Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia) novel Chapter 6

Chapter

Kenneth had Ophelia’s clothes picked out to be simple and understated, very much like Emily’s style. But Ophelia wasn’t a fan. Over the past few days, she’d been wearing the clothes she brought herselffaded jeans and a slightly yellowish white shirt. In the middle of the luxurious mall, her outfit stuck out like a sore thumb

Still, she walked into one of the highend stores with her head held high, not caring one bit what anyone thought

Inside, the sales assistants were busy attending to different customers, while the store manager, a woman named Serena Chapman, stood idle

Hello, welcome in, Serena greeted politely, though her eyes couldn’t hide the flicker of disdain when she took in Ophelia’s wornout look. She kind of looked like a broke high schooler. But Serena’s smile remained perfectly professional

Miss, the discount section is over here, and the fitting rooms are right this way. Feel free to try whatever you like in there,” she said, turning her back and signaling for a new sales assistant to take over

The new assistant, Aria Williamson, was all sunshine and enthusiasm as she gave Ophelia a quick onceover. Wow, Miss. you’ve got such an amazing figure and a perfect tanyou’re like a natural model. Everything would look fabulous on you. Let me grab something from our latest runway collection that’ll fit you perfectly 

With that, Aria dashed off and returned with a forest green gown. With a subtle embroidered hem, it was simple yet elegant. perfectly complementing Ophelia’s relaxed style

But this kind of forest green wasn’t a color just anyone could pull off

As Aria was about to show it to Ophelia, Serena stepped in with a smirk. Are you crazy? That gown costs six grand. You think she can afford that? Show her the sale items and move her along

Ophelia, unfazed, asked coolly, What clothes are on sale?” 

Serena’s fake smile widened as she thought, I knew it 

Oh, over here. And these too,Aria, still in her element, chimed in. This section has last season’s collection. Two pieces are 15% off, and three are 40% off

Ophelia remained expressionless. I’ll take everything that’s not on sale. Get me all of them in an 5

You want to try them on first? It makes sense, clothes should feel comfortable when worn Aria suggested, still smiling, while Serena’s face hardened in frustration and impatience

Serena, however, snapped, Sorry, Miss, but our store operates on a membership basis. You have to be a member to try on the new arrivals.” Her tone sounded as if Ophelia was going to make them dirty by trying them on

Ophelia didn’t bother arguing. No need to try them. Pack these up. And this row too,” she said casually, motioning toward an entire rack of clothing 

The store fell into a stunned silence. The customers who were trying on clothes and the other staff stopped what they were doing, staring in disbelief. The cheapest item on that rack cost thousands, yet Ophelia spoke as if she were buying groceries in a supermarket

Excuse me? You want all of them?Aria’s

eyes 

were wide, sure she’d misheard

Ophelia didn’t explain. She simply pulled out a sleek black card and handed it over. “S size” 

Aria was too shocked to react, but Serena’s eyes lit up as if she’d just won the lottery. She practically lunged forward. her smile so wide that it nearly reached her ears

That wasn’t just any cardit was a bank card with unlimited spending worldwide. There were less than ten of these in the world. Even if Ophelia’s was a supplementary card, it was still a rare sight

Of course, Miss We’ll have everything packed up for your right away, Serena said eagerly, reaching out for the card. But just as she was about to take it. Ophelia pulled it back slightly and handed it directly to Aria instead

Td like her to ring me up, Ophelia sand coolly, her gaze landing on the gown Serena had dismissed earlier. And I take that dress to the fitting room, please 

Chapter

Serena’s face flushed red with embarrassment. She forced an awkward smile but couldn’t hide her frustration. She knew the couldn’t afford to offend Ophelia and had no choice but to watch helplessly as the massive sale slipped right through her fingers

were Nathan 

As Ophelia stepped into the fitting room, the door barely closed before another pair entered the boutique. They were and Emily

Nathan, I heard this store just got in a runway piece from Fashion Week. I really want to try it, Emily said, her voice sugary sweet, yet with a hint of entitlement

Go ahead, try it on. If you like it, I’ll buy it for you. No need to hold back, Nathan replied, his tone casual but carrying an air of indulgence. Dressed in a garish pink suit that emphasized his tanned skin, Nathan was clearly used to getting what he wanted. Besides, you’ve got that charity auction with Dad tonight. You need to look stunning 

You’re the best,Emily beamed, her waves of glossy hair tumbling over her shoulders, perfectly paired with the elegant white gown she wore. She turned to the saleswoman with a dazzling smile. Could you please bring me that runway piece?” 

I’m terribly sorry, miss,the saleswoman said with a polite bow of her head. But someone is already trying that gown on, and it’s the only one we have in stock.” 

Emily’s expression faltered slightly, a puff of air escaping her lips as she tried to hide her disappointment. Still, she quickly composed herself and pointed to another gown. “Alright, then I’ll try this one.” 

I’m 

The saleswoman, however, looked even more uncomfortable. Trn afraid that’s also been sold, as well as these new arrivals in this section. You’re welcome to take a look at our sale items.” 

Emily’s practiced smile slipped, her face paling in disbelief. Sale items? Did she really just tell me to look at sale items

She bit her lip, anger bubbling under the surface, but her demure persona held her back from lashing out in public. Instead, she lowered her head and then shot Nathan a helpless, wounded look, the perfect picture of a mistreated princess

Nathan wasn’t one to tolerate seeing his precious sister upset. His voice hardened as he turned to the saleswoman. What kind of joke is this? She wants to try on a gown, and you tell her that she can’t? Do you think we can’t afford it?” 

The saleswoman stammered, trying to diffuse the situation, I apologize, sir. If you’d like, I can take down your information. and we’ll notify you as soon as we get new stock- 

No. She’s trying something on today,” Nathan cut in, his stance rigid with entitlement
