"Oh, old lady, you look like a kid in a candy store. Is this your first time seeing a luxury hotel? Seeing you makes me want to vomit," the woman mocked.Paula, who had started to calm down, felt very upset. She wanted to punch the glamorous woman in the head, but Alison quickly restrained her mother. She didn't want security to come and kick them out. It would be very embarrassing if that happened.Alison approached her mother and spoke softly yet firmly, "Mom, please take care of yourself. We are not here to make a scene. I beg you not to make a scene. Try to show a little respect."Paula, still feeling upset, nodded slowly and tried calming herself down. She was confused about why Alison didn't stand up for her. Even though her mother was being insulted. This disappointed Paula a little. Alison looked at her mother, hoping there would be no fuss. She did this only because she feared Carson would be embarrassed by the commotion. The woman still seemed to dislike Paula. She felt she

Paula scratched her head, trying to hide the nervousness behind an awkward smile. "I can pay for it," she said confidently, though her voice trembled slightly. "Only five million dollars. That's very small. We can rent several rooms simultaneously if it's only 5 million dollars. It's a minimal amount for us. There's nothing to think about."Paula tried to lie. She had no idea that one room cost 5 million dollars. Even then, it was only a standard room, not a luxurious room. The lowest class there. Paula couldn't imagine how much the most elegant room there would cost. Maybe it could be 12 million dollars? Just imagining it gave Paula goosebumps."We can rent your best room," she said.The glamorously dressed woman looked at Paula with a sarcastic smile. "Really? That's the price for a standard room, and it's just one of the rooms in this hotel. Imagine how much it would cost for the best room here-maybe up to 14 million dollars. Are you sure you can afford that?"Paula felt depressed

The hotel staff looked amazed when the man appeared. His expression was not only shocked, but a mixture of confusion, anxiety, and fear covered his face. He wanted to run away, but his feet felt frozen. Sweat was pouring down her forehead, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.The glamorously dressed woman beside the staff frowned, trying to understand the situation. Although she didn't know the man, his clothes and shoes cost thousands of dollars, which made it clear that this man was from the upper class and very wealthy.The woman whispered, "Who is he?""He is the General Manager of this hotel, Blue Sky," the staff member replied shaky.Hearing that answer, the glamorous woman was stunned. The leader of a hotel as big as Blue Could kneel before someone? That meant this person was not only rich but also possessed far more power or a higher degree than the General Manager himself.Seeing the leader of the Blue Sky Hotel kneeling respectfully in front of Carson surprised everyon

"We are not thieves," Alison said firmly, her voice trembling with conviction. Even her gaze was cold. She didn't like being called a thief, as the boutique owner accused her of being.The boutique owner laughed sarcastically. She looked at Alison and Paula with an irritated gaze, her eyes narrowing to emphasize his anger. "Have you forgotten what happened two years ago? You came here too. What happened then? There's no way you've forgotten," she said dismissively.Alison and Paula fell silent, their faces turning pale. Anger and shame flooded through them as the memory of what happened two years ago came back. They faced a very embarrassing situation, were accused of stealing clothes, and could not prove their innocence because the clothes in question were found in Alison's bag. They could not be evasive."It was just a misunderstanding. We didn't steal your clothes," Paula said firmly, her voice shaking with emotion.From the boutique owner's point of view, Alison and Paula were sti

Paula and Alison, who had heard the customers' whispers, felt very upset. It felt like embers were burning in their chests. They were insulted-not just by one person but by almost everyone there. Why, just because their clothes were cheaper. Quickly, they were accused for no apparent reason.In fact, they didn't know the root of the problem between them and the owner of this boutique. Surprisingly, despite not knowing the whole story, the boutique's customers endured the insults. It made no sense to Alison and Paula. Their hearts felt cut and upset; no one believed them."Stop calling us thieves," Alison shouted in an angry tone, breaking the silence and drawing the attention of everyone in the boutique. Her tears were about to fall, but she held herself back. We don't deserve to be treated like this. You don't know what happened. You better shut your mouths."Her voice echoed, adding to the intensity of her anger and despair. They felt at the center of a storm of injustice and unfoun
