The salesperson hesitated for a moment before replying, “I’m sorry, Ms. Maynard, but currently, we only have one of the latest handbags in stock, and it’s already being shown to another customer. We’ll be happy to show it to you once they’re done. If they decide not to purchase it, then it will be available for you.”
Upon hearing this, Luna became angry and demanded, “I am a platinum member at Vior. I have priority access to all your products! Why should I have to wait?”
Her entourage echoed, “That’s right! Ms. Maynard is a distinguished person, and she’s a platinum member here. Why should she wait? Show us the handbag now. If Ms. Maynard doesn’t buy it, then the rest o us will.”
Luna adjusted her clothes, wearing a smug expression on her face.
She remembered how envious she had been of that VIP membership card.
Now, she was the proud owner of one. Why should she still have to grovel and be submissive like she used to be?
Put in a tough spot, the salesperson explained again, “I’m really sorry. It’s on a first-come, first-served basis. I can’t do anything about it.”
One of Luna’s entourage slapped the salesperson and scolded, “Just go and get it. You’re just an ordinary person. Why are you talking to a platinum member like this? If you can’t do something about it, then piss off. We need someone who can do the job properly.”
Having let off some steam, Luna watched the unfolding scene with satisfaction. She even felt a little triumphant.
Back then, when she encountered such situations, she had to play the peacemaker. Even when she was the one being slapped and scolded. Now, the roles had changed, and she could finally exercise the rind she of a wealthy person. It felt good to be in control for once.
Luna looked directly at the salesperson who had been slapped and arrogantly demanded, “Now, go and bring me the handbag. I won’t hold it against you for what happened earlier. You can continue working here. Don’t worry; I won’t complain about you.”
After she said that, her entourage immediately added, “Did you hear that? Luna is kind enough to not hold a grudge. You’d better hurry up and bring that latest handbag here before you lose your job.”
Chapter 998
The young salesperson, who was relatively new, felt extremely flustered after being scolded. She hadn’t been working for long, and if she lost this job, she wouldn’t be able to pay next month’s rent. She had never served a platinum member and didn’t know how to handle them.
Who would have thought that the platinum member who came today would be so difficult to deal with and resort to violence so easily?
The salesperson turned and went to the VIP area nearby, standing in front of Mia. “I’m really sorry, ma’am. Have you finished looking at this handbag? If you haven’t made a decision yet, there’s a customer outside who wants to take a look. Would it be possible for me to show it to them?”
Mia looked at the young salesperson in surprise and commented with a smile, “You must be new here.”
The salesperson replied awkwardly, “Yes, I’ve only been here for three months, and there are still many things I’m not familiar with. If there’s anything I haven’t done well, please let me know.”
Mia noticed the clear mark of a slap on the salesperson’s face. It was obvious that the salesperson had just been slapped.
Glancing at her, Mia asked, “What happened to your face? Who hit you?”
The salesperson covered her cheek and immediately started apologizing, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me for being clumsy. I fell, no one hit me.”
She couldn’t admit to anything now, or else things might escalate, and as a mere salesperson, she had no one to back her up.
Jasmine came out and looked at the salesperson, saying, “It’s obvious that you can’t get a slap mark like that from falling. Was it the customer who wanted to see this handbag? Can you believe how audacious some people can be these days?”
As Jasmine finished speaking, Luna’s entourage walked in.
One of Luna’s “followers” rushed forward and yelled at Jasmine.
“Hey, you! What nonsense are you talking about? This salesperson didn’t know her place. Luna is entitled to priority viewing as a platinum member. Since this salesperson with a bad attitude was dragging her feet and not bringing out the bag, what’s wrong with giving her a little lesson?
“It’s for her own good. This way, she won’t offend customers and get fired in the future.”
After hearing this, Jasmine slapped the follower.
“I’m also teaching you by slapping you now. It’s for your own good, in case you keep speaking this way, embarrassing yourself, offending people, getting sued for defamation, and ending up in jail.”
The follower was angry after being slapped. However, thinking that Jasmine must also come from a wealthy family from the way she was dressed in luxury brands, she didn’t dare utter a word.
She could only turn her head and call out to someone outside.
“Luna!”
“What’s wrong?”
Luna strolled in from outside, with the air of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Her follower ran over and tearfully ranted, “Luna, I was just standing up for you, but that woman dared to hit me! She clearly doesn’t respect you.”
When Luna walked in and saw
Jasmine, she immediately recognized who the woman in front of her was. After all, she had also stayed at Raymond’s house and had thoroughly investigated Raymond’s family members.
She also knew that Jasmine was Raymond’s only daughter who was treated like a precious gem her entire life. She had studied abroad and had only recently returned.
When Luna saw Jasmine, a jealous expression appeared on her face. As both of them were Raymond’s daughters, Luna had been poor since childhood and had nothing compared to Jasmine.
It wasn’t fair at all.
She had always hoped to meet this woman, but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
When Jasmine saw Luna, her face suddenly fell, and she exclaimed, “It’s you!”
Chapter 999
Jasmine hadn’t expected to run into Luna at the mall while she was just out shopping. She had investigated Luna’s background and knew what she looked like, so she recognized her at first sight. This world could be a really small place at times.
Seeing Jasmine’s reaction, Luna strutted over with a smirk.
“So, you know me. It seems you’re quite interested in me.”
Luna had heard that Raymond’s family had heard rumors and had been secretly investigating her. There had even been a confrontation. She thought it was Raymond’s wife who had found out, but it turned out to be Raymond’s daughter.
Well, that was even better.
Dissatisfied with her current treatment, she wanted to have the same treatment as Raymond’s daughter.
Only then would it be fair.
Jasmine’s face turned pale. She was caught off guard as she hadn’t expected to meet Luna face-to-face so soon.
Jasmine snorted. “Your lackey has the same character as you. Indeed, the dog takes after its owner.”
The follower was immediately enraged.
“Who are you calling a dog? Watch your mouth!”
“I’m talking to Luna. What does this have anything to do with you? Get lost!”
Luna didn’t take Jasmine’s words to heart.
After all, Jasmine was just a spoiled young lady throwing a tantrum. She was easy to deal with.
Luna touched the brand-name bracelet on her wrist and smiled. “I know you’re angry, but being angry won’t change anything. My existence is a fact. You’ll have to accept it.”
After all, over the years, Jasmine had much more than Luna did.
“I’m warning you not to get too cocky, Luna, I’ve seen plenty of women like you. You want to be part of the family? Dream on. Without my mother, Raymond wouldn’t be where he is today. Everything my father has belongs to my mother. You won’t get a penny,” Jasmine warned.
“Is that so? But it’s not up to you. Your mother has already stepped back, so everything is up to your father now. When the time comes, he’ll decide who gets what.”
Luna deliberately said this to provoke Jasmine, hoping to make her lose her composure and give Luna an advantage.
Angered, Jasmine raised her hand to hit Luna.
However, Mia grabbed Jasmine’s hand before she could act, advising, “Don’t stoop to her level. You don’t want to dirty your hands on someone like her.”
At that moment, Luna noticed the woman sitting on the couch beside them.
She looked surprised at first, but then her expression turned smug.
“You were the one who leaked this information to Jasmine, weren’t you?”
Mia smiled subtly and commented, “After all, there are no secrets in this world. How long did you think you could hide your identity? You should be grateful for what I did.”
“You’re right!” Luna chortled with her hand over her mouth. “I never wanted to hide my identity. I wish everyone knew who I am. That way, I wouldn’t have to hide and be looked down upon by people like you.”
n
Jasmine angrily retorted, “So what if Mia told me? Do you think your shameful identity is something to be proud of? Even if your identity is exposed, you’re still a mistress who is despised by all. Why are you even happy about that?”
Jasmine thought Luna was too arrogant. Did she really think that being a mistress and having a child would help her smoothly integrate into the family?
Chapter 1000
Jasmine thought that her father, Raymond, certainly wouldn’t divorce her mother to marry such a young mistress.
Luna’s expression instantly darkened. “What right do you have to say that to me? If it weren’t for your mother being the mistress and taking Mr. Shelbert away back then, I wouldn’t be living this kind of life. Everything you have should’ve been mine.”
“Ridiculous. What a joke! You say my mother took Mr. Shelbert away, but clearly you’re the one being the third party now, trying to compete with me for my father,” Jasmine remarked. She found Luna’s words a bit odd.
After hearing this, Luna raised her eyebrows and looked at Mia. “Looks like you haven’t told her the truth. You only misled her into thinking I’m Mr. Shelbert’s mistress, huh?”
Jasmine, somewhat puzzled, looked at both of them. “Do you know each other?”
