Chapter 82 Use Juliana
Of course she could see that Juliana accepted her invitation because of Kane, which she had planned from the beginning. Poppy's questioning style and tone made Kane very unhappy. She knew he loved her so much. Why did she say that?
Seeing Kane staring at her and frowning, Poppy smiled indifferently and said, "Don't frown. The more she likes you, the more she will believe what I say next, which is a good thing." Kane pursed his lips, being noncommittal. When he followed Poppy away, he turned around and glanced at Juliana's room. He always felt that... he was sorry for that sunny woman.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
After Poppy and Kane left, Juliana didn't rest immediately. She held the phone and hesitated for a long time whether to contact Arthur immediately. When she thought that Arthur didn't tell her that he already had a girlfriend, Juliana finally didn't contact Arthur. She should wait and listen to Poppy's words before made up her mind.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Poppy came to Juliana as scheduled. As soon as Juliana opened the door, she frowned immediately. She looked like a young intern who was just entering the workplace. Poppy was going to take her to a high-end place later, and this dress was not suitable anymore.
"Is there any problem?" Seeing Poppy staring at her without saying a word, Juliana guessed a little from the look in her eyes, so she asked deliberately.
"Miss Knight, we'll go to a luxury party later, and there are some of my friends. Isn't it a bit too casual for you to dress like this? Didn't you bring any clothes? I'll take you to buy some now?" Poppy asked, pretending to be considerate.
What she said so, even Kane, who had been listening, frowned.
Juliana didn't get angry and changed her face. She just smiled and replied, "Sorry, because of my work, my clothes are almost always this style. Since you said so, then it's better to be obedient than polite. Please take me there."
She spent Poppy's money, so why not do it?
So, Poppy took Juliana to a high-consumption place near the hotel. At first, she wanted to choose some middle-to-lower level women's clothing for her. Unexpectedly, Juliana went directly to Gucci and other luxury brands, and new products were just released in the season. And they were even matched with the same jewelry. Poppy spent nearly a million on Juliana in less than an hour.
Was Poppy distressed? Of course she was distressed!
Juliana, who had already changed her clothes, was wearing a beautiful dress with luxurious jewelry. Juliana spent Poppy's money to become sweeter and more charming than Poppy. Being jealous, Poppy was naturally displeased. However, she desperately endured it.
After paying the money, she even pretended to be generous and said to Juliana, "Miss Knight, look how beautiful you are dressed like this. You will definitely attract the attention of countless men later." "Really?" Juliana smiled, completely ignoring the unnatural smile on Poppy's face.
Poppy was even more annoyed. She was actually not polite. If it wasn't for her use value... Poppy gritted her teeth and endured it.
After coming out of the shopping center, the three people returned to the hotel. The luxury room was on the fifth floor. Poppy assumed the attitude of the owner and led Juliana and Kane to go forward. Juliana had the opportunity to talk to Kane alone.
"Your friend looks a little unhappy," Juliana teased Kane.
"Why do you say that?" Kane asked with a smile.
"She paused just now when she paid and swiped her card. It seems that the dress I chose was too expensive?" Juliana said without shyness.
Kane was silent. He had seen Poppy's appearance just now when she paid. He thought that Juliana would not notice the details, but he didn't expect her to notice Poppy's strangeness so carefully. Now that she asked this and he didn't even know how to answer.
Kane clearly knew what she meant, but she looked like she was thinking about Poppy.
Juliana couldn't help but ask, "Kane, what's your relationship with Miss Powell? It's not just friends, does it?"
"Well, it's a deeper relationship than a friend. We are from the same city. We have known each other since we were very young. I treat her like a sister." Kane did not deny it, but did not confess her feelings for Poppy. Poppy asked for it and he explained for her instead,
"We are all from poor families and may have certain obsessions with material desires, but Poppy is not bad by nature. I hope you don't misunderstand anything."
"But I don't think you have such a strong desire for material things." Juliana was noncommittal, ignored his statement that Poppy's nature was not bad, and asked Kane instead.
"Me? I bought a car and a house. It's not all about materialism." Kane answered bluntly. He had been desperately pursuing a higher standard of living these years for Poppy.
He hoped, and didn't want that scene to appear when Poppy had nowhere to go one day, he could be her support.
Juliana kept looking at Kane like this. Seeing that she was about to walk to the elevator, she suddenly asked again,
"Kane, introduced me to Poppy. Did you guys set up the game together?"
After only three seconds of hesitation, Kane gave his answer, "I went to Kenya to meet you just by accident, but it was indeed intentional to lead you back here."
Kane did not deny it completely, "The purpose is to introduce you to Poppy. As for whether I do this will become a bad act in your eyes, wait until you listen to what Poppy has to say before making a judgment." Looking at Juliana's clear eyes, Kane only prayed that all the grievances would not affect her.
Although he knew that Poppy was at fault first, he was already in deep trouble and couldn't regain his innocence.
"Okay, I see." Seeming to appreciate Kane's confession, Juliana replied with a smile, and then the two followed Poppy to the elevator. And soon, the elevator arrived at the floor where the room was. Poppy still politely led the way, but when she introduced Juliana into the room, Juliana frowned slightly.
The luxury room of the hotel was spacious. The area of nearly 250 square meters was a place of stability that many ordinary people pursued in their lives. But now the lights in this space were dim, the loud music was playing on the screen, and more than a dozen men and women had ambiguous postures. They were sitting on the sofa and laughing endlessly. The upper air of the room was filled with a layer of smoke visible to the naked eye, which smelled very choking.
In this situation, even Kane couldn't help frowning in disgust and asked Poppy, "Poppy, who are these people?"
"These are my friends," Poppy didn't expect so many people in advance. She was afraid that the place would be deserted, so she invited a few of her girlfriends over. Unexpectedly, they invited other friends and just started playing. But she didn't mind it. She thought this would make her look more well-connected and richer, so she turned her head proudly and said to Juliana,
"Miss Knight, these friends are all invited by me to throw the welcoming party for you. Have a couple of drinks later?"
A welcoming party? Juliana laughed secretly. The air here was so dirty. She was afraid she would be stained with filth.
