Selena, who was trying on the bracelet, raised her head, her gaze dim. Hattie coldly snorted, bringing her reputation as a petulant and domineering woman to the forefront, looking at the necklace with a critical expression, “The color of this jadeite is not good at all, it’s carved from leftover trimmings, the carving is not meticulous. It’s the cheapest thing in this shop, 14, 000 is not enough to pay for my meal.”
She took Selena’s hand, “Selena, don’t take anything from her; I’ll buy you whatever you want from this shop.” She just wanted to let this woman know that Selena had whatever she wanted before she would not value what she gave her, let alone value her. Georgia could no longer maintain the calmness on her face; her face was white, the hand holding the necklace froze in mid-air, looking at Selena, “Selena.”
The boss lady looked up at the necklace. Hattie was certainly spoilt, but there was one thing she had said that was true. This necklace was not good enough for Selena. The jewelry is picky, and Selena is a rich lady, and there is not a single item on her body that has cost less than 100, 000. She is so beautiful and has such an outstanding temperament that the sudden appearance of a necklace sold as an incidental item will only bring her down a notch. Georgia, though well-meaning, is suspicious of not recognizing the difference in status between the two.
The boss lady looked meaningfully at Georgia and didn’t say anything. But not everyone thought as she did, and when others around her were browsing the jewelry shop, some of them, hearing Hattie’s words, could not help but speak out in accusation at once.
“Girl, you’re wrong about that. The gift is cheap, but it’s still a piece of the other person’s heart, not something to be trampled on like that.”
“Do you know how long it takes for an orphan to work and study to save up fourteen thousand? Even though you come from a wealthy background, you can’t look down on people like that.”
“I see that you are a teenager, even though your family is spoiling you, you should be understanding. You are rich, but your money is not earned by yourself. You spend your family’s money to despise those who struggle hard with their own hands, this kind of behavior is not right.”
“Miss, you should educate your sister properly; she has such a nature, if you don’t teach her to know good and bad now, when she grows up in the future, she will definitely be tortured by the social reality.”
Apart from the boss lady, the way everyone else looked at Hattie was one of contempt, as if they were looking at a naughty child who did not know the plight of others and was spoilt and domineering. Hattie glanced at Georgia and put on an unhappy face but didn’t say anything, only holding Selena’s hand tighter. Knowing that Hattie did not like her, Georgia did not put up a strong fight either. Her target, after all, was only Selena.
