Jillian Carter picked up a vegetable with chopsticks for James Carter, laughing, "I donât feel guilty spending the money you gave me, but spending Joseph Shawâs money, I feel guilty."
After speaking, Jillian Carter looked over at Jane Sampson, as if seeking her support, and asked, "Jane, donât you agree? You married James Black; do you spend his money? Probably not, right?"
Jillian Carter seemed eager for an affirmative answer from Jane Sampson, so before Jane spoke, she shook Janeâs arm.
Jane Sampson glanced at James Carter, instinctively reached out to touch the hairpin on her hair, then the bracelet on her wrist.
Her voice showed not the slightest hint of guilt as she replied, "Oh, I spend it, and spend it hard, with all my might. The more I spend, the happier he gets."
Jane Sampson shook her wrist, "My jewelry is bought by him, clothes too. He accompanies me to buy them at the shopping mall, and he picks up the tab. Even my snacks are bought by him. His salary card has been with me since our marriage."
The more Jane spoke, the more spirited she became, "You know, James Black wishes for me to be as penniless as possible, to take even a dime from him when spending."
James Carter watched Jane Sampson, quietly curled his lips, and chuckled softly.
"You and Jillian are really different in this aspect." James Carter didnât feel that Jane Sampsonâs behavior of spending her husbandâs money was lacking independence. On the contrary, he found the interaction between James Black and Jane quite unique.
It sounded intriguing.
James Black was a man with strong possessiveness; this was clear to James Carter.
Moreover...
"James Black wishes for you to be as penniless as possible, taking even a dime from him. I guess itâs because youâre greedy, always sneaking food, so he hopes you have no money to indulge in what you shouldnât eat. That way, whatever you spend on, if heâs not around, he can know if youâre obedient."
James Carter guessed, but seeing Jane Sampsonâs immediate reaction, he felt he guessed right.
Jane Sampson quietly remained silent, picking up vegetables with chopsticks and eating.
"Arenât you afraid that if you keep spending his money every day, one day heâll get tired of you, think youâre not independent, like a vine that only clings to him?" Jillian asked in a somewhat perplexed tone, "At least, I donât spend much of Joseph Shawâs money."
Jane Sampson smiled slightly at Jillian Carter, with a thousand words of "WTF" in her heart, unsure whether to voice them.
Not to mention when Joseph Shawâs company helped Jillian against her, effectively costing Joseph Shaw a fortune because of Jillian.
And all those announcements that Jillian stole from her, Joseph Shaw spent who knows how much on.
Not to mention recently, the web drama "The Presidentâs Wife is Not Human," Joseph Shaw invested a fortune just to secure the lead role for Jillian Carter.
In the end, how much did this web drama cost Joseph Shaw?
With these matters all present, Jillian Carter was preaching female independence and not spending a husbandâs money to Jane Sampson, who couldnât help but find it laughable.
If Yvette Quick had said this, Jane Sampson might find it sensible, seeing Yvette as a very independent and unique woman.
But Jillian Carter, she really isnât in a position to claim sheâs not clinging to Joseph Shaw like a vine.
