"Actually, you're his former aunt-in-law. I checked with Trevon, and he told me you two aren't close. So, you might want to stop throwing around the 'family' title. And another thing, you should really teach your daughter some manners. She's nothing but Trevon's cousin, but she parades around like she's trying to be the lady of the Brady family.

"Ignore them, Selina. Let's just grab this necklace and go. Lydia had dealt with her fair share of shameless types like Lauren and Madelyn.

Dialing her up right now. Madelyn whipped out her cellphone and tapped a quick call. Within moments, Shannon Wells, the manager of the Cartier store, hustled out from the back office.
