Chapter 118
Bonnie’s brows twitched. Of course, she knew about Bohemian Boutique as it was one of the boutiques Tang Fusion Studio owned. Hamish had named it after Bonnie using the first two letters of her name, which she found cheesy. Still, she could not care less about it,
Avril noticed Bonnie’s silence and thought she knew nothing about the boutique. “This boutique belongs to Tang Fusion Studio. The famous fashion designer, Hamish, is the general manager and the chief designer there.
“It has franchises worldwide. Everyone knows it’s the top brand in the fashion industry. The outfits here are costly, too.” Avril scratched her neck embarrassingly and blushed a little. “Um, I know I said you can buy anything you want.
“You can buy as many as you like from other brands, but I can only afford an outfit or two if they’re from Bohemian Boutique.”
Bonnie chuckled in response, thinking Avril was refreshingly honest. The former said, “Come on, let’s go
in. Let me know if you like anything. I’ll buy it even if you like every outfit here. After all, it’s your birthday today.”
Since Bonnie owned this company, she did not have to pay for anything. On the other hand, Avril considered her words a joke. Even so, she appreciated the gesture very much.
When they entered, Bonnie picked a blue and purple dress, saying, “Do you want to try this one?”
“Woah! Good eyes, Bonnie! This dress looks excellent. Hey, wait a minute. Why are we picking outfits for me? We’ve got this backward. We’re here for you to buy an outfit.”
“Go ahead and try it on.” Bonnie had no intention of explaining things to Avril. Instead, she took the dress straight to Avril.
Suddenly, someone yanked at the dress, saying, “What a nice dress. It’s mine now.”
Bonnie frowned and turned to look at the lady. The former recognized the young lady as a member of the Dyngard family, one of the high society families. However, Bonnie could not remember the young lady’s name.
Avril glared at the young lady and said, “You’ve crossed the line, Brittany. We took that dress first.”
Brittany raised her chin and retorted, “Did you pay for it?”
“Did you?!” Avril yanked at the dress, too. From her perspective, Bonnie seemed fragile. Avril feared Brittany might have yanked at the dress too hard and caused Bonnie to stumble.
“I’m about to pay for it.” Brittany fished a credit card out of her purse.
“That’s ridiculous. I’m going to pay, too.”
“Are you doing this on purpose, Avril? There are so many dresses here, yet you insist on fighting with

me over this one.

“For crying out loud! I’ve seen a fair share of unreasonable people, but you take the cake, Brittany. We were here first and took the dress before you did. Are you seriously twisting the story and accusing us of fighting with you over it?” Avril said, exasperated.
The store manager came over with a smile. “There’s a similar dress over there, missies. Perhaps –”
“I want this one!”
“Me too!”
Anyone familiar with the brand knew that every dress had one size for each design. Avril and Brittany were still fighting over the dress when Bonnie yanked it away from both of their clutches.
“What do you think you’re doing?!” Brittany roared at her.
“This dress is mine. You don’t have the right to take it from me.” Bonnie retorted indifferently.
“Heh, how absurd. Your family disowned you, you bumpkin. What makes you think you can fight me?” Brittany turned to the store manager and the sales assistants, saying, “Keep your eyes on her. She can’t afford to shop in high–end boutiques such as yours.
“She’s probably here to steal your outfits. You guys should know better than anyone how expensive your outfits are. If any one of these dresses goes missing, it’ll take about a year of your pay to make up for it.”
After hearing Brittany’s words, the store manager and sales assistants grew somewhat worried. Meanwhile, Avril grew furious as she said, “What do you mean she can’t afford to shop here? Stop looking down on her, Brittany.
“Although Bonnie’s family disowned her, she’s the Best Scholar in Pyralis. There’s no telling how successful she’ll become in the future. The way I see it, she’ll make a name for herself in the next few
years!”
