Seeing that it was the weekend, the Cross family decided to go shopping at the Sky River Shopping Mall.
When they arrived at the mall, Nathan had Penny and his in-laws take Queenie in first while he parked the car.
Penny decided to bring them to the third floor where all the famous branded stores like Gucci, Chanel, and LV were located.
Nathan had been shopping with her recently so she did not need to buy anything. Her main purpose here today was actually to buy her parents some clothes.
They had been working hard all their lives for her. Even though their quality of life was a lot better now, they were still wearing the same old clothes they had for close to a decade.
Carrying Queenie in her arms, Penny led her parents into a Gucci store.
Benson and Leah had hardly ever been to a luxury brand store like this. As Benson looked around the brightly lit store with high-quality clothing, he lowered his voice as he asked his daughter, "Penny, these clothes look really expensive."
His daughter smiled as she answered, "It's okay. I want to get the two of you a few sets of nice clothing."
They were astonished when they heard that their daughter was there to buy clothes for them. They had hardly ever bought lavish clothing like the ones on display in this store.
Leah stole a glance at the price tag of one of the suits on the racks. When she saw the number printed on it, her eyes bulged out in alarm. Then, she pulled her husband aside and whispered, "Oh my god! This suit is nearly thirty thousand!"
Her husband was equally shocked as he hurriedly said, "That's outrageous! We can't afford that. I think we should go back to Helen's House. One piece of clothing here is probably equal to a hundred pieces over there!"
Penny opened her mouth wanting to tell them it was fine and they could afford it. Before she could say anything, a woman's voice rang out shrilly, "Hey! Get your grubby hands off the clothes! Don't touch anything If you can't afford it!”
