Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 122: Briena Wants Natalie’s Dress

"We just don’t want beggars here. You may be the daughter of the Ford family, but you were kicked out for secretly marrying someone and betraying your fiancé."

Everyone now recognized Natalie—the woman surrounded by scandals.

"And who are you?" Natalie countered. "A leech from a poor family who clings to her wealthy friend, boosts her ego, acts like her servant, and then deludes herself into thinking she’s rich as well? Wasn’t the dip in the swimming pool last time enough to clean your brain of such delusions?"

Lily was left speechless, and Briena finally spoke up. "Natalie, what are you doing here?"

"Just ordered a tasty meal in this shop and waiting for it to arrive," Natalie replied sarcastically, almost making Julia laugh, while others suppressed their smiles to avoid angering any customers.

They knew Briena well, but seeing Natalie for the first time in person—their very own scandal queen—no one dared to meddle between the two daughters of wealthy families.

"Briena, isn’t this the same dress we came here to buy after seeing it in the brand’s magazine?" Lily asked, trying to divert everyone’s attention from her own embarrassment.

Natalie didn’t react, as she didn’t fancy the dress at all.

"It is," Briena replied and turned to the salesgirl. "Didn’t I make an appointment beforehand and request all the new designs of this brand?"

The salesgirl hesitated but said, "Ms. Briena, when other customers are here for these designs as well, we can’t keep them from purchasing."

Briena sighed and looked at Natalie. "See, I had already chosen this dress. Please take it off so I can try it and buy it. I’m sure you can’t afford it with your current situation anyway."

Natalie chuckled. "I’m not surprised that, once again, you want what I have. But I don’t plan to give it to you. I’m buying this one."

Briena glanced at the salesgirl. "Think about what’s better for your shop and who you want to sell this dress to."

The salesgirls exchanged uneasy glances and then looked at Natalie. "Ms. Natalie, would you like to check other dresses?"

"Unfortunately, I’m only interested in this one," Natalie said, her gaze icy. "Make a bill."

"No need, I’ve already paid for it," Julia announced.

While everyone’s attention had been on the young women, Julia had quietly gone to the billing counter and, with the help of her attending sales associate, paid for the dress.

Natalie hadn’t planned for Julia to pay for the dress, but at this moment, she just accepted it and decided to pay her back once they left the store.
