Chapter 381

Third Person’s POV

The manager was offering Gloria a way to save face. If she agreed, the jewelry could be stored under the pretense of consignment, allowing her to retain some dignity.

Gloria visibly relaxed, her iron–grey eyes losing some tension, and she smiled gratefully, tears still welling

up.

But this smile looked kind of pitiful. Even her pheromones became softer.

Before she could speak, Sabrina pouted and left shallow silver–grey claw marks on the jewelry box. “No need for consignment. I’m taking this back to the pack today. You can send someone to our place for payment.”

The sulfuric pheromones turned sharp again, carrying an air of unquestionable stubbornness.

The manager looked at Sabrina and said with a smile, “Ma’am, that’s perfectly acceptable. We have many. more ruby hairpiece designs in our collection. Would you like to see a few more options?”

Sabrina glanced up to see a shop assistant entering with a silver tray.

She immediately recognized that the jewelry on the tray was nowhere near the caliber of what she was holding–it must have been brought up from the first or second floor.

She instantly clutched the jewelry box to her chest. “No, this is the one I want.”

Rosemary was clearly growing annoyed. “Why bother looking at more? We’ve made our choice. What’s the issue here? We’ll go back with your assistant to get a check. Enough with the chatter.”
