Chapter 1585
Hannah had money to burn and she displayed her wealth without hesitation. In a blink of an eye, Cornelia noticed several high-end handbags on the counter. Hannah was examining each bag, then tossing each onto the counter, saying, “I’ll take this one, and this one, and this one…”
Within moments, she had spent a small fortune.
Cornelia, on the other hand, had to work hard for every penny she had. Even though she was now the wife of the CEO of the Artis Group, and Jeremy had transferred much of his wealth to her, she couldn’t change the frugal habits she had grown up with.
Every single penny in her pocket had to be spent wisely, and she hated wasteful spending.
Hannah and Cornelia couldn’t have been more different. After Hannah made a name for herself in Hollywood, the money came pouring in, especially in the first couple of years when the industry was booming. She could earn millions from a single movie role. In just a few years, she had accumulated a fortune that most people could only dream of.
Given Hannah’s career, she had to sport designer clothes and accessories to maintain her image in the industry, otherwise, she risked losing endorsements and even being attacked by competitors.
Though there were few actresses who could compete with her during her peak years, she couldn’t afford to be complacent.e2
“Ms. Hannah?” the cashier asked, studying Hannah, “Are you the actress Hannah?”
Hannah, having gained some weight since her last public appearance and wearing a pair of oversized black-rimmed glasses, looked quite different from her usual glamorous self. Most people wouldn’t recognize her.
“You’re not the first person to say I look like Hannah, but I think I look better than her,” Hannah joked, “Look at how skinny she is. She doesn’t have my curves.”
The cashier laughed awkwardly, “My apologies for the mix-up.”
Turning to Cornelia, she asked, “Ma’am, is there a bag you’re interested in?”
Cornelia shook her head, “I don’t need one.”
Hannah interjected, ‘These are the new spring collections. I want two of each, one for me and one for you.”
Cornelia protested, “Don’t buy so many bags. Just get one you like. I don’t go out much, so I won’t be able to use it.”
She was genuinely concerned. Money wasn’t meant to be spent like this.
Hannah raised an eyebrow, a hint of dominance in her voice, “I’m not asking for your opinion. It’s a gift. Just accept it.”
Cornelia laughed, “You sound like one of those domineering CEOs in romance novels.”
Hannah wrapped an arm around Cornelia, “So, have you fallen for me yet?”
Cornelia chuckled, “I wouldn’t dare. I’m afraid of getting hit.”
Hannah retorted, “Steve wouldn’t dare!”
Cornelia replied, “I meant my husband, Jeremy.”
Jeremy was a great guy who was willing to compromise on most things, but he was extremely possessive towards Cornelia, even competing with Hope for her attention at times.
Hannah complained, “That’s so boring. You’re showing off your relationship again.”
Cornelia suggested, “Let’s move on to the next store.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Hannahr agreed, “Sure!”
However, they hadn’t been shopping long before Hannah’s agent started calling non-stop. At first, Hannah ignored the calls and even turned her phone on silent. It wasn’t until she was about to pay for her purchases that she noticed her agent had called over thirty times.
With so many calls, it must be something urgent. Hannah finally decided to return the call. As soon as the call connected, her agent sighed, “Thank heavens, I finally got a hold of you.”
