Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Shelly looked a little diffident. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

How did Eva know about that?

Mia didn’t expect to hear about something like that. She pulled out her phone to

show Shelly her invitation. “Take a good look at this-I’m attending the awards

ceremony because my capabilities got me to where I am.

“I’m not like some people who only know how to pull strings and buy their way in

because they don’t have any skills to back themselves up.”

Shelly’s blood boiled. She hadn’t expected Mia to make it to the finals. She looked at

the evening gowns the salesperson held. “Hey, you. Wrap all three of those dresses

up for me.”

The salesperson looked conflicted. Shelly’s expression darkened. “Did you not hear

me? Wrap those dresses up for me. Don’t you know who I am?”

“Yes, Ms. Barrett.”

“Hold it!” Eva stopped the salesperson. “We came first.”

Shelly laughed derisively. “So what? It’s not like you can afford them. Why are you

trying to make yourself seem better than you are?”

“Whoever told you that we can’t afford them? Swipe my card.” Eva pulled out a credit

card and placed it in the salesperson’s hand. “Go on.”

She’d never been on the receiving end of such scorn in her life. No one in Nord City

would dare accuse her of not being able to afford something!

“Wait a minute.” Mia took the credit card from the salesperson and looked at Eva. “I

haven’t even tried those gowns on yet; there’s no need to buy them. Let’s look at

some others.”

Eva had only acted in a fit of rage because she didn’t want to take Shelly’s mockery

lying down. Since Mia had stopped her, she didn’t insist.

Mia linked arms with her and dragged her over to another corner to check out the dresses there. But whenever something caught their attention, Shelly would

immediately say, “Wrap that up for me.”
