I nced at Eleanor and whispered, "They''re talking about Sautoir Fine Jewelry."


    The twodies beside memented, "Young people nowadays are so materialistic. They don''t even look at who''s wearing the jewelry. Is that girl a princess?"


    It seemed these two individuals harbored deep-seated resentment toward the Chandler family.


    Just as I was about to inquire further, there was a suddenmotion behind us.


    "Oh, Ms. Hazelyn, your gown is gorgeous! I''ve been admiring it for quite some time."


    "I love your jewelry! Is it from Sautoir? It looks quite expensive."


    "Haha. It''s not expensive at all. Just a little over a million dors. After all, our family coborates with Sautoir, so I always get to choose from thetest release."


    I found her words amusing. Coborating with Sautoir? The Chandler family? This was news to me.


    I discreetly listened to their conversation, and the two middle-ageddies beside me scoffed, casting a sidelong nce at Hazelyn.


    "I heard the Chandler family is making big moves again. Hazelyn, you''re fortunate!"


    "Yeah. My father said our business wasn''t suitable for girls, so he forced me to manage high-end malls. That''s why I wanted to take over Grand Tribeca." Hazelyn proudly exined, her tone sounding somewhat helpless.


    Her unting was well-practiced, but I wondered how much truth was behind her words.


    Suddenly, a girl eximed excitedly, "Really? Oh my. So, does that mean we''ll have a high-end mall in Gerby in the future? That''s fantastic. We won''t have to go elsewhere to buy luxury goods anymore. My favorite mall is Arkadia za in Foswood."


    "Arkadia za is nothing. After acquiring Grand Tribeca, I n to operate it following foreign management practices. My father said the next step is to acquire Arkadia za, hoping that all the first-tier cities in the country will have our luxury malls." Hazelyn''s tone was assertive.


    "What? Does your family want to acquire Arkadia za? I heard Arkadia za''s owner has a background." a girl countered.


    I almost burst intoughter.


    Even Eleanor looked at me


    wide-eyed and whispered, "Did I hear


    correctly? They want to acquire Arkadia za? That takes some


    nerve. Where did she get that confidence?"


    I barely held back myughter. Finally, I couldn''t contain it and burst into a chuckle.


    Myughter attracted quite a bit of attention, even from the twodies beside me, who looked at me with confusion.


    I quickly suppressed my amusement, but I sessfully drew Hazelyn''s attention even with that small chuckle.


    Hazelyn walked over to me


    gracefully while narrowing her eyes. The gleam in her eyes suddenly turned cold as she stared at me.


    "You''re the youngdy I saw Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    the


    hospital this morning, right? What, are you here to find clients for investment?"


    Her tone was full of disdain and mockery.


    Then she scrutinized me up and down, sarcastically saying, "I really can''t tell. With such a cheap-looking outfit, how dare you say you''vee to invest in Gerby? Aren''t you underestimating people in Gerby?"


    Her sharp voice immediately drew surprised nces, and many people turned to look at me.


    Their gazes were like spotlights, scanning me from head to toe and scrutinizing my appearance. In their eyes, my clothes were considered "cheap." Some had already started whispering.


    For a moment, I regretted praising the people here for not being judgmental. This was a reality check for me.


    Hazelyn, satisfied with the attention she garnered, continued with even more enthusiasm.
