"Not willing to switch?" Charis smiled inwardly. "Fine. I have my methods."

Charis crossed her arms, tilting her head. "A thousand."

These commoners were all the same. They only cared about money.

Offer enough cash, and Caitlin would surely cave.

"No." Caitlin refused.

"Five thousand!" Charis immediately upped the offer.

Caitlin remained unmoved.

"Ten thousand!" Charis raised the price again.

Caitlin ignored her, pulling out her phone to reply to a WhatsApp message from Gordon.

Seeing that Caitlin wasn't even looking at her, Charis grew more incensed. "Isn't ten thousand enough for you? Caitlin, don't push your luck!"

All this fuss over a bed? What, does she think it's solid gold? So petty. Utterly crass.

"It's not about the amount," Caitlin said, her eyes cutting toward Charis. "It's that I'm not making the switch."

Charis, who had never faced any real setbacks in her life, had been rebuffed by Caitlin twice.

She glared at Caitlin, trying to suppress her rage. "Stop playing high and mighty! You just want to jack up the price, don't you? Fine! I'll play your game! How about thirty thousand? Is that enough?"

Thirty thousand!

At the mention of that number, the other girls in the dorm exchanged shocked glances.

Sure enough, a rich girl was a rich girl.

Some people worked an entire year to earn thirty thousand.

But for this heiress, it was just pocket change to swap beds.

Everyone assumed that with an offer of thirty thousand, Caitlin would surely agree.

But to their surprise, she still looked completely indifferent.

Nicolette nudged Yvette's arm. "How much do you think Caitlin actually wants?"

Thirty thousand wasn't enough.

Her appetite was huge.

Yvette glanced at Caitlin. "I think she's trying to use this as a chance to really fleece Miss Gonzales. Probably wants over a hundred thousand."

Nicolette was incredulous. "Is she that shameless? She looks so put-together. Her clothes don't have any obvious logos, but the material looks really nice. I think her jacket might even be brocade."

Brocade was considered a relatively high-end fabric.

Nicolette's parents were in the textile business, so she recognized the material of Caitlin's jacket instantly.

Yvette scoffed. "It's the first day of school. Of course she'd pull out the best clothes she owns to make an impression!"

Nicolette nodded, thinking Yvette had a point.

Silk was expensive, but not completely unaffordable.

It was normal for ordinary people to buy one or two nice pieces to show off.

Thinking of this, Nicolette sighed. "Caitlin seems so pretty and elegant. I didn't expect her to be so vain."

Seeing that Caitlin remained

impassive even after she'd offered

thirty thousand, Charis sneered. "You win, Caitlin! Name your price!

Money is the one thing my family has plenty of. Today, I'll be generous and satisfy your appetite."

She wanted to see just how greedy Caitlin really was.

Today, that bed by the window was going to be hers.

"Name my price?" Caitlin looked up, an eyebrow raised. "Are you sure?"

A sarcastic glint appeared in Charis's eyes. She knew it. This was the moment Caitlin had been waiting for.

"I'm sure. Go ahead."

"A..." Caitlin began, her lips parting as she deliberately slowed her speech.

hearing the word "a," the sarcasm in Yvette's eyes deepened. She elbowed Nicolette and whispered, "See? I knew it. She wants a hundred

thousand! Tsk how shameless Trying to get rich off a dorm bed. don't know how someone like her even got into Kingsward.
