The Cherished Wife

Chapter 137

Winter did not understand these matters, so she asked her father for help. However, her father said he was powerless.

It turned out the malls in Brookville were all owned by the Hoffman family? If that were the case, why was Charles not helping Frotconn? Was Xavier not related to Charles?

"I..."

"Miss? What do you want to complain about?"

"I..." Winter bit her lip. "I want to buy those shoes, but your store refuses to sell them to me. Don't you want to do business? Do you know who I am?" Winter continued, "I have money, yet you refuse my business. Does that make sense? And your sales attendant is very rude. She's completely lacking manners. Why did your store hire such people?"

Winter did not dare to direct her anger at Charles, but she could still vent about the sales attendant.

The manager raised an eyebrow and looked at Winter. He was surprised she still dared to speak like that. Those shoes were chosen by Charles. Hardly anyone in the world would dare to compete with him for something.

The manager pretended to probe the sales attendant. "Is what this lady said true?"

The sales attendant feigned shock. "How could that be possible? In our service industry, customers are paramount. Customers are always right. But Mr. Hoffman selected these shoes and... has already paid for them!"

"Nonsense! When did he pay?" Winter could not hold back when she heard the sales attendant lying. "We have so many witnesses and cameras here. You're lying!"

"I'm not lying. Mr. Hoffman doesn't

need to pay. Whatever he chooses is

his. Mr. Hoffman doesn't need to pay for anything in any mall in Brookville. It's understandable if you didn't know, so let me tell you now that Mr. Hoffman is the owner of this mall," the sales attendant said in a condescending tone.

"Even if Mr. Hoffman wanted everything in this mall, he wouldn't need to pay."

Winter turned pale, her mouth opening and closing without uttering a word.

The manager coughed. "It's all cleared up now. It was a misunderstanding. It's understandable that this young lady didn't know our boss as not everyone can recognize Mr. Hoffman."

He continued, "Since these shoes already have an owner, why don't you look at other pairs?"

"Let's just go!" Suzy felt embarrassed, especially in such a high-end store where the clientele included wealthy ladies and heiresses. She did not want to be the subject of gossip.

Suzy and Annie then pulled Winter

away. Although Annie and Winter were resentful, Suzy remained

would look bad if someone saw you.

"Besides, that man is Charles Hoffman. Do you really want to offend him?"

Winter bit her lip and glared at Noelle before reluctantly leaving.

As Suzy dragged Winter away, she glanced back at Charles. Throughout the entire episode, Charles did not say much and never even looked at them. However, his natural charisma made him hard to ignore.

Noelle bit her lip. As she watched them leave, she felt resigned. "She's really going to hold a grudge against me now."
