Chapter 97 - How To Deal With Wendy

Scarlett selected some comfortable ones for shopping from her armoire of haute couture.

The shop assistant recognized the brands of Scarlett's clothes; however, she was not sure if they were good knockoffs. But she could confidently say that those on Miffy were cheapies.

The assistant thought the rich would not make friends with the poor; therefore, Scarlett could not have the power to threaten her.

Then her attitude became even worse.

"Evidence's not important. That things in our store are not affordable for you is important. You two have been in our store for a long time but bought nothing. Why do you carry such big bags if you want to buy nothing? I guess you want to steal. Give me your bags now, or I'll call the police."

Scarlett would like to have been considerate and understanding because shop assistants could be tired and busy, but this shop assistant was too annoying.

She had persuaded herself that Miffy and Scarlett were thieves.

She became angry and impatient.

Scarlett frowned, which made her look more delicate and lovable as a pretty woman who was so weak but had suffered a lot.

Jett was touched and wanted to help her.

Mike was his good friend. He would not allow others to bully his woman.

Ben stopped Jett, "Sit."

"Someone was bulling Mike's woman in front of us! And you want to be a spectator?"

Ben said calmly, "If she is really vulnerable, Mike would not have lost his temper that much."

"You haven't seen how gentle she is? She is a ..."

The situation had changed.

Jett didn't expect that Scarlett's delicate appearance was only an appearance. It was obvious that she could deal with the thing herself.

"Show the evidence, or you have no rights to search us. In addition, how do you know we can't afford these? Haven't you learned to respect your customers?"

Scarlett's retaliation was effective.

The shop assistant thought Scarlett was delicate and weak, but the truth was that she was sharp and potent. The shop assistant felt being threatened by Scarlett's power.

"In short, we must search your bags before you leave our store!"

The assistant became less aggressive, but she refused to give up.

Other shop assistants helped this one surround Scarlett and Miffy and tried to persuade them to hand over the bags.

"Scarlett, never mind. Let them."

Miffy didn't want to quarrel with a group of people and wanted to put a stop to this thing.

"No. It's not our fault. And my principle is people should shoulder their own responsibilities. We have done nothing, and if they've lost something, they should pay the price."

Scarlett was stubborn and strong. She would fight back no matter who provoked her.

When the two sides were in a deadlock, the shop door opened. All the shop assistants welcomed the woman coming in.

They became respectful and kind because this woman was a platinum VIP of their store.

"Ms. Lauren, it's been a long time since you came last time." The shop assistant who troubled Scarlett greeted her first, and she smiled brightly.

Scarlett and Wendy's hostile gazes met in the air. Scarlett wished she could slap Wendy on her face.

Jett couldn't help but whistle when he saw Wendy.

"Jett? Your taste of women is even worse than I expect." Ben thought that Jett had taken a fancy to Wendy and looked at him with disdain.

That woman looked sophisticated and frivolous. She was not an ideal choice to build a close relationship.

"Stop teasing me. Do you know who she is?"

Jett leaned on Ben's back and whispered to his ear about the issues between Wendy and Mike.

Ben raised his eyebrows for such information.

"Are you saying that Mike wants you to break Allen's leg and investigate Wendy?"

Jett nodded, "What the hell is Mike doing? Aren't they Scarlett's families?"

Ben's expression changed. He became more interested in those matters.

He once again recalled that night he sent Mike home.

Mike's words appeared in Ben's mind.

"Why does she want to go home? That shabby little home. How can she divorce me for that thing?"

Ben suddenly understood why Mike did all these.

How ruthless this beast Mike was! He wanted to destroy all Scarlett had and make himself the only one in her world!

For a moment, Ben didn't know which one deserved more sympathy.

Ben couldn't help but think about what Scarlett had done to make Mike do all these to her.

And was Scarlett fortunate or unfortunate to meet such a man?

"Jett. Tell you a principle."

"What?" Jett answered, and his eyes still fixed on Wendy and Scarlett.

He believed these two women would begin fighting at any time, and he needed to help Mike's woman if it was necessary.

"Don't tease that woman in front of Mike. Or you might suffer or worse, die."

Wendy's ear-piercing voice covered up Ben's following words.

"Scarlett? You're finally disgusted and abandoned by your husband?"

Wendy's eyes lit up when she saw Scarlett.

Scarlett was haughty when Wendy called her, and she didn't expect to meet Scarlett here. She wanted to bring her back to the Lauren family.

But Wendy preferred to humiliate Scarlett first.

"Have you had shit before you came out?" Miffy stood beside Scarlett as protector.

Jett had changed his impression of her.

This little apple face was cute.

Ben didn't feel anything. No one was worth thinking about before the one became relative to him.

"You pauper, stay away from me." Wendy looked at Miffy with contempt.

"What's going on?" Wendy casually pointed at Scarlett and asked the shop assistant.

"These two customers have been here for a long time and ran to our blind spot with their bags. I suspect they've stolen something."

"How unbelievable! I didn't expect you were so pitiful!" Wendy said to Scarlett.

Miffy had had enough of Wendy's words and said,

"Mind your behavior, Wendy! Scarlett is your sister!"

"I don't have such a sister."

Wendy turned to the shop assistant and said, "This is my servant. She had done thief things since she was young. You'd better strip off her clothes and search carefully!"

Scarlett rolled her eyes. Wendy had not changed at all.

Scarlett was not afraid of Wendy, but she was hesitant to quarrel.

Mike's friends were there.

She had no idea if they had business cooperation.

If she quarreled with Wendy in the public, Mike's reputation might be affected.
