From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 346

Pansy and Laurinda sat together for a bit before heading off to take care of their own things. Laurinda and Carla wandered around Queen for a while, checking out a few more shops before stepping outside.

“Carla.”

Carla stopped when she heard someone call her name from behind. She turned, and Laurinda looked over too, just in time to see a girl in her early twenties storming toward them, looking absolutely furious.

Carla’s head throbbed the moment she recognized Candida. Whenever this spoiled princess was in a bad mood, everyone nearby paid the price. Carla had no idea who had set her off this time.

“Are you shopping alone?” Carla asked, her voice soft and gentle.

“Carla, can you lend me some money? I want to buy something, but I don’t have enough.”

Carla frowned, caught off guard by the blunt request. “How come you’re out of cash?”

Candida let out an annoyed sigh. “Don’t even ask. It’s Adolphus. He started talking nonsense to my dad, and now my dad’s frozen all my cards.”

She sounded irritated and impatient. Saul was still in the hospital, and she needed to buy him a decent gift, but her cards were useless. At least she’d bumped into Carla.

Carla glanced at Laurinda, thinking about introducing Candida, but Laurinda just looked bored, so she didn’t bother.

“Adolphus never gets involved in other people’s business. What did you do to make him go running to Derek?” Carla wasn’t planning to lend any money, but her curiosity got the better of her.
