Chapter 1117
Sally ignored her and went to the cashier to exchange fifteen thousand in cash before giving it to Beatrix.
However, Beatrix refused to take the money. Instead, she stared at Sally with her arms folded. “Even if you have
the money, this is a pair of limited edition boots. I can't find it in the market anymore.”
“What do you want, then?” Sally stared back at her.
Beatrix felt chills running down her spine when Sally stared at her. Nonetheless, she knew the Loake family had
fallen, so she didn't need to be afraid of Sally.
Beatrix stretched out her leg and demanded, “Wipe it clean and pay me. I'll then let the matter slide.”
Sally lowered her gaze toward Beatrix's boot and remembered how she had done the same to Genevieve in a cafe
back then. I did that to Genevieve to put her in a difficult spot. It seems like I'm just as despicable as Beatrix.
Right then, Amanda stood in front of Sally and fumed, “We can compensate you. However, if you were to take our
money and ask us to clean your boot, you're blatantly making things difficult for us.”
Beatrix glanced at Amanda and noticed how delicate and pretty Amanda looked. “Sally, I've been wanting to ask
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou something. Who is this child? Is she yours?”
“She's my uncle's personal bodyguard,” Amanda answered instead.
Hearing that, Beatrix took another glance at Amanda and remembered someone had told her that Sally had
frequently gone to Specter Corporation to look for Cooper. Cooper is Genevieve's brother, right?
Beatrix instantly got a grasp of the situation. “Oh! This is Genevieve's kid!”
Amanda found Beatrix rather annoying, and she thought Beatrix looked disgusting whenever she smiled. Reluctant
to prolong the conversation, Amanda uttered, “We'll pay you money, but you ought to clean your own shoes.”
With that, Amanda shoved the money into Beatrix's grip and pulled Sally away.
Despite Amanda's efforts, Beatrix knew it was a rare opportunity to have bumped into Sally, so Beatrix wanted to
give her a hard time.
Beatrix stood in the middle of the aisle and blocked them before saying to Amanda, “Kid, I think you should just ask
Sally to be your new mother. After all, you don't have a mother anymore.”
“You're the one without a mother!” Enraged, tears started to well up in Amanda's eyes.
“It seems like your uncle's bodyguard hasn't told you about it.” Beatrix grinned and continued, “Your parents are—”
Before Beatrix could finish her sentence, Sally grabbed Beatrix's hair and smashed her face into the wall.
Consequently, Beatrix's face was buried in the wall, and she was having difficulty breathing.
Sally tightened her grip on Beatrix's neck and uttered with her icy gaze, “The Loake family has fallen, so go ahead
and bully me all you want. Don't drag the kid into it.”
“L-Let go...” Beatrix was frightened. “I won't say a thing. I won't...”
Sally let go of Beatrix in response.
Beatrix caught her breath, and she was infuriated. Dying to have a go at Sally, she frowned and was about to lose
her temper.
Just then, someone came over.
Charlotte was holding a few dolls in her hands when she suddenly saw Amanda. “Hey! Aren't you Genevieve's
daughter? Is your mommy with you?”
Charlotte looked behind Amanda and realized that wasn't Genevieve. That looks like the woman who's always by
Cooper's side.
Amanda cocked her head to one side and asked, “Do you know me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Of course! I've had quite a few meals with your mommy. She has a photo of you and your brother as her
screensaver on her phone.” Charlotte reached out her hand to pinch Amanda's cheek.
Charlotte noticed Amanda's reddened eyes, so she asked in confusion, “What's the matter? Did someone bully
you?”
“Yes. That woman standing beside you.” Amanda pointed at Beatrix. “She wanted Ms. Loake to wipe her shoe, and
she said I don't have a mother.”
In the past, Beatrix wouldn't respect Charlotte one bit.
However, after the incident, Beatrix found out that Charlotte had backers. Besides, Beatrix knew Charlotte had dirt
on her, so she didn't dare to cross Charlotte.
Hence, Beatrix wanted to leave after letting out a snort and tidying up her hair. However, Charlotte walked up to
her and stood in her way. “Did I hear you let out a snort? Did you think you could bully anyone just because the
Gaudette family is backing you up?”
Beatrix glared at Charlotte and roared, “Who are you calling a bully?”
“I was just asking you a question, but if the shoe fits, wear it.” Charlotte let out a chuckle. “How dare you bully
Genevieve's kid? Are you sick of living?”
