Chapter 1408


    Not only were the clothes and shoes a treat for the eyes, but the jewelry and watches were


    outrageously stunning too.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Arabe was the designer behind these pieces, she would have swiped her


    card without a second thought!


    "These are your priciest items?" Serena couldn''t hide her disdain as she looked away, her voice


    dripping with condescension. "It seems the talent of your founder doesn''t quite stack up to that of the


    designers at top-tier brands."


    "Our brand has ascended to the international top-tier, and the prime spot we upy on the Street is a


    testament to our solid brand strength,’ Jessie responded with a gentle tone. "Not only that, but even


    some of the leading international designers have admitted to being outshone by our founder.


    They''ve been on the news talking about wanting to apprentice under her, yet theyment never getting


    the chance."


    Ever since QY burst onto the scene, more than one designer had praised Queen Abby''s overflowing


    talent in front of the media, some even harboring dreams of studying under her, if only they could meet


    her.


    "I grew up wearing nothing but top-tier brands, and I''m not particrly impressed by these designs,’


    Serena said haughtily, drawing from her past experiences as she criticized, "Take this coat, for


    example. If it were designed by someone at Chanel, it would definitely be a tweed suit, which would


    betterplement rich girls’ elegance."


    "If every designer copied Chanel''s style, then the world would be overrun with Chanels,'' Jessie


    retorted. "We''d never see the birth of new brands or styles.


    QY aims to be different. Our founder''s designs are versatile—sweet or sassy, gentle or bold—suitable


    for a broad age range."


    "So, the real target audience for QY is people like you? Only those at the bottom can appreciate it,


    Serena scoffed dismissively. "You simply don''t understand the needs of the true elite. Enough talk."


    After having her say, Serena was ready to leave when she heard a voice call out, "Hold on."


    She turned to see a distinguished-lookingdy in her forties, draped in high-end brands from head to


    toe, yet Serena couldn''t ce her. “You are entitled to dislike any brand, but please refrain from being


    offensive.


    Everyone deserves respect, and I think you owe this sales associate an apology."


    Serena couldn''t identify the woman and sneered cold-heartedly, "Who are you to her, her mother? Why


    are you sticking up for her?"


    Thedy seemed taken aback by such insolence, especiallying from someone so young. It was a


    "And you''re not my mother, so why bother? Do you think we are all your children and have to listen to


    you?" Serena rolled her eyes and turned to leave, making a point to say as she stepped out, "Not only


    are the products unimpressive here, but so is the clientele!"


    Jessie, the sales associate, had to bite her tongue in frustration. She had never encountered such an


    arrogantly rich girl, insulting her and dragging the entire QY brand and its customers through the mud.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    If it wasn''t for the store manager''s teachings to remain calm and consider the brand''s image at all


    times, she would have confronted the woman directly.


    "What terrible manners that girl has! It''s true what they say, when something gets famous, it invites


    trouble," thedy said indignantly, "Dressed in all those designerbels, you''d never guess her


    upbringing was so poor."


    "Mrs. Cooper, thank you for speaking up for me,’ Jessie said, expressing her gratitude politely. "I''m


    sorry it spoiled your mood, let me get you a cup of tea to calm your nerves."


    Unaware of whom she had just offended, Serena moved on to another luxury store catering to a more


    mature clientele. The styles here were tailored for the older generation, and many high-societydies


    preferred to shop here.


    Serena quickly took a liking to a brooch that suited her grandmother''s taste withoutpromising her


    status. The clincher was the free bracelet that came with the brooch. She nned to gift it to May, after


    all, May was her uncle''s favorite.


    As she headed to the checkout, she caught a glimpse of a familiar person. It was the same


    distinguisheddy from before!
