Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1864

Sophie Kenwick could not recall ever being treated so poorly before.

Although her father had taught her to forgive others whenever she could, she found it hard to tolerate the lack of respect any further.

“Excuse me, can you let me browse in peace?” she asked calmly. Her tone did not make her appear to be an innocent girl, however.

Sophie was speechless.

She remembered her father's advice about forgiveness and letting things go, but he also taught her not to tolerate what was intolerable.

She clenched her fists tightly. “What makes you think I won’t buy it?”

“Look at yourself! You don't look like you’re here to buy anything,” the sales assistant retorted.

“What’s wrong with the way I look?” Sophie asked defensively.

The staff studied her from head to toe. “You look poor,” she said in a sarcastic tone, not bothering to hide her disdain at all, much to the annoyance of Sophie.

Right then, the number of customers in the store increased, and the ladies who had witnessed the exchange could not resist rolling their eyes at Sophie.

One of them even started speaking up as she browsed through the racks. “Honestly, do they just let anyone in here these days?”
