Chapter 113
For sale’s sake, anything could be exaggerated.
The bracelet may look nice, but it did not suit her. The bracelet’s hole was slightly larger than she expected and the color
saturation was too high for her age.
“Is there no one to entertain a customer when they arrive? What is wrong with the service here?”
A pompous female voice could be heard from the other side.
The salesperson servicing Stella immediately rushed forward to entertain her. “Apologies, miss. May I know what you need?”
The lady skimmed through the items on display and arrogantly said, “What’s with the quality of the bracelet in your shop? Isn’t
this grade too low?”
The salesperson, having already faced many kinds of customers, immediately replied, “I’m sorry. To be honest, due to the
fragility and high costs associated with jade accessories, we would normally keep them in a safe to prevent customers from
breaking them by accident. We will only bring them out if they’re requested by the customer.”
“Then, why aren’t you going to get it now?”
The salesperson took out an iPad and warmly replied, “This is our catalog. Please do tell me if a design caught your fancy, or I
can recommend some that are within your budget.”
The other party scrolled through a few designs, suddenly pointed at Stella, and asked, “What’s the one on her wrist?”
The salesperson helped her find the corresponding display.
The lady only had a look and immediately said, “I want to try that one!”
“Alright, I’ll help you put it on after this lady has finished trying it out.”
The lady coldly sneered, “She’s already seen it for half a day. Do you even see her desire to buy it?”
The salesperson’s face revealed her awkwardness.
Stella did not bother to lift her head. Facing the mirror as she twirled her wrist, she said indifferently, “Regardless if I buy or not,
this should be on a first–come–first–served basis. You better wait obediently if you want to try it out.”
Stella had already seen them through the mirror, as they were walking over.
She recognized the lady wearing Chanel. Her name was Xianna, a member of Aurora’s sisterhood. Her family had business
dealings with the Kane family and was very close to Aurora.
This sisterhood of Aurora had a lot of prejudice against those who did not have the same social status as them. Sophia’s
inclusion in the sisterhood was quite a surprise.
Sure enough, she did not come with good intentions.
Stella was not interested in following along with the sisterhood’s temperamental attitude. It
just so happened that she had no place to vent her anger, as she was in a bad mood because she did not sleep well.
“Nice of you to say that. A housewife like you had to ask for money from the family just to buy a dress. Something as expensive
as this is not as simple as buying a dress.” Finishing that conversation, she faced the salesperson and said ambiguously, “You
should at least look at the customer’s purchasing power before you let them in. Women that need to reach out to their husbands
just for a petty change may like what you have, but they can’t afford it.”
Keegan, apart from not having feelings for her, had never treated her badly in any aspect. She did not have to worry about the
price whenever she had an overseas vacation, bought jewelry, or even expensive perfume.
She never mentioned any of these back at the Jewell house. After their marriage, Albert had always been pushing Stella to have
a pillow talk with Keegan that would benefit the Jewell family, even though Keegan was very firm in separating his private and
career affairs. Even if he was the father–in–law, Keegan would not consider helping Albert’s production line if it had any issues.
Once or twice might be fine, but she would not have the face to look Keegan in the eyes if this happened too many times. That
was why, in order to reduce these “pillow talk“, she took the initiative to say that living with the Kane family was tough since she
would need to ask for money from Keegan even to buy a dress.
Since then, Albert rarely let her discuss company matters with Keegan and started to let her focus on seducing Keegan just to
give birth to a Kane descendant.
‘I’ve only disclosed this to Albert. How did an outsider know about this?‘
She glanced at Sophia, and the latter guiltily avoided her eyes..
Stella raised her eyes and politely said, “It looks like Miss Xianna really looks down on housewives.”
Xianna sarcastically remarked, “How could anyone gain respect if one doesn’t work and only demands money from guys to
sustain their whole lives?”
Disdain was written all over Xianna’s face.
Keegan did not even complain about her spending his money, yet some freak could not stand
1. it.
