Chapter 210 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

As Mirabella walked into the QY physical store, she felt the warmth and sincerity of the employees, and her mood relaxed as well.

This group of salespeople were well–trained, with warm smiles and polite manners.

The store manager recognized Mirabella’s identity and quickly came over, bowing respectfully, “Ms. Bennett, you’re here, I’m sorry that I didn’t receive any notice and wasn’t able to greet you in time.”

“I’m just here to take a look, no need to make a fuss.”

The manager nodded repeatedly, was Mirabella here for inspection? Damn, he forgot to tell the employees to perform better today, it was the first day of opening after moving into Dawn Department Store.

“I’ll just look around, you go ahead.”

“Yes.” As soon as she left, the manager hurriedly instructed the employees, “Everyone, perform better today! There’s a VIP here!”

At that moment, Yolanda, holding Zachary’s hand, was just walking to the door of QY and her expression suddenly turned sorrowful.

Memories surfaced in her mind.

“Do you like it?” Zachary noticed her gaze, “Do you want to go in and take a look?”

“Zachary, let’s forget it.” Yolanda bit her lower lip, trying her best to hide the embarrassment in her eyes, pretending to be gentle and sensible, “The stuff from this brand is too expensive, let’s change to another store.”

But what Yolanda didn’t say was, because she plagiarized Melody’s work at the award ceremony, QY thought she had blasphemed their brand and had put her on the blacklist.

“Let’s go, let’s take a look.” Zachary pulled her hand and walked towards the store.

Yolanda couldn’t refuse and could only follow him in.

“Welcome to the QY counter, how can I assist you today?” A polite sales associate immediately approached and asked gently. “Hey, my fiancee has got a big dinner tonight, do you have any suitable dresses and accessories for her?” Zachary asked. “Absolutely. Every piece of clothing from QY is one–of–a–kind worldwide, I guarantee your girlfriend will be the center of attention.” The sales associate led the way and said, “Please, follow me.”

“Your store is huge.” Yolanda noticed that the neighboring LV store only occupied three storefronts, while QY took up twenty. “Your rent must be sky–high, huh?” “Actually, it’s rent–free,” the associate replied with a polite smile. “We’ve officially partnered with McMillian Corporation, that’s their gesture of goodwill.” Goodwill?

McMilian Corporation was splashing the cash, providing rent–free accommodation for twenty storefronts.

Yolanda suddenly felt a pang of envy. Being partnered with McMillan Corporation, QY had a bright future ahead, unlike their current predicament in the Melton family, where large corporations had all severed ties with them.

She was a little down in the dumps at the thought.

“Here’s our evening wear section, would you like me to make some recommendations, or would you like to browse on your own?”

“I’ll take a look myself.” Yolanda reached out to touch the new arrivals, unable to suppress her excitement.

The dresses were both beautiful and unique, she could already see herself wearing them, she would definitely shine at tonight’s dinner.

“Yoli, how about this one? Wanna give it a shot?” Zachary held up a strapless dress for her.

Yolanda was instantly attracted, it would be great if she could take this beautiful dress home.

Suddenly, an idea hit her. If she bought it under Zachary’s name and wore it herself in secret, QY might not find out, right?

She would just wear it quietly tonight.

With that, she headed to the fitting room, and emerged a while later.

Zachary saw her in the pink strapless dress, looking sweet and adorable. As he was admiring her, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Mirabella?

What was she doing here?

“Zachary?” Noticing his gaze, Yolanda also looked in that direction, her face instantly turning sour. Why was Mirabella here? Could she afford to shop here?

Judging by her attire, she didn’t seem to be working here. Had she come shopping with the money their father had given her last time? Or was there a rich man accompanying her?

With that thought, Yolanda looked around, but didn’t see Mirabella’s rich man, feeling a bit let down.

Mirabella noticed their presence and thought, just her luck. Just as she was about to turn and leave, Yolanda called out, “Sister.”

This “sister” drew the attention of a few people around them.

“I finally see you today. No matter what, you can’t make any more mistakes. Whatever you want, just tell Dad, and he’ll buy it for you. Can you please stop doing foolish things?”

She finished and tried to reach out and hold Mirabella’s hand, wanting to show the deep bond between them.

But Mirabella kept her distance, her face displaying a displeased expression, “Wasn’t the last lesson enough?”

*Sister, even if you threaten me or hit me, I can’t just stand by and watch you go down the wrong path.”

“I’m going down the wrong path?”

“Do you want me to tell everyone here that you’re shopping at QY because you’re being kept by a few rich men. Even if you don’t care about your reputation, I don’t want to hurt you.”

Yolanda was about to speak, but Mirabella rushed up and gave her a stern slap.

“Mirabella!” Zachary didn’t expect that Mirabella would dare to slap Yolanda in front of so many people. He was both shocked and a bit pissed off.

He figured Mirabella must be green with envy.

Envious that he chose Yolanda over her, envious that he was shopping with Yolanda instead of her.

Envious that he had always been pursuing her, but then suddenly went radio silent.

Yolanda was almost mad with anger at the slap, her cheek swollen and her hair disheveled.

A salesperson who happened to pass by quickly asked, “What happened?”

“I remember Ms. Melton doesn’t seem to have the right to purchase QY brand products?” Mirabella suddenly said.

Once these words came out, everyone was stunned, even the salesperson was dumbfounded. Was Ms. Melton blacklisted by the QY brand? If it was true, why would she still dare to come here?

“It’s you.” Yolanda realized, she guessed it. QY wouldn’t blacklist her for no reason, it must be Mirabella who pulled some strings.

Otherwise, how could QY possibly make things hard for a small customer like her?

“This Ms. Melton behaved improperly, QY has blacklisted her. You can check if you don’t believe me.”

When the manager heard this, he hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, miss, please take off the dress and give it back to us.”

“What blacklist? What the hell are you talking about?” Zachary got furious.

In front of everyone, his fiancée was asked to take off the dress, this was humiliating.

He defended angrily, “My fiancée has always been a loyal fan of QY. You just took this woman’s words for it? I’m telling you, I’m definitely buying this dress today.”

The manager respectfully said, “I’m sorry, sir, blacklisted customers can’t purchase our products, I hope you understand.”

“Who did you say is a blacklisted customer?”

“The lady standing right here.”

Zachary didn’t expect that the manager would take Mirabella’s words so seriously, “Do you have any proof? You just believe whatever she says? If she says I’ma blacklisted customer, would you believe it?”

“Yes.” The manager said word by word with a firm tone, “We believe everything she says.”

This was the first time Zachary had encountered such a situation, but he couldn’t do anything about the staff. This was someone else’s shop, the customers who came here were all elites, he couldn’t let this become a laughingstock, otherwise, the dignity of the Panter family would be totally lost.

No matter what, he had to get justice for this.

Zachary sneered, “Then tell me, how did my fiancée become a blacklisted customer?”

The manager had no choice but to look at Mirabella.

“Zachary, let it go, I will just take off the dress.” Yolanda was afraid that Mirabella would reveal the truth, with tears in her eyes, she was about to leave.

But Zachary was determined to stand up for her today. He held her hand tightly and didn’t let her leave.

Mirabella slightly lifted the corner of her mouth and sneered, “Didn’t your fiancée tell you? At the last award ceremony, she was wearing a QY outfit, but was found to have plagiarized Melody’s music. QY thought she tarnished the brand’s image, so they blacklisted her. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

Once these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Holy crap, didn’t expect this seemingly weak Ms. Melton would dare to plagiarize someone else’s music?

Melody was a badass piano master, she even dared to plagiarize Melody’s music?
