Chapter 1143
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
What?
Nayaâs expression shifted like Christmas lights, turning red and green.
She stared at Madeline in disbelief and finally understood why Madeline was so certain.
In the meantime, gazes of shock and admiration began to fall on Madeline.
âSo this was Miss L.adyâs top designer. Sheâs so pretty, no wonder her designs are so well-liked.â
âIâve bought quite a few of her brandâs accessories too. They have quite unique designs.â
âI bought a lot from them too, until they changed the designer. Then I stopped.â
Ava was proud of her friend when she heard the comments.
On the other hand, Madeline began to feel shy. âLie low, Ava.â
Ava shrugged and stared at Naya in exasperation. âItâs not my fault she started it.â
ââ¦â Nayaâs lips twitched. She opened her mouth to protest as she felt that her image was beginning to shatter.
âSo what if you were Miss L.adyâs top designer? That doesnât give you the right to defame me! My fatherâs a well-known businessman in Glendale. We arenât even short on money, so why would I need to buy a fake? Youâre just slandering me to help Ava!â
She wore a pitiful expression to pull the crowd on her side.
âVera Quinn, right? Since youâre the one who designed it, then take a look at the serial number on my bracelet! Why would I need to wear fakes when Iâm the daughter of a businessman?â
Madeline remained calm. âI donât know whether you need to or not, nor do I want to know. I just want to say that the fact that thereâs a serial number further proves that the bracelet is a fake. These so-called serial numbers are a system structured by those who sell fakes. The real bracelet doesnât have a serial number at all. I can pull out the information for you if you donât believe me.â
âWhatâ¦â Nayaâs expression fell at her explanation.
She clenched her jaw, unable to refute.
Ava did not speak either, merely smiling at Naya instead.
Huffing, Naya turned to leave as she realized the situation was not looking good for her.
However, her turn was too dramatic and she knocked into the clerk approaching from the opposite direction. Everything the clerk held fell onto the floor, causing one of the earringsâ diamonds to fall out.
There was a scratch mark on the sapphire necklace as well.
The clerkâs expression fell. âOh no!â
Naya was looking for an outlet for her anger and raged at the clerk. âWhatâs there to âoh noâ? Itâs just a set of accessories. Iâll just pay you back!â
âBut⦠â The clerk looked at Ava. âThis midsummer limited edition set from Legendary Mystery belongs to this lady.â
Naya turned to the direction the clerk was pointing in to find a smiling Ava.
Naya did not believe her. âAre you kidding me? Her? How can she afford to buy this set of accessories when she canât even afford a piece of crystal from that earring with her entire monthly pay?â
Ava had initially come to refund the accessory but had a better idea now.
âStop wasting your saliva, Miss Mendez. Your carelessness has caused serious damage to my properties. You have two choices now. Either open a check and pay me back now, or you can wait for a letter from my lawyer.â
âYouâ¦â Naya was infuriated.
âArenât you the daughter of a businessman? Iâm sure you bring your checkbook with you wherever you go, right? Then get to it already. Letâs not waste anyone elseâs time.â
ââ¦â
Naya clenched her fists, her beautiful face twisting in anger.
