Chapter 1268: Easily Slapped Away
"You heard what she said, ask her for the money," Aurelia Shaw told the shop assistant.
Iris Cooper’s face was both pale and flushed; that was over eight hundred thousand, and she only wanted to humiliate Aurelia Shaw, not really pay! That damned wench! Right, there was another condition...
Iris Cooper quickly composed herself, raised the corners of her mouth, "Though I would really like to give it to you, just having this condition isn’t enough. The reason why this shop is the most luxurious and prestigious in Capital City isn’t just because of the minimum spending requirement. There’s a more important condition.
Identity."
This was precisely what Aurelia Shaw, who was powerless and without influence in Capital City, lacked.
Even if Mason Nightshade was her support, what difference did it make? The two weren’t married, and everything Mason Nightshade owned wasn’t hers.
What did it matter if she was the hottest star? She meant nothing to the powerful and influential people in Capital City.
Iris Cooper was ready to ruthlessly humiliate Aurelia Shaw once and for all.
"Eh, Miss Shaw has eligibility to join the membership," the shop assistant exclaimed.
"I said you... what did you say?" Iris Cooper belatedly reacted and immediately widened her eyes, "Impossible! How could she have membership eligibility? Your system must be wrong, check it again thoroughly."
"Miss Cooper, our system is absolutely error-free. As for why Miss Shaw has membership eligibility... this involves customer privacy, so we’re not aware, just know that Miss Shaw is eligible," the assistant said, pointing to the right, "Miss Cooper, please come this way to make the payment."
Iris Cooper’s face turned ashen, her fingers clenched around her wallet, wishing she could take back everything she said.
Aurelia Shaw casually remarked:
"You wouldn’t be thinking of backing out, would you? Tsk tsk, so many people are listening... Sigh, if you really can’t afford it, you don’t have to struggle; a mere 888,888, I can cover it myself."
"Who said I can’t afford it!" Provoked by Aurelia Shaw’s words, Iris Cooper immediately pulled out her wallet and threw it to the assistant, "Charge it!"
"Miss Cooper is truly generous, unlike me who would never have the guts to pay 888,888 for a stranger’s membership fee," Aurelia Shaw, having gained an advantage, didn’t miss the chance to sarcastically mock the other’s foolishness.
Low giggles rose around them.
Iris Cooper’s face swelled with anger, but it was alright; once inside, she had plenty of ways to deal with her!
"Miss Cooper is busy here with the payment; I’ll head in first," Aurelia Shaw said, not looking back as she walked away.
Was she being treated like her assistant? The plan Iris Cooper had prepared to torment Aurelia Shaw all went up in smoke, and there was even a feeling of being ordered around, making her lungs ache with anger.
Yet, with so many people watching, she couldn’t lose her temper, so Iris Cooper had to swallow it down, the suppressed frustration making her stomach ache.
...
Aurelia Shaw immediately cast Iris Cooper aside, searching the banquet hall but not finding Mason Nightshade’s presence.
Given Mason Nightshade’s status, he was probably in a private room talking with the host and wouldn’t be in a place like this, right?
Thinking of this made Aurelia Shaw feel slightly dejected, so she sought a quiet place to sit.
She reclined on the sofa casually, like a cat, supporting her head with one hand, her enchanting eyes involuntarily scanning the people passing by, just in case she ran into Mason Nightshade.
However, this scene to outsiders seemed like she was searching for a suitable wealthy husband.
From the shadows, a pair of eyes locked onto Aurelia Shaw.
In unfamiliar surroundings, Aurelia Shaw was highly vigilant. Upon sensing an intense gaze fixed on her, she instantly turned her head.
