Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 24

Stella found herself sitting in a jewelry boutique.

The sales associate, upon noting the plethora of high-end shopping bags encircling her, realized she was dealing with a VIP customer. Her politeness nearly bordered on servility. "Ms. Quinn, this piece just arrived in our store. It's the only one of its kind in the entire Portis City. May I suggest you try it on?"

Stella waved dismissively, "Just wrap it up."

"Right away. And this piece here?"

"Okay, and wrap this, that, and those over there."

Everything her finger pointed at was the priciest of the lot.

The sales associate, simultaneously shocked and overjoyed, her face blooming like a sunflower, exclaimed, "Absolutely, anything else you fancy? Let me get those ready for you." She seemed poised to buy out the entire store with her wealth.

Over two hours, Stella's shopping spree amounted to a staggering two million, amassing a trove of jewels and skincare products until her card finally declined.

Yorick's call came through soon after, from an unfamiliar number, "Are you shopping?"

"Yeah, did you block the card?"

Yorick gritted his teeth, speechless.
