Chapter 281: Chapter 281

"Wrap it up, I’ll take it."

Serena couldn’t be bothered to say much more to her, she tossed the black card in front of her with a casual yet domineering posture.

The sales assistant was stunned, looking incredulously at the black card in front of her.

She looked like just an overly beautiful ordinary girl, how could she have a black card?!

The sales assistant suspiciously picked up the black card and swiped it through the card reader, and with a beep, the transaction was successful.

This Buddha statue costs a whopping ninety-nine million nine hundred and ninety thousand!

The sales assistant immediately changed her attitude, putting on an obsequious smile, "Alright, alright, Miss, I’ll wrap it up for you right away!"

At this moment, a middle-aged woman rushed in, sharply shouting.

"This Buddha statue was picked out by my young lady first! You can’t wrap it for her!"

The sales assistant recognized her as the one who came with that young lady yesterday.

That young lady from yesterday was dressed in understated luxury, clothed in designer labels, clearly a young lady from a wealthy family, not someone a mere sales assistant could afford to offend.

And this young girl in front of her, although she had a black card, who knows how she got it!

Soon, the scales in the sales assistant’s mind tipped towards Mrs. Langley.

"My young lady spotted this Buddha statue yesterday, but had some business and couldn’t buy it then!"

Mrs. Langley looked Serena up and down, raised her chin, and spoke haughtily.

"Hurry up and refund her, this Golden Buddha Statue belongs to my young lady!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll refund her right away..."

Before the sales assistant could finish her sentence, a cold and alluring voice interrupted.

Serena’s delicate porcelain-white face showed no expression, but just by standing there quietly, she made the sales assistant’s back go cold, daring not to utter another word.

Even Mrs. Langley, standing to the side, was taken aback by Serena’s aura but quickly grew displeased and started complaining again.

"Are you deaf? I just clearly stated that my young lady spotted this Golden Buddha Statue yesterday, don’t you understand what first come, first served means?!"

"Did you reserve it yesterday? If you had reserved it, this Golden Buddha Statue wouldn’t still be in the display cabinet today." Serena’s cold gaze swept across, carrying authority without anger, "If you didn’t reserve it, you have no right to stop others from purchasing it."

Mrs. Langley clearly didn’t expect her to be so sharp-tongued, leaving her speechless and red with anger.

"Even if we didn’t reserve it, so what, today we are set on getting this Golden Buddha Statue! Do you know who my young lady is? Do you dare compete with her for something?!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⚑fire.net

Serena’s exquisite eyebrows lazily raised, her tone casual yet extremely arrogant.

"Today, I’m set on competing with you, so what?"

If they had been polite, she might have let them have the Golden Buddha Statue, but unfortunately, none of them knew how to respect others, so she was determined to have it today.

Mrs. Langley was trembling with rage but couldn’t do anything, so she looked to the sales assistant and threatened.

"My young lady is a VIP client at your store, you must issue her a refund!"

"What does VIP mean? The whole mall belongs to my Serena!" Nancy Sutton strode in, discontentedly looking at the sales assistant, "Serena has already paid, what are you dawdling for, wrap up the statue!"

"I said my young lady spotted it first!" Mrs. Langley, finding herself out-argued, began to make a scene, "This Buddha statue can only leave with me today, none of you dare compete with my young lady!"

The commotion caught the attention of the person in charge, who immediately became tense upon seeing Serena and was about to bow in greeting.

Serena raised her hand to stop him, "It’s noisy, throw her out."

As soon as she finished speaking, her indifferent gaze fell on the sales assistant, speaking leisurely.

"As for you, you’re fired."

"Who are you to fire me for no reason?!" The sales assistant fumed instantly, "You’re abusing your power for personal vendetta!"

Serena: "As a sales assistant, your job is to serve customers, not to look down on them."

The sales assistant’s face turned red from these words, recalling her previous actions, she was left speechless.

The person in charge responded respectfully immediately, "Alright, I’ll enforce your decision! Security, escort this woman out!"

"Escort me out? Do you know my young lady’s status? I dare you to escort me out!"

Mrs. Langley grew more unruly, but with a single indifferent glance from Serena, the security guards approached, ready to forcibly remove her from the mall.

This made Mrs. Langley furious, "Who gave you the guts? Just you wait, my young lady will not let you off when she comes!"

"Mrs. Langley... what’s going on?"

Crystal Joyce had just arrived at the entrance and seeing the scene, asked curiously.

Seeing Crystal Joyce was like seeing her backbone for Mrs. Langley, she immediately shook off the security guards and rushed over to complain.

"Miss Crystal, you came just in time, this Golden Buddha Statue was chosen by you first, intending to gift it to Old Mrs. Quinn for her birthday, but this woman insists on competing with you, it’s simply outrageous!"

After her initial shock, Crystal Joyce gave her a gentle smile, "Serena, you also fancy this Golden Buddha Statue? It seems our tastes are quite similar!"

Hearing how Crystal Joyce addressed Serena, Mrs. Langley’s face turned exceedingly sour.

So, she was the Sixth Miss from the Everett Family who had a marriage agreement with Master Damian... Isn’t she the future matriarch of the Quinn Family?

"Serena, I apologize on behalf of Mrs. Langley’s earlier disrespectful behavior. Since you’ve already paid for the statue, it’s yours." Crystal Joyce smiled, "I guess I’ll have to find another gift for Grandma Quinn. Serena, let’s meet again soon!"

It was only after walking away that Mrs. Langley dared to mumble softly.

"Miss Crystal, in my opinion, you’re a much better match for Master Damian, that Serena doesn’t seem to hold a candle to you!"

"Mrs. Langley, don’t talk nonsense!"

Crystal Joyce immediately frowned, reprimanding her, "I don’t want to hear such talk again, the affection between Master Damian and Serena is genuine, I don’t want any rumors spreading!"

Listening to this, Mrs. Langley felt even more indignant on her behalf, their Miss Crystal was just too kind-hearted, that’s why Master Damian was taken away by another woman!

"President Everett, this is a gift from Miss Serena..."

The assistant knocked on the door and hurried in without waiting for a response from Elliot Everett, but when he saw Damian Quinn and Seth Sterling there, his expression changed, and he quickly apologized.

"I’m sorry, President Everett, I didn’t mean to interrupt your discussion! I’ll leave right away!"

But Elliot Everett’s eyes lit up when he heard it was a gift from his precious sister, "Stop right there, hand it over to me!"

"Alright, President Everett."

As soon as Elliot Everett received it, he couldn’t wait to open it. Upon seeing the exquisite cufflinks inside, his smile was unstoppable, and he boasted.

"How did Serena know I was missing a cufflink? My precious sister is so thoughtful, unlike those other rascals!"

Seeing Elliot Everett’s smug demeanor, Damian Quinn clicked his tongue, dissatisfied. It was just a cufflink from the little girl, what’s there to show off?

The little girl never bought him anything! He didn’t feel envious or jealous at all!

Seth Sterling, watching the commotion with interest, added fuel to the fire, "So did the little sister only send a gift to Brother Everett? Didn’t leave one for Brother Damian?"

"Well..." The assistant looked troubled but still told the truth, "No, Miss Serena only asked me to deliver the gift to President Everett."
