Chapter 125
“Look who is here,” the lady that had been conflicting Miss William said sarcastically as she looked at Scarlet.
Who didn’t know her when every news had be of her mother? Of course, there were some who were jealous seeing that she was getting everyone’s attention just cause of her mother while their mothers were housewives without no skill to show off.
“Scarlet pretended not to hear her or even notice that her gaze were on her. Her eyes were on this sister of hers. She had never had a sister, only brothers who spoilt her unconditionally, she wanted to see whether the lady was good and worth her befriending, if she wasn’t she wasn’t going to show her so called father any good attitude.
Miss William was stunned when she met the latter’s eyes. She softened as she stared at those eyes that resembled her father.
“No need. After I buy everything, I can’t use all, can I? We can share them amongst us,” she said, making the girls who were eating snacks halt, lift their heads and look at her.
They all turned to Scarlet, as if asking what she thought.
“But we might have the same taste,” Scarlet said.
“Well, why don’t younger sister pick whatever you want then the rest will be mine?” Miss William said without hesitation. She wasn’t interested in any jewellery in the shop. She had just walked in cause her friend stated that there was a jewelry she wanted.
Who knew that the jewel she wanted was what the other lady wanted, causing them to get into a confrontation? However, what really bothered her was the fact that she kept refuting and asking the person who was really interested in the jewel didn’t even say anything, making it seem like she was the one who wanted it.
Since she didn’t want either of the ladies to get it, why not gift these young ladies from Country A and make connections there? She might find something that interested her there and stop being called a useless thing.
Scarlet was stunned when she heard her words then looked at her disapproving, she recalled that she had been just like the latter in her past.
“Scar?” Cate called out when she walked in and saw a group of young ladies confronting each other. She wasn’t initially interested in what was happening over cause no accident could happen but her sister told her that her sister-in-law was present.
She had gone to the mansion which her family were allocated in the premises wanting to have a talk with them. Who knew that her parents would tell that they had a shop here and they should come check on it?
“Sister-in-law,” Scarlet called out when she saw who was calling her.
Her friends greeting Cate and her family before looking back at Miss William and her group cause they weren’t really interested in Cate. What could she give them?
“Are you serious?” Angela asked Miss William and she nodded her head. Angela and the rest were immediately happy and started choosing whatever they wanted telling the salesperson to pack them.
“What’s going on?” Cate asked when she saw the commotion. The person standing next to her started explaining as she wanted to get close to Cate, who didn’t know that Shane had married secretly? If it weren’t for his mother’s death, would they have known that one of the finest bachelors in the city was already picked? However, they didn’t say anything when they saw how beautiful his wife was and knowing that she was from the richest family in Country Z.
“There is no need for that, we are in-laws, you children can pick whatever you want,” Cate mother said when she understood what was happening.
She stunned everyone. Even Scarlet turned her attention back to Cate. She stared at her with probing eyes, and Cate nodded her head.
The face of the young lady who had been arguing with Miss William paled immediately. She regretted mocking Scarlet and not befriending her as the latter had done.
“No no auntie,” Miss William said hurriedly. She wasn’t really used into being given things outside. Maybe just on her birthday when people would send her birthday gifts in hopes that they would form a relation with the family behind her but that’s was all.
“It’s okay,” Cate’s mother said with a smile on her face as she looked at the latter. She knew what had happened at the main house, so she treated the young lady so well.
“No, auntie. Money needs to be added. If you want to gift us, why not design a jewel that fits each one of us well?” Scarlet said.
Cate’s mother was stunned, she looked at Cate as she didn’t know what to do.
“Just do as she says mom. If you don’t, who knows whether she will go home,” Cate said as she had come to understand that her sister-in-law was so stubborn and when she was with her friends, it can only be chaotic. Also, the girls had come out for shopping to lift up Scarlet’s mood so she should help in doing so.
“Okay.”
Seeing the woman had agreed, Miss William sighed in relief. She hurriedly took out a card from her bag and handed it to the shop assistant that was behind them.
“Wren, that jewel…” the lady beside her mumbled softly as she panicked when she saw that the jewel that she wanted had been taken to Scarlet’s group to view.
As soon as she heard her words, Wren’s eyes darkened.
“Heh. Do you take me for a fool?” she asked coldly as she turned around to face her.
“What do you mean?” the lady asked calming feigning ignorance, making Wren snort.
“You befriended me cause of the things I can offer. However, today, you have crossed the line! I never wanted that necklace but when Zippy said she wanted it and started confronting me for it, why didn’t you say anything? Why did you stand at the sideline and watched? Why didn’t you tell her that you were the one interested in it and not me?” Wren asked coldly stunning the lady and the lady who had been arguing with her.
Zippy’s face darkened when she heard it. She wasn’t really interested in that necklace, she just wanted to mock Wren and make difficult for her but that didn’t mean that she didn’t despise people like Wren’s friend the most.
“Hmph. I have always said that you have a poor taste when choosing friend but never believed me,” she said sarcastically.
“I agree,” Scarlet said as she nodded her head startling Zippy as she never thought that Scarlet would side with her after mocking her.
Wren’s face flashed in embarrassment when she heard Scarlet’s words.
“Anyways. Enough is enough. Do you guys know around well? Can you take us around?” Angela asked just as Zippy had opened her mouth wanting to say something. She was immediately infuriated with Angela’s act and glared at her only for Angela to roll her eyes in return.
“I am busy. You guys can’t offer me anything that can make me be your tour guide,” she said coldly.
