Chapter 923


    Chloe grinned, “You’ve got good taste.”


    Katie bit her lip, her face blushing.


    Seeing her shy yet adorable look, Chloe couldn’t help but giggle.


    Then, Chloe continued to shop for a bit, finally settling on a tinum bracelet. It was adorned with a


    ck and white swan on either side, so delicate and appealing.


    “Can I see that bracelet?” Chloe asked.


    “Sure, just a moment.” The salesclerk unlocked the disy case and ced the bracelet on the


    counter.


    Just as Chloe was about to reach for it, another slender hand swooped in and grabbed it. Chloe


    looked up, initially assuming she was being overly sensitive. She thought it was Wendy, but it was


    actually Sierra.


    “This is really beautiful.” Sierra’s eyes lit up as she slipped the bracelet onto her wrist.


    After admiring it, she nodded contentedly, and excitedly called Wendy over.


    “Wendy, do you think this bracelet is pretty?” She asked.


    Upon seeing the bracelet on Sierra’s wrist, Wendy raised her eyebrows slightly.


    “You like it?” Sierra asked again as Wendy didn’t respond.


    Wendy nced at the salesclerk who smiled back at her. She felt a chill in her heart and then softly


    replied, “Yes, it’s pretty.”


    Sierra beamed, “I think it’s beautiful too.”


    She looked up at the salesclerk, “I’ll take it. No need to wrap it, I’ll wear it out.”


    Chloe frowned upon hearing Sierra’s words, calmly saying, “Sierra, I believe I was looking at that


    bracelet first.”


    Sierra looked up at Chloe and her smile instantly vanished, “What do you mean you saw it first? If


    you saw it first, why is it on my wrist now?”


    Chloe’s brows furrowed and then rxed, suppressing augh, “You’re asking me?”


    Sierra nced at her and then back at the bracelet, “Well, who else should I ask?”


    Chloe rubbed her forehead and smirked internally. She wondered if she was truly out of touch with


    society, constantly encountering such absurd situations. Even shopping could result in a face–off..


    “I asked the salesclerk to take it out of the case. How can you’snatch it and act so righteous?” Chloe


    said.


    Sierra frowned, “You’re so annoying. Just because you asked to see it doesn’t mean you’re buying


    it. But I definitely am! See, I’m buying it, so it should be mine.”


    Under the glow of the counter lights, Chloe’s slender and beautiful hand rested on the ss, making


    her white suit even more striking. She was like a person radiating light.


    Chloe remained expressionless, even the smallest change in her demeanor triggering ripples in the


    hearts of those around her. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Sierra felt a pang of inferiority under Chloe’s silent stare.


    Meanwhile, Wendy had been eyeing the bracelet on Sierra’s wrist with interest, a slight smirk crept


    onto her face, “Sierra, give the bracelet to her.”


    Sierra swiftly hid her wrist behind her back, “Why? I clearly decided to buy it first!”


    Her loud objection attracted the attention of everyone in the store.


    “What’s going on?” Elizabeth asked.


    “Nothing, Elizabeth. Sierra and Chloe both like the same bracelet. Sierra has it on her wrist and


    refuses to take it off.” Wendy summarized the situation.


    Chloe nced at Wendy, her eyes narrowing slightly into a cold gaze.


    “Chloe, do you really like this bracelet?” Elizabeth asked. Chloe took a deep breath, meeting her


    gaze.


    “I like it. But if Sierra wants it that badly, she can have it.” Chloe said.


    “What do you mean ‘have it‘? I clearly decided to buy it first.” Sierra said.


    “Alright Sierra, Chloe has stepped back.” Elizabeth said.


    Chloe withdrew her hand, her face remaining impassive. Although she liked the bracelet, it wasn’t


    worth the hassle or the headache. Dealing with such persistent people made her want tosh out.


    So much for home training. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.


    With Elizabeth present, she naturally wouldn’t lose her manners.


    Especially since this was her store. If someone insisted on buying, as a store owner, how could she


    refuse their money?


    Of course not! As a businesswoman, making money was always the priority.


    Watching Sierra–pay with a satisfied smile, Chloe remained expressionless.


    Elizabeth tried tofort her by patting her arm gently, “I’ll get you a better er.”


    can’t


    Chloe gave a slight smile, “It’s okay, I didn’t like it that much. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let her


    have it so easily. What I like, no one can take away.”


    Wendy nced at her, but Chloe’s face retained that calm,posed smile.


    “Elizabeth, it’s time for our beauty salon appointment. Chloe, do you want to join us?” Wendy


    asked.


    “Are you done picking?” At that moment, Nathan’s voice came from the entrance.


    “Nathan, what are you doing here?” Sierra immediately went over to Nathan, staring at him


    adoringly.


    Nathan nced at her and said impatiently, “Who are you?”


    “I am…” Sierra said.


    “Beat it.” Nathan said.


    Sierra was taken aback by Nathan’s harsh tone and re. Nathan walked past her and headed to


    Elizabeth.


    She stomped her foot in frustration.


    “Mom, what are you doing here?” Nathan asked.


    Wendy raised her eyebrows at the sudden appearance of Nathan, “Oh, looks like someone is here


    to apany Chloe. Guess she won’t be joining us this time.”


    Elizabeth looked at him, her face filled with worry. She hoped he wasn’t falling for Chloe!


    “Just checking things out.” Elizabeth replied coldly, turning to Chloe, “Chloe, aren’t youing with


    us?”


    Chloe shed an apologetic smile, “Sorry, Mom, we’ve got some stuff to handle.”


    “Yeah, Elizabeth, let’s not keep Chloe. She’s got things to do.” Wendy said.


    “But…” Elizabeth sounded worried.


    She knew, boys and girls couldn’t hang out too often. If they started to have feelings for each other,


    things could get messy. Especially when it came to love. Once they were in, it was tough to get out.


    She could hardly imagine both her sons falling for the same girl.


    “Chloe, are you sure you’re noting with us?” Elizabeth persisted.


    Chloe gave a light nod and smile, “I won’t bother you guys anymore, I’ll spend time with youter.”


    In the end, Elizabeth was practically dragged away by Wendy. Before leaving, she shot Nathan a


    warning nce.


    Nathan didn’t bother, he just walked over to Chloe.


    Sierra, on the other hand, was so mad she was stomping her foot.


    Once everyone was gone, Chloe turned to the sales associate, nonchntly saying, “Show me your


    recent sales records.”


    Turned out, Wendy was a regr here.
