Chapter 76 Domineering
The service assistant left to get one of the new dresses. When she brought it out, Audrey liked it at the
first sight of it. It was a simple one-piece white dress, but it was well-designed and slim in cut, matching
Catherine to a tee.
Audrey was delighted, thinking that Catherine must look gorgeous in that dress. She was about to ask
the service assistant to take it down for Catherine to try when she heard a slightly shrill and faking
sweet voice from behind. “Mommy, this one seems nice.”
If it weren’t for the fact that the voice was harsh on the ears, Catherine would not have turned her head
to look at the speaker.
The woman who spoke was in a pink dress with the brand logo printed all over it. It seemed as if she
was afraid that other people would not know that she was wearing a mega brand.
The woman had a relatively fine face shape but was wearing heavy makeup. One could tell that she
had spent a lot on cosmetic surgery.
Catherine looked at her from head to toe before closing her eyes and getting back to her rest.
On the other side, Audrey shot a disdainful look at the woman. She was acquainted with that
woman.
The lady was the daughter of the Burton Group’s boss, called Sheryl Burton, and she was also
Audrey’s rival. The two of them had never gotten along peacefully.
Audrey cast a disgusted look at Sheryl before she turned to the service assistant and said, Please take
it down and let my sister have a try.”
The service assistant nodded and reached out to get the dress down.
”
Sheryl suddenly grabbed the dress. She looked askance at Audrey and said sourly, “Look who this is!
The unpopular social media influencer driven out by the Swanns. Why are you here? Do you have
enough credit on your credit card to use?”

and said to the service assistant drily, “You! Your shop is a posh shop. Do you not have a basic
judgment on how to choose your clients? How can you let such a D-List influencer in? They will only
take pictures or videos of the clothes! Do you think they will buy anything here? They might even steal
the designs of your brand. They are low! And your shop is becoming
one as well.”
The service assistant was embarrassed and quite out of countenance. She glanced at Audrey timidly.
She knew Audrey was a beauty blogger. Furthermore, Audrey had been to their shop a thousand times
before and would buy things every time. Therefore, the service assistant did not regard Audrey as an
unknown blogger. Besides, she watched Audrey’s videos as well.
However, the service assistant could not afford to offend Sheryl too.
Faced with Sheryl’s provocation, Audrey’s only response was to put on a cold face. She did not want to
conflict with Sheryl and turned to the service assistant. “Take the dress off and let my sister try it on. If it
suits her, we will buy it.”
Sheryl turned and dragged her mother over as she demanded, “Mommy, I want this one!”
Carol, Sheryl’s mother, turned her nose up at Audrey. She said to the service assistant, “Wrap it up for
us. I’ll buy all the new products in your shop. Pack them and send them to our house!”
The service assistant was astonished, thinking of the vast difference in how a Madam of a wealthy
family shopped.
Sheryl looked at Audrey proudly and said, “Don’t pretend to be rich and shop here. Go away!”
She said to the service assistant, “And you. Tell Miss Swann the price of this dress.”
The service assistant was a salesgirl who could not slight her clients. She quoted Audrey the price of
the dress as instructed. “Miss Swann, this dress is one of the new arrivals in our shop. The price is
about 680 thousand dollars.”
Audrey was shocked when she heard the price, which was far beyond her budget.
Sheryl saw through Audrey’s hesitation.
She snorted coldly with contempt, and her snort was so loud that the whole shop could hear it. She
said to the service assistant, “You see? She can’t afford it! Hurry up! Wrap it up for me.”
When Audrey was still considering whether to spend all her money on buying the dress, a fair and
slender arm stretched out behind her, holding out a black credit card.
The card was handed to the service assistant.
Then, a chill yet majestic voice came out from behind Audrey, “Take it. I’ll have everything in the shop.”
The service assistant was stunned. She had seen many wealthy people who bought an entire row of
goods at a time, but she had never seen one so affluent that she could buy out the entire shop. That
was incredulous!
Audrey also could not believe her ears. She looked back at Catherine.
Catherine still had that bland expression on her face. To her, saying that astounding sentence seemed
as simple as saying she wanted to buy a bottle of water.
Sheryl was dumbfounded too. When she came in, she saw Catherine on the sofa, but she did
not pay much attention to her.
Never in her wildest dreams would she think that Catherine would make such a shocking
statement.
Sheryl examined Catherine up and down and saw that Catherine was good-looking but not well -
dressed. She did not think Catherine’s clothes came from the big brands at first glance.
She heard Audrey say that Catherine was her younger sister, and Sheryl knew Liana. To be precise,
Sheryl and Liana got well with each other.
In Sheryl’s heart, Liana was the true and only daughter of the Swanns while Audrey was nothing.
Sheryl could guess who Catherine was, and she sneered. “Audrey, is this your younger sister who
came back from the countryside? I heard she is a jinx. Aren’t you afraid that she will bring bad luck to
you?
“How dare she impersonates a rich person here? Does she think she can lie to all of us with that card?
Does it even have money in it?”
Catherine’s pretty face instantly turned grim, and a hint of coldness appeared in her
eyes.

She wanted to say something when Audrey beat her to the punch.
Audrey stormed toward Sheryl in rage and pointed at Sheryl as she said, “What have you eaten today?
Why does your mouth smell? You should find a mirror and look at yourself! You look like an ugly pig!
How dare you come out to shop? Aren’t you afraid that you will scare people out there? They may have
nightmares after seeing you.
“Do you think you will become a diva after having double eyelid surgery, a chin implant, a nose job, and
a boob job? Wrong! With such an ugly face, you should hide at home!”
Audrey felt it was not good enough of a comeback after cursing Sheryl out, so she snatched the credit
card over and waved it in front of Sheryl.
“Open your damn eyes! This is a top-level Black Card! There are only ten such cards on earth, and you
thought it had no money! Are you really from a wealthy family? I think you are the bumpkin instead.”
Audrey was so mad. She could tolerate it when others looked down on her, but she would not allow
people to talk ill about her sister.
Catherine had never caused an affront to Sheryl. What right did Sheryl have to insult Catherine?
After saying so many angry words, Audrey was tired. She panted with her hands on her hips.
A smile flashed across Catherine’s eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised a little. Her gaze fell on
Audrey and the usual coldness within them was gone.
She never thought that her elder sister would be so fascinating.
Sheryl was not an opponent for Audrey and could not retaliate.
She was furious and ran to her mother for help. “Mommy!”
Carol had not planned to participate in the vindictiveness of the young people, but her daughter was
now humiliated and defenseless. If Carol did not take action, people might feel the Burtons were
weaklings.
She stood up slowly and walked to Audrey. Her next move was out of everyone’s expectations. She
raised her hand suddenly.
People’s mouths fell agape. They wondered if she would hit Audrey.
