Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1602

Hearing the tone of her voice, Elysia asked urgently, "What's wrong, Winona?"

"Do you have any idea how much Keaton spent on that fall/winter haute couture collection he ordered for me from Old Mr. White?" Winona asked.

"I don't know, I never asked. Why?" Elysia said.

"Can you please ask Mr. White for me? Or maybe Emmett? I need to know the exact amount," Winona pleaded.

"Okay, hold on a second."

Elysia went upstairs with her phone to find Emmett. He knew the figure because he'd been with Old Mr. White when it was discussed. Emmett said, "Uncle Keaton gave Mr. White a staggering sum. After Mr. White found out about our connection, he didn't want to take it, but Keaton insisted. He said he was atoning for his sins and needed to spend the money to ease his conscience."

Elysia was stunned. "He spent a staggering fortune on that collection?"

"Yeah. What's wrong, Mommy?"

Elysia was speechless. This wasn't just haute couture; this was an insane amount of money. She swallowed hard. "Nothing, honey. I'm just asking for Aunt Winona. You boys keep playing. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Elysia walked back downstairs, phone in hand. "Winona, did you hear that?"

Winona was just as shocked. "I heard. Hundreds of millions? Oh my God! I heard people at work talking about that figure today, but I thought it was just a rumor. I knew Old Mr. White's collections were expensive, but I never thought Keaton would spend that much on me."
