First Mrs. Sterling finished calling Mr. Sterling, then called her family.
"Sister-in-law, yes, The Ford Family is putting up a proud front, saying they won’t do business with The Lawrence Family."
"Aunt, that’s not what Julia ant."
Felicity Sterling sensed sothing amiss; Julia Kane wanted to kick Serena Sullivan out, along with First Mrs. Sterling, but she didn’t say she wouldn’t oppose The Lawrence Family.
Julia Kane’s expression also turned panicked. The Lawrence Family has considerable power in the Imperial Capital. If her family found out she refused business with them, they would definitely scold her.
First Mrs. Sterling ignored Felicity’s anxiety and Julia’s annoyance, continuing with her calls.
This ti, she called her circle of socialite friends.
"Mrs. Yin, right at The Ford Family’s mall, I don’t want to fuss with the young girl, but she told to get lost!"
"Oh, Mrs. Hu, is she talking about marriage?"
"Even with a distant relation, she treats harshly like this. Such an inconsiderate young girl, marries into any family, and she’ll tear the roof off."
...
By the ti First Mrs. Sterling finished her calls, Julia Kane was on the verge of tears.
Recently, The Ford Family had been helping her select a husband, hoping to form a strong alliance with another prestigious family in the Imperial Capital.
Given The Ford Family’s status and her own beauty and capability, Julia believed she could find a good husband.
Who knew, First Mrs. Sterling made call after call to her socialite friends.
Those friends were the family heads or direct descendants of major families, their influence obvious. After First Mrs. Sterling’s "promotion," what reputation was left for her!
They’d truly think she was inconsiderate, unaware of family interests, just behaving willfully.
"The person I wanted out was her, not you!"
As soon as First Mrs. Sterling ended a call, Julia Kane rushed to speak, afraid she’d make another call.
"Aunt, it’s our fault. Please don’t hold it against Julia."
A girl’s reputation is crucial, especially for Julia, who was negotiating marriage.
Who knows how those few chatty ladies First Mrs. Sterling was calling would gossip and tarnish Julia’s na!
"I’m not holding it against you!" First Mrs. Sterling coldly laughed while holding the phone. Just shopping at a mall buying clothes, and she had to endure such treatnt.
"I’ll definitely hold you accountable."
First Mrs. Sterling lowered her voice, her gaze coldly landing on Felicity.
Julia Kane’s move to kick soone out had nothing to do with Felicity, she did not believe it.
Young girls fear losing their place in the family, playing a little trick, she understood that.
But...
"Felicity, Nancy is my daughter, also your sister, don’t mimic your mother!"
Both socialites from two major families married into the sa household to two brothers, but First Mrs. Sterling had disliked June Kane for a long ti.
When June Kane made a huge scene, forcing Simon Sterling to marry her back then, she often showcased their love to everyone after the wedding.
In her view, the less happy one was, the more they had to show off, and obsession taken to an extre is not good.
"You’re bullying us."
Unable to argue with First Mrs. Sterling and not daring to drive them out of the mall again, Julia Kane stomped her feet and ran off crying.
Felicity Sterling’s face turned pale and red from First Mrs. Sterling’s words. Annoyed and angry, she glanced at Serena Sullivan in the wheelchair and followed suit.
With the two main young ladies gone, the security dared not continue to evict anyone. The counter staff imdiately brought out the clothes and handed them to First Mrs. Sterling.
First Mrs. Sterling no longer wanted them. In such a vast place as the Imperial Capital, was The Ford Family the only one with a mall?
