How Are You Here

This mall just happened to belong to Sterling Group. It housed famous luxury brands along with many major labels across all kinds of categories, and counted as one of the more lavish shopping centers in Chicago.

Ruby Sterling and Emma Young were both daughters from wealthy families, and their spending levels were about the same.

Naturally, there were no problems at all.

All of a sudden, Ruby Sterling spotted Bennett Group's branded jewelry store and remembered that Claire Bennett had recently returned to Bennett Group, and the new brand had come with her, so there should be quite a few products on the shelves by now.

Since her brother had already made his move, she naturally couldn't fall behind.

She wanted to give Claire Bennett a bit of sales volume, so she turned to Emma Young and said, "I want to buy some jewelry. Let's go take a look at that store."

Emma Young glanced at the sign and said, "I've seen Bennett Group's jewelry before, but there weren't many styles I liked. If you want to buy jewelry, I can introduce you to another brand."

"No need. I'm buying Bennett Group's!" Ruby Sterling shook her head.

Ruby Sterling grabbed Emma Young's hand and said, "Bennett Group recently launched new products under a new sub-brand. Go take a look. Maybe you'll like it."

After saying that, she pulled Emma Young into the store with her.

The sales associate warmly received them and promoted Bennett Group's new products to them, but Ruby Sterling could tell at a glance that none of these were jewelry designed by Claire Bennett, and they also didn't carry Claire Bennett's brand name.

She shook her head and said, "Don't you have a new brand? Maison Verne, right? Bring out all the Maison Verne jewelry for me to see."

The sales associate hadn't expected that someone would walk in and directly ask for the jewelry from the brand managed by Claire Bennett. Right now, Ava Bennett was the one calling the shots at Bennett Group. Although Claire Bennett's brand was also in the store, it only occupied a tiny little corner and looked completely inconspicuous.

But customers were customers, and the sales associate had no reason to throw Ruby Sterling out.

She led Ruby Sterling and Emma Young to a counter in the corner and said, "Miss, these are all Maison Verne accessories. You can take a look first."

When Ruby Sterling saw that Claire Bennett's brand was displayed in only such a tiny little space, she felt stifled to the extreme. It looked like Claire Bennett really had been bullied badly.

She had to tell her brother!

Just then, more customers came in. When the sales associate saw who it was, her eyes instantly lit up, and she directly ditched Emma Young and Ruby Sterling to go attend to them.

Emma Young sat in a chair. Looking at the new jewelry in front of her, she said, "These pieces actually look pretty beautiful. They make me want to buy them, but why are they displayed in a place like this? If they were properly displayed, the sales would definitely be good."

Ruby Sterling let out a mocking laugh. "Obviously because someone tampered with things."

"Chase, isn't that your ex-girlfriend Ruby Sterling? She's actually here buying jewelry too. What a coincidence!" Suddenly, a voice full of mockery rang out.

Ruby Sterling and Emma Young both looked up at the same time, only then realizing it was Chase Monroe and Lydia West.

Seeing her ex-boyfriend Chase Monroe—the man who had latched onto Lydia West, the daughter of a nouveau riche family, and then directly dumped her—Ruby Sterling felt it was seriously bad luck. She hadn't expected enemies would cross paths on such a narrow road!

Following behind the two of them, the sales associate said, "Mr. Monroe, Miss West, the custom lifetime wedding rings the two of you ordered are ready. Please take a look and see if there's anything you're dissatisfied with."

Wedding rings?

Ruby Sterling was slightly surprised. These two were getting married?

But a scumbag like Chase Monroe, who loved the rich and scorned the poor, ought to be tied to a woman like Lydia West so they wouldn't come out and harm anyone else.

Lydia West was in no hurry to look at her wedding rings. She walked over toward Ruby Sterling, stopped in front of her, and said, "Ruby Sterling, let me tell you some good news. Chase and I are getting married!"

"I'd been wanting to send you an invitation, but Chase said it'd be better not to give you one because he was afraid you'd make a scene at the wedding. You won't blame me, will you?"

Ruby Sterling sneered. "I won't."

Who cared about going to her wedding? Was Lydia West seriously that full of herself?

Chase Monroe seemed worried that Ruby Sterling would ruin his good news, so he hurried over and pulled Lydia West, saying, "Lydia, why bother with her? Let's go! The wedding rings are already done. Don't you want to take a look?"

When Lydia West saw how impatient Chase Monroe was to drag her away, she immediately looked at him unhappily and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to pull me away? Are you feeling guilty? Are you still in contact with this woman?"
