After My Husband Tried To Kill Me
Chapter 4
Seeing that I remained silent, Carla gripped my hand tightly. "Riley, you'll help me, won't you? Otherwise, Aunt Itzel will dredge up that old incident again."
She tried to use Itzel to pressure me, but I wasn't taking the bait. I replied calmly, "Let's talk about this later. My friend is coming over soon."
"Perfect timing, let's all grab lunch together. We should find a nice restaurant—wouldn't want to make your friend feel unwelcome."
Carla instructed the store manager to wrap up the necklace. "This necklace would look stunning on you. Many ladies have tried to reserve it; it’s quite in demand. Ma'am, you have impeccable taste," the sales associate chimed in flatteringly.
Once the necklace was packed, Carla stood nearby, expecting me to pay.
How amusing. Did she really think I was still going to buy it for her?
