The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: MEG

Another day had passed, and it was only a few days before Melissa’s big day. Seated in a restaurant, Melissa was all smiles with Celestine Lancaster across from her. She had gone shopping with Celestine and had just experienced VVIP treatment she had never encountered before.

They had security while they shopped, and the head manager escorted them throughout. They also had access to all boutiques and were given priority!

"For you."

Surprise overtook Melissa’s face as Celestine Lancaster handed her a paper bag. She accepted it with gratitude, but her surprise remained as she glanced at the brand on the bag.

"My advance gift to you for your engagement," said Celestine. "I saw you looking at it earlier, so I thought you might like it."

Melissa bit her lips, containing her excitement. "Thank you. You didn’t have to, but I do like it."

"Don’t your father or Derek spoil you with these things?" Celestine quipped. "How could you not buy it when you liked it?"

"Ah, hehe..." Melissa chuckled awkwardly, not wanting to admit that the price of this necklace was over her budget. Even though she was earning her own money, she had other expenses to consider. Besides, her shopping budget had been cut down because Lawrence wasn’t home.

"Well, I wasn’t born rich," she said meekly. "Back then, my mother and I lived in a humble home. Maybe because of that, spending too much on something feels a little excessive."

"That’s impressive."

"Saving has become my second nature," Melissa’s smile stretched further. "So, I feel guilty when I have to spend on big purchases. Had it not been for my mother and my endorsement contracts, I would still be using the same things. But the entertainment industry is all about appearances."

Celestine nodded, impressed. Initially, she hadn’t liked this young girl simply because Melissa was the daughter of a homewrecker. Celestine didn’t want to associate with such people, even if Melissa was marrying into the Lancasters’ family.

However, Melissa wasn’t that bad. At least, she had been proving that Celestine hadn’t made a mistake in inviting her.

"Treating yourself is not a sin, especially since you’ve been working hard for your future," Celestine said. "However, the entertainment industry is fickle and chaotic altogether."

"I know. That’s why I’ve been investing lately."

"Oh?" Celestine’s interest piqued. "Where have you been investing?"

"For now, I’m investing in the agency," Melissa smiled. "The big cut of my paycheck goes to stocks. My agency is one of the biggest right now, and with me and a few artists signed to the agency landing big projects like Angel’s Revenge, the stocks have been rising."

Celestine smiled in satisfaction. "I see. Investing is wise, especially at your age. It’s how I built my wealth outside of NL Group. However, Melissa, I’m going to say this because I see you as someone very important to my nephew."

"Investing in the entertainment industry is high risk," she continued calmly. "Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Take it slow and study the market carefully."

"Thank you," Melissa smiled. "I am being careful with my investments, and I’ve done my due diligence."

I didn’t get an invitation when I was invited, only a text, she thought.

I might send her a formal invitation once I’m sure she’s not as bad as I feared, Celestine thought.
