Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 426

The woman crossed her arms, looking Claire up and down with a sneer. "Get on your knees! Clean my shoes, and maybe I'll let this slide."

"I..." Claire froze.

She hadn't expected the woman to be so aggressive.

"What do you mean, 'kneel'? Don't go too far. It was an accident!" Justin caught up from behind.

He pulled Claire behind him to protect her.

The woman glanced at him. "Oh? Playing the knight in shining armor? You should check your bank account before you try to be a hero. Can you even afford to protect her?"

"She already apologized. As for the shoes, just tell us how much they cost. We'll pay for them!"

"Pay?" The woman scoffed. "Kid, let me tell you something. You can't afford them."

"Claire, let's go! There's no point talking to someone like this," Justin said, grabbing Claire's hand to leave.

However, the woman's entourage immediately blocked their path.

"What? You stepped on Evelyn's shoes and think you can just walk away? It won't be that easy."

"Justin, you should go. This is my problem, it has nothing to do with you," Claire whispered to him.

She didn't want to drag him into this mess.

"Claire, if I left now, I wouldn't be much of a man, would I? I'm protecting you today, no matter what."

Justin's insistence moved Claire.

Just then, Elena and Dylan heard the commotion outside and stepped out.

"Claire, what's going on?" Elena asked.

"Elena, I accidentally stepped on this lady's shoe, and she won't let it go."

Owning limited-edition items was a way to flaunt one's status.

So, that year, she designed a pair of red high heels, perfect for the socialite aesthetic.

There were indeed only ten pairs globally.

She hadn't expected this woman to own a pair. It seemed her background was significant.

Ordinary people wouldn't have been able to get their hands on them.

"Well, peasants? Have you ever even seen shoes this exquisite? Now they're ruined. Look at that scuff mark. How do you intend to compensate me?" the woman asked smugly.

"Miss, your shoes are from LUMEN Studio, and my girlfriend happens to be a designer there. How about she designs a new pair for you? We can consider the matter settled," Justin proposed, trying to find a compromise.

"Pfft!" The woman looked at him with utter disdain. "A lowly designer from LUMEN Studio thinks she can buy me off? These shoes were designed by Aurora. Do you think she can compare to Aurora? You're delusional!"
