Chapter 680

Chapter 680:

Eventually, Sadie found herself at a luxury handbag store.

A particular bag on display caught her eye. It looked simple yet elegant, and she could tell the design was also practical. It was just perfect for Isabel.

Sadie entered the store and pointed at the display. “I’d like to see that one, please.”

After a closer inspection, she was even more satisfied with her choice. She was just about to ask the clerk to ring it up for her when—

“I’ll take that bag.” A sharp voice rang out from behind her.

Sadie paused and turned to see who it was.

It was Hailey. Sadie recognized her from the photos she had previously seen.

Hailey was just walking into the store, her face twisted into a look of disdain.

She hadn’t expected to run into Sadie while shopping!

Sadie’s brows furrowed at the obvious hostility coming from the other woman. She had never interacted with Hailey before. Needless to say, this first impression was far from pleasant.

Even so, she was courteous.

“With all due respect, Ms. Burgess, I chose this bag first. It’s only fair that I take it, isn’t it?”

The rest on gⲁl𝗇𝗈ν𝖊𝗅𝘀⧸𝒸𝗈𝗺

Hailey raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest.

“Fair?” she repeated, her tone more haughty now. “Ms. Hudson, you should know that here in Jazmah, there’s nothing that I can’t get.”

Sadie’s expression darkened. There seemed to be an underlying message in Hailey’s words.

“Ms. Burgess, I meant no offense,” Sadie remarked, not irritated but finding Hailey a bit too much. “Since you’re fond of this handbag as well, I’ll choose a different one,” she added, unwilling to make a spectacle over a purse.

She had come to purchase something for Isabel and wasn’t interested in conflict.

As she spoke, she moved to set the bag down.

“Hold on,” Hailey interjected sharply.

Her smirk was laced with mischief. “I’ll keep this bag, but I’m not a fan of sharing styles. Maybe you should browse somewhere else, Ms. Hudson.”

Sadie’s brows furrowed. Was Hailey intentionally picking a fight?

She lifted her head, ready to respond.

“What’s all this about?” A teasing male voice sounded from the entrance.

Both women turned their heads.

Sutton strolled in, linked arm-in-arm with a striking young woman.

Sadie was slightly taken aback; today just seemed cursed.

With a smirk, Sutton observed them.

“Sadie, Ms. Burgess—what an unexpected run-in,” he said with mock cheer, his eyes darting between the two.

The lady beside him noticed the bag and clung to his arm, her expression brightening.

“Sutton, this bag is stunning,” she said sweetly, her tone alluring.

Sutton glanced down at her with indulgence.

“Do you like it?”

She nodded shyly.

“I’d love to have it. May I?” she asked, tugging his sleeve. Sutton chuckled, tilting her chin with a finger.

“Of course. It’s yours.”

He turned toward the clerk.
