Chapter 110


    Standing amidst the plethora of luxury goods, Skr felt like a fish out of water, fully aware of how


    underdressed she was at the moment.


    Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from the distance. “Skr? Oh wow, it’s really you.”


    Her heart practically stopped when she saw who the voice belonged to. “Hey, you there? Did you forget


    me? I’m Erica.” Thedy waved, stering a seemingly cordial smile on her face.


    Of course I remember you, Erica Fox. Skr’s face instantly darkened as a wave of unpleasant


    memories came flooding back.


    Erica was Skr’s high school ssmate. But far from being chummy buddies, Skr avoided Erica like


    the gue. Her disdain for the girl was simple – Erica was an egocentric school bully who thought that


    she could do anything she wanted just because she had a rich boyfriend and a pretty face.


    If any girl offended her, she swore to make life hellish for the person. Unfortunately, Skr happened to


    be one of those girls.


    The incident began when Skr was rushing for ss, only to bump into Erica by ident.


    Consequently, thetter girl’s coffee spilled everywhere. “Jeez. Do you have no eyes? Clean this mess


    up, now! With your mouth, that is.” The steadfast Skr refused to submit to the threat.


    A fight thus ensued, and the result was a two-month hospitalization bill for the outnumbered Skr. Erica


    had her gang with her, while the poor victim had no one.


    Her grandmother confronted the school management, hoping to get some form of justice for the piteous


    grandchild. Unfortunately, they merely turned a blind eye to the issue. That was when Skr decided


    once and for all that she was going to work hard and be sessful in the future, so that she did not have


    to suffer from such indignance anymore.


    “No reply. Tsk. Rude as ever.” Erica’s annoyance brought Skr back to reality.


    Thedy grimaced internally. Of all people I can meet… Why must it be her? Skr had absolutely no


    intention to greet her ex-ssmate.


    As she was unable to elicit any reaction from Skr, Erica turned to her boyfriend instead. Skr


    recognized the man to be the same boyfriend Erica was dating since high school. “This is Skr Jones.


    We were high school ssmates, and she went to the Southwood Film Academy after we graduated.”


    Then, with a scoff, she continued, “Don’t you think that’s hrious? Someone with no money or


    background trying to make it big in the entertainment industry, daydreaming about buying a Hermès… I


    really pity her grandmother. It’s not easy for her to raise such a foolish grandchild.”


    Yup, this person hasn’t changed a single bit. Skr began plotting a thousand ways to leave this


    conversation, but Erica’s boyfriend gave a response that stopped her.


    The spindly, but otherwise handsome man eyed her from head and toe andplimented, “I guess the


    saying is true – the arts academies are where all the beautifuldies gather… “


    Skr inadvertently felt ttered, though the man’s indecorous eyes lingered on her body for longer than


    she liked. On the other hand, his girlfriend was evidently trying her best not tobust in public.


    Erica had always regarded Skr as a maniptive vixen who only knew how to bewitch men with her


    good looks. Now that her boyfriend had joined in on the udits, she could not help but feeltled.


    “What use is there for beauty if she’s penniless!” Then, turning to Skr, she sneered, “I doubt you can


    afford anything in this ce. I can’t believe you had the confidence to even walk into this store in the first


    ce.”

    Skr had long been immune to such attacks. Equably, she replied, “Is there a problem with window


    shopping? I don’t recall it being illegal… Unless you own the store and prohibit customers from doing


    so?”


    In terms of verbal sparring, Erica was no match for Skr. She hissed, deciding to humiliate Skr


    another way. Turning to her boyfriend, she purred, “Babe, can you get me that Hermès bag over there?


    I’ve been eyeing it for a really long time.”


    Without qualms, her boyfriend fished out his stacked wallet and pulled out his tinum card. However,


    he then unted his card deliberately before Skr, even winking at her at some point to get her


    attention.


    This made Erica even more livid. The more riled up she was, the more cruel her words became.


    “As you can see, Skr Jones, this store is better suited for people like us. As for you, maybe try


    dressing better the next time before fooling your way into stores like these. This store’s owner may be


    kind enough not to evict you, but you can’t say the same for the others.”


    Skr’s cool demeanor finally cracked.


    Pointing at the Hermès handbag the man was holding, she bellowed, “You haven’t paid for that right? I


    want it!”


    He paused, skepticism and displeasure written all over his face. “Um, do you know how much this


    costs?”


    From the side came Erica’s unrestrainedughter. “Dude, you’re going to go bankrupt.”


    “Yeah, sure thing.” Skr rolled her eyes and proceeded to retrieve the ck card that Tobias gave her.


    Passing it to the cashier, she ordered with the utmostposure, “Get this wrapped up for me.”
