Chapter 90 Awkward
Seraphina smiled and sent the voice recording to the shop manager. He looked at Seraphina with gratitude and was visibly relieved.
I turned to Olivia and said with a smile, “Let’s go. I don’t think we’ll find anything suitable today, especially after we encounter the generous Ms. Dros.”
Olivia raised an eyebrow, grabbed her bag, and stood up. She said, “It’s time to admit our defeat.”
The two of them gracefully descended the stairs.
The shop manager approached with the list Seraphina had selected earlier. “Ms. Dros, the total comes to 570 thousand. Please take a look.”
Boom-
Hannah’s face stiffened. Her smile faded as her expression turned cold, and her face flushed with shock. She asked, “What?”
She had assumed it would be just ten of thousand at most. It was something she could manage with a bit of a stretch.
Ramona just cut Hannah’s allowance because of the smoking pipe incident. Her own pocket money wasn’t enough to cover even a fraction of this.
“Ms. Seraphina chose the latest season’s couture gowns that haven’t officially hit the market yet, so there are no discounts.”
The shop manager spoke gently. He looked pityingly at Hannah. She had been so arrogant just moments ago, and now she has begun to exhibit cowardice.
Hannah bit her lip, and her complexion turned pale. No wonder Seraphina had cut off her escape route; she knew Hannah couldn’t afford it.
Jessica scowled as she glanced at Hannah. She cautiously suggested, “Why don’t you call your brother? Should I call him for you?”
Seraphina and Olivia had just reached the door when they heard Jessica’s suggestion. Seraphina remained expressionless, but Olivia scoffed lightly. She said, “Just moments ago, she was acting like a queen, and now she can’t even cover this.”
Seraphina smirked and said, “She certainly was confident.”
Jessica finished the call and walked over to pat Hannah’s shoulder. She comforted, “Don’t worry, Orion will te here soon. He didn’t say anything.”
Back in Orion’s office,
He hung up the phone, and his expression was cal. However, the flame of rage simmered in his eyes. He pressed the bell on his desk, and Ken quickly entered the room. “Mr. Dros…”
“Go find Hannah and pay the bill. Find out what happened to her and report back to me.”

Orion was sceptical that Hannah would have done nothing.
Ken asked awkwardly, “What happened?”
“You’ll find out when you get there,” Orion replied irritably, not wanting to discuss it further.
“Understood.” Ken nodded and left.
When Ken arrived at the store, Hannah had endured enough of the staff’s subtle looks. Although they were polite, she could feel their mockery.
