Chapter 787 Narrow Encounter

Chapter 787 Narrow Encounter

The shop assistant really couldn't explain herself clearly. She cried, "I really didn't mean to look down on you at all. I was just being nice, suggesting you try these things before buying, and then you thought I was looking down on you."

"Isn't that what you were doing? I have money. I can buy things without even blinking. I'll buy whatever I want." Laura's gaze was cold and fierce, her eyes flashing with sharp light.

Facing Laura's unreasonable behavior, the shop assistants didn't know what to say.

Working in this business, they'd seen plenty of arrogant rich people with terrible tempers. Since they couldn't afford to offend them, they could only avoid them. But now it seemed like they couldn't avoid Laura even if they tried.

Laura was getting a taste of power from these people, and the anger she'd been holding in for days couldn't be contained anymore. She simply used these people as tools to vent her emotions.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "I was in such a good mood today, and now you've completely ruined it. I have money, I'll buy whatever I want. Shopping is my pleasure. Why are you butting in?"

Not far away, Maya took in everything, covering her mouth as she laughed quietly, her face full of mockery.

She had also come out shopping because she was bored at home. She'd heard this store had many new arrivals. She didn't expect to see Laura hitting someone right at the entrance, followed by watching her throw a tantrum. It all looked so childish.

Although Maya wasn't from some top-tier family, the Knight Family had always been quite wealthy, and she had the money to shop at these luxury stores. She was naturally very familiar with these big brands.

The moment she saw Laura, she thought she was just a bitch. Even though she was wearing designer clothes, they didn't suit her at all, and she couldn't pull off that designer look.

And the way she was buying things left and right, she looked exactly like some country woman who didn't understand anything and was just buying blindly.

She also knew why Laura was so angry. It was simply because she used to be from the bottom of society, a street thug, and now that she'd finally touched a circle she'd never had access to before, she'd started revenge spending. But she wouldn't allow anyone to criticize her even slightly. Once she noticed it, she'd get angry.

This really fit the behavior of someone from the bottom suddenly getting rich.

Just as Laura was going off on her tirade, Maya swaggered in and made a few sarcastic remarks. "I could hear all this noise from outside. How are other customers supposed to shop like this? Why not just call the police and deal with it?"

Everyone looked at Maya. The shop assistants, as if reminded, finally thought of calling the police.

Laura also saw Maya. Just looking at her for the first time, Laura felt this person was very familiar, like she'd seen her somewhere before.

But at this moment, Laura couldn't think about that much. Perhaps because she'd been to the police station too many times, the word "police" had left a shadow on her. So right now, Laura was already a bit panicked.

"You... what are you doing? Who told you to call the police!" As she spoke, Laura stood up to snatch the shop assistant's phone.

Maya smiled without warmth. "Ms. Davis, this is a society ruled by law. Why do you keep losing your temper and grabbing phones?"

Just then, the manager also rushed over. The shop assistants gave up on calling the police and all turned their pleading eyes to the manager.

"What happened?"

The bullied shop assistant quickly recounted the whole story to the manager. Throughout, Laura's expression was very unpleasant. Her mind wasn't on this matter at all. Instead, her gaze was fixed on Maya.

She didn't understand why Maya knew her and even understood her previous life.

Seeing Laura's reaction was what she wanted, Maya's lips curved into a mocking smile. She walked over gracefully, yet with an air of arrogance. She held her head high, her eyebrows and eyes full of swagger.

"Are you curious how I know you? Actually, I'm very, very familiar with you. If we trace it back, we might even have some connection."

The more she looked at Maya, the more familiar she seemed. Laura couldn't figure it out, but she was certain she'd definitely seen Maya before.

And judging by her manner, she wasn't friendly.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I think you should deal with things here first, and then I'll tell you who you are. Otherwise, if they call the police, your reputation will be affected. Everyone will definitely talk about what kind of wife the famous Vincent has found."

Sure enough, Maya's words worked. Laura, who had been so arrogant before, was now a bit flustered and somewhat regretted her behavior.

She had thought that being Vincent's wife meant she could do anything and no one would dare bully her. But now with Maya's reminder, she really felt there was truth to it.

As the manager was inquiring, Laura could only compromise, though she still tried to act tough. "Fine, I have things to do. I won't make a big deal out of this. Just wrap up everything I bought."

Everyone was confused by Laura's behavior, just feeling like Laura's mental state wasn't quite normal.

But what luxury stores fear most is getting into arguments with customers and affecting their reputation. So since Laura chose not to make a big deal of it, of course everyone was happy.

Although the shop assistants had no good feelings toward Laura, following the principle that the customer is king, they helped her wrap everything up.

Maya smiled and said, "I'll go rest in your VIP room for a bit. Ms. Davis, come with me too."

VIP room?

Laura was a bit surprised. To enter the VIP room here, you needed to have spent over a million dollars. Even though she'd been shopping without blinking an eye, she hadn't spent that much money yet. After all, she'd only been rich for a short time.

Although Laura really didn't want to be led around by the nose, she needed to figure out Maya's identity. So she could only reluctantly follow her in.

In the magnificent VIP room, everything was luxurious, making people feel like they were in a world of money.

Maya sat down, crossed her legs, and looked down at Laura from above. "You're spending everywhere, you really do have money, but you have no idea how to spend it. And the designer items you're wearing don't suit you at all. Don't think that expensive means good. Expensive things also need to suit you."

Regarding Maya's words, Laura again thought this was looking down on her, so she became aggressive again. "What do you mean by that? Isn't having money enough? With money, I'll buy whatever I want."

"Hahaha, Ms. Davis, you really are just like the rumors say. But you should know, luxury goods also come in many types. Like these bags you bought, they're actually all outdated styles."
