Chapter 201

Leanna asked, "Are you sure it happened half a month ago?"

Before the girl could answer, the middle-aged woman said, "That doesn't matter. She got it from you guys, and now we want a refund. You're wasting our time here."

Leanna looked at the ruined necklace. "Do you remember who sold you this?" she asked the girl. "Was it that lady or someone else?"

The girl quickly said, "It was her."

"How much did you buy this for?"

"I-I don't remember."

The middle-aged woman snapped, "What's with all these questions? It's just forty bucks. Just pay up. You own a big store. Not like you need that money anyway. Just give us the money and we'll leave."

Leanna smiled. "I can't give you the money if I don't know how much you paid."

The woman answered, "You're still going to have to pay for wasting my time and energy. Just add it all up. Makes things easier for us."

"How much would you want?"

"Not much. Three, four thousand or so."

Leanna chuckled. "Three, four thousand?"
