Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 215

Chapter 215:

Madisyn lay on the bed, eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, her cheeks still flushed. She snuck a peek at Andrew. His tall frame seemed too large for the sofa, and his legs were awkwardly tucked. It was a sight that could evoke sympathy from anyone.

Madisyn pressed her lips together and slowly shut her eyes. The room was quiet, and soon, she drifted into a nap.

In the afternoon, Andrew and Madisyn resumed their shopping. They found themselves in front of a high-end brand store that Madisyn was somewhat familiar with. As she entered, a sales assistant approached her. “Hello, what type of bag are you looking for?”

Before Madisyn could answer, their eyes locked, and both paused, taken aback. Madisyn was surprised to see Teresa working as a sales assistant in a luxury store after being fired.

“What a coincidence,” Madisyn said coolly.

Teresa’s hands tightened into fists, her expression clearly uneasy. She had never thought she’d replace herself assisting Madisyn in shopping. Teresa’s demeanor quickly became frosty. “Feel free to look around. Let me know if you’re ready to check out.” With that, she started to walk away.

“If you don’t want to help me, then please replace someone who will,” Madisyn said.

Teresa stopped mid-turn. “Wouldn’t I want to? Let me show you our collection.”

Teresa began to guide her around the store, explaining the details of the products. As Teresa absorbed the distinguished air Madisyn projected and noticed the tall, graceful man by her side, she felt a twinge of envy. Why was there such a big gap between people? She had worked hard to secure this job, only to replace herself serving Madisyn.

When Madisyn paused in front of a display, Teresa glanced at it and said, “This is our store’s signature piece. It’s quite popular among our customers. It’s on the expensive side, but that shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”

Madisyn examined the blue-and-white bag. It was certainly eye-catching. She touched the bag and inquired, “How much is this?”

“1.2 million dollars,” Teresa answered.

Madisyn took the bag off the shelf and tried it on. However, it didn’t feel as nice as she had expected, so she placed it back on the shelf. After browsing a bit more and replaceing nothing to her liking, Madisyn decided to leave the store.

Just as they were about to leave, Teresa called out, “Wait!” Madisyn turned to see Teresa approaching with the blue-and-white bag. “Madisyn, you can’t just leave after scratching our bag!”

Madisyn frowned. “When did I scratch your bag?”

“Look for yourself!” Teresa showed the bag, which indeed had a small scratch.

Madisyn was amused. “I didn’t scratch it. Even if I did, the fact that it got scratched just from me trying it on suggests that your bag’s quality is lacking, doesn’t it?”

Teresa replied, “Our products are high-end and need to be handled with care. I don’t know how you did it, but we check each item after every customer. It was fine before you used it.”

Seeing the resolve in Teresa’s expression, Madisyn scoffed, “So, you insist on putting the blame on me?”

Teresa stood firm and replied, “You caused the damage, so you need to pay for it. I definitely can’t cover the cost of a million-dollar bag!”

Their argument began to attract the attention of other customers. Teresa’s explanation made the situation clear to everyone around.

“I’ve seen that bag. It’s worth over a million. I couldn’t buy it myself.”

“If you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t have tried it on. Are you that vain?”

“If you ruin it and refuse to pay, do you expect the salesperson to handle the loss? She’d need a lifetime to pay that off!”

Most onlookers took Teresa’s side. Teresa instantly played pitiful. “Yes, I can’t afford to pay for it. Since you damaged it, you should cover the cost. Do you want to ruin me?”

“Teresa, are you playing games with me?” Madisyn narrowed her eyes.

Teresa suddenly felt uneasy under her intense stare. But she had been so discreet while damaging the bag that she believed no one had noticed. She simply couldn’t tolerate Madisyn’s haughty demeanor.

She figured that even for the wealthy Johns family, over a million wasn’t a trivial amount. If the Johns family found out Madisyn was wasting money like this, they would be angry. Her goal was to trouble Madisyn.

“What are you implying? Are you accusing me of setting you up?” Teresa said angrily.

“Everyone saw it. The scratch wasn’t there before you tried on the bag. Just pay for it. We have a store to run!”

“Exactly, you might not be short of money, but the sales assistant isn’t wealthy.” People usually root for the weak.

The crowd sided with Teresa, while Madisyn looked at her coldly.

Teresa felt a surge of triumph. This time, Madisyn would be forced to back down. Madisyn replied, “Alright, then show me proof that I caused the scratch.”

“Proof? You trying on the bag is proof enough,” Teresa asserted, her logic somewhat shaky. Yet, she still had the crowd’s backing.

“Alright, time to reveal the truth.” Madisyn stepped up and began patting down Teresa.

“What are you doing?” Teresa exclaimed, taken aback.

Madisyn remained silent, continuing her search.
