Chapter 14 A Rose Brooch
Arriving at the mall, Rosalind planned to take a tour first.
It was one of the busiest places in Aethelburg. The various shops made sure you could get whatever you wanted
When Rosalind walked past a jewelry shop, the saleswoman wouldn’t stop talking and dragged Rosalind inside.|||
“Miss, look at these gold earrings. They’re new arrivals. The emeralds on them made them more extravagant, yet they still kept a low profile. They fit you so well.“]
The saleswoman tried to put the earrings on Rosalind
Rosalind raised her hand and stopped the saleswoman
“I’m just looking around. No need to follow me.”
The saleswoman looked Rosalind up and down with a snobbish gaze.||
She thought, “This woman looks like a rich person. Turns out she’s a fake.||
“Damn my luck!“]]
As Rosalind wasn’t buying anything, the saleswoman decided not to waste time on her and went to serve other guests
Rosalind walked around the shop and noticed a pair of gold ear clips.]
The jewelry shop was vast with three layers ||
The doser the item was to the core, the more expensive it was
Rosalind was in the outermost layer. The jewelry here was affordable even for office workers.
In the middle layer, Evangeline had already picked out three sets of jewelry. She pursed her lips in displeasure. It takes forever for your shop to have new items I’m tired of waiting”
The saleswoman looked at the jewelry Evangeline chose and beamed when she thought about the cut she was getting
“M, Shaw, don’t worry. As soon as there are photos of new arrivals, I’ll send them to you. You can pick them before everyone else.
Evangeline said OK and got up to leave
When she reached the door of the middle layer, her expression darkened over the sight of a familiar figure
Rosalind. Peregrine’s new wife and the woman who embarrassed the whole Shaw family:||
She was Evangeline sister–in–law.
But Evangeline refused to admit it as she believed Peregrine should marry Thalis, not this bumpkin ||
As soon as Evangeline say Rolalind, she remembered how Rusland humiliated Constance and Vatsilet
Tomang, Evangeline gritted her teeth and pulled the saleswoman over. “Do que a favor.-||
As Rosalind broward the jewelry, the saleswoman come over with a tray |
Inside the tray was a gold ruse brooch |
“Miss, this brooch matches your clodies. Would you like to try to

spare a glance at things she didn’t like ||
The brooch was delicately designed and indeed matched her outfit.
Rosalind picked up the brooch and turned it over.
“Looks nice. How much is 112
The saleswons answered. “17 thousand dollars, Credit card or
Rosalind wanted to say credit card. But she didn’t bring it as she didn’t expect to buy anything expensive when she left the house ||
“sead it to the Shaw’s house. Someone will pay you then.“]
Large shops like this usually provide free delivery service.]]
And they’d bring the items to the customer’s house if he or she was a regular customer.|||
The saleswoman looked confileted.]
Excuse me,

וד
Naturally, the saleswoman heard about Peregrine, who had been a vegetable for years
However
The situation was tricky. T’m sorry, Miss. I can’t do that.-
Rosalind frowned.]]

Rosalind wasn’t that interested in the brooch. Upon that, she put it back in the tray
“Never mind. I’m not buying it.”
he glanced at her watch and decided it was time to check out her own shop.
Wat
The sale woman grabbed Rosaline’s wrist. “You cant gol
Rosalinds face darkened. “What do you want
The saleswoman said angrily. You broke the brooch. You must buy it.
She picked up the brooch.||
Rosalind looked closes and saw one of the petals was crooked. In the distance, it didn’t matter. But it damaged the brooch’s aesthetic feeling if one looked in a duse range
The mall was log and was crowded wills prople. The quarrel quickly attracted many people’s attention.]
Rosalind was certain she never uke the brunch. It was fine when she reigned it
So,

The craved grew log||
One person said. “I know who she is emember Mr. Perrine’s fiancéer||
“No. This is Rosalind! She pushed Thalia out of a car to steal Thall’s marriage contract. Thalia nearly gut crippled ||
Rosalind looked in the direction of the talk]
There were two women speaking loudly on purpose.[]
Her gaze was as sharp as a knife when she glared at them]
The two women immediately clammed up as if their tongues had been cut
The crowd
I was too big and James Burton, the manager, ran out of his office
After hearing what happened, he looked at Rosalind politely.
“Mrs. Shaw. This brooch is cheap for a Shaw. Since you damaged it. I have to ask you to purchase it. Please don’t make it hard for us.“]
The saleswoman rolled her eyes. “Mr. Burton, maybe she can’t afford 11-
James sold the saleswoman off harshly.]
When he turned to talk to Rosalind again, his tone was gentle
as
“Mrs. Show, it’s fine if you don’t have the money. Leave something here as collateral, just send someone to pay for the brooch and collect it later.
At that moment, the door of the middle layer opened. Evangeline stood there and snorted
“Rosalind, I thought you could do anything. But you can’t even afford a brooch? Looks like Peregrine doesn’t like you that much. However, you’re my sister–in–law. I can lead you the money if you beg nicely-
Rosalind understood what happened right away.
She knew she was being framed, but she didn’t know why
Evangeline’s s presence explained everything
Rosalind scoffed and looked at the manager.
I really break the brooch, I’m fine with paying for it. However, before that, let the saleswoman tell everyone what happened again.]]

ames agreed with Rosalind and looked at the saleswoman-||
The salerwoman had made up a story in her bead before, so she described the event in detail and fast.
Rosalind waited till the saleswoman finished to ask her the question.]
“According to you, I bent the brooch with my right hand, correct?
Yes
“My left hand never touched it, correct?
The saleswoman answered confidently. “Year“]
