"No way. I'm going for the most expensive one out there so as not to lose out to her!" Susan shot Yulia's black clutch a look of disdain as she took a crocodile leather bag that sells for six figures off the shelf. Yulia couldn't help but laughed as she whispered in Natalie's ear. "Is she dumb or what, Baby Girl? The purpose of Mr. Lanner's charity gala is to raise funds for wildlife animals. Wouldn't it be like a slap to Mike's face if she chose that bag? Things are going to get interesting tonight."

"Well then, you'll have to tell me all about it tonight, Mom."

"Don't worry, I will." Yulia winked.

Susan didn't know what the both of them were talking about as she walked over with the bag. "I want this, darling."

Harrison frowned when he saw the price. He was about to deny her the bag and get her to pick a new one when her face changed. She wasn't about to let him off the hook if he denies her the bag. Hence, Harrison agreed to it as he was sick and tired of her antics.

Susan threw a victorious smile in Yulia's and Natalie's direction. "Someone never receives a gift this expensive besides being his wife of twenty over years."

Yulia's face darkened upon hearing that.

"Mom..." Natalie gave her a worried look.

Yulia shook her head to indicate that she was fine. She looked at Susan coldly and said, "You're right, I've never received any of those, not that I care either. You should enjoy it while you can." "What do you mean?" Susan felt disturbed by her words.

Yulia ignored her as she turned to face Harrison. "Harrison, you should look into what your wife has been up to these days. I heard that wives of wealthy men like to spend their money on young hunks these days. I wonder if your wife is into it as well?"

She left with Natalie right after driving a wedge between them.

One could easily imagine just how intense Susan and Harrison's quarrel will be in a bit.

"Mom, you're amazing. Susan must hate you after this." Natalie gave Yulia a thumbs up.

Yulia harrumphed. "Whatever, I don't care. Let's go. I want to buy some more new clothes since I'm in a good mood today."

Natalie was nonplussed.

However, Yulia picked out clothes for Natalie instead of herself and even urged her to try them on when they arrived at a clothing store.

Natalie didn't want to dampen her mood. Hence, she resigned herself to fate and entered the changing room with a pile of clothes.

Meanwhile, at the VIP changing room located on the second floor of the clothing store, Jacqueline emerged from the changing room dressed in a white dress. She smoothed her dress down and asked in a soff voice, "Shane, what do you think of this dress?"

Nobody answered.

Jacqueline paused and raised her head quizzically. She started feeling anxious when there was no one in sight in the waiting area. Jacqueline quickly scanned the floor and finally found him by the curved railing.

He was looking down at something from the railing.

Jacqueline pursed her pale lips disapprovingly. Nevertheless, she pulled herself together in the next moment and walked over with a gentle smile. "Shane, what are you looking at? Didn't you hear me calling out for you?"

Shane heard her and turned around. "It's nothing. Are you done?"

"Yes." Jacqueline nodded. She took the hem of her dress up, made a slow-motion twirl, blushed, and asked, "What do you think? Is it pretty?"

"It's not bad." Shane raised his chin.

Jacqueline smoothed her dress down. "It's been almost 10 years since I last wore a dress. I still can't quite get used to it."

"Don't worry, you can wear anything you like once you make a full recovery," Shane said with his hands in his pockets.

"You sure know how to make me happy," Jacqueline said in a coy, teasing tone.
