Chapter 47


    Chapter 47 A 180–Million–Dor Ne


    That night, Grace and Emily met up to collect something she had bought from a luxury store.


    When they entered the store, a staff member immediately recognized Grace and got their manager to attend to them.


    The manager smiled and


    said, “One moment, Ms. Lewis. The jewelry you purchased is so valuable that we still have it in the safe. It will take us some time to collect it.”


    He offered, “Why don’t we browse the other items while we wait?”


    Grace shook her head. “It’s fine. We can browse them ourselves.”


    After walking around the store with Grace, Emily said excitedly, “Babe, there’s not a lot of pretty clothes on the first floor. Let’s go to the second one.”


    She tried to take Grace upstairs, but the manager stopped them with a conflicted face.


    “I’m sorry, but the second floor has been cleared out by somedies. You can’t enter.”


    Grace smiled at the manager. “It’s alright. We’ll leave after we get my order.”


    The manager thanked her gratefully. It was so rare to see a rich but peaceful customer nowadays.


    Grace


    sat Emily down on the couch and started ying mobile games together, but the sound of their voices traveled upstairs. So, Susan Ford heard everythin


    When she looked down and saw Grace, her expression soured. The richdies with her all giggled discreetly, eager to add fuel to the fire.


    “Mrs. Hawkins, I heard your daughter–inw’s famous online. Is that true?”


    “Is your daughter out of jail yet?”


    Rich people had always been the type to kick people when they were down. So everyone made fun of Susan when they had the chance.


    Although Susan forced a smile, her grip on her ss tightened. “Nonsense. Our family’s already put out a statement saying that it’s fake news.


    “Besides, Celia cooperated with the investigation. She’s actually studying overseas now.”

    To Susan, theughter from downstairs sounded like nails on a chalkboard. Unable to hold her anger in any longer, she rushed downstairs.


    Then, she dered arrogantly, “I was wondering who it was. It’s you, you jinx.”


    “You watch your mouth!” Emily stood up immediately. She was about to argue when Grace


    “Ignore her. We have nothing to say to people like her.”


    Grace coolly looked at the manager. “Leave the jewelry. I’ll collect it another day.”


    She had stopped caring about the Hawkins family ages ago, so she felt that there was no need


    to bother with these clowns.


    Meanwhile, the manager checked the time and tried to negotiate with Grace. “Ms. Lewis, your order’s already on the way. Why don’t you wait another fiv


    “Alright.” Grace needed the n*e she had bought for a banquet in a few days‘ time, so she


    decided to wait.


    Meanwhile, Susan’s insults had missed their mark. When she realized Grace wasn’t going to engage with her, she crossed her arms and


    scoffed arrogantly.


    “Can you even afford the things here? They’re not cheap, you know. Why don’t I get you a few things as a show of charity?


    “Once you have your clothes, get out of here and stop spreading nder about our family mistreating you. Just shut up, alright?”


    Emily was so angry, she wanted to fight Susan. “What do you mean by that? Where did you evene from, you condescending hag?”


    However, Grace smiled and raised an eyebrow. “How generous of you, Madam Hawkins. Am I really allowed to pick whatever I want?”


    “Of course.”


    Susan lifted her chin as if she really were an important person, then ordered the staff to take


    care of Grace.


    She had faced manyizens‘ harsh criticisms online for the past few days.


    On top of that, she had just suffered all that mockery from the richdies. She needed a win to


    regain her dignity.


    The clothes in this store were expensive, sure, but Susan had enough savings to handle them. If Grace wanted to go crazy and buy everything in the sto


    Grace looked around, then replied casually. “I don’t want the clothes here.”


    In response, Susan crossed her arms and scoffed. “I knew you wouldn’t be able to handle it. Did the price tags scare you?”


    At that moment, a white van stopped outside, and two armed security guards got out of it with a silver briefcase.


    When the manager saw it, she hastily said, “Your n*e is here, Ms. Lewis.”


    Then, she took the briefcase and put on white gloves before carefully opening the first tier.


    Inside, there was a jewelry box lined with blue velvet. When she opened the second tier, everyone saw a gleaming n*e sitting inside.


    Grace spoke up again nonchntly, “Since Mrs. Hawkins said she wanted to give me a gift, I’ll choose this n*e.”


    Then, she turned to the manager. “How much is it?”


    “180 million dors, Ms. Lewis.”


    Susan was so shocked that her jaw dropped, as did her ss. 180 million dors? She didn’t have that much money!
