Aviana looked unreasonable.
Her demeanor made Riya frown, her face darkening.
“Sis, I know you have money. This concerns your brother’s marriage. You should consider it!”
“Nowadays, women aren’t worried about getting married. Who isn’t a princess in their own home? Why should I marry into your family and suffer? Does that make sense?”
“It makes sense,” Riya said calmly.
A hint of joy appeared on Aviana’s face, but before she could continue, Devon interrupted angrily. “Enough!”
“Aviana, have you had enough? You may not care about your reputation, but I do!”
“I know I’m poor! But when have I ever mistreated you?”
“Now you come to my sister and say these things. Have you considered my feelings? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
“I’m fighting for my happiness. What’s there to be ashamed of? If you weren’t so useless, would I need to lower myself like this?”
“Devon, it’s your own incompetence. Now you’re blaming me?”
“Look at the younger generation today. Without a house, without tens of thousands in savings, without a decent car, do they deserve a girlfriend?”
“I’ve been with you for so long and suffered so much. Don’t you feel any pity?”
“You have no conscience!”
“I must have been blind to fall for a loser like you!”
Devon laughed angrily. “Fine! Suffering, huh? Aviana, you’re something else!”
“I earn $10, 000 a month and give it all to you. That’s over $100, 000 a year!”
“Plus my previous savings, there should be nearly $200, 000 in the account, right?”
“But how much is left now?”
“Just a few bucks!”
“You spent it all!”
“You complain I don’t have a house or a car, that I’m poor and useless!”
“Didn’t you spend all that money?”
Aviana was speechless but stubbornly said, “Is $200, 000 a lot? If you had any ability, you wouldn’t have only saved $200, 000! It’s not even enough for a few bags and some makeup!”
“Do you know how much my bags and makeup cost?”
Devon laughed bitterly, his anger fully ignited. “No matter how much it costs, I bought it! With my money! Is that your ability?”
“If I’m useless, what are you? A parasite?”
“You call me incompetent and useless. What about you? Can you support yourself on your $4, 000 salary?”
“Look at your fancy clothes. Which one did you buy with your own money?”
“Aviana, have some shame.”
Aviana’s face changed unpredictably. “Women just need to look good in this world. Making money is a man’s job! If we women had money, why would we need men?”
She looked self-righteous.
Charlotte couldn’t hold back anymore and said slowly, “Although I’m an outsider, I have to say something fair.”
“First, we women can support ourselves. We don’t need to be parasites harming others.”
“You can only represent yourself. Don’t represent us women; we won’t take the blame.”
“Second, your monthly income isn’t even half of his, and you’re not particularly attractive. How dare you make so many demands?”
“When setting a price, don’t you weigh your own worth? This way, there’s no market competitiveness.”
“After all, only fools buy low-quality goods at high prices. But how many fools are there in the world?”
“You-”
Aviana was furious. “What did you say? Who are you calling low-quality? You bitch, I’ll tear your filthy mouth apart!”
Charlotte said coldly, “You’re just a shrew.”
Having such a woman is truly a man’s misfortune!
“You want to die!” Aviana’s eyes widened in rage as she charged at Charlotte, raising her hand to slap her face!
