Risa felt her face heating up. She can’t let Jessica go scout free. She glared at her then looking at Jessica checking on the dress in her hand carefully and dedicated an idea struck her.

"I need that gown," Risa smirked. The assistant was confused glancing between Risa and Jessica.

"Are you sure you want this dress, Risa?"

Jessica twirled the gown in her hand, inspecting the fabric with a thoughtful expression before turning to Risa. A sly smile tugged at her lips.

"Are you sure you want this gown, Risa?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.

Risa scoffed, arms crossed over her chest. "Of course. Why? You think I can’t afford it?"

Risa felt Jessica might be out of her mind to question here besides, she has her own account different from the Brown family. Certainly, she can prove her worth.

Jessica chuckled softly, eyes gleaming with amusement. "Not at all. I just want to be sure. So, do you want to pay for it, or should I?"

Risa’s smirk widened, her confidence radiating. "Obviously, I can pay for my own things." She pulled out her credit card and flicked it between her fingers arrogantly.

Jessica covered her mouth and laughed lightly. She didn’t want to admit it but it seems Risa is unaware of the real situation of the Brown family but then she don’t mind satisfying her ego.

Pamela, watching the exchange, leaned against a nearby rack, her lips curled into a smirk. "Oh, this should be interesting," she murmured under her breath.

Jessica gave a small shrug and handed the gown to the sales assistant. "Alright then. She’ll be taking this."

Risa stepped forward, tossing her card onto the counter, her expression smug. "Go ahead. Charge it."

The assistant glanced at her and swiped the card, but within seconds, an error popped up on the screen. The smile on Risa’s face faltered slightly.
