GoodNovelChapter 2688 Tilda glanced at her, raising an eyebrow.
Oh, really? Yes, Rita continued, her voice steady but cautious.
Thanks to Mr.
Fernandezs recommendation, I had the chance to sing for the Red Mansion crew.
So I asked him to help set this up as a way to thank them for their support.
Her tone was humble, almost as if she feared upsetting Tilda.
Tildas expression stayed neutral.
I see.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis dinner must have been pricey, right? Miss Gordon, youre still a student.
Lets have my husband cover it. Rita quickly shook her head.
Thats not necessary.
Its fine, Tilda said, closing the matter.
Her smile held a hint of something more.
My husband toldabout you-how you couldnt pay for your grandmothers treatment and even knelt in front of the doctor at the hospital.
It was really sad.
He couldnt just watch that happen, so he stepped in to help.
She paused just long enough to let her words settle.
Her tone remained calm as she added, Im guessing things are still rough with your grandmother.
So, if youve made smoney, dont go spending it all.
Its smarter to save.
For a girl with self-respect like Rita, hearing Tilda talk about how she knelt before someone was incredibly humiliating.
On top of that, Tildas words suggested that Rita was squandering charity money on lavish things, which felt completely wrong.
Rita cast a quick glance at Tilda, noting the gentle smile on her face.
But in Ritas eyes, it seemed like there was a clear intent to embarrass her.
By mocking and lecturing her in front of several influential figures, Tilda highlighted Ritas modest background.
Ritas fingers tightened, and a wave of humiliation swept over her as she kept her gaze down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe replied softly, Yes, thanks to Mr.
Fernandez, I was able to raise the money for my grandmothers surgery.
Hes my great benefactor, and I will always remember his kindness. Im willing to do anything he asks ofin the future. While her words seemed simple, they darkened Tildas expression just a bit.
Rita was ready to do anything Lyndon asked? What could she possibly offer eTX him? Sex Tilda sneered inwardly.
Was Ritas statement intended to provoke her? What a cunning m woman Tilgas frustration bubbled ub, bit by bit, like water slowly coming to a boil. She held back her anger, giving Lyndon a quick look before forcing a smile.
Though my husband looks serious, hes got a good heart, or he wouldnt have helped Rita. Right, honey? she said, her voice Light but with a hint of something else. Lyndon had been calmly listening as the two women traded subtle jabs.
At Tildas comment, he took a sip of his water, a small smile appearing on his face. But he didnt say a word.
