Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 155

"Which store is it?" I asked.

My mother owned several shops, including a tea store, an antique shop, a clothing boutique, and others. When she suddenly asked me to go to her shop, I genuinely didn't know which one she meant.

She quickly clarified, "It's Silence. You've been there before."

Oh. It was the clothing boutique.

I remembered taking Felicia to the shop last time, so I brought her along this time, too.

On the way, she was full of curiosity. "Silence is a pretty well-known domestic luxury brand. Most of its customers are either rich or influential. Is someone causing trouble there? That's rare."

I chuckled. "Wealthy people can be quirky. It's not that unusual. Most likely, it's a fight over a limited-edition item. My mother also runs a luxury boutique in Cyelar, and it's not uncommon for wealthy women to get into physical altercations over a bag or a pair of shoes."

Her jaw dropped in disbelief. "Even with all that money, they still fight?"

"Why wouldn't they?"

Her view of wealthy people was way too idealized.

We arrived at the store. Just as we were about to enter, we heard the store manager trying to reason with someone, her tone laced with patience.

"Miss, if the tags are still intact and the item hasn't been washed, we can apply for a refund for you. But in this case, not only have the tags been removed, but you've also washed the clothing. A refund simply isn't possible.

"This isn't just our policy. No store or brand anywhere in the country would accept a return under these circumstances!"

Two store assistants stood nearby, visibly exasperated. "Throwing a tantrum won't help. It's just a waste of time."
