Chapter 1493

Leeching Off Of Her

“Vivi, we agreed to dress up as Snow White together.” Elaine broke the silence before shifting her gaze
away from Kurt and toward the sympathetic-looking Vivian.

Vivian kept mum for a moment and glanced at the fabric. “How about you change your character,
Elaine? My mommy promised that she’d bring me to Criss Academy to meet my favorite designer only
if I can get first prize for the Halloween costume competition.”

Without hesitation, Vivian decided on wanting the fabric to herself after all. In the process, she turned
Elaine down.

Therefore, Vivian wasn’t actually a child that could be swayed easily, nor was she unassertive. It was
only that she was kind by nature. Most of the time, she would rather not be calculative toward others. As
long as it wouldn’t disadvantage her greatly, she would let others have their way.

In regard to the choice of fabric, she stood her ground and prioritized herself.



Although Elaine was pissed, she dared not speak a word because Kurt was there.

In the end, they only requested a person’s worth of fabric.



After purchasing the fabric for the dress, the search for the materials needed for Kurt’s prop was next on
the agenda.

However, Kurt wasn’t keen on it. In fact, he seemed as though he was not interested in Halloween at all.
But Vivian insisted otherwise.



“Kurt, how do you like this prince outfit? Also, I can get a crown made for you.” Vivian then went into
another store and saw that they had rhinestones.

A prince? Me? Kurt blushed as he heard what Vivian had in mind for him.

Elaine, however, clenched her fists in anger. So if Kurt is dressing up as the prince, doesn’t that mean I’d
have to dress up as one of the dwarfs? I’m a sweet little girl! Why would I want to dress up as a dwarf?

She was upset. But by then, Vivian had already brought Kurt to the other store.

“Kurt, do you like this? The fabric for my dress is white, while yours would be cornflower blue. Along with
a crown made of rhinestones, we’d look amazing together.” Vivian was enthusiastically taking Kurt’s
measurements for his outfit. She then rested her palm on his head to get an idea of what size of a crown
he’d need.

At that moment, Kurt froze. Due to some bad memories, he had never liked to be touched. However, he
didn’t react negatively when Vivian laid her hand on him. Instead, he only slightly clenched his fists and
let her take his measurements.

“Vivi, what am I supposed to dress up as if Kurt is the prince?” Elaine asked.

“Huh?” Vivian was also puzzled as she had already picked out everything Kurt needed.

As Elaine was afraid that Vivian might recommend for her to dress up as a dwarf, she took the
opportunity and suggested instead, “How about I dress up as Snow White’s sister?”

“Huh? Since when did Snow White have a sister?” Vivian blurted. “The only remaining characters in the
fairy tale are the dwarfs and the evil queen.”

To which Elaine responded, “We can make up a new character!”

Vivian remained silent while Kurt asked, “What? Are we re-writing the fairy tale now?”



A moment of awkward silence ensued.

Elaine was infuriated upon hearing that. However, she didn’t dare to voice out because Kurt was present.
Instead, she just looked away. Damn you, Kurt! One day, I’ll get back at you. Just you wait.

In the end, despite Elaine’s suggestion, Vivian said, “Elaine, how about you look for another character in
other fairy tales. You can dress up as one of them.”

Elaine went speechless as she fought against showing her anger. In the end, she had to give in. “All right
then. I’ll dress up as Cinderella.”

“Oh?” Vivian’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea! It suits you!” Vivian was genuinely happy that Elaine
found a character to dress up as. She had no ulterior motive.

However, Elaine felt offended by what Vivian said. Is she serious? What is she implying? Just because
her family is wealthy, she sees herself as a princess, while I’m the poor Cinderella? She was utterly
pissed.

But that wasn’t the end of Elaine’s misery. Because when Vivian and Kurt were done buying all the
materials they needed, Kurt suddenly told them that they had used up all the money.

“What? Have we used up all of it?” Vivian widened her puzzled eyes in shock, staring at Kurt.

Kurt nodded. “We’re left with five hundred.”

Vivian was stunned speechless.

On the other hand, Elaine was getting angrier than before. Five hundred? What the hell can I get with
five hundred? A piece of trash?
