"What a coincidence. Someone offered me something I couldn't refuse, too, and you definitely can't afford it!"
Kyle looked at Pearl with a sneer.
At that, Pearl fell silent. They had known each other for nearly a hundred years and understood each other well. If Kyle said he could not afford it, then he probably really could not.
