Zora was so angry that she almost screeched in aggravation. But since Becky and Jessie were there, she couldn’t lose face. Through gritted teeth, she handed the saleslady her credit card and hissed, “I’ll pay by card!”
After Zora paid, Becky added unhurriedly, “Let’s help her remove the tags. I doubt someone as wealthy as Zora will return these.”
All the color from Zora’s face drained because she had been seen through.
Jessie was quick on her feet and snatched the scissors from the counter. “It would my pleasure to help you remove the tags, Zora. It’ll save you a lot of time since you bought so many clothes.”
As she spoke, Jessie happily proceeded to cut the tags off.
Becky stood there with a faint smile. It wasn’t until Jessie finished cutting all the tags that she said, “Jessie, let’s go buy some bags in another store.”
Before leaving, Becky turned around and glanced at Zora and Mia one last time. “Oh, how rude of me! Would you like to go shopping with us? That way, you two can buy the bags we want to make us feel depressed and inferior.”
Becky’s tone was filled with sorrow, but she didn’t feel sad in the slightest.
Mia tugged at Zora’s arm and whispered, “Let’s get out of here. We’re going to be late. Lyla might get mad at us!”
Zora was stunned for a moment. When she finally came to her senses, she snorted and said, “I have a prior appointment. Plus, you two are boring. Humph!”
After saying that, Zora and Mia left with the bags of clothes.
After the two annoying girls had left, Jessie couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Oh, my God! Those two are idiots!”
Becky rolled her eyes and chuckled. “Let’s go buy some bags.”
But it was a pity that they couldn’t keep playing tricks on Zora. Becky knew that Zora would never give up the chance to show off her wealth, and Zora liked taking away anything Becky liked.
If given a chance, Becky would’ve set more traps for Zora by selecting dozens of expensive bags, baiting the latter into buying them.
Jessie was so happy that she shed tears of joy. Wiping away her tears, she marveled, “You’re a genius, Becky.”
There was no denying that Becky and Jessie could afford to buy expensive clothing, but it was too impractical to spend millions of dollars buying clothes just to prove Zora and Mia wrong.
