Chapter 1393

“You don’t have enough money? Why did you enter our store in the first place?”

“If you don’t have the money, shop at thrift shops instead. Why are you here pretending to be someone rich?”

“I don’t care. You’ve already tried it, so you need to buy it. You must scrape up enough money even if you have to sell your body.”

The salespeople were so loud and attracted the attention of the other customers.

Only the elite, successful, and wealthy women would come and shop here.

After getting to know the situation, they started mocking Emily too.

“How dare you shop here if you don’t have money? That’s very bold of you.”

“I’ve seen plenty of women like her.”

“Ha! People like her are the reason we socialites get a bad reputation.”

Emily’s head drooped in embarrassment.

Once, she was a wealthy woman who led a lavish lifestyle and used only luxury goods.

Yet, she was now being mocked by others.

What a joke. I feel like an ugly duckling that is being despised by everyone else. This is so humiliating.

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide inside.

When everyone was still criticizing her, suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in from the entrance.

The crowd turned to look at the entrance instinctively and was shocked by what they saw.

The store’s glass door was wide open as two groups of armed individuals barged into the store and surrounded everyone.

Then, a charming gentleman walked into the store under the escort of ten bodyguards.

Each bodyguard had a passcode-locked briefcase with them.

It was a grand sight indeed.

The crowd was stunned and started wondering who this young man was.

This young man was none other than Julian Thisleton who came for Zeke’s ex-girlfriend, Emily.

Julian’s grand entrance terrified the salesperson, but she suppressed her fear and went to greet him professionally.

“Welcome, Sir. How may I help you?”

Julian’s reply was curt. “Get lost!”

The salesperson was astounded by his reply and immediately got out of his way.

Julian swept his gaze across the crowd before landing on Emily.

A smile crept across his face as he walked up to her.

Meanwhile, Emily was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Her first thought was that Zeke had sent these men to chase her out of Atheville.

She knew Zeke was the Great Marshal, a big shot in the military, so he could mobilize the soldiers easily.

She was so shocked that she staggered backward. To her surprise, Julian came to her and took her hand gently.

“Silly girl, why didn’t you bring money when you came here? I am here to deliver money to you.”

Emily was confused. What is going on?

I don’t even know who you are. Why did you call me ‘silly girl’?

Plus, why would you even give me money?

Julian looked at his ten bodyguards and they immediately unlocked their briefcases.

Inside the briefcases were stacks of bills arranged neatly!

Under Julian’s order, the bodyguards poured all the cash on the floor.

The stacks of bills piled up into a hill on the ground, forming a shocking sight.

Julian just smiled. “Silly girl, why didn’t you tell me you like the clothes in this store? I could’ve bought up the entire store. Maybe even the whole street if you have told me in advance.”

He turned to the salesperson. “Where’s your boss? I want to buy this store from him.”

Silence ensued.

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Julian and Emily.

Sure enough, ‘money speaks louder than actions’.

He is flanked by ten bodyguards, and even the military has cleared a path for him too.

Right now, his money is left piling up on the floor.

He is even going to buy this entire store because she liked something in the store.

Looks like she isn’t an ugly duckling, but a swan instead.

We might be elites and socialites, but...
