Whoa!

Maria was surprised, and then she smiled in satisfaction. “Mother, look who we met. Isn’t she my dear sister, Jocelyn?”

“Oh, what a surprise.” Mrs. Wilson turned to look at Jocelyn, who was standing in front of her, and said, “Why is she everywhere?”

Maria sized up Jocelyn from head to toe and said to the staff member beside her, “You can leave! Let this lady serve us!”

She was referring to Jocelyn!

At this moment, Jocelyn remained calm. She walked towards them and said, “Hello, what can I do for you?”

She did not look humiliated at all. Her expression was very calm and her smile was polite.

The sneer on Maria’s lips was very obvious. She casually pointed at the few dresses in front of her. “This one! This one! This one! I want to try all of them.”

“Yes, Miss!”

Jocelyn walked up to the racks and took off the clothes. “Please come with me to the changing room!”

“Go to what changing room? Is that how you serve customers? Can’t you see that I’m wearing high heels? Go get a pair of slippers and put it on for me!” Maria was furious and flung away the clothes that Jocelyn handed to her.

The people around looked at Jocelyn worriedly. This person probably had a grudge against Jocelyn and wanted to order her around. However, they could only watch as Jocelyn was bullied.

Jocelyn was already used to the way Maria treated her. She lowered her head and picked up the clothes on the ground. After checking that the clothes were not damaged, she went to get a pair of slippers for Maria. She had no choice but to bow to her, for the time being.

Jocelyn was already late today. If the customers complained about her again, Anna would punish her even more.

“Maria, that is too much! How can you be so rude to the beautiful Miss Jocelyn? She’s your sister!” A male voice came from the door and said loudly to Maria.

Everyone looked towards where the voice was from and saw a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes walking in from outside. He was holding a red gift box that looked very expensive. He looked at Jocelyn with a smile.

“It’s you again, Bevis!”

Maria stomped her feet unhappily. With Bevis around, she could no longer make things difficult for Jocelyn. This Bevis was really annoying.

Bevis slowly walked towards Jocelyn and handed the gift box to her with a faint smile on his face. “Beautiful Miss Jocelyn, your royal knight is at your service. I hope you won’t be angry with me for being late and accept my gift!”

“Thank you for your kindness, but I can’t accept it. Please take it back!” Without hesitation, Jocelyn said, “This is a women’s wear studio. You are not supposed to be here. Please leave!”

Maria stood at the side and looked at her pretentious face. She wanted to rip Jocelyn’s face apart.

“Miss is right. As long as Miss needs me, I’ll always be there for you.”

Bevis nodded at Jocelyn and withdrew the gift box before looking at Maria. “Miss Maria, are you still not leaving? Do you want me to explain the situation to your father? I’m sure he won’t allow you to be so rude in front of everyone.”

His words were threatening and made Maria stare at him angrily.

Seeing Bevis, Mrs. Wilson hurriedly walked forward and pulled Maria aside. “Let’s go. Now is not the time to make things complicated. There will be opportunities in the future!”

Maria was indignant. She glared at Jocelyn fiercely before striding out. “Next time, you won’t be so lucky!”

With that, she bumped into Jocelyn’s shoulder and strode out.

Mrs. Wilson smiled politely at Bevis and quickly walked towards the door. The two of them left the studio one after another, leaving Bevis standing there looking at Jocelyn.

After the two of them were far, Bevis started to tell her the purpose of his visit. “Miss Jocelyn… Actually, I came here this time to invite Miss to attend the banquet at Young Master Aren’s house in three days. When the time comes, I’ll get the butler to pick you up and go in with me. I wonder if it’s ok for you?”

He watched every expression on Jocelyn’s face and smiled. “If you come with me this time, I might be able to introduce you to my parents.”

If it were any ordinary woman, they would already be extremely tempted at this moment. Not to mention how many people wanted to attend the banquet of the Brown family, just the fact that they were meeting Bevis’ parents showed how much Bevis liked them.

However, Jocelyn refused ruthlessly without a change in expression. “Mr. Bevis, I’m really sorry. I have something very important to do that day.. You can find someone else!”
