As Lemira caught sight of Evelina making her entrance, an unmistakable flash of irritation crossed her face.

Fate really was a piece of work! It's like the people you least wanted to see have a knack for popping up everywhere.

Evelina, oozing with an angelic vibe, sauntered over, "Lemmy, you've been away from home for quite a while now. Alaric is just worried about you, which is why he froze your credit card. Don't take it to heart." Lemira maintained a cool demeanor. Having been cut off financially in her past life, she had gone through quite the ordeal.

Now she understood that true independence in finance would bring personal independence!

Jessica shot back, "Enough, Evelina. Quit showing off. If Lemira decided to come back, she could reclaim her status as the Langston heiress in a heartbeat. You, on the other hand, will never match up." Evelina was fuming, her teeth gritted, hating nothing more than being reminded of her background.

Lemira ignored Evelina, turning her attention to the salesperson instead, "I'd like to try on these two dresses, please."

The salesperson, recognizing Lemira, didn't dare slack off.

Evelina, standing sidelines in annoyance, whipped out her VIP card, "Sorry, but I've taken a liking to those dresses too."

Jessica was livid, "Evelina, have you no shame? Ever heard of first come, first served?"

Judy chimed in, "Well, Eve's a VIP member, so she gets priority. Let's see if Lemira has a VIP card to flaunt."
