pen.”
“It’s just a pen. How expensive could it be?” Megan scoffed, displaying her bias. “I’l compensate you
with ten of them. But you must apologie to my son W e won’t ask for medical fees. You won’t be able
to afford them, given how shabby you look ust get out of the kindergarten ”
Neither Esther nor elix wore brand new seasonal clothing or prominent brand logos. Both were
adorned in custom made, high uality attire not publicly available from any brand. The pair of sports
shoes on elix’ s feet alone was more expensive than everything Megan wore.
