Chapter 119

"Hehe…You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hummer is a

noble lady. She doesn't need gems or jewelry. If you truly want to

impress her, you should give her a one–of–a–kind gift. Luminlanth Root

has the ability to retain one's beauty. No woman could ever resist it. I

believe that Miss Hummer would like it!" Julie uttered confidently.

"You're not wrong, but this Luminianth Root costs a fortune, right?"

Florence asked. "Of course! This is an extremely rare item. You won't be

able to buy it without three to five million dollars." Julie nodded.

"What! It's that expensive?" Florence was shocked. "Julie, do you even

have that much money?" "Of course, I don't. But you do! So, lend me a few

million dollars, I'll return it to you next time." Julie requested

without hesitation. Her words stunned Florence. Dahlia and James also

frowned at her words. This cousin of theirs would always borrow money

every time she visits. Last year she "borrowed" a Mercedez–Benz from them

for two days. Until now, she still hadn't returned the car. It seemed

like they will not be getting it back. If they gave her a few million

dollars now, there would definitely be no return as well. "Julie, it's

not that I don't want to lend you the money. A few million dollars is

really too much." After thinking for some time, Florence still refused.

"Aunt Florence, your family owns a business! There's no way you don't

have that kind of money. Or is it that you guys don't want to lend me the

money?" Julie was getting upset. "No, I really don't have that much

money." Florence laughed awkwardly. "If you don't, then Dahlia should

have that money, right? She's the president of Quine Group! I don't

believe for a second that she doesn't have a few million dollars to

spare!" Julle turned to Dahlia as she uttered those words. "The company's

finances are a bit tight at the moment. Every penny counts. I wouldn't

recommend spending the money on such birthday gifts." Dahlia shook her

head lightly. If it was an emergency, she would definitely spend money

without hesitation. But for her situation, she really could not help her

even if she wanted to. "Dahlia! You can't be that stingy? It's just a few

million dollars! It's not like I wouldn't return it to you!" Julie

crossed her arms and said confidently. "After I send Miss Hummer this

gift, I'll become her friend. Then, I'll get a high–

rank position in Hummer Pharmaceuticals. I'll be earning a few million

dollars every year, easy peasy!" "Julie, you must not get ahead of

yourself. It's not that easy to get into Hummer Pharmaceuticals. Never

mind a high–rank position, with your experience, it would be best for you

to get some training in my company." Dahlia tried to reason with her

calmly. "Dahlia, let me get straight to the point. I'm a valuable

graduate of the Ivy League. Everyone wants me. A small company like Quine

Group is not worth my time." Julie mocked. Dahlia was speechless at her

remarks. This cousin of hers was a classic narcissist. No experience and

no skill, and yet she still dreamed about becoming a rich supervisor. She

looked down on almost everyone, and yet she doesn't even have the basics

down. "Alright! Back to the point! Are you lending me the money or not?"

Julie's arms were still crossed in front of her body arrogantly. She

really had no shame as the one who was borrowing money. "No!" James

answered. "Fine! Today I finally get to see what kind of people you guys

really are! Relatives, my ass! You all just abandoned me when I'm in

need. Tomorrow, I will make you pay!" With that, Julie turned around and

stomped away.
