Chapter 53: Chapter 56: A Shadow of Its Former Self

Lily Gray’s first reaction wasn’t to think that the other person was talking to her.

It wasn’t until she saw the disdain in the salesperson’s eyes that she confirmed, yes, the other party was indeed talking about her.

So, was she being “discriminated against” now?

Lily Gray suddenly found it amusing and asked the salesperson, “Are you new here? 1 remember your store used to have great service, how is it that you’re just hiring anyone now?”

Even if Lily Gray were in a worse situation, it wasn’t up to a salesperson to belittle her. Moreover, she was still Mrs. Lucas in name, and she couldn’t disgrace her husband’s name in public, even if not for the Gray family.

“Huh, Miss Gray, 1 advise you not to pretend to be a regular here. They used to treat you well because you were the young Miss of the Gray family. But now? Ha, do you really think people don’t know whether you can afford things in our store?”

The salesperson, instead of feeling wrong about her service, felt even more contempt for Lily Gray.

In her eyes, Lily Gray had become a shadow of her former self, but she couldn’t change her spoiled young-lady attitude, so she would still try to act arrogant in a luxury store even if she couldn’t afford it.

Little did she know that everyone in A City had already heard about her situation.

Lily Gray was upset by the salesperson’s attitude, but her status didn’t allow her to publicly quarrel with the salesperson.

Even if it might be momentarily satisfying, it would be too demeaning.

So, she ignored the obviously inexperienced young salesperson and turned to a familiar-looking supervisor to complain.

It’s normal for a customer to complain about being mistreated in a store, and the usual process is to complain to the employee’s superior.

But when Lily Gray told the supervisor her reason for coming, he gave her a dismissive look.

“Miss Gray, I’m not trying to be rude, but please, look at the time. If you were still the young Miss of the Gray family, our company would have no problem in firing that salesperson to save your face. But now, look at yourself…”

As he said this, the supervisor gave her a disdainful once-over.

“You only have an H-brand scarf on you that’s worth any money, our store’s cheapest item is about the same price as that scarf. Just stop making a fuss, or you’ll end up embarrassing yourself later.”

As Lily Gray was standing outside the counter talking to the supervisor, he only saw her upper body but was able to quickly estimate the value of her attire.

Lily Gray wasn’t really angry at first and merely considered the incident as a minor interruption while shopping. But being verbally insulted by this store’s employees, if she didn’t get angry now, she’d be a saint.

She squinted her peach blossom eyes and looked at the nameplate on the supervisor’s chest. “Your name is Mr. Collins?”

Hearing her saying this, the supervisor immediately pulled a long face. “Yes, I’m Mr. Collins. That salesperson over there’s last name is Zhao. If you want to complain, go ahead. Ha! A phoenix in decline is no better than a chicken. 1 suggest you don’t take yourself too seriously!”

At his words, Lily Gray withdrew her gaze and took out her cell phone from her bag.

Naturally, she wouldn’t make the call in front of everyone. She held the phone and walked to the side.

As soon as she left, all the salespeople gathered behind the counter, taking turns bolstering Mr. Collins’ confidence.

“Sylvia, don’t worry. She has long been cut off by the Gray family. Even if she goes to the superior to complain, no one will care.”

“Exactly, you’re too kind, Sylvia. If we’d known she was so troublesome, we should have just thrown her out as soon as she came in.”

“Well, we can’t say that, she’s still Miss Walters’ friend after all.”

“Ha, what kind of friend! They’re not in the same league anymore. She’s not even worthy of carrying Miss Walters’ shoes.”

As they were gossiping about Lily Gray, an experienced salesperson suddenly exclaimed, “Her bag…. that bag, isn’t it the ‘Diamond Forever’ from C Family!?”
