Chapter 47
In the evening, Gilda and Megan went to pick up something from a luxury store.
As soon as they entered the store, the staff immediately reported to the customer manager after knowing that Gilda had arrived.
The customer manager smiled and said, “Ms. Lynch, please wait a minute. The jewelry you ordered is too expensive and it’s still in the safe. We need time to get it. Let me show you others first.”
Gilda nodded slightly and said, “It’s okay. We’ll have a look around by ourselves.”
Megan and Gilda walked around and said in low spirits, “Honey, the clothes on the first floor don’t look good. They are all leftovers. Let’s go to the second floor.”
And Megan was going to take Gilda to the second floor.
However, the customer manager awkwardly apologized, “I’m terribly sorry, but the second floor has been reserved by several ladies. It’s not convenient for you to enter and select clothes.”
Gilda smiled at the customer manager and said, “It’s okay. We will just get the jewelry and leave.”
The customer manager thanked Gilda gratefully. It was rare to meet such a rich customer who wasn’t so picky.
Gilda took Megan to sit on the sofa, and they played phone games together happily. The conversation between Gilda and Megan downstairs was heard by Carol, who was on the second floor.
Carol looked down through the glass and saw that it was Gilda, and her expression suddenly changed.
The lady beside Carol covered her mouth and snickered, “Mrs. Harrington, the Harrington family got famous online for maltreating your ex–daughter–in–law. Is the rumor true?”
“I heard that your daughter Sherry was taken away by the police. Has she been released yet?”
The rich people were good at bullying the weak, so everyone seized the opportunity to ridicule Carol now.
Carol showed a cold smile and clenched the glass in her hand more tightly. “How could it be true? Harrington Corporation has already made a statement. It was all nonsense. Sherry just cooperated with the police investigation. She has been studying abroad recently,” Carol said.
At this time, the laughter coming downstairs sounded particularly harsh to Carol. She couldn’t hold back her anger for a moment and rushed downstairs, saying arrogantly to Gilda and Megan, “I was wondering who it could be. It turns out to be you, bitch.”
“How could you be so rude?” Megan immediately stood up and was about to argue when Gilda calmly stopped her.
‘Don’t care about her. There’s nothing to talk to such a person,” Gilda said. She was calm and glanced at the

customer manager, adding, “Keep my jewelry for me. I’ll pick it up another day?”

Gilda had felt indifferent about the Harrington family. There was no need to be angry about them.
The customer manager checked the time and advised Gilda, “Ms. Lynch, your jewelry is already on the way. Why don’t you wait for another five minutes?”
“Okay,” Gilda agreed. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Gilda would wear the necklace at the party in a few days, so she decided to wait.
Carol was frustrated. She didn’t expect that Gilda simply ignored her.
“Things here are not cheap. Can you afford them?” Carol folded her arms and sneered, looking arrogant. “How about I take pity on you and buy you something?” Carol added.
“Take your clothes and get out of here. Stop saying that the Harrington family treated you badly and keep your mouth shut, okay?” Carol shouted.
Upon hearing this, Megan became so incensed that she abruptly stood up and confronted Carol, exclaiming, “What do you mean? How could you be so snobbish?”
However, Gilda raised her eyebrow and smiled, saying calmly, “Mrs. Harrington, you’re so generous. Can I really choose whatever I want?”
“Of course.” Carol raised her head and instructed the staff to show Gilda around.
In recent days, Carol had grown weary of the online harassment and the ridicule from her friends. She was determined to reclaim her dignity.
Although the clothes in this store were expensive, Carol believed she could afford them. Even if Gilda was out of her mind and wanted to buy all the clothes, Carol would pay for them.
Gilda looked around and said lightly, “I don’t want the clothes here.”
Carol crossed her arms and sneered, saying, “Sure enough, you don’t have the gut. A little money will frighten you.”
At this time, a white escort vehicle stopped outside the store, and two armed escorts stepped out with a silver suitcase.
The customer manager looked at them and said in a hurry, “Ms. Lynch, here it is.”
Then the manager took over the suitcase. After putting on white gloves, she carefully opened the first layer to reveal the precious blue velvet jewelry box. Then she opened the second layer, and a bright necklace was lying quietly inside.
Gilda said in a casual tone, “Mrs. Harrington, since you want to give me something, I just want this necklace.”
After that, Gilda turned to the customer manager and asked, “How much is it?”
“Ms. Lynch, it costs 36 million dollars,” the manager replied.

Hearing this, Carol was so frightened that she dropped the glass and opened her mouth wide in surprise.
“The necklace costs 36 million dollars! I don’t have that much money at all!‘ she exclaimed inwardly.
