As soon as they came in, they chased the customers out and drove off the staff into the office at the back.
As a result, the lobby became Sandra’s territory.
Raising her chin, she was arrogant beyond comparison as she commanded, “Come here, Scarlet. I want to introduce you to a guest of honor.”
Sandra was so respectful of that foreign woman that she did not even dare to look straight at her.
At a loss for words, Sophia thought she had heard wrongly. “What the hell?”
As soon as she said that, Sandra immediately shot up and her appearance became commanding, much like a Tibetan Mastiff. “How dare you? You better watch your mouth, Sophia Edwards! How dare you disrespect Miss Lucile?”
At that moment, Sophia was startled by Sandra’s sudden shout. She flinched and looked at ‘Lucile’ incredulously with wide eyes.
The woman looked to be in her twenties and about the same age as her. She had a pair of blue eyes that looked as elegant and bright as gemstones, shiny blonde hair and defined facial features. She was indeed graceful as she sat there silently. Even just slightly looking up, she was giving out a powerful aura.
The moments her eyes were focused on someone, they would immediately feel the pressure of someone superior. It made breathing difficult and they would instantly be respectful.
This is… Princess Lucile… of the Michel Family?
After a long moment of eyeing her up and down, Sophia suddenly smiled.
Sandra really had the guts to have someone impersonate Lucile.
No—it wasn’t necessarily her.
Sophia’s sharp eyes looked at the boastful Sandra and then at Abbie before she seemed to understand something.
A burst of laughter was creeping up but Sophia held it back and said in a serious and respectful manner, “You must have come a long way; please make yourself at home.”
In fact, Sophia rarely visited the store. The day she came was when Sandra coincidentally dropped by too, so this must have been planned in advance. She was interested to see what they had planned.
Were they going to provoke her alpaca to spit on them again and then get rid of her using the Michel Family’s name?
This time, Sophia was not going to sit back; she wanted to know what these little crooks were up to.
It seemed like they were taking advantage of her concealed identity. When she was in Africa, she often tagged along with Cooper to see the Michel Family’s properties but because her face was ruined at that time, she was either covered with gauze or she was wearing a mask. To this day, there weren’t many people who knew what she looked like.
When the trio entered the shop, they just sat there and chatted with a dozen bodyguards standing behind them. Looking at the bodyguards’ clothes, Sophia saw that half of them carried the Mitchell’s Family crest, while others carried the Michel’s Family crest.
Taking a look at ‘Lucile Michel’ sitting in the middle, Sophia wondered if she was really someone from the Michel Family.
In fact, with her aura, she looked more like Lucile than the real Lucile.
Since the store was focused on pets, it was inevitable that there would be a few pets roaming around. Just then, an Alaskan Malamute wandered before Sophia before she casually instructed someone to lead the dog away. She gazed at Sandra and the others and spoke respectfully. “Is there anything specific you’re looking for? We offer a series of luxury goods for pets.”
However, the trio ignored her and spoke among themselves. They casually chatted in French, thinking Sophia would not understand and made up stories about her right in front of her.
“This b*tch is the daughter of an outsider. They’re shamelessly committing fraud using the Mitchell Family’s name and they are extremely disrespectful to the Michel Family too,” Sandra commented. “It’s outrageous; don’t be fooled by her appearance. She looks respectful but she will curse you as soon as you turn around!”
At that moment, Sophia looked nonchalant, as if she hadn’t heard them bad-mouthing her.
