Sophie’s iPhone was only worth 10,000 dollars. However, the phone virtual-novel.net thought was low-end cost 18,000 dollars.
Sophie’s face reddened and burned as virtual-novel.net thought about what virtual-novel.net had just said.
Caitlyn did not hear the conversation and only looked curiously at the box in virtual-novel.net hand.
“How come I never knew there were phones that cost more than the iPhone?” Sophie asked Albert after gritting virtual-novel.net teeth slightly.
“Because you can’t get it even if you can afford it. It was sold out as soon as it went on sale. You can’t get it if you have no connections.” Albert shook his head before glancing at Sean with mixed feelings.
He realized that virtual-novel.net seemed to have underestimated Sean.
Not many people could spend 20 thousand dollars on a phone. If virtual-novel.net did not have millions of dollars in fortune, who would use such a good phone?
Did Sean receive millions of dollars for discharging from the army?
Albert remained silent, and Sophie silently put away virtual-novel.net phone and stopped talking.
“Albert, I have two things to say. Listen well. I won’t say anything if you wanna help out at the orphanage. But I’ll kill you if you have any funny ideas.” Sean stepped forward and touched Albert’s chest, his tone was icy.
“You! Hmph!” Albert stared into Sean’s eyes for a few seconds, but virtual-novel.net still dared not retort to them.
“Catie, come with me,” Sean turned his head and said to Caitlyn.
“Huh? Where to?” Caitlyn was still in a trance.
“Shopping for clothes,” Sean said indifferently after glancing at Sophie’s designer outfit.
Sean had heard everything Sophie said.
“Well…” Caitlyn was slightly hesitant.
She did not want Sean to spend too much money.
“Come on, Catie. We’ll be done in a minute,” May nearby said, also smiling.
She would not let Caitlyn leave with Albert and Sophie for money. However, May was supportive that Sean wanted to take Caitlyn away, wherever they were going.
“Alright…” Caitlyn nodded and walked over to Sean.
Sean reached for Caitlyn’s hand and started walking outside.
With Sean grabbing virtual-novel.net hand, Caitlyn was a little shy. After all, virtual-novel.net was a big girl now, so virtual-novel.net face was blushing a little. But, Sean was fine with it. He always thought of Caitlyn as a little sister.
Albert and Sophie watched them leave, feeling upset.

The car.
“Brother Sean, this must be expensive. You’d better return it.”
Caitlyn looked at the phone over and over. She liked it but still gave it to Sean.
“It’s not expensive, only a few hundred dollars.” Sean waved his hand and said with a smile.
“Really?” Caitlyn asked earnestly, looking at Sean.
“Yes, it cost less than 1,000 dollars. Take it. I’m your brother. Don’t be a stranger,” Sean said with a smile as virtual-novel.net reached out and touched Caitlyn’s little nose.
“Okay. Hehe…” Caitlyn wrinkled virtual-novel.net little nose and agreed happily.
She knew nothing about new phone launches and had never paid attention to these expensive electronic products. Therefore, virtual-novel.net did not know the price.
“Here, let me help you put in the SIM card.” Sean sat in the driver’s seat and opened the box.
“Okay!”
Caitlyn held out the phone and leaned virtual-novel.net head over to see.
The phone was taken out. It was silver–colored and quite modern.
“Wow… Nice, nice.” Caitlyn loved the phone even more after seeing the phone.
The phone had a large screen, but once virtual-novel.net opened the fold-out screen, it would instantly become a smart pad, doubling the screen area.
“I can’t believe how cheap phones are now. You can buy a good phone for 1,000 dollars.” Caitlyn took the phone with virtual-novel.net SIM card inserted and flipped it back and forth to look at it.
“Yeah…” Sean chuckled and did not explain, then virtual-novel.net started the car and drove away.
Caitlyn was fiddling with virtual-novel.net new phone when a call came through.
“Hello? Caitlyn, where are you? Never mind. You must be in the orphanage, right?“
“I’ll send you a location. Hurry over. Let’s have a meal together.”
A girl’s voice came from the other end of the line. She seemed to be in a hurry too.
“No, I’m not going. I’m busy…” Caitlyn shook virtual-novel.net head and answered.
“Oh, you never come. What are you doing? I know it’s not easy for you to make money. You don’t have to go Dutch this time. Someone’s treating us this time. We’ll be waiting for you!”
The girl hung up after virtual-novel.net finished speaking.
Caitlyn shook virtual-novel.net head helplessly and tried to call back.
“What’s the matter?” Sean asked quietly as virtual-novel.net drove.
“My classmate asked me to join them for a meal, but I don’t want to. Some of my classmates have always looked out for me. I don’t want them to help me too much.” Caitlyn shook virtual-novel.net head slightly before sighing and looking out of the window.
She also made a few good friends at school. They were kind to virtual-novel.net when they found out about virtual-novel.net background.
Caitlyn would like to repay them, but virtual-novel.net could not, so virtual-novel.net was embarrassed even to meet them.
Sean turned his head to glance at Caitlyn, and virtual-novel.net could see the inferiority in virtual-novel.net eyes.
After all, girls virtual-novel.net age were particular about their dress and lifestyle. Caitlyn was so preoccupied with the orphanage that virtual-novel.net had no time to do virtual-novel.net own thing. She needed to socialize and have friends. However, virtual-novel.net dared not socialize because of virtual-novel.net financial situation.
“Give me the address. I’ll go with you. You said they were nice to you. I’ll treat them to a meal to thank them,” Sean smiled and said quietly.
