Chapter 325

She searched up and down the entire mall, but she just couldn't find a coat with that same pattern of blue and golden stripes across black fabric.

Just as she was about to give up the search, she caught sight of a coat which seemed to match the image in her memory, on a mannequin inside the display window of a luxury fashion boutique.

She went into the shop and inquired with the salesgirl within, "Excuse me, how much for that coat over there?"

"It's thirty thousand, miss," the young lady answered with a polite smile.

"Thirty thousand?!" Willow gasped. "Can't you go any lower than that?"

Why did it have to cost so much?! If she was the sort of person who had thirty thousand dollars to throw around so casually, then her penalty with Hughes Corporation would hardly pose a problem! She'd leave straight away and seek greener pastures elsewhere, so that she wouldn't have to contend with a dangerous character like Jasper Hughes every day!

"I beg your pardon, miss, but these are brand-name items, and ours is a boutique chain. I'm afraid all prices are non-negotiable." The salesgirl remained polite, her smile never wavering.

Willow gave her a sheepish little smile of embarrassment. "Sorry for the trouble."

Xavier Hughes wore a coat worth thirty thousand dollars?! So this was what people meant by 'money to burn.' It was beyond the imagination of a penniless village girl like herself.
