"What about this card? Is it enough for priority selection?"
The moment the voice cut through the air, the smug expressions on Jasmine and Crystal Chelsea's faces vanished.
Noreen, having just finished her phone call, strolled over with complete indifference, looking as though the fierce standoff in the room had absolutely nothing to do with her.
She walked straight to the register and casually tossed a solid black metal card onto the glass counter.
The heavy card clinked sharply against the glass display.
The crisp sound felt like a phantom slap, instantly shattering the triumphant smirk on Jasmine's face.
Noreen leaned one hand on the counter, tilting her head slightly. Her gaze skipped past the stunned associate and landed on Jasmine, whose face was rapidly draining of color. "I hear there are rules here? How fitting, I am a stickler for rules. Why don't we have the store manager come out and see if this card gives me the right to skip the line?"
With her frequent attendance at high-society galas and charity dinners, she required a massive rotation of luxury jewelry.
Not just at this brand—she was treated as the ultimate VIP at almost every high-end jewelry boutique in Rivercrest City.
The only reason the staff didn't recognize her was because Sophia Cole usually handled her personal shopping.
But the associate absolutely recognized that Black Diamond Card.
It was the brand's most exclusive, limited-edition membership tier, with only three in existence globally.
Two of those belonged to the brand's owner and his wife.
The associate respectfully picked up the heavy black metal with both hands, her attitude snapping into a complete one-eighty. "Yes! Absolutely!"
Without giving Jasmine a second glance, she pulled up the payment system and immediately ran the transaction.
Jasmine, who had been oozing superiority just moments ago, was completely silenced.
Her face contorted into an indescribably ugly expression.
Just to rub salt in the wound, Claire sauntered over, leaning casually against the counter, and echoed flawlessly, "Swipe the card. Don't let her basic card waste everyone's time."
