After moving into the villa with Serena, Paisley had a peaceful time for a while. Life was fairly comfortable, though Maria occasionally grumbled about things.
During this period, Paisley often received calls and messages from Dominick and the Vanderbilt family. She ignored them all.
Whenever she blocked one number, they'd use another to keep contacting her. Eventually, she stopped bothering with it altogether.
Changing her number wasn't realistic either, as the hassle would outweigh the annoyance of their calls.
At the moment, Paisley had just picked up a birthday gift for Millie, one of Serena's kindergarten friends, and was strolling leisurely with Maria and Serena.
Paisley found it quite challenging to choose a birthday gift for a little girl. After much deliberation, Serena ultimately decided on a pair of crystal shoes just like hers.
According to Serena, "No princess can resist a pair of crystal shoes." While getting crystal shoes wasn't too hard, finding a pair identical to Serena's was more difficult.
Although there was a store for that brand at Harrowfell Mall, Serena's shoes were a limited-edition global release, with only a few pairs available in the country.
Paisley had to call in favors and ask the brand's designer to ship a pair from overseas. Luckily, they arrived just in time, the day before Millie's birthday party.
Maria looked at the box holding the crystal shoes, confused. "It's just a pair of shoes. They're crystal, not diamonds. Why are they so expensive?"
Indeed, they were pricey. A single pair of these shoes cost as much as a year's salary for an average worker. Shoes like this didn't sell for their quality but for the brand.
Serena had fallen in love with these shoes at first sight and insisted on having them. Aunt Marissa had no concept of money, and Paisley was a doting mother, so she bought them.
