Chapter 37

Shelly screeched, “What do you mean the transaction won’t go through? How can

that be?”

“It just won’t, Ms. Barrett.’

Shelly felt embarrassed. She’d bought a number of things this month, so she’d already been close to her limit. That, coupled with the fact that Mia had deliberately led her into a trap, would definitely mean that she’d exceeded her limit.

Shelly put on a serious expression. “Why don’t you just wrap these things up for me

first? Put them on my tab. I’ll settle the bill later.”

“We’re not allowed to do that, Ms. Barrett. All customers have to settle the bill before

taking the items home,” the salesperson said.

Shelly gave her a tight slap. “I’m a member of the Barrett family! This whole mall belongs to my family; would I really stoop low enough to steal these things from you?

The salesperson’s cheek turned red and swollen from the slap. She didn’t know

what to do.

Mia couldn’t take it anymore. “The mall’s rules were set by the Barrett family, Shelly.

It doesn’t matter who’s the one doing the shopping-even if Barrett Group’s

president were to shop here, he’d still have to pay before taking the things with him.

Do you think you’re a big shot by bullying a salesperson?”

Eva couldn’t help finding Mia kind as she watched the latter stand up for the

salesperson, who’d also been scornful of them earlier.

Shelly scoffed. “Who do you think you are, Mia? It’d do you good to remember your
