“Show me that one.”
“I want that too.”
Louisa was determined to mess with Sophie that day. She never liked Sophie.
“This one—”
“I’ll take that too.”
The commotion had even gotten the sales manager’s attention.
“Ms. Yarborough, are you sure you want everything? All these already add up to ten million.”
I know the Yarborough family is wealthy, but I don’t think she has that much allowance.
“What do you mean? Are you implying I can’t afford them?” Louisa’s temper spiked at the sales manager’s words.
“Miss—”
The sales manager shot Sophie an apologetic glance. Ms. Yarborough is a tough nut to crack.
A cold grin stretched across Sophie’s lips.
“Louisa, are you sure you want all of it? Is your credit card limit enough?”
“That’s none of your business!”
Louisa instantly took out her card and set it on the desk.
“Wrap everything up for me.”
The sales manager reached for the card and went to the register to settle the bill. However, she returned shortly after.
“Sorry, Ms. Yarborough, but your card limit isn’t sufficient.”
“What? How is that possible?” Louisa’s expression darkened.
“Louisa, why don’t you just choose one from those?”
“I heard Ms. Yarborough would get her hands on everything that caught her eye. It’s a mere ten million. I’m sure she has enough with her other cards.”
Louisa was caught between a rock and a hard place. Without a choice, she took out her credit card.
Her heart ached when the sales manager swiped the card. This costs me ten million! How long will it take for me to settle the debt? My monthly allowance is only around half a million.
“Does Ms. Yarborough still wants to make more purchases?” Sophie smirked.
Louisa was infuriated at Sophie’s taunt, yet she couldn’t show it.
Why am I seething here while victory is seemingly on my side?
“What are you smug about, Sophie?”
“I’m not smug about anything. Oh, right. I forgot to tell you this store belongs to the Tanner family.”
Sophie had decided to visit a few jewelry stores under the Tanner Group to check on their sales. She didn’t expect to run into the idiotic Louisa.
“Thank you so much for contributing ten million to Tanner Group’s sales today.”
Louisa’s expression darkened even further.
“Have a nice day.”
Sophie was in an excellent mood. Louisa’s dark expression efficiently lifted Sophie’s mood.
“Also, about the ten million. Your father will probably want to have a chat with you about where that money went. If he knew about your actions, I figured you wouldn’t be living your best life in the near future.”
Sophie had a thorough understanding of Louisa’s father.
“Louisa, I didn’t know.” Willow was oblivious to the fact that the store was under the Tanner Group.
Without another word, Sophie whirled around and stomped away. I got tricked by that b**ch, Sophie.
Willow immediately chased after her.
“Louisa, don’t be mad. We can ask for a refund.”
“Ask for a refund? Sophie is still inside right now. Won’t I just be humiliating myself if I ask for a refund now?”
“What should we do then?” That’s ten million. It’s not a small amount.
“It’s fine. At most, I’d live a slightly difficult life for the next few months. Despite that, I can’t humiliate myself.”
“Your employees here aren’t eligible to work here. I’ll give you one month, and if they still behave this way, I won’t keep anyone currently working here, including you.”
“Miss, you—”
The sales manager quickly whispered something to the store manager.
“I understand, Ms. Sophie.”
The day after the next was the shareholders’ meeting. No one was sure who would be the next CEO of the Tanner Group. The store manager didn’t dare to offend Sophie.
“Have her fired immediately.”
Sophie turned around to leave.
Nora’s face paled.
“Manager, she’s just the unwanted third daughter of the Tanner family. You won’t actually fire me, right?”
“Go back first. I’ll see how it goes once the shareholders’ meeting ends.”
No one knows what changes will befall the organizational structure of the Tanner Group after the shareholders’ meeting. The same goes for Ms. Sophie, so I won’t make any decision before the meeting.
Sophie continued her shopping at the Monarch Mall and finally spotted a unique rock in an antique store.
That tiny rock was exquisite. It was clear and shiny on the surface, but inside was a picture of the beauty of nature.
Sophie figured it suited Ysabelle a lot.
“You have good taste, Miss! This rock might look tiny, but it’s priceless.”
“Can I have a look?”
The sales assistant took out the rock and gave it to Sophie.
“How much is it?”
“Fifteen million.”
“Ten million, and I’ll take it. If you agree, then pack it up for me.”
