Game Over No Second Chances

The sales associate gave a helpless smile.

"Nebula Design only has this one flagship store. Both the jewelry and timepiece collections are limited editions. For custom orders, a long-term membership or VIP card is required."

The gold card in Sarah's hand didn't grant high-tier access, but it was still an official VIP card.

Sarah sneered. "Don't try to act like you're something you're not. Even Cole doesn't have the access. Do you really think Hugh would give it to you?"

The socialites nearby were all from prominent families. They immediately recognized the two sisters and couldn't help whispering among themselves.

"Ms. Sarah is engaged to Cole, and they're clearly still in their honeymoon phase. If even she can't get one, there is no way Ms. Serena can."

"Who knows? Mr. Hugh just rented a cruise ship to a private island for her the other day."

"So what? Nebula Design's flagship collections aren't something you can just walk in and buy."

"It could be possible if Mr. Hugh showed up in person. But now, Ms. Serena doesn't have anyone to back her up."

The crowd buzzed with chatter, and even a few scoffs could be heard.

Most of them clearly didn't think Serena stood a chance.

After all, the yacht trip could have easily been a publicity move for the Larson family.

Nebula Design's flagship collections had played a key role in expanding the brand overseas. They weren't just available to everyone. Did Serena really think she could just walk in and buy one?

Feeling the momentum shift in her favor, Sarah looked all the more smug.

"Why don't you pick up something else instead, Serena? I've got Cole's gold card.

I could lend it to you if you'd like."

The mocking words around them grew louder.

It was already bad enough they were marrying into the same family, which

resulted in their complicated relationship. Now, Serena even had to borrow the card from her sister. It was way too embarrassing.

As the whispers spread, the sales

vel

associate finally spoke up. She could see Serena was a

good natured customer and didn't

want her to be bullied.

"Of course Mr. Hugh's wife is one of our VIP clients. If there's anything you'd like

to browse or try on, why not join us in the VIP lounge?"

Getting Serena away from this gossip circle would spare her further embarrassment.

This associate knew how to handle things with just the right amount of grace and authority.

Serena smiled faintly and calmly pulled a black card from her handbag, handing it

over.

"I'm not familiar with Nebula Design's internal tiers, but I do happen to have a VIP card."

Sarah glanced at it and instantly burst out laughing.

"Oh please. Since when did Nebula Design issue a black card? Don't make a fool of yourself, Serena."

"Who knew Ms. Serena had such a sense of humor? All of Nebula Design's VIP cards, both domestic and international, are gold-tier."

"We were feeling sorry for her before. But now, it's time to laugh at her."

The giggles around them grew louder, but Serena remained calm.

She trusted Hugh wouldn't give her anything fake.

Sure enough, the sales associate ran her finger over the black card, her expression shifting several times.

After a moment, she suddenly looked up and said, "Besides the men's watch in

dark green and gold, is there anything else you'd like, Mrs. Larson?

"The spring-pink diamond necklace from the jewelry collection and the women's sky-blue watch from the timepiece collection would both suit you beautifully."

As she spoke, she subtly gestured to a colleague to fetch the manager.

The manager rushed over and caught sight of the card. In front of the stunned

crowd, he stepped forward and addressed Serena respectfully.

"There's no reason Mrs. Larson

should be kept waiting out here. Escort her to the VIP lounge at once. And bring out all the new releases from the past two years. Prepare the custom straps and necklaces as well!" noveldrama
