Chapter 588 Arrogant
Isadora went shopping in the morning because Delphine had been living in constant fear for a while.
Now that the company was back on track and even doing better than before, Delphine was in the mood to go shopping.
Moreover, Ulysses had given a purse to Isadora, so Isadora wanted to buy a gift for Ulysses.
So the two of them decided to go shopping.
Josephine and Kathy also planned to go shopping today.
Josephine's belly was already showing, and Stuart usually accompanied her wherever she went.
But today, Josephine specifically told him not to follow them while the two women went shopping.
He had no choice but to let the bodyguard follow them, just in case he needed to carry a bag.
Josephine didn't refuse, as she didn't want him to worry.
Neither of them had anything specific to buy; they just wanted to go out and shop.
However, Josephine did want to buy something for Kathy.
Because Kathy didn't have the habit of wearing jewelry, her neck and wrists were bare.
Josephine had always wanted to give her something, but never had the time to go out with her.
Now, the two of them could finally go shopping.
As they walked into a jewelry store, they heard someone arguing in the front as soon as they entered.
Kathy instinctively held onto Josephine's arm. "It sounds like someone is arguing over there. Let's not go over."
She was worried about Josephine, considering she was pregnant.
Josephine had originally planned to check out a bracelet she had her eye on in this store and said, "It's okay, we won't go over there. We'll just look around here."
Even though they were in the same store, and it was quite large, the voices over there were loud enough that they gradually understood what was going on.
It seemed like two groups of people were arguing over the same piece of jewelry.
They heard one woman say, "At least you should follow the first-come, first-served rule."
Then another woman said, "What first-come, first-served! If I like it, it's mine! Besides, can you even afford it?"
The latter woman's voice was obviously sharp and mean.
Josephine and Kathy couldn't help but frown when they heard this.
Isadora didn't expect to encounter such absurd people while shopping with her mom.
To be honest, the Penrose family wasn't well-known in Celestia Springs; there were too many wealthy people.
Delphine usually adhered to the principle of harmony, bringing wealth and always valued peace.
But today, this woman was being unreasonable.
Delphine could endure grievances herself, but couldn't bear to see Isadora suffer.
Isadora had her eye on a necklace and was about to pay for it when the woman suddenly said she wanted to buy it.
Delphine said, "Why can't we afford it? We're about to pay."
The woman rolled her eyes. "Aren't you from the Penrose family? I heard the Penrose family is going bankrupt, and you're just pretending to be rich for appearances?"
Josephine and Kathy exchanged glances when they heard "the Penrose family," understanding each other's thoughts.
Was it that Penrose family?
Ulysses' girlfriend?
The one that was going bankrupt and had asked Stuart for help?
The two of them got up in unison and walked closer to hear more clearly.
Delphine pulled Isadora back, not letting her speak. "What happens in our family is none of your business, right? We're all here to shop, not to compare our status."
"But I have more money than you, and that's a fact. So you're beneath me, and that's also a fact. Who do you think you are to talk back to me?" The woman handed the necklace to the clerk. "Wrap it up for me."
Isadora couldn't hold back any longer: "How can you be like this? I've seen unreasonable people, but never someone as unreasonable as you!"
The woman was furious when she heard this and raised her hand to hit someone.
Isadora grabbed her arm. "There are laws in this country. You take other people's things, act all high and mighty, and now you want to hit someone? What, is your dad the President?"
The woman clearly didn't expect Isadora to be so tough.
She was furious. "How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?"
"No, why don't you tell me so I can curse you a few times?" Isadora said, "I just want to see which parents raised such a scumbag like you!"
Delphine didn't want to cause trouble and tugged at Isadora's sleeve.
Isadora looked back at her: "Mom, it's one thing for her to be unreasonable, but I can't stand her insulting you!"
When the woman said Delphine was nothing, Isadora almost slapped her right then and there.
Kathy whispered, "Who is that woman? Do you know her?"
Josephine shook her head.
She wasn't very familiar with the socialites and wealthy wives in the circle.
However, the ones she did know were from the upper echelons.
Not knowing this, one probably meant she wasn't from the upper echelons.
Kathy said, "This is just too unreasonable."
The surroundings were quiet, and Kathy's voice wasn't loud, but the woman happened to hear it.
The woman was already angry and wasn't as quick-witted as Isadora. Hearing Kathy muttering, she immediately said, "Who asked you to meddle!"
Kathy was taken aback and then said, "You really are... that girl was right. You're so arrogant; does your family know?"
The customers here were all wealthy, and the staff and manager didn't dare to intervene, as offending either side wouldn't be good.
Josephine didn't expect that just watching the drama from the side would get them into trouble.
Isadora spoke up, "If you have a problem, come at me. Don't take it out on innocent people! Let's settle this today. I don't believe there's no place for justice in this world!"
"Justice?" The woman's attention was drawn back to Isadora. "Money is justice! Your family is bankrupt, so what are you showing off for?"
Isadora said, "Whether my family is bankrupt or not is another matter, but if your family is full of people like you, bankruptcy is definitely not far off!"
"You dare curse me? Who do you think you are? I can make your family bankrupt right now, believe it or not!"
Isadora wanted to say more, but Delphine pulled her back: "Izzy, let's not stoop to her level. Let's go."
The woman was smug. "Scared? It's good to know fear. Want to leave? Not so easy! You!"
She pointed at Isadora. "Apologize to me!"
Isadora, who wasn't known for her good temper, felt a surge of anger. "Apologize? If I apologize to someone like you, is there any law left in this world? You think you deserve an apology from me?"
The woman clearly didn't expect Isadora to still be so defiant.
She said directly, "Fine, if you don't apologize, I'll make a call right now..."
"Sorry."
"Mom!" Isadora couldn't believe it. "She's gone this far, and we still apologize?"
Delphine said, "It's a small matter; let's not disrupt the business here."
