The Inescapable Celibate Heir
Chapter 51 Code: Forget–Me–Not
Natalia and Lila were eyeing Ella, who had just bought them gifts worth a few thousand bucks,
They buttered her up for ages until she finally agreed to give each of them a pair of small earrings, totaling that was peanuts compared to Victoria s generosity!
Ella’s face turned beet red. “I’ll take them all, this set, and the butterfly set from earlier. Wrap them up
The sales assistant grinned. “Sure thing! Do you want a new one for the broken earring?”
over ten grand. But
“Of course, , you can’t give us a broken item, Lila quickly chimed in Ella, this tassel set is gorgeous, can I have it?”
Ella nodded, but her eyes were full of disdain.
Natalia squealed. The butterfly set is mine!”
They knew Ella looked down on them, but who cared? The perks were real.
“Thanks, Ella, you re the best! they said in unison.
The sales assistant took the card to process the payment, and Natalie and Lila kept showering Ella with compliments.
They even threw some shade at Mira.

Natalia said. “Victoria only bought you something to save face because we called her out! Unlike Ella, who ge a set of pearl jewelry each”
Lila added, “Yeah, Mira, you should be thanking us. Without us, you’d have nothing. Victoria only bought one set, but Ella got us two. Ella’s the one with the cash”
Mira rolled her eyes, ready to snap back.
The sales assistant’s voice cut in, “Ms. Scott, the total for these two sets is $118,000.-
Mira smirked, “So, two sets are still cheaper than my one set?”
Lila stubbornly replied, “It’s
because we like this
this style, not because Ella can’t afford it,”
Ella waved her hand impatiently. “Small change, just swipe the card
“Sure!” the sales assistant replied sweetly, But after swiping the card her expression changed

another card?”
“This credit card has insufficient funds.”
Ella’s fate fell, and she walked to the counter to check.
Since the school year started, she’d been showering classmates with gifts, bribing snooker club members, and today’s shopping spree had drained her credit card, leaving just over ten grand,

Mira burst out laughing, “Who said Victorias card was fake and couldn’t be swiped? Turns out it’s your card that can t be swiped!”
ironic how her attempts to show off had totally backfired.
Victoria couldn’t help but laugh too. It was it

had given Ella a high limit, a hundred grand a month, but Ella, suddenly flush with cash, had blown through it
Ella’s face turned sour, sheer embarrassment.
She grabbed the card and turned to leave. “Not buying!”
The
assistant ran up and blocked her. “Ms. Scott, you need to pay for the broken earring, $5,800; please swipe your card here.”
Ella bit her lip hard, threw the card on the ground. “Consider it a gir
The sales assistant picked up t the card, swiped it, and politely handed it back to Ella,
After turning around, she rolled her eyes and muttered, “What kind of person is this, not much money and the credit card is maxed out. Don’t pretend to be rich then!”
Ella snatched the card and stormed off angrily.
Natalia and Lila, loaded with shopping bags, glared at Victoria and Mira, then chased after her.
Slow down, Ella, we sti
we still need to take your car back to school!”
Victoria and Mira exchanged a smile, feeling even better.
Mira suddenly said seriously, “Victoria, I won’t be like them, only taking advantage of friends.”
She felt an overwhelming urge to repay Victoria’s generous gift with double the kindness. When she made some money, she’d definitely return the favor,

get it,” Victoria nodded.
Ella didn’t see Natalia and Lila as friends, but Victoria genuinely considered Mira & friend.
In her past life, those friends who grew up with her all betrayed and hurt her under Ella’s influence.
But Mira was different. She always had her back. Her support and companionship were priceless.
After making a mark at Smokestack Grill & Barbecue, Victoria deliberately ignored Shadow for a few days.
Ryan thought “X” had left a clue on purpose and would contact him soon, so he even stopped his part–time fob at Smokestack Grill
Barbecue, staying home by the computer every day.
But there was no news,
This “X”
really knew how to keep someone on edget
One day, Ryan had just finished washing up and was drying his hair when he noticed characters appearing on his always–on Computer screen: Your cooking skills are good.j
Without even drying off, Ryan rushed to the computer and quickly ped: It’s really you, what exactly is your purpose?|
He was afraid “X” would disappear for several days again

Victoria was in her bedroom, petting Flora with one hand and operating the computer with the other.
Seeing the quick reply, she really wondered if he was always by the computer, how could he always reply instantly?
You have good skills, let’s be friends.
(Good skills but always suppressed by you?]
Ryan was speechless. He was considered a computer genius, but his family couldn’t afford college. He taught himself computer skills, became renowned in the hacker community, and was subsequently hired by several tech companies to optimize their algorithms, ultimately achieving financial independence.
Therefore, he was always proud and looked down on those from academia.
Unexpectedly, “X” appeared, whose computer attack and defense skills surpassed even his ownL
You n

Staring at these words, Ryan was stunned for a while. This person was even more narcissistic than him!
[It’s not fair; you know my identity, but I’ve never seen you]
Victoria propped her chin. She did need to meet Shadow and formally get to know him, then win him over.
Without Shadow, Ella would lose many conveniences, just thinking about it made her happy.
Okay, on the 8th of next month, at 77 Greenery Road, Sweet Haven Corner.]
[How will I recognize you?!

pinned to his chest, what kind of awkward fashion statement would that be?
He was about to object and suggest a change, but Victoria had already exited his computer, and he couldn’t contact her.
After handling this, Victoria hugged Flora and prepared to go to bed.
Her phone buzzed with a series of message notifications.
Nick: [Ethan, you mentioned we could come to your place, when?]
Eric: Yeah, we’re free recently, and then we have to prepare for the league
Nick: [@Victoria are you there? If you’re not asleep, say something, otherwise, Ethan won’t respond to me.j
