Mia halted in her tracks, turning her head to face the store employee. “Bring me the most expensive

jewelry you have.”

The employee grinned. “Sure. Here’s our latest limited edition collection. Take a look at them. We onlyhave a set of them in Bern City.

“Alright.” Mia cast Shelly a backward glance. “I don’t think you’re wearing any decent jewelry. Wouldyou like me to ask them to lend you a set of jewelry?”

Such a degrading attitude angered Shelly. “I am Shelly Barrett, Mia Bowen, Who needs you to lend mepieces of jewelry? I have everything I want!”

“Oh really? I remember that your cards were frozen, though. You’re just leeching off your family. Yourliving allowance is only this much. Can you afford these pieces of jewelry?” Mia hit a sore spot.

The past three years were enough for her to tell what kind of person Shelly was and what Shelly cared

about the most.

As Mia had expected, Shelly’s features distorted in fury as soon as she said that.

It was a refreshing sight to behold.

Putting on a haughty expression, Mia left the fitting room.

Shelly had never suffered such humiliation before.

She had always been the person to poke fun at Mia for being penniless, but their positions switchedthis

time.

It was infuriating to Shelly.

Mia’s words rang in Shelly’s head and she had an idea. She reached out to Timothy, but no one picked

up the call.

She texted, ‘Timothy, Luna likes Vior’s latest jewelry collection better. There’s only a set of it in BernCity, but the employee here says that they’re not for sale.‘

She clicked the send button, letting off some steam.

As long as she couldn’t own something. Mia could never own it either.

On the other hand, Mia was in a good mood when she left the fitting room.

Claude was the first one to stand. “Mia, you’re gorgeous in this dress. You look like a princess.”

Liam clapped his hands. “Mia’s pretty and she’s our princess. She looks good in everything.”

Eva was grinning ear–to–ear. “That’s right. Mia looks good in everything. But Mia, why didn’t youchoose that champagne dress? Your back is pretty. You can put everyone in a trance in that gown.”

The smile on Mia’s face stiffened because that champagne dress was tight–fitting. It would reveal herbulging belly.

“I gained a few pounds lately while prepping for exams. My waist grew thicker. I would look fat in thatdress, so I chose this.” She made up an excuse.

Claude cocked a brow. “Wear anything you like. No one will have the nerve to say that.”

Liam nodded. “Yeah. You’re not fat at all. You’re too skinny.”

Mia couldn’t fathom the way they thought at all. She simply assumed that they let their mouth runwithout thinking.

After choosing a gown, Mia headed for a skin glow–up before proceeding with makeup and hairstyling.

While she was waiting for the jewelry, the owner came up to her all nervous. “I’m so sorry, but someone

has just bought the latest jewelry collection.”
