Chapter 126 Three Years
A sales assistant, caught in the unfolding drama, rushed forward to intervene. “Ladies, please, let’s keep calm. This is a
public place…
She found herself in a precarious position, caught between a member of the Wall family and the assertive Sadie, aware that she could not afford to offend either.
The assistant faltered, unsure of how to proceed.
Sadie, refocusing on her original intent, moved past Isabel.
She addressed the sales assistant, her tone easing slightly. “Excuse me, could you please bring me the orange Kelly? I called
ahead about it.”
Relieved, the assistant quickly brought the handbag and handed it respectfully to Sadie.
Isabel seethed as she observed Sadie’s composed manner.
How could she stand being treated like this?
Unable to accept the shift in their dynamics from three years ago, when Sadie was subservient to her, Isabel felt her anger
intensify.
“Wait a minute!” Isabel called out sharply, pointing at the orange bag. “I want that bag. I’ll pay double.”
She slammed a black credit card onto the counter with force.
Kyla, trying to defuse the tension, suggested softly, “Sadie, since Mrs. Wall likes it, perhaps you could let her have it?”
Isabel immediately approved of Kyla’s words, patting her hand. “Kyla, you’re so sensible, unlike some who lack any sense of decency.”
She shot a scornful look at Sadie.
Hearing their comments, Sadie scoffed. “Why should I? I chose this bag first.”
The sales assistant, caught in the middle, attempted to clarify. “Ma’am, this lady did choose the bag first…”
Isabel’s expression darkened. “If I want something, it should be mine. If I say I’m buying it, she should step aside.”
Undeterred, Sadie held Isabel’s glare. “I’ve already decided to purchase this bag. I’m not giving it up.”
She then handed her bank card to the sales assistant. “Please, proceed with the transaction.”
The sales assistant, eager to avoid any further commotion, quickly took Sadie’s card to process the payment.
Isabel, seething with anger, trembled as she pointed at Sadie. “You… you…”
As Sadie neared her victory, Kyla was determined not to let her win easily.
Scanning the area quickly, Kyla hatched a plan.

“Ouch!” she exclaimed suddenly, stumbling toward Sadie.
Caught off guard, Sadie wobbled, nearly losing her grip on the bag.
In the nick of time, a strong arm encircled Sadie’s waist, steadying her.
“Careful!”
The deep, resonant voice was familiar in her ear.
Looking up, Sadie met Alex’s concerned eyes.
Meanwhile, Kyla, failing to regain her footing, fell to the floor with a pained moan.
“Kyla!” Isabel rushed over, helping her up. “Are you okay?”
Kyla clutched her ankle, wincing. “My ankle… I think I twisted it…”
Isabel shot an angry look at Sadie, her worry for Kyla turning into scorn. “You clumsy fool! Watch where you’re going!
You’ve injured Kyla!”
Alex stepped in front of Sadie, his tone icy. “Mrs. Wall, please mind your words. It was Miss Wade who lost her balance
