Chapter 18 - Try It
Jeanne's brows furrowed immediately. "Excuse me, I saw this bag first!"
"So what if you saw it first? You haven't paid for it yet. Since you haven't paid, it still belongs to the store. It belongs to whoever grabs it first! Don't you know the rules?"
The woman in front of her was not only younger but also much more beautiful than her. This made the rich woman very unhappy, so she naturally spoke in a rude manner.
Jeanne was furious. Not only did this fat woman steal her right before her eyes, she even dared to say that she did not know the rules. That was simply outrageous.
The rich woman no longer bothered Jeanne and urged the store clerk. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pack this up for me!"
"That's… I'm sorry, Ma'am, but this lady saw the bag first. I'm really sorry…"
This luxury mall was not small and the people who came here to splurge were all rich and noble. The salesgirl did not dare to favor one customer over another and could only act impartially.
The rich woman suddenly widened her eyes and shrieked, "Are you new here? Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that? Besides, just look at her. She looks like an ordinary white-collar worker. The cost of all the clothes she's currently wearing combined is still cheaper than the cost of this bag! Do you think she can afford it?"
Jeanne was furious. Although her usual clothes were not the most expensive, they were still high-end women's clothing. How dare this fat woman look down on her?
"Who said I can't afford it? Give me the invoice. I'll pay for it now!"
Jeanne was usually not a person who liked to compete with others, but this fat woman had completely ignited her desire to win!
Today, she absolutely could not lose!
The sales clerk did not tarry and printed an invoice immediately.
"Hello, Miss. The total is 189,800 yuan!"
Jeanne's heart jumped. She had thought that this bag would be 70,000 to 80,000 at most. She did not expect it to be so expensive.
Although Jeanne earned millions a year, a bag of nearly two hundred thousand was by no means a small amount for her!
"Hahaha, how about it? Expensive, isn't it? That's right. It's because bags like these aren't for white-collar workers like you. I suggest you give it to me now!"
The rich woman mocked Jeanne.
Jeanne's face was ice cold, refusing to bow. Not only did she like this bag very much, in order to vent this resentment, she must absolutely buy this bag today!
"I'll use my card!"
Jeanne handed her card over directly.
However, what happened next completely surprised Jeanne.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but the balance in your card seems to be insufficient…"
Jeanne's expression changed. "How could that be?"
Jeanne remembered clearly that there were at least 500,000 in her card. It was impossible that the balance was insufficient.
"Hahaha, what did I say? She's just pretending!"
The rich woman was very happy when Jeanne made a fool of herself.
Jeanne was furious and took out her three other cards, but all of them had the same result. None of them could pay for the bag!
At that moment, Jeanne finally realized that things were not as simple as she thought. The reason why she could not pay was not because the balance in her card was insufficient, but because her cards were frozen!
Jeanne's card was bound to Harrington Corporation, and the only one who could freeze her balance was the Harrington family!
Jeanne never expected that her grandmother would go so far!
At that point, the rich woman laughed from ear to ear when she saw all of Jeanne's cards failed to pay.
"Hahaha, my sides hurt from laughing. I think you can't even get 10,000 out of your card. How dare you fight with me over the bag? You're really out of your league!
"Enough, stop wasting time here. Since you can't afford it, this bag is mine!"
The rich woman said and twisted her fat waist over, coming to pay.
Jeanne's heart was like dead ashes.
Not only had she been robbed of her beloved bag, but she was also even humiliated today. How frustrating!
Jeanne had always been a woman eager to get ahead in life. She was not willing to admit defeat!
However, she tried all her cards. What else could she do?
At that moment, a lightbulb suddenly flashed in her mind.
No, she did not try all her cards yet. She still had one more card left.
Yes, it was the bank card that Augustus gave her yesterday!
However, Jeanne could not help but smile bitterly.
She must have gone crazy from her desire to win to actually pin her hopes on that guy!
"Miss, do you want to try this card?"
The female clerk looked at the last card in Jeanne's hand and asked.
"Yes, why don't you try it? How else would people know how poor you are? Hahaha…"
The rich woman guffawed.
Jeanne originally gave up, but the rich woman's words made her change her mind.
There was no other reason. She just wanted to make herself completely give up on that man!
"Try it!"
Jeanne entered the pin number as her breathing became rapid.
She was even prepared for the taunts of that hateful woman.
However, in the next moment.
"Thank you, Miss. The payment was successful!"
