still in school, surviving off allowances.

And with Stella constantly begging them to buy her things, they never had much left.

Their expressions shifted-clearly torn.

Cassia sighed and advised, "Stella, maybe you can get it next time."

Ashen added, "Yeah, my allowance is all gone. I'll scrape something together next month, okay?"

Stella's expression soured even further.

Davina turned to the salesgirl, who caught on quickly and swiped the card without hesitation.

She then pointed to a few more items casually. "That one too. And that one. I'll get them all."

"Right away, miss the salesgirl beamed.noveldrama

Stella, who had been so sure of herself just moments ago, looked like someone had slapped her across the face several times.

The twins exchanged a glance.

"Davina, where are you getting this money? Cassia asked again, his tone low and accusing. “You didn't do anything shady, did

you

Ashen looked stunned. "Wait, you seriously have money? From where?"

Just then, the transaction went through, and the salesgirl came back with all the bags neatly packed.

Right on cue, Percy walked into the e store. "Ms. Davina, is everything all set?"

Davina smiled and said, "Yep. Though I did run into a few mutts. Real barky ones."

Ashen's face flushed with anger. He took a step forward, ready to get physical. "What did haven't you? Don't forget-I'm your brother!"

u say?! You've lost your mind,

But Percy was faster. With a single move, he grabbed Ashen's arm and locked it

in place, rendering him completely immobile.

Let me go!" Ashen shouted, struggling

Davina looked him square in the eye and asked coldly, "Brother? I don't remember having one. I'm an orphan, got it? The family tree begins and ends with me. And honestly, with the way your genes are acting. I'd suggest a full medical checkup."

The twins were wordless.

Stella stared at Percy, then at Davina, disbelief all over her face. "Wait... you're being kept? That's how it? Davina, how could you fall this low? Do you have any idea how disappointed Mom and Dad would be if they knew?!"

you have money, isn't Percy was about to defend her, but Davina raised a hand to stop him.

"Then run home and tell them," she said coolly. "Tell them their precious heiress can't even afford a handbag-while the girl they threw away is out here being kept and still doing better?

Stella's eyes welled with angry tears. "You you're shameless-t

Davina gave Percy a look, and he immediately stepped forward to collect the shopping bags.

She shot them one last look and started to leave. But at the door, she suddenly paused-like something had just come to mind

Davina turned around, walked right up to Stella, and-Smack!

A crisp slap landed on Stella's face.
