Chapter 1982


    Serena''s presence left Holly at a loss for words. Even putting aside everything else, just looking at


    Serena in her wheelchair, with a inly dressed "rtive" in tow, Holly wondered how much money


    Serena could possibly have to spend in their boutique after being cut off from the Collins family wealth.


    Not that Holly wanted her money anyway.


    The Collins family''s prodigal daughter''s homing banquet was live-streamed yesterday, and


    everyone at the store had watched with a mix of fascination and disdain for Serena''s shameless


    actions.


    Though Holly was just an average sales associate trying to make sales and earn a little extra cash for


    her family, she didn''t want a dime of Serena''s money!


    Just then, the store manager approached. "Holly, what seems to be the problem here?"

    "Manager." Holly started with a hint of resignation, "Serena''s here."


    Upon hearing this, the manager gave Serena a thorough once-over. "With that getup, Serena, anyone


    would think you''ve done something shady and can''t show your face."


    Serena bristled at that. "What are you implying?"


    "Come on, we all saw the Collins family''s live stream yesterday. I just don''t get how you have the nerve


    to show up here shopping today. The Collins took care of you for eighteen years and you tried to take


    down the true heiress of family. We don''t wee customers like you. Please, leave immediately!"


    Serena was fuming. "What, is this your store? You think you can just refuse service to me?"


    "You''re wee to file aint with our headquarters if you like, but let me tell you, RY has had


    several partnerships with QY. Let''s see if they give you the time of day."


    "How dare you!?"


    "cklist her. She''s not wee in this store anymore." With that, the manager spun on her heel and


    left.


    "Yes, Manager." Holly bowed slightly in acknowledgement, feeling a mix of satisfaction and feigned


    sympathy. "I''m very sorry, Serena."


    "Dora, let''s go!" Serena had no desire to stay a moment longer.


    Dora hurriedly wheeled her out, indignant. "This is outrageous, Serena! The customer is always


    supposed to be right. How could they treat you like this? I''ll tell Mr. Martin and he''ll sort this out."


    "As if I need this shop to survive!" Serena scoffed, directing Dora to another destination—a high-end


    jewelry store called SHINING STAR.


    SHINING STAR was known for its exquisite jewelry, where even the simplest ne came with a


    hefty price tag. Serena had been a regr spender here, but it was surprising to see a dozen or so


    customers still in the store, considering it was just after the holiday.


    As Dora pushed Serena inside, one of the sales associates spotted her and seemed to recognize her


    but chose to pretend to be busy arranging the disy instead of greeting them. The other associates


    were upied with other clients, leaving Serena and Dora unattended in the awkward silence.


    Dora was annoyed. If Martin were here, the sales staff would have flocked over.


    "Isn''t dys here?" Serena asked for a specific associate, drawing curious nces.


    Of course, a few of the salespeople did recognize her but chose to keep quiet. None of them wanted to


    deal with her and acted as if she were invisible.


    The sales associate, Amy, who had pretended to be busy with the jewelry, reluctantly responded,


    "dys is off for the holiday."
