Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy-Chapter 401: Fleeced for Nothing

In a tastefully decorated jewelry boutique, salespeople in matching uniforms bore professional smiles as they welcomed customers entering the store.

"Brooke, this jewelry store is invested in by the Grant Family. Let’s go in and have a look."

Amelia Miles and Sarah Moore stood outside, Amelia Miles said with a smile.

"Keeping it in the family, huh?"

Sarah Moore made a playful remark and was about to enter with Amelia Miles.

But her gaze passed through the glass window, clear as a mirror, and upon seeing the profile of someone inside, Sarah Moore’s smile vanished instantly.

The hand holding the little child subconsciously squeezed, causing the child to let out a discomforted whimper.

"Brooke, what’s wrong?"

Amelia Miles noticed Sarah Moore had stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed upon a person in the boutique as if she wanted to devour them, and asked puzzledly.

Sarah Moore did not reply, instead gently soothing the whimpering child.

Amelia Miles followed Sarah Moore’s line of sight, and upon spotting the person inside, she instantly understood.

A woman was looking at jewelry inside, and that woman was none other than Selena Taylor.

She was the one who had severely wronged Leia Quinn, no wonder Leia, now Sarah Moore, would look at Selena with such animosity.

"Brooke."

Amelia Miles looked worriedly at Sarah Moore.

Sarah Moore regained her composure and forced out a smile.

"I’m fine. Just an enemy crossing my path. I’m pondering over how to teach someone a lesson."

Selena Taylor almost ruined her; she had never forgotten this vendetta.

Encountering her unexpectedly, she hadn’t yet figured out how to deal with her.

Upon hearing this, Amelia Miles glanced at Selena Taylor who was trying on jewelry, and her eyes twinkled.

"Brooke, today, don’t do anything—just watch from the side and see how I handle her."

Sarah Moore was startled, yet before she could speak, she was pulled into the boutique by Amelia Miles.

The salespeople greeted them warmly.

Amelia Miles gestured for them to carry on and idly wandered around.

She came alongside Selena Taylor, who was removing a bracelet from her wrist.

"This bracelet looks nice. Are there any promotions now?"

Selena Taylor casually asked.

Not that she truly cared about promotions or discounts.

But women love a good bargain. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Any discount, of course, would be better.

"Mrs. Lu, this bracelet is a new release, and there are no promotions at the moment,"

The salesperson explained politely.

"No promotions now, but there surely will be in the future. I’m a regular customer, can’t you give me a discount so I don’t feel like I’m losing out?"

Selena Taylor moved the bracelet away for a closer look, thinking about what outfit might match it.

Then, a fair, slender hand reached over, grabbing the bracelet from her.

"Is a bracelet really worth haggling over like this, Mrs. Lu? If you can’t afford it, don’t embarrass yourself here. Wrap it up for me, I’ll pay with my card,"

The bracelet was snatched, accompanied by a ruthless taunt.

Selena Taylor angrily turned her head, glaring at Amelia Miles, "Amelia Miles, this was my chosen bracelet."

Amelia Miles was reaching for her card, feigning surprise, "Oh, you picked this one? I thought you found it too pricey! Besides, you haven’t paid yet, have you?"

Selena Taylor darkened her face, staring at Amelia Miles before turning to the service clerk, "Waiter, it’s mine; wrap it for me."

Amelia Miles let out a snide laugh, "Selena Taylor, fighting over a bracelet with someone else? A leopard never changes its spots!"

"What did you say?"

Selena Taylor shrieked in fury.

Amelia Miles dug a finger into her ear, "Quieten down, Mrs. Lu. Even if someone hits your sore spot, don’t lose control in anger. Aren’t you a person of status?"

Selena Taylor glared at Amelia Miles who wore a tranquil expression, her chest heaving in rage.

The salespeople were awkwardly standing there, glancing back and forth, "Ladies, the bracelet..."

Who should it go to!

"Wrap it for me, didn’t you hear?"

Selena Taylor barked at the salesperson.

Amelia Miles tossed her hair with a mocking smile, "Mrs. Lu, that’s no fun. Miss, I’ll offer double the price, wrap the bracelet for me."

The salesperson looked conflicted, glanced at Selena Taylor.

Selena Taylor’s face was unpleasant, shouted, "What double? You think this is an auction? This bracelet has a fixed price."

"I want to; the extra is a tip for these young ladies’ hard work."

Amelia Miles raised her chin slightly, flashing a provoking smile, "Mrs. Lu, I imagine you’re so stingy that you won’t understand my philanthropic mentality."

"You."

Selena Taylor choked, seeing the light in several salespeople’s eyes, her blood rushing upwards.

She slapped her card on the table, "Triple, I’ll pay triple, wrap the bracelet for me."

The salespeople’s eyes gleamed brighter.

"Quadruple."

Amelia Miles played with the card in her hand, lazily responding, a sly glint in her eye.

"Quintuple."

"Sextuple."

"Septuple."

"Octuple!"

"Nonuple."

"Decuple!"

Selena Taylor’s voice grew sharper, determined to secure the bracelet no matter what.

Amelia Miles raised her eyebrows in a sigh.

"Forget it, I can’t be bothered to fight, the bracelet is yours, young ladies, hurry up and wrap it, Mrs. Lu is wealthy enough to pay tenfold for a bracelet; you ought to thank her properly."

The bracelet was worth one hundred thousand, tenfold would be a million.

Hmm, it wasn’t for naught that she deliberately provoked Selena Taylor, making her take a bit of a hit.

This lesson, does it satisfy Brooke?

Amelia Miles turned to look at Sarah Moore watching the show from the side and winked at her.

Sarah Moore glanced and smiled knowingly.

Thanking her friend for venting a tiny bit of her frustration.

Selena Taylor calmed down when she saw the salespeople preparing the invoice.

Only calming herself did she realize she might have been played by Amelia Miles.

She actually paid a million for a bracelet worth only a hundred thousand?

How infuriating!

"Amelia Miles, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?"

Amelia Miles looked at her, lips curling with a smile-not-a-smile, "What’s wrong, is Mrs. Lu thinking to back down in public? Despite everything, you’re the esteemed madam of the Lu family, aren’t you worried about disgracing them?"

"I..."

Selena Taylor choked, angrily glaring at Amelia Miles.

Amelia Miles smiled brightly, "Although I know you truly have no shame. If you do something underhanded, I won’t be surprised."

"You..."

Selena Taylor’s face changed colors, unable to speak from anger.

The salespeople, hearing their exchange, rushed to complete the transaction, fearful Selena Taylor would really go back on her word.

The beep sounded, and Selena Taylor glanced at her phone, seeing the million deduction notification, feeling her heart ache.

She really wanted to say this was against the rules, she no longer wanted the bracelet.

But some wealthy heiresses nearby were watching her, if she backed out now, wouldn’t she be boosting Amelia Miles’ dignity?

So suffocating.

Just had to be taken advantage of!
