“Madam, would you like to look at other jewelry? We have many different styles here,” the saleswoman looked at the woman and said with a smile.

“I was interested in the earrings as soon as I saw them when I walked in. Just give me those.” The woman was still looking at the earrings. When Winnie was wearing them just now, she thought they looked radiant.

But looking at the earrings individually right now, they seemed a bit ordinary.

As a woman, she certainly understood that Winnie was the one who made the earrings look better, just like how some people could look fashionable even if they were dressed in rags.

The woman also started feeling jealous of Winnie’s youth and beauty in an instant. So, she wanted to buy the same earrings as Winnie no matter what, in an attempt to compete with her.

Seeing this, the saleswoman explained, “Madam, there’s only one pair of those earrings left. Would you like to look at other jewelry?”

“Only one pair left?”

The woman frowned slightly and immediately thought that the earrings seemed to look better than before.

“I want this,” the woman looked at the earrings firmly and said again.

Winnie’s expression changed a little. She saw this pair of earrings first and there was only one pair left right now. What should she do?

Apparently, the saleswoman had never thought that the woman would only be interested in the earrings Winnie tried on. She frowned slightly, then came up and said to this lady, “Give me the earrings.”

“But…”

The lady glanced at Alger hesitantly. “But this Madam and her husband saw the earrings first.”

There should be an order in everything, right?

“I asked you to give them to me, so give them to me. Why do you have to say so much nonsense? Can these two people afford them?” The saleswoman stared at the lady and said with a deep voice, “You don’t want to work here tomorrow, do you?”

Alger and Winnie both looked like they were poor. They didn’t seem to be able to afford the earrings.

Rather than wasting time with them, she should instead give the earrings to the woman who had just come. By doing this, she could win the favor of this woman, and maybe the woman might even buy a few more pieces of jewelry later.

The lady was still a bit hesitant. Looking at this, the saleswoman’s face darkened. Then, without any hesitation, she walked towards the lady, in order to snatch the earrings away.

But when the saleswoman was about to get the earrings, Alger took them in his hand.

“We’re here first and we have already taken the earrings. Don’t you understand?” A hint of coldness flashed through Alger’s eyes. He had tolerated the saleswoman for a long time.

“Hm! Can’t you look at how much they are?”

The saleswoman snickered and said while looking at Alger, “Don’t waste my time here. Give me the earrings quickly.”

“Get lost.”

Alger only said two words.

The saleswoman was so enraged that her chest heaved. That woman behind her also came up and said to Alger and Winnie, “If you haven’t paid for these, you can’t say that they’re yours.

“It’s truly rude for you to keep holding them in your hand like that.”

Alger rolled his eyes at the woman and ignored her. He then said to the lady on the side, “We’ll take the earrings. Pack them up for us.”

“I’m talking to you. Do you hear me?”

The woman was even more enraged when she saw Alger ignore her.

Winnie pulled Alger’s clothes, then walked forward and said while looking at the woman, “Madam, I’ve already tried these earrings on, and we indeed came here first…”

The man behind the woman thought that Winnie was like a little white flower. Her pitiful look could indeed break a lot of people’s hearts.

Seeing this, he also grabbed the woman’s arm and said, “Why don’t we just let it go? Isn’t there other jewelry in this shop? You can just choose another one. Just give these to the beautiful lady. Plus, I think they look better on her than on you.”

It was fine if the man didn’t talk. But once he did, the expression of this woman became a bit distorted.

How would she possibly not know what this man was thinking in his mind? He was a bit stirred after seeing Winnie’s young and lovely face!

The woman turned around and stared at the man fiercely. “Who’s your wife? I just like this pair of earrings. How do you know they look better on her than on me?”

After being reprimanded furiously, the man dared not say anything else again. He could only nod obediently with his neck shrunk. It looked like he was afraid of his wife.

The woman turned around and looked at Winnie. Judging from her weak look right now, she was totally like a cunning fox.

Thinking back to what the man said about how the earrings looked better on Winnie than on her, the woman couldn’t resign herself to that in her mind.

“It may not sound nice for me to say this, but can you afford the jewelry here?” The woman crossed her arms in front of her chest, then looked at Winnie and said as she frowned, “If you don’t have that ability, you better put down those earrings.

“Besides, haven’t your parents taught you manners? If this is the last pair of the earrings, you shouldn’t try them on. People like you don’t respect others at all!”

“Right! What about the other customers after you try them on?” The saleswoman also agreed.

Winnie’s face turned pale after being reproached by the woman and the saleswoman. She instantly felt aggrieved in her mind.

If she had known that this was the last pair of the earrings, she would never try them on like that.

Besides, Winnie was willing to try them on only because she had decided to buy them. Who would have thought this would happen?

“No, I asked this lady to try them on, and they’ve already decided to buy them.” The female intern quickly explained after seeing this.

“Shut up!” The saleswoman scolded, “I still haven’t reproached you for letting people like them try our jewelry so easily. How dare you still speak?!”

Winnie looked even paler, which broke Alger’s heart.

However, that woman didn’t seem to notice this. After sizing up Alger and Winnie a few times, she didn’t even take them seriously.

She looked at the saleswoman and said, “Go sanitize those earrings for me. Otherwise, I don’t dare to wear them. Infectious diseases are very serious right now. Some people might be carrying dirty germs on their bodies.

“I’ll take the earrings, but you must sanitize them for me. Do you understand?”

“Don’t worry, Madam. I’ll definitely sanitize the earrings all over!” the saleswoman quickly nodded and said.

The two of them spoke as though the earrings were already something that belonged to the woman.

“What do you mean? Who are you talking about?”

Alger held Winnie in his arms and shouted furiously as he looked at the woman, “Are you talking about your face that looks like shit? It’s already become stiff because you injected too many toxins inside. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?

“I’m not sure how many injections have you got on your body. I think someone like you should be the one who needs to be sanitized. Your heart is so dirty that it’s already full of bugs, right?”

It was fine if this woman wanted to take the earrings as her own, but she dared to ridicule Winnie, saying that she was dirty. She had truly gone too far!

“What… What are you talking about?” The woman looked at Alger in disbelief. She was so angry that her body started shaking.. Alger actually said her face was stiff?
