Chapter 31
Off to the side, Mrs. Klein was secretly pleased. The rich upbringing of her daughter really did give her an air of high-class elegance, so different from children born of mistresses like Stephanie, who were utterly worthless in comparison.
Upon hearing this, Marilyn's face went pale as she quickly grabbed her daughter's wrist and said, "Steph, let's not deal with them anymore... To be honest, I didn't like that dress that much either."
But was it about whether they liked it or not at the moment? This was a crucial moment, and if they showed any sign of retreat, they would be completely finished!
If Stephanie backed down today, Mrs. Klein would definitely continue to bully her and her mother in the future.
Upon hearing her, Katherine lifted her head arrogantly and said, "If you can't afford it, don't make a fool of yourself. Just get lost and never show your face in front of us again. You are not worthy." "Who said we can't afford it? You are Katherine, right? Just like your mother, you love looking down on people! Let me tell you, not only am I buying this dress today, but I'll also buy the entire store! I, Stephanie, can afford that!"
Sebastian, it's your time to shine!
Stephanie realized that she was at a dead end and had no choice but to rely on Sebastian.
She would rather suck up to Sebastian and apologize, ask for his understanding than let the Klein family's mother and daughter get the upper hand. They didn't really owe the Klein family anything. Upon hearing Stephanie's words, Katherine immediately laughed sarcastically, "Hahaha, Mom, look at this pathetic girl! You think this store is some ordinary shop that can be bought with just tens of thousands? This is a huge chain store, you want to buy all of them? You're dreaming!"
"Well, you just wait and see!"
Stephanie waved her hand arrogantly, took a deep breath, and dialed Sebastian's phone number.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Klein's eyes narrowed.
She knew that this little bitch must be seeking help from the Ingram family's young son.
The only question was whether he would help her or not. With his current status in the Ingram family, it would be a piece of cake if he wanted to.
But this chain store had hundreds of locations worldwide, and it was impossible to sell just one. To buy all of them in one breath wouldn't be a small amount, even for a man who liked to spend money on his women. Besides, it was a highly profitable brand, and a well-known clothing company wouldn't just sell it at a whim!
Yet, it was possible that the Ingram
family's young master would ag. Bet
especially since he seemed to still be in love with Stephanie...
Mrs. Klein hesitated while Katherine had already crossed her arms, waiting to see the drama unfold.
Those poor souls, they were just asking for trouble. Just let them be, and they could enjoy the show and see how they would end up.
After two rings, a woman's voice answered apologetically, "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is currently in a call."
Stephanie's face changed instantly. Damn it! He hung up on her!
With no other options left, she couldn't afford to getting humiliated in front of this mother-daughter duo today!
"What, is it that the call couldn't get through or that he just doesn't want to pick up?" Katherine sneered.
Stephanie looked at her coldly, "What's the rush? Excuse me, is there a restroom nearby?"
The saleswoman knew that today's
incident wouldn't be resolved easily. Looking at their customers, it was clear they should not mess with any of them. So, with a stiff smile on her face, she pointed inside the shop, "Yes, it's over there."
Stephanie nodded, "Escort my mother to the VIP area to rest. I'll make a call and be back soon."
She then whispered to Marilyn, "Mom, no matter what that mother-daughter duo says, don't listen! Just wait for me to come back, okay?"
Marilyn felt very uneasy at this point, "Steph, maybe we should just let it go..."
"Mom, we can't let it go! If we give in now, we'll be bullied for the rest of our lives! We've been forced into this situation, and no matter what, have to get this done today. Otherwise, I'll never be able to move past this!"
Marilyn sighed helplessly. So be it.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Seb should help them, he shouldn't just let Steph down.
But what if Steph couldn't reach him on the phone...
