No longer a pushover

Noelle and Cedric Chapter 88

Xenia's eyes reddened with anger. She questioned, "Noelle, didn't you say you wouldn't use a single cent from the family anymore?" She didn't believe Noelle could afford such expensive clothing herself.

Noelle calmly took out her own bank card and handed it to the store manager. "Charge them to my card. I'll try them on afterward."

Betty protested loudly, "We picked these first! How can you sell them to someone else? We're premium members!"

The store manager courteously replied, "We process purchases based on confirmed payment. Besides, Ms. Liddell may not have a membership card, but as the daughter of the Liddell family, she is one of our distinguished clients." "Daughter of the Liddell family? She's been kicked out!"

The store manager remained composed. "It's just a misunderstanding among family members. Blood ties cannot be severed."

Noelle felt slightly uncomfortable at the mention of blood ties. She hated being shackled by such a concept. She took the dresses and went into the fitting room.
