The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1297

However, he could not explain too much to Wes and the rest, so he kept quiet.

“Oh, it’s alright. After all, you need family connections, background, and money if you want a good career

in the army.

“Just like how it’s hard to do anything without money in the real world.

“So it’s good to come back early and make money.

“My dad’s new company needs security. I can refer you.

Wes was killing two birds with one stone by buying Sean and making himself sound good.

“No thanks.”

Sean waved his hand slightly.

“What’s the matter? Is being a security guard a bad thing?

“Bro, I’m not criticizing you, but there’s no shame in making money.

“When you have no money, it will be embarrassing that Catie can’t afford to buy a dress if she wants.

“You’re only considered a man when you’re willing to let go of your dignity to make money.”

Wes criticized Sean like he knew better.

Sean’s impression of Wes could not have been worse.

He would not allow Caitlyn to be with someone like him.

“I’ll buy Catie anything she wants.”

Sean shook his head slightly. He admitted he was Caitlyn’s boyfriend by saying that.

“How are you going to afford it?

“Look at how long has Catie worn the clothes she’s wearing?”

Wes curled her lip, his face disdainful.

Just then, Caitlyn’s phone rang in her pocket.

“Hello? Aunt May, what’s the matter?”

Caitlyn asked into the phone after picking it up.

What she did not realize was that several girls nearby immediately looked at her phone when she took it

out.

Wes only took a casual glance at first. Then he turned his head and looked over in shock.

‘Could Caitlyn afford such a good phone?‘

“I’m out having dinner with Brother Sean. What’s wrong?

“Are you sure everything’s alright? I’ll hang up if everything’s alright then!”

Caitlyn said a bit more and hung up slowly.

“Catie, you…”

Caitlyn was just about to put her phone in her bag when a girl next to her pointed at her phone with

shock

on her face.

“What’s the matter?‘

Stunned, Caitlyn picked up her phone and looked at it.

“Your phone… is expensive…”

The girl asked, her eyes wide.

“It’s indeed not cheap. It cost more than 1,000 dollars.”

With her phone in hand, Caitlyn said happily.

1,000 dollars was no small amount to her.

“What? 1,000 dollars?”

Hearing the price, everyone froze.

“What’s the matter? Is… is it not worth 1,000 dollars…”

Caitlyn blushed immediately, thinking the price she had said was a little too high.

“Where did you get it for 1,000 dollars? I’ll pay 10,000 dollars for ten phones!”

The girl was not joking at all. She picked up the phone to make a transfer.

“… Is it worth 2,000 dollars?”

Caitlyn finally came to herself and asked with wide eyes.

“No, do you really not know, or are you pretending?

“This is Samsung’s latest third–generation foldable phone!

“The lowest official quotation is 17,000 dollars, and yours has 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, right? It’s

also the premium version. It costs 21,900 dollars!

“It’s a phone costing more than 20,000 dollars. The point is that it might be out of stock even if you can

afford it. And you’re telling me you bought it for 1,000 dollars?

“You can’t get it second hand or third hand even if you want!”

Caitlyn’s head buzzed at the sound of the price.

She did not expect the phone in her hand to be worth 10 to 20 thousand dollars!

It was twice as expensive as Sophie’s iPhone.

That… That was scary.

“Catie, tell me where you bought it! I’ll get it now!”

The girl asked persistently.

“Brother Sean gave it to me.”

Caitlyn quickly turned to look at Sean.

The crowd froze again before quickly turning to look at Sean.

They knew Caitlyn would not spend so much money on a phone.

It turned out it was from Sean.

However, if Sean could spend so much money on a phone, he must be wealthy!

“Brother Sean, this phone didn’t really cost 1,000 dollars, right?”

The girl asked Sean.

Sean shook his head and smiled without much explanation.

How could they not understand it after seeing this?

Sean must have paid a lot of money for it but told Caitlyn it was only 1,000 dollars so she would not feel

bad!

“Catie, Brother Sean is so good to you!”

Several girls said emotionally.

“Of course.”

Caitlyn immediately smiled. She knew better than anyone that Sean treated her well.

Wes was a little humiliated.

“Catie, I’ll have my phone store send you two phones if you want.”

Wes snorted coldly and said as he got impulsive.

“What do I need so many phones for?”

Caitlyn asked Wes, looking at him flabbergasted.

Wes was rendered speechless by that question.

“Young Master Jordan, let’s order. We’re hungry.”

A boy nearby helped Wes resolve the embarrassment.

“Okay.”

Wes nodded and reached for the menu.

Although Sean could afford a phone costing 20,000 dollars, it was still nothing to him.

He must have received some retirement fee for his years of military service.

Besides that, he must have 80 to 100 thousand dollars.

Spending 20,000 dollars with clenched teeth was nothing.

“It’s funny that you spent 20,000 dollars on a phone.”

Wes mumbled as he looked at the menu.

“I can do whatever I want because I’m rich.”

Without giving in to Wes, Sean replied with a smile.

“What a joke. You said you’re rich in front of Young Master Jordan. Do you know what Young Master

Jordan’s family does?”

The guy next to Wes immediately slapped the table and said.

His arrogance was as if he had a share of Wes’s family money.

“Logan, that’s enough. We’re classmates having a meal together. What are you doing?”

A girl next to Caitlyn could not help saying.

“What am I doing? I just don’t like it when people pretend to be someone they’re not.

“What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?”

Logan Smith sneered and asked after glancing at Sean.

Sean shook his head slightly and said nothing.

In his current mindset, he had nothing in common with good–for–nothing heirs like Wes.

Sometimes, your silence would be perceived as your cowardice.

Therefore, Logan, the boy next to Wes, went even further.

“What’s 20,000 dollars for a phone?

“Young Master Jordans can buy two pairs of shoes. Got it?”

When Logan said this, no one contradicted him.

After all, with Wes’s family background, 20,000 dollars was nothing to him.
