Chapter: 1029
Sergio was significantly wealthier than Marnie.
Fortunately, Claire wasn’t overly fixated on social status. She recognized that Sergio was dedicated tohis studies and might have difficulty finding love, so she accepted Marnie. Claire thought Marnie musthave something that Sergio liked. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen her to be his girlfriend.
Two days ago, curious about her son’s girlfriend, Claire invited a few affluent female friends to join herfor a shopping outing. Together, they visited the clothing boutique where Marnie was employed.
There were other customers already in the shop.
Two high school girls dressed in plain clothes were trying on outfits. Marnie appeared disinterested inthem and kept glancing at the door. However, when Claire and her well-dressed friends entered,Marnie’s expression suddenly brightened with enthusiasm. Marnie left the girls and hurried over togreet Claire’s group with a warm smile, eagerly showcasing the clothing to them.
Claire couldn’t hide her dissatisfaction with Marnie’s disregard for the two girls.
Unaware of Claire’s reaction, Marnie focused on pleasing Claire and Claire’s companions as best shecould.
When Claire wandered through the store with her back turned, she heard a dispute arise betweenMarnie and the two girls.
The girls wanted to try on another size and sought out Marnie, who had been assisting them. However,the situation escalated into an argument.
Marnie became impatient with them and rudely remarked, “If you can’t afford them, don’t bother tryingthem on!”
One of the girls was sensitive. Her face flushed instantly. The other was furious and declared her intentto file a complaint against Marnie.
After the altercation, Marnie’s demeanor turned arrogant, and she challenged those girls, saying, “Goahead, file a grievance against me! Do you know who my boyfriend is? I don’t give a toss about yourcomplaint!”
Claire’s expression darkened.
At that moment, she felt a profound sense of embarrassment.
As Claire listened to Marnie’s words, panic began to set in. Claire worried that her wealthy friendsmight discover Marnie was talking about Sergio. Claire quickly intervened, diffusing the situation andhelping the girls out.
Marnie projected a sense of self-importance through her connections but seemed subdued in thepresence of Claire and the other affluent ladies.
The incident had been resolved peacefully in the end. However, Claire was far from impressed withMarnie’s attitude. Claire’s first impression of Marnie was not a good one.
Meanwhile, Sergio hadn’t returned for two days due to his recent work commitments. Claire hadn’tfound the opportunity to discuss the incident with him.novelbin
Feeling terrible, Claire hesitated to burden Wanda with this issue. She wasn’t close with Kira and didn’twant to involve her affluent friends. So she confided in Sabrina and Lena.
Sabrina didn’t want to comment too much on what she thought about the incident. Instead, she offeredClaire some comforting words. “Try not to worry. They haven’t been together for Long. They mightbreak up.”
Claire nodded, agreeing. “You’re right. I was too impatient.” Later, Claire left, and Jennie went to theyard to play. Sabrina and
Lena remained at the table, engaged in conversation.
