Is This Woman Serious?

Lydia West was a VIP client of Bennett Group, and this time she had reserved a wedding ring designed by the top chief designer under Ava Bennett's name.

The sales associate in the store also knew her identity, which was why the moment she came in earlier, she had greeted her so enthusiastically and shoved Ruby Sterling aside.

"Hey, is this woman here to buy jewelry?" Lydia West suddenly turned and asked the sales associate behind her.

The sales associate immediately said, "Yes, this lady came in to buy jewelry from our Maison Verne brand."

Lydia West's gaze fell on the small display case in front of Ruby Sterling, and contempt showed in her eyes.

"Makes sense. A broke nobody like Ruby Sterling could only afford this kind of jewelry. The jewelry in this counter is all discounted outdated clearance stock, right?"

"Well..."

The sales associate had originally wanted to say no, but then she remembered that Ava Bennett had specifically had her assistant Olivia Lawson instruct them to set Claire Bennett's jewelry aside and leave it alone, and the person in front of her was also an important client.

Lydia West bought each season's new releases the moment they came out, so she was far more reliable than this new customer in front of her.

This new customer, although she had come in and specifically asked for Maison Verne jewelry, who knew whether she would really buy anything.

After weighing it all, the sales associate ultimately decided to flatter Lydia West instead.

She smiled and said, "Yes, these are all our clearance pieces. Yours is high-end custom, so naturally it's different from what's here."

After hearing that, Lydia West was in an excellent mood. She crossed her arms and looked at Ruby Sterling. "Exactly. Some people really can only afford things like these."

Ruby Sterling let out a cold laugh and said to the sales associate, "You're right. I really can only afford these..."

Then her tone shifted. "Pack all of these up for me."

When the sales associate heard that, her eyes nearly popped out.

Although she had called these clearance pieces, if someone really bought all of them, the price was anything but cheap. Was this woman serious?

When Lydia West heard Ruby Sterling's words, then saw the stunned look on the sales associate's face beside her, she felt Ruby Sterling really knew how to show off.

What kind of joke was this?

Buy all of them? Did she have that much money?

She sneered and said acidly, "People these days! To keep up appearances, they'll say absolutely anything. Aren't they scared they'll end up getting slapped hard in the face?"

Ruby Sterling acted as if she hadn't heard Lydia West. Looking at the sales associate, she repeated, "Didn't you hear what I said? Pack them all up for me."

Although the sales associate had sided with Lydia West just now, now that Ruby Sterling was buying everything, it was also a huge order for her, enough to cover several months of sales performance.

"Certainly, miss. Please wait a moment. Have a seat for a bit. I'll pour you a cup of tea, and then I'll pack everything up for you."

After saying that, the sales associate immediately began serving Ruby Sterling enthusiastically, while Lydia West and Chase Monroe were ignored off to the side.

Lydia West instantly grew displeased. She couldn't stand seeing Ruby Sterling doing better than her.

Was this sales associate blind? Couldn't she tell who was the person she should be currying favor with?

Ruby Sterling said she was going to buy all this jewelry?

She refused to believe Ruby Sterling really had that much money. Hmph! She was just waiting to see Ruby Sterling make a fool of herself in a moment.

So Lydia West stood there without the slightest courtesy, waiting for Ruby Sterling's things to be packed up.

Maybe when the time came and she didn't have enough money and said she didn't want the items anymore, the sales associate would throw her out. That would be hilarious.

Very soon, that sales associate had packed up all the jewelry from one counter.

She said to Ruby Sterling, "Miss, your total purchase this time comes to 508,000 dollars. I just asked my manager, and they said we can give you a discount."

"You only need to charge an even amount, and we can also help you apply for lifetime VIP status. In the future, whenever you shop with us, you'll get 10% off..."

Lydia West had not expected that packing up a whole counter of jewelry would cost that much money.

The matching men's and women's wedding rings she was buying only cost 200,000, and now Ruby Sterling's spending was already double hers.

She felt that Ruby Sterling was doing this on purpose, just to viciously slap her in the face right in front of her.

The sales associate asked, "Would you like to pay cash or by card?"

Ruby Sterling said calmly, "By card."

"Then I'll bring the card machine over right away."

Lydia West let out a mocking laugh and sneered at Ruby Sterling, "You want to pay by card? If your card doesn't have enough balance, that's going to be embarrassing. Ruby Sterling, I advise you not to force it just for the sake of pride. Admitting you don't have enough money to buy it isn't a big issue. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."

Ruby Sterling glanced at Lydia West and only found her a bit too talkative.

Lydia West thought she couldn't afford it? Now she was absolutely going to buy it, and buy all of it at that. As a bonus, she could help boost Claire Bennett's sales numbers too.

Chase Monroe's brows drew tightly together. He walked up to Ruby Sterling and said in a low voice, "Ruby Sterling, what exactly are you trying to do? You don't have to be like this. No matter how deliberately you're trying to go against us, it won't work. I'm not going to like you again. You should stop making a fool of yourself here."

Ruby Sterling's face darkened, and disgust surfaced in her eyes. "Chase Monroe, can you stay farther away from me?"

"You two can leave already, so what are you shamelessly crowding over here for? As long as you stop hovering here like flies and getting in my way, you won't think I'm deliberately going against you."

When Lydia West heard Ruby Sterling's words, her face instantly turned black with anger.

She yanked Chase Monroe over and said viciously, "Why are you wasting so many words on her? When she doesn't have money to pay in a minute, she'll know what happens when showing off blows up in your face."

Before long, the sales associate brought over the card machine.

Under Lydia West's suspicious gaze, Ruby Sterling took out her card and started to pay.

With a beep, it showed that the payment had gone through, and the card machine began automatically printing the receipt.

Seeing the successful payment, both Lydia West and Chase Monroe had looks of disbelief in their eyes.

Ruby Sterling actually really had that much money!!

Where had she gotten so much money to buy that much jewelry all at once?

Chase Monroe understood Ruby Sterling best. After all, before this, Ruby Sterling used to pick discounted clearance clothes at the market just to save money.

Usually, Ruby Sterling never had more than two thousand dollars on her card. So where exactly had she gotten the money from?
