<b>Chapter </b><b>22 </b>
Stacey raised her eyebrows and smiled ironically. Her thoughts were clear on her face. “Oh, I’m so sorry. Did I offend your dignity, you poor kid? Kids nowadays know to defend their families, huh?”
Jasper walked out of the restroom and saw Laura arguing with the sales assistant outside of the store in the distance.
He frowned at this.
Laura was so angry that her face turned red. Her childish voice rose as she shouted fiercely, “You can say I’m poor, but you cannot say that about my brother. My brother is handsome like a prince. He’s not the kind of person you said!”
After a slight pause, Laura continued in an articte and straightforward manner, “Besides, my uncle gave me money, so my brother brought me here. You can’t say that about him!”
Staceyughed out loud and looked around at the passersby. Her attitude remained mocking as she said, “Oh, you child. I really don’t know whether to say that you are pathetic or praise you for being smart.”
She bent down and said tauntingly, “People like you cannot afford the clothes in our store. Do you understand? Maybe your brother got the wrong ce, so he brought you here, or maybe because he doesn’t have the guts toe here. You standing in front of our store like this will affect our image. How can we sell our products like this?”
After saying that, Stacey looked at Laura up and down and said, “With you looking like this, I don’t think y you. The two of you are probably equally poor.”
your brother is much better than
Laura lost control of herself, and she pushed the sales assistant angrily. “Don’t talk about my brother like that!”
Stacey wasn’t pushed back, but she was annoyed by Laura’s action. In response, she pushed Laura away and said, “You’re courting death. Who told you to touch me? Don’t you know you’re dirty?”
Laura fell to the ground, and her eyes immediately turned red.
The passersby couldn’t bear watching this, so they shouted, “How can you bully a child?”
“That’s right!”
Stacey stubbornly defended herself. “I didn’t bully her! She’s the one looking for trouble! Dressed so poorly, she dares say that she wants to wait for her brother here. What if she’s a thief?”
One of the passersby argued, “Thief? How can such a young child be a thief? Also, you’ve been mocking this child for being poor just now. Do you not have a moral conscience?”
“Being a sales assistant is too awesome, huh?”
At a loss for words, Stacey went on to target Laura and said, “Am I wrong? She is poor, so she shouldn’t be here!”
There were some abrasions on Laura’s skin, and blood had started to show.
However, she endured the pain and red at Stacey stubbornly. “You insulted my brother first! I won’t allow you to say that about my brother. He brought me here to shop. He is a good person!”
Jasper’s heart skipped a beat, and something shed in his eyes.
The manager of the shopping mall, Charles Lewis, passed by and saw Jasper. He hurriedly approached the boy and said, “Mr. Smith, why didn’t you tell us about your visit? You didn’t even mention that you would bring someone with you. Allow me to apany you shopping!”

Jasper nced at him but said nothing.
Meanwhile, Stacey was confident and fearless as she said, “What’s wrong with Insulting your brother? I’m sure your brother is just a poor wretch. What’s wrong with insulting him?”
Exactly at this moment, à cold voice of a young child interjected, “Am I the poor wretch you’re talking about, Miss?”
The surroundings went silent all of a sudden, and Stacey turned in the direction of the voice.
Jasper was wearing a white shirt, well–tailored cks, and a pair of bespoke white shoes.
He had a handsome face, with almond–shaped eyes that lookednguid but full of dignity. His bangs covered his forehead in a casual fashion. He seemed to be only about ten years old, but he had an imposing aura that eclipsed Charles‘, who was standing at his side. Jasper then slowly walked toward Stacey.
Laura was overjoyed when she saw him. “Jasper!”
Stacey’s expression abruptly changed, and she looked at Jasper in astonishment.
