" Kill me ? Let's see if you can actually pull it off , Monica sneered . Not wanting to argue anymore , she turned and handed the teapot to the salesperson . " Can you pack this up for me , please ? " " Sure , just a moment , the salesperson said , taking the teapot to the counter . Diana was fuming . She'd been spoiled her whole life , treated like a princess by her family . No one had ever dared to hit or scold her like this . Who did Monica think she was ? Seeing all the customers staring , Diana got up from the floor and pointed at Monica , shouting . " I don't believe a broke loser like you can afford this ! Do you even know where you are ? Everything here costs at least a million ! " She turned to the crowd and said , " I bet you all don't know who this woman is . This is Monica , once the daughter of the Brown family in Emerald City . She's so ruthless that she pushed my sister down the stairs just to marry Alexander , the president of the Smith Group . My poor sister was supposed to marry Mr. Smith that day but had to go abroad for treatment instead . Even Monica's own parents disowned her , and her husband divorced her . Now she's here to ruin my sister and my future brother - in - law's relationship . Isn't she despicable ? " All eyes in the store turned to Monica , and people started whispering . Seeing she had the upper hand , Diana continued , " A woman like her doesn't belong in a high - end place like this . We should kick her out right now . " " Yeah , get out ! " someone shouted . " I can't stand homewreckers , " a wealthy lady said to the salesperson . " If you don't kick her out , I won't shop here again . " The salesperson was in a tough spot . They couldn't just kick out customers , but most of the people here were VIPs and hard to deal with . The salesperson hesitated , then walked up to Monica and said awkwardly , " Ms. Brown , I think ... " " What ? " Before Monica could respond , Evelyn stepped in , pulling Monica behind her . " Are you going to kick us out ? Fine , call Charles , and I'll speak to him . " Charles Green was the owner of the antique store . The salesperson was shocked . " Miss , do you know our boss ? " Evelyn snorted , not bothering to answer . The wealthy lady next to her wasn't backing down . " So what if you know Mr. Green ? I know him too . I've 1/3 Chapter 50 been a customer for years . Go ahead , call him and see who he wants out ! " Evelyn was about to snap back when Monica pulled her hand and turned to Diana , catching the smug look on her face . Monica sneered , " Diana , ten years ago you were Stella's sidekick , and ten years later , you're still her sidekick . " Monica continued , " You say I stole Stella's man ? As the legit daughter of the Brown family , the marriage between the Smith family and the Brown family was arranged by Mr. Preston Smith and my grandpa . I was just fulfilling my own marriage , so what does that have to do with Stella ? Besides , do you really think the president of the Smith Group could be forced into a marriage ? " The crowd started whispering . Everyone knew Alexander wasn't the type to be pushed around . Diana and Stella's faces turned pale . They didn't expect Monica to be so sharp - tongued all of a sudden . They were about to speak , but Monica didn't give them a chance . " And by the way , I divorced Alexander six years ago . If Alexander and Stella were truly in love , why hasn't he married her in all this time ? " Stella's face turned beet red . Seeing the skeptical and disdainful looks from the crowd , she trembled but tried to explain with teary eyes , " Monica , you misunderstood . I told Alexander there was no rush to get married . I always wanted to ... " Monica snorted , not even looking at her . " And about me pushing her down the stairs , how dumb would I have to be to do that at my own wedding ? She's the one who set up that whole scene , pretending to fall down the stairs to frame me . But she didn't expect to end up disabled for life . That's karma . Do you have the right to slander me here ? " Monica's sharp gaze landed on Diana , emphasizing her words . Diana was immediately cowed by her aura and couldn't speak . Monica took the teapot from the salesperson and held it in front of Diana and Stella , " You say I can't afford it , well , I'll let you have it ! " Diana and Stella looked at each other , neither of them daring to take it . Monica sneered , " What , can't afford it ? If so ... " " We can ! " Diana couldn't stand the strange looks from others and snatched the teapot from Monica's hand . But she knew she really couldn't afford it . Everything in this store was worth at least a million , and she only had tens of thousands of dollars in 2/3 3:45 pm PPP Chapter 50 pocket money each month , maxing out her credit cards every month . She had no money to buy it . So she held the teapot and said to Stella , " Stella , aren't you going to visit Mr. Preston Smith ? I'm sure he'll love this tea set . You should buy it for him . " " ... " Stella hesitated . Ten years ago , she could have afforded it , but after Hayden found out she wasn't a blood relative and brought Monica back , he took back her shares . Plus , she had two older brothers , and most of the Brown family's power was in their hands . In short , Stella was favored , but it was an empty favor with no real money or power . Monica watched her , clearly aware of her predicament . Evelyn sneered , " What , the general manager of the Brown Group can't even afford this little thing ?
