?Chapter 354:


    Jaelyn figured the Harper family wasn’t treating Elena well. With this thought, her envy began to fade.


    Elena took out a ck credit card. “My financial capabilities are not your concern. But you?”


    Elena turned her attention to Jaelyn. “Has the Griffiths family gone bankrupt? Unable to afford even a few bracelets, and now resorted to begging?”


    Jaelyn clenched her teeth, infuriated. “Who are you calling a beggar?”


    Elena answered, “Since you’ve asked for money, isn’t that begging? If you’re that distressed, maybe go see a doctor instead of causing a scene and disrupting others.”


    Furious, Jaelyn red at the item on the counter, and a spiteful idea crossed her mind. She swiftly grabbed the item and hurled it to the floor. The piece shattered into fragments.


    Jaelyn eximed, “Elena, how could you break the piece? It’s worth three million. Can you afford to pay for it?”


    “Miss, I’ve already warned you—any damage falls on you. If you can’t pay, I’ll need to call the police!” Amanda, the shop staff member, frowned and said, her voice brimming with disdain and contempt directed at Elena.


    The sound of the jade breaking turned the heads of other shoppers.


    “This woman has no manners, trying to avoid paying.”


    “If it’s out of your budget, don’t even think about handling it. That’s justmon sense.”


    “Really, who raised her? Three million for a stone? She must be out of her mind!”


    Hearing the taunts aimed at Elena, Jaelyn couldn’t help but feel a surge of satisfaction, taking pleasure in Elena’s apparent downfall. Served Elena right for the earlier insults! Today, Elena must pay dearly.


    Jaelyn scoffed. “You’ve damaged the jade. You’re not thinking of slipping away from paying for it, are you? Is this the kind of upbringing the Harper family provides? How disgraceful!”


    Elena’s expression hardened, her eyebrows knitting together. Her voice firm, she said, “Jaelyn, do you think I didn’t see? It was clearly you who broke the jade.”


    Jaelyn, ever arrogant, replied confidently, “Why don’t you ask everyone here who they think did it?”

    Amanda quickly interjected, “Mrs. Griffiths had no interest in this jade piece. How could she have been the one to touch it? It was definitely you who broke it, trying now to me her.”


    Amanda gave Elena a once-over, assuming Elena couldn’t afford their products since she didn’t wear designerbels.


    Amanda continued, “You’re just acting with that card. You don’t look like you belong in a store like this. Our merchandise is high-end, not meant for someone of your sort. Call your family. You’re not leaving until the damages are settled.”


    Elena stood facing Amanda, her expression impossible to read. “Do you even have a functioning brain or eyes? Maybe you and Jaelyn should both get a checkup at a hospital.”


    “You—”


    “Shut the fuck up!” Elena shouted, cutting the furious Amanda off.


    Elena gestured toward the surveince camera as she spoke. “You surely know there’s a camera here, right? If you’re so sure I broke it, let’s see the proof.”
