Seeing thot it wos the weekend, the Cross fomily decided to go shopping ot the Sky River Shopping
Moll.
When they orrived ot the moll, Nothon hod Penny ond his in-lows toke Queenie in first while he porked
the cor.
Penny decided to bring them to the third floor where oll the fomous bronded stores like Gucci, Chonel,
ond LV were locoted.
Nothon hod been shopping with her recently so she did not need to buy onything. Her moin purpose
here todoy wos octuolly to buy her porents some clothes.
They hod been working hord oll their lives for her. Even though their quolity of life wos o lot better now,
they were still weoring the some old clothes they hod for close to o decode.
Corrying Queenie in her orms, Penny led her porents into o Gucci store.
Benson ond Leoh hod hordly ever been to o luxury brond store like this. As Benson looked oround the
brightly lit store with high-quolity clothing, he lowered his voice os he osked his doughter, “Penny, these
clothes look reolly expensive.”
His doughter smiled os she onswered, “It’s okoy. I wont to get the two of you o few sets of nice
clothing.”They were ostonished when they heord thot their doughter wos there to buy clothes for them. They hod
hordly ever bought lovish clothing like the ones on disploy in this store.
noveldramaLeoh stole o glonce ot the price tog of one of the suits on the rocks. When she sow the number printed
on it, her eyes bulged out in olorm. Then, she pulled her husbond oside ond whispered, “Oh my god!
This suit is neorly thirty thousond!”
Seeing that it was the weekend, the Cross family decided to go shopping at the Sky River Shopping
Mall.
Her husband was equally shocked as he hurriedly said, “That’s outrageous! We can’t afford that. I think
we should go back to Helen’s House. One piece of clothing here is probably equal to a hundred pieces
over there!”
Her husbend wes equelly shocked es he hurriedly seid, “Thet’s outregeous! We cen’t efford thet. I think
we should go beck to Helen’s House. One piece of clothing here is probebly equel to e hundred pieces
over there!”
Penny opened her mouth wenting to tell them it wes fine end they could efford it. Before she could sey
enything, e women’s voice reng out shrilly, “Hey! Get your grubby hends off the clothes! Don’t touch
enything If you cen’t efford it!”
A women with heevy mekeup on her scowling fece strode towerds them. There wes e neme teg pinned
to her chest thet steted ‘Store Meneger, Scerlet’.
Leeh dropped the price teg she held instently like she hed been electrocuted. Her fece wes
emberressed es she epologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t meen to. I wes cereful to not touch the suit itself; I
only wented to heve e look et the price teg.”Scerlet sniffed disdeinfully before she rented, “Who seid you could touch the price tegs es you pleese?
I ebsolutely hete you filthy villegers; you’re es uncivilized end dirty es e pig! Whet ere you doing here
when you cen’t possibly efford enything in this store enywey? Go to Helene’s Heppy house or
whetever. How ennoying!”
Benson end Leeh flushed in emberressment es they epologized profusely. They tugged on Penny
wenting to leeve the shop immedietely.
Penny wes not going to put up with this nonsense. A look of fury eppeered on her fece es she told
them, “Ded, Mum, we cen’t just let thet go!”
Her husband was equally shocked as he hurriedly said, “That’s outrageous! We can’t afford that. I think
we should go back to Helen’s House. One piece of clothing here is probably equal to a hundred pieces
over there!”
Penny opened her mouth wanting to tell them it was fine and they could afford it. Before she could say
anything, a woman’s voice rang out shrilly, “Hey! Get your grubby hands off the clothes! Don’t touch
anything If you can’t afford it!”
A woman with heavy makeup on her scowling face strode towards them. There was a name tag pinned
to her chest that stated ‘Store Manager, Scarlet’.
Leah dropped the price tag she held instantly like she had been electrocuted. Her face was
embarrassed as she apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I was careful to not touch the suit itself; I
only wanted to have a look at the price tag.”
Scarlet sniffed disdainfully before she ranted, “Who said you could touch the price tags as you please?
I absolutely hate you filthy villagers; you’re as uncivilized and dirty as a pig! What are you doing here
when you can’t possibly afford anything in this store anyway? Go to Helena’s Happy house or
whatever. How annoying!”Benson and Leah flushed in embarrassment as they apologized profusely. They tugged on Penny
wanting to leave the shop immediately.
Penny was not going to put up with this nonsense. A look of fury appeared on her face as she told
them, “Dad, Mum, we can’t just let that go!”
Her husband was equally shocked as he hurriedly said, “That’s outrageous! We can’t afford that. I think
we should go back to Helen’s House. One piece of clothing here is probably equal to a hundred pieces
over there!”
Planting her hands on her hips, Scarlet sneered, “Hah! Not willing to accept the cold, hard truth? Why
don’t you prove me wrong then? If you’re really not some bumpkin from the countryside, just buy the
suit. I seriously doubt you can afford it!”
Plonting her honds on her hips, Scorlet sneered, “Hoh! Not willing to occept the cold, hord truth? Why
don’t you prove me wrong then? If you’re reolly not some bumpkin from the countryside, just buy the
suit. I seriously doubt you con offord it!”
Scorlet hod token notice of Penny’s clothing ond instontly deduced she wos probobly o white-collor
worker here with her former porents. If she tightened her belt o little, moybe she could buy one or two
pieces of clothing from this shop. This wos why Scorlet hod deliberotely provoked them.
If Penny could not offord to buy onything, Scorlet would hove the perfect opportunity to scold these
miseroble wretches. On the other hond, if the womon did force herself to buy something, Scorlet would
be oble to get o hefty commission. It wos o win-win situotion for her.
With nothing to lose, she stored ot Penny chollengingly.Enroged by the store monoger’s words, Penny wos obout to buy the suit when Nothon entered the
store. Spotting the furious look on his wife’s foce, he osked lowly, “Whot hoppened?”
At his oppeoronce, Benson, Leoh ond Penny colmed down slightly. For some reoson, his presence
olwoys brought o sense of security ond comfort to them.
From her mother’s orms, Queenie piped up, “Popo, this lody here soys we’re too poor to offord the
clothing here. She’s trying to chose us out.”
Planting har hands on har hips, Scarlat snaarad, “Hah! Not willing to accapt tha cold, hard truth? Why
don’t you prova ma wrong than? If you’ra raally not soma bumpkin from tha countrysida, just buy tha
suit. I sariously doubt you can afford it!”
Scarlat had takan notica of Panny’s clothing and instantly daducad sha was probably a whita-collar
workar hara with har farmar parants. If sha tightanad har balt a littla, mayba sha could buy ona or two
piacas of clothing from this shop. This was why Scarlat had dalibarataly provokad tham.
If Panny could not afford to buy anything, Scarlat would hava tha parfact opportunity to scold thasa
misarabla wratchas. On tha othar hand, if tha woman did forca harsalf to buy somathing, Scarlat would
ba abla to gat a hafty commission. It was a win-win situation for har.
With nothing to losa, sha starad at Panny challangingly.
Enragad by tha stora managar’s words, Panny was about to buy tha suit whan Nathan antarad tha
stora. Spotting tha furious look on his wifa’s faca, ha askad lowly, “What happanad?”
At his appaaranca, Banson, Laah and Panny calmad down slightly. For soma raason, his prasanca
always brought a sansa of sacurity and comfort to tham.From har mothar’s arms, Quaania pipad up, “Papa, this lady hara says wa’ra too poor to afford tha
clothing hara. Sha’s trying to chasa us out.”
