Without waiting for Selena to respond, the person who took the watch turned away. Selena’s gaze turned cold, Leia’s eyes narrowed, and the clerk froze with the watch still in hand. When they looked up, they saw two young girls, one in a red leather dress and the other in a white dress.
The one who grabbed the watch, dressed in red and exuding an air of difficulty and dominance, was a fifteen-year-old girl. Her companion, in a tailored white dress, appeared smaller and radiated an elegant and soft demeanor. The two seemed like polar opposites.
The girl in the white dress took the watch, opened the jewelry box, and expressed her delight. She mentioned a brother who would love the watch, and Selena noticed a satisfied smile on her face. Anastasia Watts, observing the situation, felt relieved that she had claimed the watch before Selena.
Anastasia handed a bank card to the clerk, intending to pay for the watch. The clerk, confused by the situation, hesitated. Selena instructed Leia to retrieve the watch, but the girl in the white dress calmly asserted that she had reserved the watch in advance and was now picking it up.
The clerk, unsure, looked apologetically at Selena. Leia approached the girl and demanded the watch, but the girl insisted that she had reserved it with the boss and was here to pick it up.
Leia’s expression showed her disbelief, but the girl continued, stating that she was Kaitlyn Riddle, the only Miss of the Riddle family in the capital. She mentioned her brother, Leon Riddle, as the heir of the Riddle family. Anastasia added that Kaitlyn had reserved the watch for her brother’s birthday.
Selena’s cold demeanor remained unchanged. Leia, shocked by the revelation, felt a mixture of shock and fear. Kaitlyn and Anastasia looked smug and arrogant. Selena, silent until now, was expected to come forward and apologize.
Kaitlyn, seemingly oblivious to Selena’s reaction, focused on the watch in her hands. Leia, understanding Selena’s love for Hattie, anticipated that Selena might not let this offense slide.
Leia approached Selena, and Anastasia and Kaitlyn, feeling triumphant, waited for Selena’s reaction. However, Selena remained silent, not showing any signs of fear or submission.
The shop owner intervened, addressing Kaitlyn as Miss Riddle and expressing honor at her presence. Kaitlyn explained the situation, claiming that the watch was a custom-made gift for her brother. The owner turned to Selena, informing her that the watch rightfully belonged to Kaitlyn.
Silent throughout, Selena lowered her eyes, and the clerk, despite knowing the truth, couldn’t speak against the powerful Riddle family. Anastasia, pleased with the turn of events, arrogantly confronted Selena, demanding an apology.
In response, Selena’s lips curled into a cold smile, and under Kaitlyn’s watchful gaze, she slowly turned around.
