Chapter 325 Fighting Back

Most of the people who usually hung out with Shirley were as influential as her. They looked down on

people like Grace, who had at low status but had still insisted on fitting into their circle in school.

So, as the conversation continued, they became more and more impolite.

“Grace, where have you been working recently? How much do you earn in a month?”

“Are you married? Do you have a boyfriend?”

“Do you need help getting introduced to someone?”

Grace remained silent.

At this point, Shirley deliberately interrupted them. “What kind of questions are you asking? Grace isn’t

like us. Every one of us here

comes from a wealthy background.

“We don’t have to work and can easily take over the family business. Grace might even be doing odd

jobs right now! Don’t make fun of her. We’re all very different.”

Laughter erupted from the crowd, but Grace looked down, unaffected by their words.

However, one female classmate noticed that Grace’s clothes seemed

to be limited-edition Chanel. It was quite expensive and not available for public sale.

But how could someone like Grace afford it?

So, almost instinctively, she blurted out, “Grace, where did you buy this fake Chanel? It looks good.”

With that, everyone turned their attention toward Grace. For the first time, they realized she was

wearing high-quality clothing.

But no one in the room believed Grace could afford such expensive clothing.

“Grace, this must be expensive!”

“The quality of imitation goods is getting better now.”

“Could it be a copy found on an off-brand online marketplace?”

Grace didn’t say anything but smiled faintly. From the moment she had entered, she had felt their

disdainful looks, as if she were a clown.

“Well, you can search for it online and see if you can find the same. model,” Grace retorted coldly.

No one had expected such a drastic change in Grace’s attitude. After all, she had always ignored them

in the past.

Shirley put on an innocent look. “Grace, what do you mean by that? We’re just joking. It wasn’t ill-

intended at all.”

The others chimed in, “Exactly, why are you so pissed off? Can’t your take a joke?”

“Shirley, let’s not bother with her.”

“She’s just a country bumpkin who doesn’t understand fashion, unlike Shirley, who I heard will

represent Wonderful Electronics at

tomorrow’s business summit.”

“People attending the summit are business elites from various fields. Shirley, you’re so amazing.”

Grace raised an eyebrow, looked at Shirley, and said, “I never thought the standards for the business

summit were so low these days.”

The others burst into laughter instantly.

“Grace, do you even know what the business summit is? How dare you mock Shirley? You would never

even be qualified to join. Don’t make fun of Shirley.”

Grace looked at the person who had spoken and seemed to recall something.

“You’re Blair Terrel. Your family is involved in real economy trade,

right? Now, with the impact of e-commerce, many of your stores have closed.”

Blair’s face turned pale in an instant.

She hadn’t expected Grace to be so informed about her family’s

situation.

“Stop spewing nonsense. Although we’ve closed many stores, we’ve transitioned to live streaming now.

Many streamers are selling our products.”
