The bag Tessa was carrying that day was a global limited-edition piece from the very brand she was heading to. It was an exclusive design available only to Black Diamond members. Naturally, it would never appear on the official website.
Most people would never even get the chance to see it in person.
The woman's gaze remained sharp and mocking as she sneered. "Stop pretending to be all high and mighty. My boyfriend is offering you three thousand dollars. Be smart and hand over the dress."
Tessa let out a cold laugh. "I already told you. I'm not giving it up."
She turned to the sales associate. "Please go ahead and wrap it up."
"Yes, miss." The associate quickly removed the dress from the mannequin and began packing it carefully.
The couple's expressions darkened immediately.
Tessa paid for the dress with her card while the woman continued throwing insults from the side.
"Seriously, knockoff queen, that dress is not cheap. It's over 50 thousand dollars for one piece. You should have just let me have it and gone online to buy yourself a fake version. That would match your fake bag perfectly."
The man had genuinely found Tessa attractive at first. Her looks and confidence had caught his eye.
But after being so thoroughly ignored and embarrassed in front of his girlfriend and the store staff, his bruised ego could no longer handle the rejection.
Once he heard his girlfriend insist that Tessa's bag was fake, his tone turned just as nasty.
He sneered. "Look at you. Can't afford the real thing, so you carry a knockoff and fight us over a dress? Some nerve you have."
"Exactly," the woman added, full of disdain.
"You could walk out of here with that dress, but everyone would still assume it's fake, just like your bag. Do you honestly think splurging on one expensive piece will make people respect you? They will only laugh behind your back for being so desperate."
Their words were vicious. Even the sales associate struggled to stay neutral. But these were still potential customers, dressed in high-end brands from head to toe. If only they could smile politely and browse the other options instead of picking a fight.
Just then, Tessa's phone buzzed. It was a message from Sienna.

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
