Who says we cant afford to buy something? I can Lina was about to bite the bullet and just buy an outfit to vent her anger and make the staff stop looking down upon them.
Grace held her back in time and said to the senior staff, Cant we just have a look in the store?
You two have come to a store which is far out of your income. range. You might be here to make trouble, and it is my job to protect the rights of the other guests in the store. The supervisor acted as if he was being reasonable.
Grace responded directly, But you dont have any evidence against us. In fact, you are clearly discriminating against us. for no good reason. By the way, what you just said? She held her phone and waved it for good measure. I have already recorded it. I think this should work as a good piece of evidence for me to hand over to the management of the mall.
up
You The supervisors face immediately turned red. He had never thought that the other party would record his words.
Grace, thats enough, Zoe scolded. You are someone who sweeps the streets. Why would you come here to shop? Do you still miss the days when you got to wear this kind of thing? Zoe said mockingly, If you really want these clothes, then I can take pity on you and buy something for you.
Why? Cant a sanitation worker come here to look around and shop for clothes? Or does the Stevens Family think that sanitation workers are inferior to others? If the public knows. that the Stevens Family looks at sanitation workers in this way, Im not sure how they will feel about it.
Grace said her words in a neutral tone. She wasnt making a threat so much as stating a fact. Zoes personal behavior was a reflection on the Stevens Family.
Zoe sputtered but she didnt go so far as to refute what Grace said-probably because she knew Grace was right and she didnt have any argument.
Zoe held her tongue. Only because if it really did leak, what shed said, and somehow it flowed out onto social media that shed said that sanitation workers were inferior, then she would probably get flamed to death on the internet before the end of tomorrow.
And it wouldnt just be her, but the whole family too.
Why do you have to be so serious? Lily, who had been silent throughout, suddenly said.
Grace barely masked her surprise. Lily was the last person shed expect to come to her defense.
Lily smiled coldly and went on. Sanitation workers can certainly buy clothes here, but as with any store, if one isnt actually making purchases, they shouldnt loiter. Thats an impediment to store owners. If you arent going to buy anything,
then dont interfere with other peoples business.
From the sparkle in her eye, Lily thought shed scored the last word, and, already she could see the store manager perking up like that bit about loitering was the key to proving his innocence.
But Grace wasnt ready to be thrown out just yet.
This one is fine. Grace directly pointed at a dress with a price. tag of four million dollars. It was a one-of-kind couture gown and the designers name was valued around the world. It was at true showpiece. Didnt Miss Stevens just say that she wanted to buy a dress for me? Then lets just get this one.
Zoe almost spat blood. She despised Grace Cummins. And she might have been being catty to say that shed buy Grace something. But she didnt mean it!!!
Miss Stevens, youre not going to go back on your words, are you? Lina asked. She smiled and stepped closer to Grace.
Zoes face turned even redder.

Lily said disdainfully, Its not that Zoe cant afford to pay for the gown. Its just that buying something like this for a murderer is not worth it.
Graces face went as white as a sheet of paper. Lina stepped in front of her. Who are you calling a murderer? Lina snarled.
Why? Does she not even dare to admit that she killed my sister? Lily stared straight at Grace.
Grace pressed her lips together tightly. The scene of the car accident flashed across her mind again. If she had been a step slower at that time, she might have died in the explosion of the car crash as well!
I didnt. She met the other persons gaze and spat out these two words.
Liar! Lily sneered. The verdict has already been passed. Werent you talking all high and mighty about some evidence just now? You have to realize that all the evidence back then pointed at you.
Graces eyes watered. It was true. No matter how hard she tried to defend herself, all the evidence really did point at her.
It was obvious that she had been framed, but no one believed her except Lina.
Lina, lets go, Grace said.
She grabbed her friend and spun to walk them out of the store.
And she slammed directly into Sean who was on his way
