Chapter 168 Serena's lips twitched.
What a narcissist. When did she ever say she was picking out clothes for him? "There are mirrors all around-you should take a good look at yourself and figure out what you are and where you stand. I'm choosing a shirt for my boyfriend. What does that have to do with an outsider like you?" She shot Zach a cold glance-only to spot a well-designed shirt nearby that caught her interest. With his broad shoulders and tapered waist, Hugh would look great in it.
So she walked straight past Zach, bumping into his shoulder as she made her way over.
Zach staggered a step back, the light in his eyes instantly dimming.

A moment ago, she thought the shirt looked nice. Now, just because it was associated with Zach, she suddenly found it utterly repulsive.
"If it suits Zach, then it's too low-class for my boyfriend. You can have it." With that, she turned and walked away.
Wendy gritted her teeth in frustration, but she couldn't throw a tantrum in the store. Then, from the corner of her eye, she noticed Serena looking at another shirt.
Immediately, she spun around and snatched it before Serena could.
"This one looks great too! Zach, ctry it on. If it looks good, I'll buy it for you." With that, she eagerly presented the shirt to Zach as if waiting for praise. Serena let out a soft laugh and simply moved on to browse other options. Wendy heard the laugh and thought Serena was mocking her, fueling her irritation. But the moment she realized she had successfully snatched away everything Serena had her eye on, she felt triumphant.
"Zach, try it on!" She happily smoothed out the shirt and tried to push Zach toward the fitting room until her gaze landed on the price tag.
It was six figures! How could a plain, simple dress shirt be this expensive? No wonder Serena had laughed at her earlier! With her limited budget, there was no way she could afford it.
She blushed in embarrassment. A moment later, she hurriedly pulled the shirt back and forced a laugh. "Actually, on a closer look, Zach, maybe this one doesn't fit you. Letfind something else instead." Before she could make a move, two voices rang out at the stime.
"Miss, please getthe sstyle in this size and wrap it up for me. Here's my card." Serena casually handed over her card, her expression amused as she watched Wendy flounder.

"Oh? Serena, why didn't you bring your boyfriend shopping with you? Aren't you afraid he think you're wasting money when he sees you buying a six-figure shirt?" Serena didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled.
A six-figure shirt was expensive. But Hugh had ruined his shirt while m helping her find her cat. And his shirt had cost far more than the one she was buying now. Her husband, in nat least, probably wouldn't mind her spending her own money on a gift for him.
She tilted her head, her smile dazzling.
"He never thinks I waste money. And besides not every woman enjoys being a freeloader like you. A om six-figure shirt? I can afford it. As long as it suits him, that's all that matters." She took the shopping bag from the sales assistant, casually twirled the keys to her Cullinan, and walked out with effortless grace.
Wendy's face went pale. She could afford a Cullinan?
