StarNovelChapter 1732: "Didn't you leave the Gill family? How... How did you... Did you graduate early and land shigh-paying job?" Ulises knew Harlee was frighteningly intelligent, so the idea of her skipping grades and fast-tracking her way into a lucrative career didn't seem too farfetched.
Harlee's gaze softened for a moment as she realized Nyomi must never have mentioned the details of her situation. With a faint sigh, she replied, "Something like that." Earning a PhD from Uwhor's top university by the age of twenty could count as graduating early, right? It wasn't exactly a lie. Harlee couldn't quite pinpoint why she hadn't told Ulises and Virginia the full truth. Maybe it was because Nyomi hadn't mentioned it, and she didn't feel the need to explain either.
Harlee noticed the flicker of doubt in Ulises' eyes and brushed it off with a wave of her hand.

Ulises hesitated before stiffly replying, "Okay." A moment later, his phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen and froze. A deposit of $200,000 had just landed in his account. For a second, he forgot how to breathe.
"If that's not enough, letknow. I'll cover and cover the rest," Harlee said casually.
She had originally planned to transfer a million but then decided against it, fearing it might overwhelm him. And that would ruin the whole point of her gesture.
Ulises was left completely speechless. Holding his phone as if it were priceless, he awkwardly made his way out of the boutique.

"Hey, Hazel, isn't that your cousin, Virginia?” Zora asked, looping her arm through Hazel's and pointing toward Virginia.
Upon hearing this, Hazel's brow furrowed slightly, her expression momentarily clouded with disdain. How could someone like Virginia, who barely had enough to scrape by, possibly afford to step foot in a high-end store like this? But when Hazel followed Zora's gaze, she froze. It really was her cousin. Her brows knitted tightly.
Meanwhile, Virginia stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself in the outfit. Her eyes widened with disbelief as she gazed at the garment, unable to quite process the beauty of what she was wearing. Normally, her wardrobe consisted of faded T-shirts and jeans, the fabric worn thin by countless washes. However, this outfit felt like a world away from anything she had ever known, and that was why she liked it the moment she saw it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Not bad at all," Harlee said, nodding in approval. She gestured toward two more outfits in different styles. "Try these on next." Virginia hesitated, her voice shaky with uncertainty.
"N-no, that's not necessary." Trying on even one outfit felt like a dream ctrue for Virginia. The thought of trying on more without buying anything made her uneasy. Would they ask her to leave if she didn't make a purchase?
"Go ahead and try these on too. I think both styles will suit your Harlee urged, her tone feaving no room for argument.
The sales associate, having already brought over the two outfits Harlee suggested, made it clear that Virginia had no choice but to head back to the fitting room. Just as Virginia was e.
about to enter, Zora and Hazel walked into the store. "Well, well... If it isn't the class's most famous broke girl, Virginia. Look at you, all dolled up. Tsk..." Zora sneered, then turned to the sales associates with a mocking smile.
"You actually let someone like her try on clothes? Aren't you worried, she'll ruin them? Or do you really think someone like her can afford anything here?"
