My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Dustin's adoptive father had been a formidable man. It would not be surprising even if one of the Seven Clans of Central Harbor pledged themselves in service of the Wyatt family, let alone a prominent family in Lannopolis. "Fox, if something happens to Phoebe, I'll make sure you die painfully!" Jaxon said threateningly.

"You don't have what it takes to threaten me," Dustin said flatly.

Jaxon's gaze turned vicious. He was about to rush forward and grab Dustin's collar.

Elisa paled and pulled Jaxon back.

Dustin was a sovereign grade fighter, and Jaxon could not beat him.

"What's this? Are you here to shop for clothes, too?" Elisa looked into the boutique. It seemed like she had found to attack him in at least one aspect. Her expression turned mocking.

"Dustin, you should know that this boutique isn't a place for just anyone to shop at. Every item of clothing inside is exorbitantly priced. It's not something most people can afford.

"Maybe you're at the wrong place? You should shop somewhere more... cheap."

Elisa's words were mocking, and she was intentionally trying to provoke Irene and Dustin.

The West family was not in the upper-class circle of Lannopolis, so they were not able to provide Dustin with much.

In Elisa's eyes, Dustin was still destitute. With Jaxon by her side, she could show off as she wanted.

"Although this boutique is expensive, it's not like we can't afford it," Dustin said in displeasure. He pulled Irene inside.

"What's the point of pretending to be rich? You should be more self-aware. Do you think I don't know how much you're worth?" Elisa sneered behind them. Then, she pulled Jaxon into the boutique as well.

After following Dustin inside, Irene's face turned stiff when she saw the prices of the clothes.

She knew that this boutique was expensive and only served the elite, but she never thought it would be this expensive.

None of the price tags were under the six-figure range.

In fact, the six-figure pricing was just the start.

Irene hesitated.

"Why don't we go somewhere else?" she suggested softly.

However, her words were overheard.

"You don't have the money, do you? You shouldn't have come if you don't have the money. Aren't you afraid you'll embarrass yourselves?" Elisa pulled Jaxon over to them and looked at them mockingly. "We're all friends here. If you don't have the money, you can always borrow some from me. I don't mind lending such a small sum. But I'm a little afraid that you might not be able to pay me back!"

Irene felt deeply uncomfortable at Elisa's words.

"There's no need. We can afford it," Dustin said evenly.

"Irene, go pick out something you like," he said.

Irene felt helpless. She did not want to humiliate Dustin, so she went to pick someone out anyway.

She would do her best to find something cheaper to save him some money.

Meanwhile, Elisa and Jaxon were standing at the side. They were not in any rush to look at the clothes themselves. They only wanted to see Irene and Dustin humiliate themselves.

'I know you're only pretending to have the money. You don't have any awareness at all. Even if you can afford a couple of items, we'll see if you can act haughty once you spend all that you have,' Elisa thought spitefully. Beside her, Jaxon's gaze filled with contempt.

He could not fight Dustin, but he could humiliate him through their financial standing. It would be especially sweet to watch since Dustin's woman was here, too. Jaxon was thrilled to have this chance.

He was sure that, with the wealth of his family, which happened to be the top family in Lannopolis, it would be easy to crush Dustin this way.

At the same time, he could show off in front of Elisa.
