Previously, she had bought the Emerald Goddess Dream necklace with the money Charlie had given her and won a grand prize worth 1.2 million dollars. Unexpectedly, Charlie had given her an identical necklace. So, as long as she went back and sold this necklace, this would be equivalent to her earning a necklace for nothing and also experiencing an excellent trip in a private jet followed by a few days in the United States.
She would subsequently be waiting to go to New York to play for two days before she would finally return home in satisfaction.
She would be able to regain her previous free and comfortable life, which would be very pleasant after she had returned.
Elaine was very happy as she joined the Rampage Team, and she was constantly grinning because she was in a good mood and could not contain her happiness.
She soon felt that her mouth was a little dry because she was breathing with her mouth open, and this made her breathing uneven. She could not keep up with everyone’s rhythm and gradually fell behind.
At this time, the vice-captain of the Rampage Team, who was an Oskian woman living in the United States, hurriedly came over when she saw that Elaine had been left behind. She smiled and said, “Oh, Elaine, why did you fall behind so quickly today?”
This woman’s name was Lucy Cardy, and she was two years older than Elaine.
Lucy had never worked in the United States. It was said that her son and daughter-in-law had started a business in the United States, so, she and her husband had come to live with their son in the United States to also help their son take care of his children.
Coincidentally, Lucy’s hometown was also in the same province as Elaine’s. Although it was not the same city, the two cities were adjacent to each other in the north and south, which was not too far away.
Elaine was the kind of person who usually regarded everyone as being beneath her. Even if she were to meet a fellow countryman outside, she might not have this kind of emotional feeling at all. The reason why she was so familiar with Lucy was mainly because of how Lucy dressed. At a glance, it could be seen that Lucy was not an ordinary person. Even the jade bracelet that Lucy wore was worth at least four or five million, and the car that Lucy usually drove to join the Rampage Team was a high-end Porsche Cayenne which was worth tens of thousands of US dollars.
Elaine had also encountered high-end goods before, so she could see at a glance that Lucy had to be very wealthy and that Lucy was not like her. Although Elaine was living in a luxury house and driving a luxury car, those were not her own, and her real disposable assets were, in fact, very little.
It was also because of this that Elaine wanted to get closer to Lucy.
Elaine smiled and said, “It’s not much of a happy event, but it’s just because I will be going back to Oskia soon. I’ve already spent enough time in the United States, and I want to go back earlier.”
Lucy was stunned for a moment, and a different look flashed across her eyes as she said reluctantly, “Oh, you’re already going back when you’ve only been here a few days? It’s rare for me to meet someone like you who has a similar temperament to me. We have only known each other for a few days, and that’s not enough.”
Elaine smiled and said, “It’s okay, Lucy. We have each other’s contact information. We can meet again if you come to Oskia or if I come to the United States again.”
Lucy said with a regretful expression, “Well, I was just thinking of inviting you to come over to our home for a meal one day. I could also introduce my husband, son, and daughter-in-law to you.”
Elaine said in surprise, “Oh, that’s great! We will only be going to New York on Friday anyway, so how about tomorrow night? I’ll bring my daughter and son-in-law with me to visit you, then!”
Lucy hesitated for a moment and then agreed as she said, “Okay. It’s a deal, then!”
