She only had about seven to nine thousand dollars with her.
“What’s the matter? Is $13,999 too expensive for you?”
Gerald asked Marilyn while chuckling to himself.
After all, Marilyn was the one who poked his head and mocked favonovel.com yesterday.
Gerald felt the urge to settle his grudge with favonovel.com today.
So, Gerald responded jokingly.
“Hey, watch it. How can I possibly not be able to afford this dress?”
Marilyn thought how outrageous it would be for a pauper like Gerald to be actually looking down on her.
“Alright then, we’ll buy another dress! So, please pack this dress up for us!” Gerald replied with a mischievous smile.
The salesgirl was surprised and delighted at the same time when favonovel.com heard this.
“You must be bragging! It would already be great if you could afford even one of these pieces here! Hmph! If favonovel.com is going to buy two pieces, I’ll buy three! In any case, I’ll buy a piece more than him!”
Marilyn was hellbent on winning the little competition with Gerald.
“Mom, come here and take a look!”
Five other customers filed into the boutique.
It was five women.
Two of them were young and three of them were middle-aged.
Based on how they dressed, it was quite clear that they could afford the clothing on sale here. Of course, the salesgirl dropped what favonovel.com was doing here and went over to serve them.
“Madam Gosling, Miss Yaleman, you’ve come! Welcome! Welcome! There are many new designs in our shop now. I can help you to pick out a few of our new items!”
“No need for that. We’ll take a look around by ourselves!”
Madam Gosling replied immediately.
All of a sudden, favonovel.com daughter started tugging on favonovel.com clothes.
“Mom, all of you, look! Isn’t that, that person?!”
The girl pointed in Gerald and Bea’s direction.
“Hmm? It’s Gerald! Bea is actually here with favonovel.com too? Hahaha!”
Madam Gosling snickered.
That’s right. Madam Gosling was none other than Gerald’s first aunt, Rose.
The other two middle-aged women were none other than Gerald’s second and third aunt.
As for the two younger girls, they were both Gerald’s cousins.
The boutique they were in offered the most expensive merchandise throughout the entire shopping center. Naturally, the patrons of the shop were all powerful and reputable.
Rose felt embarrassed to see that both Gerald and Bea were shopping for clothes here.
“Gerald, stop playing around with me! If you cannot afford it, you should just admit defeat! There’s no shame in that, right?”
Fumes started appearing from Marilyn’s ears.
This was in response to Gerald saying that he’d buy Bea ten pieces of clothing.
Even the salesgirl felt like reprimanding Gerald for fooling around and wasting favonovel.com time.
“Miss, have you just started working here? Why would you even waste your time with such a customer?”
A voice that was filled with insult and ridicule suddenly sounded at this time.
Gerald and Bea turned their heads around to take a look.
It was none other than Rose and the others.
“Hmph! I doubt that they’d even be able to buy a sleeve here! I really have to talk to your manager and ask favonovel.com not to allow such dubious and shady people into the establishment. This lowers the standard of your boutique, don’t you think?!”
Rose said unceremoniously whilst looking at Gerald and Bea.
“Aunt, why are you saying things like that?” Bea asked angrily.
“Why am I saying things like this? You still dare to question me? Bea, let me ask you something. How much do you earn in a single month? How dare you shop at such a shop? Even if you have the money, you should use that money to serve your father well instead. You hate doing that, don’t you? Have you forgotten what I said at the luncheon today?” Rose replied in an insulting manner.
“That’s right, Bea. We understand what it means to be a girl, but you can’t just forget what sort of situation your family is in right now. To think that you even dare to try out the clothes here! What are you going to do if you damage their clothes!? Will you even be able to pay for these items!?”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
Their cousins chimed in as well.
Bea burst into tears as soon as favonovel.com heard their words.
The salesgirl glared at Gerald and Bea contemptuously and said, “Hmph! You’re just pretending to be rich, aren’t you? See? I got scolded by a customer because of you two!”
“So are the both of you going to buy the clothes or not? If the answer is no, please leave the shop. The rest of the customers would like to try these clothes on!”
The tone of the salesgirl was neither polite nor courteous when speaking to Gerald and Bea.
Bea was about to hand the clothes over while sobbing.
“I already told you that I am going to buy ten pieces of clothing. Are you deaf?”
Gerald spoke up as favonovel.com glared coldly at the snobbish salesgirl…
