Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2443

Lynette Batton wasn’t the kind of person who liked to show off her wealth, but she couldn’t stand the sales assistant’s arrogance and couldn't resist arguing back.

“Are you kidding? How could two students afford a purse that costs several hundred thousand dollars? I have never met anyone like that while working here for years!” the staff scoffed.

She had worked at the store for close to eight years, but she had never met any student who could afford such price tags.

“That's not our problem. It doesn’t mean we can’t afford these purses,” Lynette declared while rolling her eyes.

“Cut the crap," the staff snapped. "All right, stop standing around. You’re getting in the way of our business!”

To her, the truly wealthy women should be old housewives, not a student.

She also couldn’t be bothered to keep arguing with the young lady when she was adamant about kicking them out.

Leon Batton’s facial expression changed at that point. Seemingly upset, he planted himself in front of his sister to block the sales assistant’s way.

“What are you doing?” she asked impatiently.

“We’re buying a purse,” he answered simply.

“You can’t afford it.”

“Are you sure about that?” he interjected when she was about to continue to belittle him.

“Isn’t it obvious? How could a high school student afford a branded purse that costs several hundred thousand dollars? It’s nearly the price of a house!” She crossed her arms in a huff.

“What if I can afford it?” he asked with a half-hearted smile.

“Then I’ll apologize to you right now!” she replied in annoyance, daring to call his bluff because she was confident these two youngsters were simply troublemakers who liked pranking others.

“Sure,” he responded before pulling his sister into the limited-edition Hermes store. “Lynette, go ahead and pick whichever one you like.”
