Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Maddie laid it on thick, "Mrs. Bishop, you're so beautiful! Even prettier than my mom! You must have been a knockout when you were younger! Steph must have inherited your good looks. She's so pretty." "Aww, sweet talker! You're such a cutie pie! Our Steph hasn't been bullying you at school, has she? If she has...just tell me, and I'll sort her out."

Stephanie helplessly said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't bully people."

Maddie winked at her, the look in her eyes saying...Are you sure you don't bully me? You've forgotten who made me cry, huh?

Gillian laughed at the girls' interactions, "Don't worry, Mrs. Bishop, Steph is so adorable she would never bully anyone! Everyone loves her, even the teachers often praise her!"

Marilyn curiously asked, "Oh? How do the teachers praise my Steph?"

"They say she's smart, cute, studies hard and has a talent for performing...She's a born actress!"

"Really? Steph, you can't let your teachers down. You have to study hard!"

"I know...Later, I'm going shopping with Maddie and Gillian to buy some books and hang out. Do you need anything, mom? I can buy it for you."

Marilyn shook her head, "I don't need anything. Just have fun. Buy whatever you want using my card. Don't worry about saving money for me."

Saying this, she took out a black card and handed it to her.

Stephanie's eyes widened when she saw the card.

When she worked at the bar, she had seen this kind of card before. Cyrus had given her one after trashing the place, acting all generous and saying, "Go on, use it! Don't be shy. I'll pay for the damage!" Later, she found out it was a VIP card from the bank.

To apply for such a card, one would need at least six figures in their account.

Her mom couldn't possibly have this card...So, could this card be from Sebastian, given to her mother-in-law?

Marilyn caught her daydreaming and winked at her, "Steph, what are you thinking about?"

Stephanie forced a smile, "Mom, you're really hiding something...I'll interrogate you when I get back."

Marilyn laughed, "Go on, the sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back."

Maddie asked, "Steph, aren't you going back to school with us this afternoon?"

"I'm staying with my mom at the hospital tonight and going straight to school for class in the morning."

Gillian quickly said, "Steph, it's good for youContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Marilyn laughed, "My spirits got better when you guys came. Remember to visit me more often for a chat. I'm always happy to have you here." "Sure, Mrs. Bishop! We'll visit more often."

Maddie and Gillian brought her a lot of gifts this time.

Gillian came from a modest family, so her gifts were more common, mainly local specialties.

In contrast, Maddie was much more
