Even Rose and the others were surprised by his sudden change in attitude.
His voice was by no means deafening, but the hostile expression Gerald wore made everyone shudder in fear.
“Hmph! You’re still adamant about buying ten of ‘em huh? The cheapest of these clothes cost at least six grand! It’ll cost you tens of thousands of dollars judging by the number you specified. Are you serious about your purchase?”
Rose and the others despised the feeling of being intimidated by Gerald.
Was he really planning to buy ten of these dresses?
Hahaha!
They started sneering as they ridiculed him.
Bea also tugged on Gerald’s arm as she said, “Forget it. Eldest aunt is right. We will never be able to afford the clothes here. I think it’s best if we leave now!”
“It’s okay. I’ve already said that I’ll buy you these clothes! Look, the ones you tried on just now looked A-okay, so why not? Miss, if you will, please help me check how much they cost. I’ll be paying with my card by the way!”
Gerald whipped out his debit card.
The salesgirl nodded repeatedly upon seeing how serious he was about the purchase.
“Hold on. I was not talking to you. I am talking to you, miss. Please help me to pack these clothes up!”
Gerald said as he pointed at another salesgirl who stood at the side throughout their entire exchange.
“Okay, sir!”
The salesgirl started packing up the clothes as ordered. There were ten pieces of clothing in total.
The total price was $120,000.00.
“Hahaha! This fool. $120,000.00. Isn’t he walking into his own tomb?”
“That’s right. Even if he wants to show off, this is not the way to do it. $120,000.00 just to buy some clothes? This is going to be an amazing show!”
Marilyn was overjoyed when she saw the total bill.
Gerald’s cousins started whispering among themselves.
“Hmph! I want to see how Gerald is going to get out of this mess!”
Rose exchanged glances with one another and they sneered at Gerald with their arms crossed over their chests.
The salesgirl quickly brought out the POS machine.
Gerald typed in the password as if he had done this countless times before.
