Chapter 373 Sudden Attack

Shirley got even more excited and said, "Fine, I'll pay five hundred thousand dollars!"

"Five hundred thousand? Wow, you must be loaded. I can't compete with that! Miss, what are you waiting for? She's offering five hundred thousand for your item. Think about the commission! Hurry up and take the money!" Sarah laughed and kept urging the sales clerk.

"Why aren't you raising the price anymore?" Shirley was stunned.

"You're really foolish. Do you think I am as brainless as you, spending $ 500,000 on something worth only $120,000?" Sarah made a face at Shirley and winked proudly at Jessie.

Jessie was both amused and exasperated by Sarah's antics. She finally saw how mischievous Sarah could be!

Sarah and the gentle Chloe had completely different personalities. It was really curious how they became best friends.

"Sarah, I think we should let it go. Five hundred thousand is no small amount. Let's not make things difficult for her." Hannah pulled Sarah aside and advised her.

Although she was also very angry with Shirley, she didn't want to be so ruthless, nor did she want to escalate the situation.

Losing tens of thousands of dollars at once would definitely upset Shirley and could cause more trouble.

"I'm not forcing her to buy it. She wants to buy it herself!" Sarah said dismissively.

Shirley was angry; her face turned ugly, but she couldn't refute it.

"Miss, are you really going to buy this necklace for five hundred thousand dollars?" The sales clerk was also in a dilemma, holding the credit card and not knowing what to do.

If it were another clerk, they might have just swiped the card, thinking the money was already in hand, regardless of whether the buyer would regret it later.

"Are you crazy for money? Who would spend five hundred thousand on this lousy necklace? Even if I buy it, it will be at the original price!" Daniel shouted before Shirley could speak.

Sarah wanted to mock some more, but Jessie finally spoke up.

"If you want it, then take it! We'll choose something else." As soon as Jessie said this, Sarah lost her temper. Since Jessie had spoken, she didn't dare to go against her.

"Good to see you know your place. Hurry up and take it down. If you break it, you'll have to pay for it!" Shirley felt like she had regained her lost dignity and urged Jessie with dissatisfaction.

"Camila, let's give this necklace to the lady. We'll buy another one, okay?" Jessie squatted down and gently persuaded Camila.

"But I really like it!" Camila looked at the necklace on her chest with a pitiful expression, reluctant to part with it.

"Are you done yet? Just take the necklace off. Why ask a child for permission?" Shirley became impatient and stepped forward to take the necklace off Camila's neck herself.

Camila, who already didn't like Shirley, started to struggle as soon as she reached out.

"How dare you dodge? This is my necklace!" Shirley, frustrated by her failed attempt, became furious and used more force. Before Jessie and the others could react, Camila was pushed to the ground and started crying.

Fortunately, Camila lifted her head when she fell, avoiding injury to her mouth and nose. However, the necklace on her chest hit the ground, chipping a small piece.

"Camila, are you okay?" Hannah quickly picked Camila up and comforted her.

"You brat, you broke my necklace. You have to pay for it!" Shirley didn't care about Camila's fall. Instead, she yelled when she saw the chipped necklace.

In response, Jessie slapped Shirley without warning, leaving her stunned.

"Good hit! She deserves it. How can she hit a little girl? Does she have no shame?" Sarah felt satisfied and clapped her hands.

"You, how dare you hit me?" Shirley took a while to shake off her reverie and, holding her swollen face, glared at Jessie.

"If anything happens to my granddaughter, even killing you wouldn't ease my anger!" Jessie coldly snorted.

Facing Jessie's sudden fierce gaze, even a tough woman like Shirley felt intimidated. This was her aura!

"How can you hit her?" Daniel was also stunned, and his face darkened.

"I said she deserved it. If anything happens to my granddaughter, killing her would be too lenient!" Jessie showed her protective nature. Even though Camila wasn't her biological granddaughter, she called her grandma, and she was Ethan's goddaughter.

"Big words. Do you know who I am?" Daniel angrily asked.

"Daniel, they bullied me and hit me. You have to stand up for me!" Shirley, intimidated by Jessie's aura, cried in Daniel's arms.

"I don't care who you are. It makes no difference to me!" Jessie said indifferently.

"Ignorant woman, the owner of this Velvet Jewelry Store is my friend. You've messed with the wrong person today. No one in Baytown dares to talk to me like this!" Daniel was furious that Jessie looked down on him.

"Baytown? Are you a coal seller?" Sarah sneered, realizing he was a nouveau riche from the coal industry.

"That's right. I'm Daniel, one of the top five coal merchants in Baytown. Even in Everglow City, many people know my name! Apologize to my wife now, or I'll have my friend handle this, and it won't just be about money!" Daniel proudly revealed his identity and threatened Jessie and the others.

"Apologize? You're dreaming! I want to see what you can do to us. A nouveau riche from Baytown dares to act tough in Everglow City. You're asking for it!" Sarah mocked.

"Who are you to talk so big?" Seeing their calm faces, Daniel started to doubt.

Although he was a nouveau riche, he wasn't stupid. He knew Everglow City was full of powerful people. Could he have messed with the wrong people today?

"Have you heard of the Harris family?" Sarah sneered.

"The Harris family?" Daniel frowned, not understanding the significance of the Harris family.

"What about the Miller family? Have you heard of them?" Chloe asked.

Daniel thought there were so many powerful families in Everglow City. Who knew where these two came from?

At that moment, the store owner, Alvin Weaver, who his staff had informed, rushed out of his office.

"Daniel, why didn't you tell me you were coming? A surprise visit, huh?" Clearly, Alvin and Daniel were old acquaintances. Seeing him causing trouble, Alvin greeted him with a smile.
