Chapter 439: Selling A Girl for Glory 4 Chapter 439: Selling A Girl for Glory 4 Clara Brown sat down next to Mia Garcia on the sofa.
“Once we have enough money, you can buy as many handbags as you like. I’ll buy them all for you,” Clara joked.
Mia replied, “Mom, handbags will eventually co and go, but opportunities do not often present themselves. Now that you are in a relationship with Uncle Lee, you could perhaps whisper in his ear so suggestions. I am relying on you to help get back into the Entertainnt Circle.”
Hearing what her daughter said, Clara’s smile instantly faded halfway. She began to voice her grievances to Mia, “You don’t understand. Although I am in a relationship with Uncle Lee, he is a businessman and is very shrewd. Up till now, despite us having slept together four tis, he only gives a small allowance or buys things like handbags and necklaces. He’s not willing to spend a lot on . If this continues, not to talk about you returning to the Entertainnt Circle, even our nurous credit card debts will beco an issue.”
“Mom, you need to push harder. If he’s not reinforcing your benefits, then you should play hard-to-get,” Mia suggested.
Hearing this advice, Clara beca even more saddened, “Do you still think I’m as fresh as a daisy like when I was eighteen? I’m already an old maid. If I tried playing hard-to-get or not pleasing him, your Uncle Lee could instantly find soone younger and more beautiful than . n are just fickle like that.”
“Not only do I dare not ignore him now, but I also have to find ways to make him believe that I still have a lot going for . Otherwise, if he doesn’t co looking for , what will beco of us?”
Seeing Clara’s sad expression, it didn’t seem like she was faking it.
“Mom, don’t be so pessimistic. Perhaps Uncle Lee likes the way you are. Mature won have their own charm,” Mia reassured her.
“What if Uncle Lee no longer wants ? What will we do?” Clara asked tentatively.
Mia anxiously responded, “That’s why, Mom, you have to push forward as soon as possible. Get Uncle Lee to promote . Once I beco famous, even if Uncle Lee leaves you, I can support you.”
Listening to her daughter’s naïve ideas, Clara didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“What if Ethan Lee refuses?” Clara asked again.
Mia kept on saying, “Mom, so that’s why you need to make an effort to make Uncle Lee dependent on you. In that case, he will naturally listen to you.”
“A man will only stay with a woman he truly loves. Otherwise, once he gets tired of playing, he will surely leave, especially won like who are getting old,” Clara responded.
“Mom, don’t be so pessimistic. I’ve told you ti and ti again, you’re not aging but retaining your charm. If you were old and fading, would Uncle Lee get on board with you?” Mia was full of praises trying to boost Clara’s spirit. She was afraid that Clara would lose confidence and give up, “The most important thing for a woman is confidence. You have to believe in yourself. How many won your age could maintain themselves like you do? People would hardly believe you’re the mother of an adult daughter like when we stand together. We look more like sisters.”
Clara took Mia’s hand and said seriously, “Mia, I’m not being pessimistic. I’m being serious.”
As she said this, Clara’s eyes welled up with tears, which she barely held back.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Did Uncle Lee upset you?” Mia quickly comforted.
Clara composed herself before speaking, “Your Uncle Lee…we had quite the conversation today, and I still don’t know what to do.”
