Chapter 30: YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM?

In front of Hailee was a young woman with skin as white as milk, wearing a short yellow skirt and a matching blazer, not only that, from one glance at all the accessories she donned, Hailee could tell that this young woman was a daughter of one of the famous businessman elites in this city A.

But, of course, the way this woman talked and how she looked down on other people, was just beyond annoying.

"What did you say?" the woman said removing the sunglasses studded with diamonds on the frame off her eyes, Hailee could tell that the diamonds were fake, after all, she inherited her exceptional appraising ability from her parents. "You don't know who I am?"

The annoying woman clutched her glasses and glared at Hailee. She was so upset when she heard Hailee's refusal.

"You can sit there," Hailee nodded toward the long sofa, not far from the single sofa she was currently sitting on.

Hailee could understand why this woman wanted to sit in this particular seat, because from here the view was much nicer and also the lighting was much better, while on the other sofa, it was right next to the reception desk and it was a bit annoying with the various conversations the staff are having there.

After saying her piece, Hailee returned to flipping through the fashion magazines that she had seen earlier. The girl did not expect that this woman would snatch it from her hands and throw it roughly on the round table in front of her.

Placing both her hands on either side of her hips, the young woman glared at Hailee with obvious irritation.

"Who do you think you are!?"she exclaimed. "You do not know who I am?!" she repeated the annoying question again.

Instead of getting up from where she was sitting, Hailee leaned back comfortably into the sofa and crossed her legs one over the other leisurely.

At this point, it was no longer a matter of who got to sit on the single sofa, but a matter of who was the most stubborn person of the two of them, and in that case, Hailee didn't disappoint at all.

"No," Hailee replied casually. "I have no idea who you are."

This girl did look cute and cheerful on the outside, but that didn't mean she couldn't turn into a snarling and sarcastic b*tch when someone was bothering her or intending to bully her.

"What?!" The woman's face turned bright red from holding back anger.

Meanwhile, some people were already starting to notice the small quarrel that had occurred between the two young women. How could they not? This woman's voice was so loud.

"I am the second daughter of the Bell family, Ariana Bell!" She hissed her name loud enough to make several people turn their heads at them.

Of course the Bells were one of the elite families in city A, they were one of the most famous banker families in the city, but their status still couldn't match that of the Tordoffs.

Hailee had heard of the Bell family, but didn't really pay attention to their family members, because she never thought that one day she would meet an annoying fly from that family.

Afterward, this young woman named Ariana smiled narrowly and lifted her chin arrogantly, hoping that Hailee would show a surprised expression and apologize to her right away.

However, any of that didn't happen, because after hearing her name, only one word left Hailee's lips who didn't even bother to change her facial expression.

"Then?" she asked with an innocent face, as if knowing this woman in front of her was a member of the Bell family wasn't a big deal for her.

Hailee never thought that in high society, the good name of the family could be used in a variety of circumstances, especially when you wanted to pressure others who had a lower social status than you.

Hailee had never noticed this before.

Now she just realized how annoying it was for people who clung to their surnames and acted around without contributing anything.

"Then?" Ariana exclaimed loudly as her voice raised several octaves and this made more and more people curious to see what was really going on.

"Yes, then what?" Hailee asked back. Back in school, she had friends who were similar to Ariana, even though her friends never bullied her or bothered her, because they knew that Hailee was not from any random family, but they would bully her other friends. Just like Ariana was doing to Hailee today.

"You must not be from city A, what family are you from?" a wicked smile etched on her lips. Ariana felt she had the upper hand because she found someone from the lower class.

"Keeping aside my family or where I come from, does a Bell family member have to get a sofa like this?" Hailee continued with her innocent face. It was of great satisfaction for Hailee to play with Ariana's emotions.

People like this were very easy to get emotional to start with and for Hailee, this was enough for her to channel the stress she had been experiencing during the past few days.

"If that's the case, why don't you just bring your own sofa?" Hailee asked, she gave Ariana a sweet smile and of course this made the young woman even more upset.

Ariana snorted. "You are definitely not from this town." she tossed her black, curly hair gracefully. "You would never dare talk back to me like this if you knew the Bell family."

Right after she said that, a woman in her thirties, approached them, from the clothes she was wearing and the badge on her chest, Hailee could tell that this woman was named Elvina Zeline. Manager on floor, in charge at this time.

"What is this?" Elvina asked as she approached the commotion Ariana had created.

However, the female manager's eyes immediately caught on to Hailee and Ariana's appearance, and she quickly decided who to side with.

She couldn't be blamed either, because the clothes Hailee wearing were so much simpler than what Ariana was wearing.

Hailee wore only a plain T-shirt and jeans and sneakers, because she had just come over to the Tordoffs' house and hadn't had the chance to buy anything formal.

"Ms. Zeline, how can you let someone like her into this office?" Ariana pointed to Hailee with her curved fingers and red nails. "I want to sit on that sofa and I want you to make her go away."

"What kind of person do you mean by 'Someone like this'?" Hailee frowned.

"Sorry Miss, but you should not prolong this matter any further," Elvina was still trying to be polite.

"You do not know who I am?" this time it was Hailee who asked the question.
