Gabrielle pouted, feeling a bit wronged.
"Grandma, you're playing favorites. If Nate were here, you wouldn't say that. Hmph!"
The mall had ten floors.
The basement levels were filled with food stalls and entertainment venues. The first to fourth floors were for regular shoppers, the fifth and sixth floors housed luxury items, and the top levels were reserved for the truly wealthy.
Mavis and the others went straight to the tenth floor, the exclusive shopping area for the elite.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, a man in a tailcoat and white gloves approached them with a deep bow.
"Greetings. I'll be your shopping assistant, here to ensure you have a wonderful experience."
Mildred pulled a black card from her bag, its edges gilded and sparkling under the lights.
The assistant's demeanor became even more respectful upon seeing the card.
"Please wait a moment. As you're an esteemed black card holder, I need to get our manager to assist you personally."
The black card indicated either a customer who spent millions or someone with significant ties to the Nicholls Group. However, the small "N" symbol on Mildred's card meant the holder was a member of the Nicholls family.
The assistant quickly fetched the manager.
Hearing that the Nicholls family members were present, the manager put down his tea and rushed over, bowing deeply.
"I apologize for keeping you waiting. How may we assist you today?"
Mildred waved him off and said, "Spare me the rehearsed lines. We all know the drill."
"But we…"
She cut him off, "I want to find a unique piece of jewelry for my granddaughter-in-law. Something rare, one-of-a-kind."
Mavis was dumbfounded for a moment but quickly regained her senses and tried to stop Mildred.
"Grandma, there's no need. Nate has been showering me with plenty of gifts already. I simply can't wear them all."
However, Mildred was firm.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
