Chapter 228
Lucy did the mental calculations. If one floor cost 3,500 dollars, renting both floors would cost 7,000 dollars a month.
Since she was not sure how long she would stay in Charleston, she conservatively estimated that she would stay for a year.
For 12 months, the total would be 84,000 dollars.
Lucy furrowed her brows in distress. Back at home with the Quinn family, she never lacked allowance, but coming up with 84,000 dollars at once was not easy.
She opened her purse and took out a black card.
She hesitated before taking it out. It was given to her by Matthew before she left. Perhaps this card could help her pay the rent.
She was not sure whether there was enough money in the card. If there was not enough, this would not end well.
Lucy had never seen the card before, so she did not know that the black card had unlimited credit. Any expenses she made would be recorded by the bank, and specialized personnel would settle the payments each month.
Moreover, the card was accepted internationally.
Lucy should realize who she was. She was the wife of the richest man in the world!
It was just 84,000 dollars. She should just use the card!
However, Lucy was still hesitant. She took out the black card with a troubled expression on her face, but ultimately, she gritted her teeth and decided to rent the two floors because she really liked the place.
If she could not pay with her black card, she could just wait until Cillian came back and have him pay in advance. She could just pay him back later. She handed the black card to the woman and asked, "Do you accept card payments? I'd like to rent both floors for a year. Is that possible?"
The woman was surprised. She did not expect the young lady to rent the place for such a long time.
She thought that the beautiful young lady was just here as a tourist, but it seemed like she was a student studying abroad.
Of course, she had no objections to having her stay for a year.
The woman took her card and smiled brightly.
"Sure, we have a credit card reader here. One year's rent for two floors would be 84,000 dollars," she said before asking her daughter to fetch

the
credit card reader.
Seeing as she managed to rent the rooms out, the little girl cheered happily and skipped down the stairs to get the credit card reader.
Soon, she handed it to her mother. After inserting the black card into the machine and keying in the total amount, she swiped the card.
Lucy was anxiously staring at the screen, hoping there were 84,000 dollars in the card.
The card reader flashed a green light, indicating a successful transaction.
Lucy sighed in relief, thankful that the transaction went through.
It was an unlimited black card, after all. She never had to worry about not having enough money!
After the payment, the woman
returned the black card to Lucy and

"In that case, have a pleasant stay," the woman replied warmly.
After exchanging pleasantries with the woman, Lucy left the guest house.
