She changed the subject, pointing at the evening dress and looking at the staff member.
“Is it for sale?”
The staff member looked a bit troubled.
“It is for sale, but…”
She glanced at Claudine and her mother.
“Ladies, you saw it first. Would you like to buy it?”
“Of course!”
Bridgette spoke up first.
She looked at her daughter.
“Claudy, Mom really likes this!”
Claudine knew her mother’s “princess” temperament and could only indulge her.
“You like it? Then I’ll buy it for you!”
She opened her wallet and saw the card Damian had given her.
She had never used this card before.
Thinking of how that man left her mother at the Barrette Group front desk while letting his new lover stride into his office so brazenly.
Claudine felt that this evening dress should be bought with his money!
It was as if she was making Damian apologize to her mother on his behalf!
Claudine handed the black card to the staff member.
Everyone present recognized that card,
It was reserved for the top VIPs of the Barrette Group bank!
A flash of resentment appeared in Audrey’s eyes.
She had to make Damian divorce this woman as soon as possible!
Even though she knew Damian didn’t love her, seeing Claudine flaunt the title of “Mrs. Barrette” in public made her

unwilling to accept it!
It wasn’t long before the staff member returned
“Ma’am, your card has been frozen!”
Claudine looked at the black card handed back to her, and for a moment, she was so angry she laughed!
Ha!
He actually froze this card!
Damian, you really are a top businessman!
He must have remembered this card while dividing his assets and froze it.
Meanwhile, Audrey, who had just been disappointed, suddenly perked up.
She spoke up.
“Ms. Hogan, since that’s the case, I’ll buy this evening dress first.”
With that, she handed the staff a black card identical to Claudine’s
This card was also given to her by Damian!
Claudine stared at the card in Audrey’s hand, her brows furrowing
This card, there are no more than three in all of Bronzevale.
Who exactly is Audrey’s ex–husband?
It was her own fault; although she had lived in Bronzevale for years, she rarely participated in the social circles of the city’s elite, so she wasn’t very familiar with these people.
Otherwise, she would at least know who that unfortunate girl was.
Audrey’s eyes could not hide her pride.
Only she knew in her heart that what she had won today was not just an evening dress, but also Damian’s heart!
“Wait a moment!”
Bridgette, who had been silent on the side, called out to the staff.
“Charge it to my card!”
Bridgette directly pushed Audrey’s hand aside and placed her own card into the staff’s hand.
Although she didn’t know why Claudy’s card had been frozen, nor why this Ms. Lavigne had been so smug just now, her woman’s intuition told her that Ms. Lavigne was not a good person!
Even if her daughter’s card was frozen, so what? She still had her mother!

Claudine knew perfectly well that her mother was protecting her.
She took the card from the staff’s hand and handed it back to her mother.
“I took the wrong card!”
She took out another card from her bag.
“Charge this one!”
Audrey spoke up from the side.
“Ms. Hogan, you’d better check if there’s enough money on your card. Otherwise, if it doesn’t go through again, it’ll be embarrassing.”
Her words were harsh, and Bridgette was about to retort in anger when Claudine stopped her mother.
She ignored Audrey and spoke only to the staff.
“Settle the bill!”
Audrey’s smile could no longer be maintained.
Even as the staff returned, Audrey still clung to a sliver of hope, wishing Claudine’s card would fail again!
“Congratulations, ma’am, this evening dress is yours!”
The staff handed the card back to Claudine. “Please wait a moment, I’ll go package it for you.”
Audrey looked at Claudine, who bought a million–dollar evening dress without a second thought, and couldn’t help but feel jealous!
She still believed that Claudine was spending Damian’s money.
Or rather, her daughter’s, Darla’s, money!
Thinking of this, Audrey couldn’t help but speak up.
“Ms. Hogan, you really are generous! But with such a big expense, shouldn’t you ask your husband first?”
Claudine had been about to leave with her mother, but turned around when she heard this.
“How do you know I’m married?”
Only then did Audrey realize she had spoken too much in her haste.
She quickly thought of an excuse and pointed to Claudine’s right hand
“I just saw the mark of a ring on your ring finger, so I guessed you might be married. Or… are you divorced?”
Claudine frowned
