The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1315

"Sorry, but could you please not make this hard for us?" A line of sales associates stood in unison, firmly blocking her entrance.

Passersby were strolling along, and some luxury car owners sat smugly in their vehicles, watching her with amusement.

Out in the open, Serena felt the sting of embarrassment, "You don't recognize the Collins name? Kenneth Collins ring any bells??"

"Apologies, but if you don't leave now, we'll have to call security."

It didn't matter if one was a tycoon, here in Dawnstar, in the presence of Bard, one had to step aside!

Serena couldn't believe these salespeople were so clueless that they hadn't even heard of her father. As the crowd around her grew, she stomped her foot in frustration and left.

"Just you wait, Arabella. You'll get what's coming to you if our paths cross again!"

Meanwhile.

The store manager personally packaged all the items, applied the membership discount, took another 20% off, and even threw in two extra dresses for Arabella.

Watching Eunice and Arabella rush to foot the bill, the manager couldn't help but compliment them, "The affection between you two is truly heartwarming, just like mother and daughter. Although, in my years in this position, I've never seen such a youthful mother or a daughter so considerate and caring."

"Bella, this is my treat; I insist on paying!" Eunice was determined, "Besides, you've already bought so many clothes for me. Don’t snatch the bill from me again, or I’ll feel disappointed!"

"You should let your aunt pay," the manager chimed in, a bit awkwardly. "We wouldn't dare take your money, young lady."

How could they accept money from the young miss when her aunt wanted to pay?
