Chapter: 1029
Sergio was significantly wealthier than Marnie.
Fortunately, Claire wasn’t overly fixated on social status. She recognized that Sergio was
dedicated to his studies and might have difficulty finding love, so she accepted Marnie.
Claire thought Marnie must have something that Sergio liked. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have
chosen her to be his girlfriend.
Two days ago, curious about her son’s girlfriend, Claire invited a few affluent female
friends to join her for a shopping outing. Together, they visited the clothing boutique
where Marnie was employed.
There were other customers already in the shop.
Two high school girls dressed in plain clothes were trying on outfits. Marnie appeared

dressed friends entered, Marnie’s expression suddenly brightened with enthusiasm.
Marnie left the girls and hurried over to greet Claire’s group with a warm smile, eagerly
showcasing the clothing to them.
Claire couldn’t hide her dissatisfaction with Marnie’s disregard for the two girls.
Unaware of Claire’s reaction, Marnie focused on pleasing Claire and Claire’s companions
as best she could.
When Claire wandered through the store with her back turned, she heard a dispute arise
between Marnie and the two girls.
The girls wanted to try on another size and sought out Marnie, who had been assisting
them. However, the situation escalated into an argument.
Marnie became impatient with them and rudely remarked, “If you can’t afford them, don’t
bother trying them on!”
One of the girls was sensitive. Her face flushed instantly. The other was furious and
declared her intent to file a complaint against Marnie.
After the altercation, Marnie’s demeanor turned arrogant, and she challenged those girls,
saying, “Go ahead, file a grievance against me! Do you know who my boyfriend is? I don’t
give a toss about your complaint!”
Claire’s expression darkened.
At that moment, she felt a profound sense of embarrassment.
As Claire listened to Marnie’s words, panic began to set in. Claire worried that her wealthy
friends might discover Marnie was talking about Sergio. Claire quickly intervened, diffusing
the situation and helping the girls out.
Marnie projected a sense of self-importance through her connections but seemed subdued

The incident had been resolved peacefully in the end. However, Claire was far from
impressed with Marnie’s attitude. Claire’s first impression of Marnie was not a good one.
Meanwhile, Sergio hadn’t returned for two days due to his recent work commitments.
Claire hadn’t found the opportunity to discuss the incident with him.
Feeling terrible, Claire hesitated to burden Wanda with this issue. She wasn’t close with
Kira and didn’t want to involve her affluent friends. So she confided in Sabrina and Lena.
Sabrina didn’t want to comment too much on what she thought about the incident.
Instead, she offered Claire some comforting words. “Try not to worry. They haven’t been
together for Long. They might break up.”
Claire nodded, agreeing. “You’re right. I was too impatient.” Later, Claire left, and Jennie
went to the yard to play. Sabrina and
Lena remained at the table, engaged in conversation.
