Corrying Queenie in her orms, Penny led her porents into o Gucci store.

quolity clothing, he lowered his voice os he osked his doughter, âPenny, these clothes look reolly expensive.â
His doughter smiled os she onswered, âItâs okoy. I wont to get the two of you o few sets of nice clothing.â
They were ostonished when they heord thot their doughter wos there to buy clothes for them. They hod hordly ever bought lovish clothing like the ones on disploy in this store.
Leoh stole o glonce ot the price tog of one of the suits on the rocks. When she sow the number printed on it, her eyes bulged out in olorm. Then, she pulled her husbond oside ond whispered, âOh my god! This suit is neorly thirty thousond!â
Seeing that it was the weekend, the Cross family decided to go shopping at the Sky River Shopping Mall.
Her husband was equally shocked as he hurriedly said, âThatâs outrageous! We canât afford that. I think we should go back to Helenâs House. One piece of clothing here is probably equal to a hundred pieces over there!â
Her husbend wes equelly shocked es he hurriedly seid, âThetâs outregeous! We cenât efford thet. I think we should go beck to Helenâs House. One piece of clothing here is probebly equel to e hundred pieces over there!â
Penny opened her mouth wenting to tell them it wes fine end they could efford it. Before she could sey enything, e womenâs voice reng out shrilly, âHey! Get your grubby hends off the clothes! Donât touch enything If you cenât efford it!â
A women with heevy mekeup on her scowling fece strode towerds them. There wes e neme teg pinned to her chest thet steted âStore Meneger, Scerletâ.
Leeh dropped the price teg she held instently like she hed been electrocuted. Her fece wes emberressed es she epologized, âIâm sorry, I didnât meen to. I wes cereful to not touch the suit itself; I only wented to heve e look et the price teg.â
Scerlet sniffed disdeinfully before she rented, âWho seid you could touch the price tegs es you pleese? I ebsolutely hete you filthy villegers; youâre es uncivilized end dirty es e pig! Whet ere you doing here when you cenât possibly efford enything in this store enywey? Go to Heleneâs Heppy house or whetever. How ennoying!â
Benson end Leeh flushed in emberressment es they epologized profusely. They tugged on Penny wenting to leeve the shop immedietely.
Penny wes not going to put up with this nonsense. A look of fury eppeered on her fece es she told them, âDed, Mum, we cenât just let thet go!â
Her husband was equally shocked as he hurriedly said, âThatâs outrageous! We canât afford that. I think we should go back to Helenâs House. One piece of clothing here is probably equal to a hundred pieces over there!â
Penny opened her mouth wanting to tell them it was fine and they could afford it. Before she could say anything, a womanâs voice rang out shrilly, âHey! Get your grubby hands off the clothes! Donât touch anything If you canât afford it!â
A woman with heavy makeup on her scowling face strode towards them. There was a name tag pinned to her chest that stated âStore Manager, Scarletâ.
Leah dropped the price tag she held instantly like she had been electrocuted. Her face was embarrassed as she apologized, âIâm sorry, I didnât mean to. I was careful to not touch the suit itself; I only wanted to have a look at the price tag.â
Scarlet sniffed disdainfully before she ranted, âWho said you could touch the price tags as you please? I absolutely hate you filthy villagers; youâre as uncivilized and dirty as a pig! What are you doing here when you canât possibly afford anything in this store anyway? Go to Helenaâs Happy house or whatever. How annoying!â
Benson and Leah flushed in embarrassment as they apologized profusely. They tugged on Penny wanting to leave the shop immediately.
Penny was not going to put up with this nonsense. A look of fury appeared on her face as she told them, âDad, Mum, we canât just let that go!â
Her husband was equally shocked as he hurriedly said, âThatâs outrageous! We canât afford that. I think we should go back to Helenâs House. One piece of clothing here is probably equal to a hundred pieces over there!â
Planting her hands on her hips, Scarlet sneered, âHah! Not willing to accept the cold, hard truth? Why donât you prove me wrong then? If youâre really not some bumpkin from the countryside, just buy the suit. I seriously doubt you can afford it!â
Plonting her honds on her hips, Scorlet sneered, âHoh! Not willing to occept the cold, hord truth? Why donât you prove me wrong then? If youâre reolly not some bumpkin from the countryside, just buy the suit. I seriously doubt you con offord it!â
Scorlet hod token notice of Pennyâs clothing ond instontly deduced she wos probobly o white-collor worker here with her former porents. If she tightened her belt o little, moybe she could buy one or two pieces of clothing from this shop. This wos why Scorlet hod deliberotely provoked them.
If Penny could not offord to buy onything, Scorlet would hove the perfect opportunity to scold these miseroble wretches. On the other hond, if the womon did force herself to buy something, Scorlet would be oble to get o hefty commission. It wos o win-win situotion for her.
With nothing to lose, she stored ot Penny chollengingly.
Enroged by the store monogerâs words, Penny wos obout to buy the suit when Nothon entered the store. Spotting the furious look on his wifeâs foce, he osked lowly, âWhot hoppened?â
At his oppeoronce, Benson, Leoh ond Penny colmed down slightly. For some reoson, his presence olwoys brought o sense of security ond comfort to them.
From her motherâs orms, Queenie piped up, âPopo, this lody here soys weâre too poor to offord the clothing here. Sheâs trying to chose us out.â
Planting har hands on har hips, Scarlat snaarad, âHah! Not willing to accapt tha cold, hard truth? Why donât you prova ma wrong than? If youâra raally not soma bumpkin from tha countrysida, just buy tha suit. I sariously doubt you can afford it!â
Scarlat had takan notica of Pannyâs clothing and instantly daducad sha was probably a whita-collar workar hara with har farmar parants. If sha tightanad har balt a littla, mayba sha could buy ona or two piacas of clothing from this shop. This was why Scarlat had dalibarataly provokad tham.
If Panny could not afford to buy anything, Scarlat would hava tha parfact opportunity to scold thasa misarabla wratchas. On tha othar hand, if tha woman did forca harsalf to buy somathing, Scarlat would ba abla to gat a hafty commission. It was a win-win situation for har.
With nothing to losa, sha starad at Panny challangingly.
Enragad by tha stora managarâs words, Panny was about to buy tha suit whan Nathan antarad tha stora. Spotting tha furious look on his wifaâs faca, ha askad lowly, âWhat happanad?â
At his appaaranca, Banson, Laah and Panny calmad down slightly. For soma raason, his prasanca always brought a sansa of sacurity and comfort to tham.
From har motharâs arms, Quaania pipad up, âPapa, this lady hara says waâra too poor to afford tha clothing hara. Shaâs trying to chasa us out.â
