The woman was taken aback by Serena’s sudden scream. As a result, her fingers slipped and the bag landed with a loud thud on the ground.

Serena did not care if she was still feeling light-headed. She rushed forward to look over her belongings. When she realized the extent of the damage, her face turned pale.

“What happened?” Leah asked in concern when she noticed Serena’s frozen expression. The latter reached into the bag for a palm-sized glass bottle. Unfortunately, the bottle had broken, allowing the white cream to leak into her hand.

“My miracle cream… it’s gone…” Serena whimpered, sadness clouded her features.

“I didn’t mean to break it.” The burly woman hurriedly waved her hand and continued nervously, “I was curious and decided to take a look. Your sudden scream frightened me.”

Serena’s expression hardened as she chided, “How can you search through others’ belongings without permission?”

The woman protested, “I didn’t mean to. I apologized for the mistake didn’t I?”

“Can I slap you and apologize for my actions?” Serena retorted.

The duo could not stop bickering and the atmosphere turned tense. Suddenly, Rebecca interjected, “Can you stop being so unreasonable, Serena? It’s just a broken bottle of cream. You won’t be needing it in the mountains anyway.”

“That’s easy for you to say. Who the hell are you?” Serena mocked with a sidelong glance and a poker face. “Oh yes, you are Rebecca. Do you know how much a bottle of this costs? 115 thousand dollars. I don’t think you can even earn that much for the rest of your life. What gives you the right to suggest letting the matter off so easily?”

Serena’s revelation stunned everyone as they could not believe that such a small bottle would be so expensive. They wondered in unison, this costs 115 thousand dollars?
