Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 171

18,600 dollars—that amount was indeed a bit high for an average university student.

Even someone born into a wealthy family would have found this amount a little too much, let alone someone like Louis, who didn't even come from a rich family but was from a middle-class family.

His monthly allowance should have been around 5,000 dollars if my memories were correct. That was considered a lot among university students, but he never saved. Not only would he spend it all every month, but he often borrowed money from others, including me.

It was clear how terrible he was with money.

With Mrs. Brown unexpectedly present, he probably wasn't prepared at all. It would already be quite a feat if he could present his entire monthly allowance of 5,000 dollars to host her.

Being asked to present 18 thousand dollars suddenly was undoubtedly a crushing blow to him.

As expected, cold sweat soon appeared on his face. Anyone could see how anxious he was.

"O-Okay. I'll pay."

Louis took out his wallet, shakily pulling out several bank cards. Besides one debit card, the rest were credit cards.

"Start by charging 4,800 dollars on this card."

The initially frightened Mrs. Brown immediately let out a sigh of relief when she saw Louis willing to pay and began bragging again to the others.

"Oh, jeez. Isn't my daughter amazing? She found such a capable son-in-law for me who can casually dish out 18 thousand dollars for a meal and spend ten thousand on some wine without even batting an eye!"

Her two companions immediately chimed in with flattery, "Exactly! Veronica sure can pick her men. You'll never have to worry about retirement again. When your daughter gets married, you can ask her husband to buy you a mansion and have you live in the city."

"That's right! A house with a garden would be best. When we visit you in the future, we can bask in the sun together in the garden."
