Chapter: 1029
Sergio was significantly wealthier than Marnie.
Fortunately, Claire wasn’t overly fixated on social status. She recognized that Sergio was dedicated to his studies and might
have difficulty finding love, so she accepted Marnie. Claire thought Marnie must have something that Sergio liked. Otherwise, he
wouldn’t have chosen her to be his girlfriend.
Two days ago, curious about her son’s girlfriend, Claire invited a few affluent female friends to join her for a shopping outing.
Together, they visited the clothing boutique where Marnie was employed.
There were other customers already in the shop.
Two high school girls dressed in plain clothes were trying on outfits. Marnie appeared disinterested in them and kept glancing at
the door. However, when Claire and her well-dressed friends entered, Marnie’s expression suddenly brightened with enthusiasm.
Marnie left the girls and hurried over to greet Claire’s group with a warm smile, eagerly showcasing the clothing to them.
Claire couldn’t hide her dissatisfaction with Marnie’s disregard for the two girls.
Unaware of Claire’s reaction, Marnie focused on pleasing Claire and Claire’s companions as best she could.
When Claire wandered through the store with her back turned, she heard a dispute arise between Marnie and the two girls.
The girls wanted to try on another size and sought out Marnie, who had been assisting them. However, the situation escalated
into an argument.
Marnie became impatient with them and rudely remarked, “If you can’t afford them, don’t bother trying them on!”
One of the girls was sensitive. Her face flushed instantly. The other was furious and declared her intent to file a complaint against
Marnie.
After the altercation, Marnie’s demeanor turned arrogant, and she challenged those girls, saying, “Go ahead, file a grievance
against me! Do you know who my boyfriend is? I don’t give a toss about your complaint!”
Claire’s expression darkened.
At that moment, she felt a profound sense of embarrassment.
As Claire listened to Marnie’s words, panic began to set in. Claire worried that her wealthy friends might discover Marnie was
talking about Sergio. Claire quickly intervened, diffusing the situation and helping the girls out.
Marnie projected a sense of self-importance through her connections but seemed subdued in the presence of Claire and the
other affluent ladies.
The incident had been resolved peacefully in the end. However, Claire was far from impressed with Marnie’s attitude. Claire’s
first impression of Marnie was not a good one.
Meanwhile, Sergio hadn’t returned for two days due to his recent work commitments. Claire hadn’t found the opportunity to
discuss the incident with him.
Feeling terrible, Claire hesitated to burden Wanda with this issue. She wasn’t close with Kira and didn’t want to involve her
affluent friends. So she confided in Sabrina and Lena.
Sabrina didn’t want to comment too much on what she thought about the incident. Instead, she offered Claire some comforting
words. “Try not to worry. They haven’t been together for Long. They might break up.”
Claire nodded, agreeing. “You’re right. I was too impatient.” Later, Claire left, and Jennie went to the yard to play. Sabrina and
Lena remained at the table, engaged in conversation.
