Chapter 49 Snatching The Necklace

Upon hearing this, Mia chuckled and gave Vanessa a scrutinizing look before retorting, “Ms. Brown, it seems you find everything that belongs to others attractive.”

Vanessa’s face paled as she said, “I genuinely think this necklace is beautiful. Besides, this necklace isn’t

yours yet.”

On this point, she was right.

Mia was a VIP member of Dansko. After the staff enthusiastically introduced many styles, they cordially invited the two to try on clothes and jewelry in a private guest room.

Mia had initially come for the brand’s new arrivals, but unfortunately, they were a bit delayed.

Just as the two were about to leave after their purchase, many new arrivals came into the store.

Presumably, to leave a better impression on the customers, the staff immediately introduced several new arrivals to Mia as soon as they arrived, which is how they ran into Vanessa in the store.

Mia sneered. Her expression was indifferent as she took out her card and said, “Now, it is mine.”

Vanessa looked at the necklace with disappointment in her eyes and remained silent. Meanwhile, Mia sat on the sofa and tilted her head to look at her. She smiled and asked, “Do you have any objections?

“Ms. Gatlin, your hostility towards me is too strong. I have no ill intentions. I just sincerely praised this recklace,” Vanessa spoke slowly, her eyes reddening.

Mia sneered, “Ms. Brown, you came from a humble background that can’t even afford a one–carat diamond, but surprisingly, you have a taste for high–end jewelry? It seems I need to learn from you to see if you are as knowledgeable about jewelry as you are about seducing men.”

After a pause, Mia casually glanced at Vanessa’s outfit and said with a playful smile, “Ms. Brown, how many months of salary did you save for this?”

It seemed like a casual inquiry, but each word stabbed at Vanessa’s heart. She clenched her fists tightly and looked at Mia angrily.

She knew that she would never have the confidence of Mia because that confidence was built on countless luxuries. The confidence came from being spoiled and indulged to the extreme.

She was jealous and resentful, not understanding why the world was so unfair from the start.
