Chapter 177 Humiliation at the Store
When it came to flattering Hannah, they simply parroted her every word.
On top of that, the Powells had always publicly presented Hannah as their ordly daughter.
Finished
Within their own social circle, most knew the family had taken back their biological daughter, but those outside that bubble were often clueless.
Now that word had spread that Isabella had been cut off from the family, they looked down on her even
more.
She was probably just some illegitimate child who’d been brought home, rubbed the real daughter the wrong way, and got tossed out again.
They all turned into Hannah’s personal cheer squad, taking turns throwing shade at Isabella, one insult after another–as if she were something dirty, contaminating the very air they breathed just by being in
the same room.
Isabella’s expression remained icy as she looked at Hannah like she was trash.
She couldn’t be bothered to waste words on her. Instead, she simply pointed and said to the sales associate behind her, “Have them removed. They’re ruining the atmosphere.”
Isabella had been browsing for a gift for Margaret at the time.
Margaret had taken her out shopping earlier, and even though Isabella wasn’t really into it, she didn’t want to dampen Margaret’s excitement.
Margaret had wandered off excitedly to pick out some styles for her, so Isabella was checking nearby displays to see if there was anything nice she could buy and give to Margaret in return.
She hadn’t expected Hannah to show up right then and ruin her mood.
She’d already spotted a high–grade amethyst and gold pendant, but she didn’t care for the setting, She was thinking of carving a new one herself and resetting the stones for Margaret.

Just as she was turning the idea over in her mind, Hannah barged in with her entourage, all noise and drama.
Isabella tilted her chin down slightly, her gaze cool and detached.
When she spoke, Hannah let out a sharp, mocking laugh.
She pointed an accusing finger and said, “You’ve got some nerve, sis. Don’t you think that’s taking it too far?
“What makes you think you can just have us kicked out of here?
“And what do you think this place is?
“Some flea market you’re used to hanging around in?

“You think you can shoo people out whenever you feel like it?
“Seriously…
“That’s just pathetic!”
Before she could finish, the sales associate who’d taken Isabella’s instruction stepped forward and said in a low but firm tone, “Ms. Hannah Powell, I’m going to have to ask you and your group to leave the boutique for now.
“Our client is selecting items and prefers not to be disturbed.”
Internally, the associate was panicking.
Unbelievable!
She had no idea why Hannah had swooped in to start drama all of a sudden.
Given Hannah’s reputation for flashy spending and attention–seeking, the associate actually recognized her.
After all, in this line of work, remembering high–profile clients was part of the job.
Hannah, as a Powell, was naturally on that list.
Under normal circumstances, she would never have said something that amounted to throwing a client
out.
But she had no choice.
Isabella had just dropped thirty million dollars to custom–order that high–grade amethyst and gold pendant.
She was a top–tier client–a serious spender.
Thirty million on her first visit… Who knew how much more she might buy?
And the associate had clearly seen the VIP card Isabella handed over–the boutique’s exclusive black card, issued only by senior management, with just a handful given out each year.
It was incredibly rare.
Basically, holding that card meant you had both wealth and influence.
