Chapter 71 Can You Afford It?
Kate’s gaze quickly settled on a dark ink–colored suit.
The cool tone and sharp design immediately struck a chord with Kate.
Eric was tall and had a somewhat cold demeanour. Most of his suits were black or grey, making him look austere and aloof, exuding an almost unreasonable sense of dominance.
The design of this piece was also very stylish. At a glance, Kate felt it would highlight Eric’s narrow waist and long legs, perfectly complementing his figure.
Next to the suit, there were matching silver cufflinks, understated yet mysterious.
Just as Kate was about to reach out to take off the suit, a hand faster than hers swiftly removed the suit. At the same time, a sneering voice echoed in Kate’s ear, “Anyone can enter a luxury store now? Do you know this suit starts at least a hundred thousand? Can you afford it? If you’re not buying, then don’t touch it!”
The sudden mocking voice made Kate’s body stiffen for a moment. Then, a flash of coldness. passed through her eyes behind the sunglasses. She quickly looked to the side and saw the attendant who had taken off the suit, obsequiously presenting it to the glamorous woman next to her. “Mrs. Xavier, please have a look at this suit!”
“This is the highest–end bespoke suit in our store, crafted by the internationally renowned fashion designer, William. It’s a unique masterpiece by Master William, and there’s only one like it in the world!”
The glamorous woman glanced casually at the suit and showed a somewhat satisfied expression. She reluctantly said, “This piece barely matches my Darling. Wrap it up for me.
At the same time, she cast a disdainful glance at Kate, arrogantly turned her body, and walked towards the cashier.
Watching the store clerk gleefully holding the suit, Kate spoke coldly, “Wait.”
The store clerk hesitated momentarily, then looked at Kate with a very dissatisfied look and said, “What do you want?”
After listening to the store clerk’s disdainful tone, Kate’s gaze grew even colder. “I saw this suit first,” she said firmly.
She was about to reach out and take the suit off, but the store clerk suddenly rushed out and intercepted her, even mocking her with words.
Does she think I have no temper? Did she say I couldn’t afford it? Who does she think she is looking down upon?
The store clerk rolled her eyes and said rudely, “So what if you saw it first? Can you afford it? If you can’t afford it, step aside and don’t waste our time! Oh, and by the way, this is a high–end area. and photography is prohibited. If you want to take photos, please go over there!”

The store clerk pointed unapologetically to a corner of the store.
+5 Pearls
Kate looked in the direction the store clerk pointed and saw several girls on the other side, taking photos in front of the mirror and the luxury items in the store.
Kate smiled.
Are they mistaking me for a fake socialite?
The dignified Ms. Lowe, Eric’s wife, is mistaken for a fake socialite for the first time. This feeling… Hey, it’s quite novel!
The store clerk looked at her smiling face with even more disdain in her eyes, continuing to mock, “This isn’t the place for people like you. You’d better find your place. If you offend our valued customers in the store, you won’t be able to handle the consequences!”
With that, the store clerk turned around arrogantly and walked away.
George’s eyes were full of anger. He couldn’t help but whisper, “Madam, we….
Kate raised her hand to stop George from speaking and smiled calmly. “There’s no need to get angry with people like that. They’re not worth it. Even if a dog bites you, can you bite back?”
Store clerk’s ears perked up, and she heard Kate’s remark. She turned back with clear dissatisfaction, her eyes practically spitting fire. “Who are you calling a dog?”
Kate smiled faintly. “Whoever interrupts is the dog.”
