Viola's eyes brimmed with tears, and her voice trembled. "No, let's go back to the first floor and pick out a few pieces instead."
As a lady from the Earl of Silverstone's family, she couldn't raise her voice to her mother-in-law here. She could only plead with as much humility as she could muster, hoping they would agree to move to the first floor.
Even the items on the first floor were not cheap. The Golden Tower only carried high-quality items.
Serena clung to the jewelry box tightly. "No, I want this one!"
Viola shook with anxiety, her gaze darting around as more heads poked out from the private rooms, all of them wearing expressions of surprise. This only deepened Viola's sense of humiliation.
How could she possibly come up with almost 40,000 silver coins? Did she have to empty out her dowry and even use the funds from her late husband's pension?
How could she do that?
Viola stood there, trembling and speechless. She had never experienced such a humiliating situation in her life. She turned to leave, but Rebecca quickly grasped her sleeve. Viola's mind buzzed as she turned to face Rebecca's icy gaze.
Rebecca's tone was gentle, but her eyes held an oppressive weight. "Why are you in such a hurry? You need to wait for the shop assistant to accompany you."
"Then…" The shop assistant was unsure of what to do. He had never encountered such a situation on the third floor before. These women didn't want to pay for the tiara, nor did they want to return it to him.
"Should I follow you back, madam?"
Guests on the third floor usually took their purchases and settled the payment later. They either sent someone to The Golden Tower, or had the money collected from their home at a later date. After all, most of them were regulars and well-known nobles in the capital.
