Serena's presence left Holly at a loss for words. Even putting aside everything else, just looking at Serena in her wheelchair, with a

plainly dressed "relative" in tow, Holly wondered how much money Serena could possibly have to spend in their boutique after

being cut off from the Collins family wealth.

Not that Holly wanted her money anyway.

The Collins family's prodigal daughter's homecoming banquet was live-streamed yesterday, and everyone at the store had

watched with a mix of fascination and disdain for Serena's shameless actions.

Though Holly was just an average sales associate trying to make sales and earn a little extra cash for her family, she didn't want a

dof Serena's money!

Just then, the store manager approached. "Holly, what seems to be the problem here?"

"Manager." Holly started with a hint of resignation, "Serena's here."

Upon hearing this, the manager gave Serena a thorough once-over. "With that getup, Serena, anyone would think you've done

something shady and can't show your face."

Serena bristled at that. "What are you implying?"

"Con, we all saw the Collins family's live stream yesterday. | just don't get how you have the nerve to show up here shopping

today. The Collins took care of you for eighteen years and you tried to take down the true heiress of family. We don't welcome

customers like you. Please, leave immediately!"

Serena was fuming. "What, is this your store? You think you can just refuse service to me?"

"You're welcto file a complaint with our headquarters if you like, but lettell you, RY has had several partnerships with QY.

Let's see if they give you the tof day."

"How dare you!?"

"Blacklist her. She's not welcin this store anymore." With that, the manager spun on her heel and left.

"Yes, Manager." Holly bowed slightly in acknowledgement, feeling a mix of satisfaction and feigned sympathy. "I'm very sorry,

Serena."

"Dora, let's go!" Serena had no desire to stay a moment longer.

Dora hurriedly wheeled her out, indignant. "This is outrageous, Serena! The customer is always supposed to be right. How could

they treat you like this? I'll tell Mr. Martin and he'll sort this out."

"As if | need this shop to survive!" Serena scoffed, directing Dora to another destination—a high-end jewelry store called SHINING

STAR.

SHINING STAR was known for its exquisite jewelry, where even the simplest necklace cwith a hefty price tag. Serena had been

a regular spender here, but it was surprising to see a dozen or so customers still in the store, considering it was just after the

holiday.

As Dora pushed Serena inside, one of the sales associates spotted her and seemed to recognize her but chose to pretend to be

busy arranging the display instead of greeting them. The other associates were occupied with other clients, leaving Serena and

Dora unattended in the awkward silence.

Dora was annoyed. If Martin were here, the sales staff would have flocked over.

"Isn't Gladys here?" Serena asked for a specific associate, drawing curious glances.

Her hat and sunglasses kept her identity hidden from the patrons, who were left wondering who she might be. Her direct request

for Gladys suggested she was someone of importance.

Of course, a few of the salespeople did recognize her but chose to keep quiet. None of them wanted to deal with her and acted as

if she were invisible.

The sales associate, Amy, who had pretended to be busy with the jewelry, reluctantly responded, "Gladys is off for the holiday."

"Are you new here?" Serena eyed her ntag. "l haven't seen you before. You might not know this, but every t| cin,

Gladys ushersinto the VIP room for a personal consultation, servingtea and snacks."

Amy's expression turned disdainful. Nowadays, who in the country didn't know this girl tried to take out Arabella, the true Collins

heiress, and had been thrown out of the Collins household for her misdeeds?
