Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 50

In the evening, Penelope asked Megan to accompany her to pick up things at a luxury store.

As soon as they entered the store, after the staff learned that it was Penelope, they immediately sent an account manager to attend to her.

The account manager smiled and said, "Miss Reed, wait a moment. The jewelry you ordered is still in the safe because it is too expensive. We need time to get it. I'll accompany you to select other things first."

Penelope nodded slightly, "It's okay, take the lead."

Megan and Penelope walked around. lacking interest, Megan said, "Baby, the clothes on the first floor don't look very good. They are all outdated. Let's go to the second floor to check other sections."

With that said, she pulled Penelope towards the second floor.

At that moment, the account manager awkwardly said, "I'm really sorry; several ladies are currently occupying the second floor. It's not convenient for you to go in and select now."

Penelope smiled faintly at the account manager and said, "It's okay, then we'll take the jewelry and leave."

The account manager gratefully thanked her. It was rare to see such an affluent customer who didn't take the initiative to cause trouble.

Penelope pulled Megan to sit on the sofa, and the two of them happily played mini-games. The conversation between the two downstairs echoed through the hollow stairs upstairs and was heard by Melissa.

She looked down through the glass and realized that it was Penelope, and her expression suddenly changed.

On the side, a noble lady who was walking beside Melissa covered her mouth and snickered, not forgetting to pass a mocking statement, "Mrs. Archer, I heard that your family's mean ex-wife has become famous online. Is this true?"

"Your daughter, Danna, was also taken away by the police. Is she out now?"

The rich circle is a place where everyone flatters the superior and suppresses the inferior. So, everyone seizes the opportunity to poke Melissa's sore spot.

Melissa smiled perfunctorily as she clutched the glass of water in her hand tighter, "How could that be? The Archer family made a statement concerning this a while ago. It was all nonsense. Danna was just helping with the police investigation and is currently studying abroad for the time being.”

At that moment, the laughter downstairs became particularly piercing to Melissa's ears. She couldn't hold back her anger for a moment. She rushed downstairs, arrogantly shouting at Penelope and Megan, “I was wondering who the mannerless individuals laughing like hyenas were. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be you, the witch broomstick."

"Why do you have such a bad mouth!" Megan immediately stood up and was about to step forward to argue, but Penelope calmly stopped her.

"Don't pay attention to her. There's nothing to say to this kind of person."

Penelope was indifferent. She glanced at the account manager and said, "Let's save the stuff for now. I'll come pick it up another day."

Penelope has long thought that people and things related to the Archer family don't matter and that there is no need to care about the clowns.

The account manager looked at the time and discussed with Penelope, "Miss Reed, they are already on their way. Why don't you wait another five minutes?"

Melissa crossed her arms and sneered, "It's really something that you can't bring to the table. A little amount of money just scared you."

At that moment, a white escort van was parked outside, and two armed escorts came down from it carrying a silver suitcase.

The account manager took a look and quickly said, "Miss Reed, the stuff has arrived."

Then, he took the suitcase, put on white gloves, and carefully opened the first layer, revealing a sapphire velvet jewelry box. Then he opened the second layer, and a dazzling necklace lay quietly inside.

Penelope's eyes were calm, "Mrs. Archer said she wanted to give me something, so this necklace will be fine."

She turned to the account manager and asked, "How much is it?"

"Miss Reed, the total is 180 million dollars."

Melissa was so spooked that she dropped her glass of water, her mouth wide open in shock.

One hundred and eighty million dollars!

She doesn't have that much money!
