Chapter 37
Shelly screeched, “What do you mean the transaction won’t go through? How can
that be?”
“It just won’t, Ms. Barrett.’
Shelly felt embarrassed. She’d bought a number of things this month, so she’d already been close to her limit. That, coupled with the fact that Mia had deliberately led her into a trap, would definitely mean that she’d exceeded her limit.
Shelly put on a serious expression. “Why don’t you just wrap these things up for me

“We’re not allowed to do that, Ms. Barrett. All customers have to settle the bill before
taking the items home,” the salesperson said.
Shelly gave her a tight slap. “I’m a member of the Barrett family! This whole mall belongs to my family; would I really stoop low enough to steal these things from you?

Shelly pointed at Mia and Eva. “Kick the two of them out of here. They’re nothing but
poor bastards who can’t afford any of the things in here. They’re just wasting our
time and resources! In the future, don’t allow peasants like them in here. It’ll just
ruin the mall’s reputation.”
The manager hesitated. “That’s not in accordance with the rules and regulations, Ms.
Barrett.”
Shelly shrieked, “How is that against the rules? My word is equivalent to the Barrett
