In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Chapter 47 A 180–Million–Dollar Necklace

That night, Grace and Emily met up to collect something she had bought from a luxury store.

When they entered the store, a staff member immediately recognized Grace and got their manager to attend to them.

The manager smiled and said, “One moment, Ms. Lewis. The jewelry you purchased is so valuable that we still have it in the safe. It will take us some time to collect it.”

He offered, “Why don’t we browse the other items while we wait?”

Grace shook her head. “It’s fine. We can browse them ourselves.”

After walking around the store with Grace, Emily said excitedly, “Babe, there’s not a lot of pretty clothes on the first floor. Let’s go to the second one.”

She tried to take Grace upstairs, but the manager stopped them with a conflicted face.

“I’m sorry, but the second floor has been cleared out by some ladies. You can’t enter.”

Grace smiled at the manager. “It’s alright. We’ll leave after we get my order.”

The manager thanked her gratefully. It was so rare to see a rich but peaceful customer nowadays.

Grace sat Emily down on the couch and started playing mobile games together, but the sound of their voices traveled upstairs. So, Susan Ford heard everything.

When she looked down and saw Grace, her expression soured. The rich ladies with her all giggled discreetly, eager to add fuel to the fire.
