Chapter 73
It was a rare day off for Serenity on the weekend, and Lisa wasted no time in taking her out shopping.
It had been a while since they had last gone shopping together, and Serenity felt like she was back to
those early days.
It was like back in the time before that incident had happened, and she would often take Lisa out
shopping on weekends. They were carefree and content with life, and everything seemed beautiful
then.
“By the way, what about Jack? Do you know more about him now? Like, where’s he from, or does he
have any family?”
Lisa was most worried about her best friend falling for a scammer.
“I only know that his father passed away, and it seems like his mother abandoned them. He didn’t talk
about anything else, and I didn’t ask,” Serenity replied with a smile.
You’re so silly. Why didn’t you ask more? At least find out what he used to do!” Lisa said with a groan.

Serenity smiled calmly. “What’s the use in knowing what he used to do? In the past, I knew every detail
about Zeke–his family background, which school he attended from his childhood, and even his license
plate and ID number. I remembered everything clearly, but ultimately, I still couldn’t see through him.
Lisa bit her lip. “I’m sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing?” Serenity chuckled. ‘It’s fine. I know you’re only worried about me, but right
now, I really don’t care about any of those things. Besides, if he didn’t want to tell me the truth and
made up stories to deceive me, it’s not like I would know, anyway. So, what’s the point of asking?”
“Well, forget about that. Come on, let’s get some clothes. I need a set of professional attire to wear. My
boss at the design firm insists that I wear formal attire when meeting clients,” Lisa complained while
pulling Serenity to the nearby high–end boutique.
Based on Lisa’s reasoning, they were only leaking, and that wouldn’t cost any money. They would just
browse around to see what were the available and popular styles now and then buy something
affordable after.
As Serenity stood inside the store, she could feel the intense gaze of the salesgirl. Her cheap outfit
clashed with the atmosphere of this store.
“Oh? Who do we have here? How could someone like you be in this store? You’re practically lowering
the standard of this place just by being here, you know?” A voice rang out in the store.
Serenity looked up to see two familiar figures.
One of them was Jenny, and the other was none other than Zeke’s sister, Joy.
They were both dressed in expensive luxury brand clothing and were carrying designer handbags,
looking at Serenity with disdainful eyes.
Especially Joy. When she recalled her older brother’s warning the other day, she felt even more upset
with Serenity.
As soon as the salespeople in the store caught sight of Joy and Jenny, they immediately rushed up to
greet them warmly.
“Hello, Miss Shaw, Miss Hall We’ve recently received a new collection of the latest fashion in our store.
Would you like to take a look and see if anything suits your taste? Some of them are even runway
pieces that received acclaim at the Milan Fashion
Show.”

some on tuo, Serenity? But I guess with your current salary, you won’t be able to afford anything here
even if you save for a year. You’re just a sanitation worker. Don’t you feel embarrassed wallding into a
stone Tile Thals?”
The other employees of the store looked at Serenity in surprise and even a hint of contempt when they
heard those words.
“What’s wrong with being a sanitation worker?” Lisa said indignantly. She had been browsing through
clothes on the other side of the store and rushed over upon hearing the commotion. “Is there any law
prohibiting sanitation workers from
entering this store and looking at clothes?”
“The question is, can you afford it?” Joy disdainfully said. “You’re just a street sweeper, so coming into
a store to look at clothes you clearly can’t afford is obviously because you want some trouble.”
As she said that, Joy looked at the nearby store employees and said, “Shouldn’t you deal with people
like them who intentionally come in to cause trouble, hummm?”
Joy was a regular customer here, and the employees naturally would flatter the lady from the Shaw
family. So, one of the supervisors immediately walked up to Serenity and Lisa and said, “If you’re not
buying any clothes, please leave for now.”
