\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 490<\/p>\n
Chapter 490<\/p>\n
Even though the Jarrett family was currently the most prestigious family in Clusia, Jean hadn\u2019t been raised to be a spoiled rich girl.<\/p>\n
Jean had never been one to chase after luxury brands. Watching Cherise being so warmly welcomed, she couldn\u2019t help but think how impressive Cherise was, her face full of admiration.<\/p>\n
However, the excessive enthusiasm from the waitresses began to annoy a few customers still inside the store.<\/p>\n
Just a moment ago, these waitresses were all hovering around her, and now, in the blink of an eye, they had turned to greet Cherise.<\/p>\n
One customer, visibly irritated, spoke up. \u201cDidn\u2019t you say we were the last customers for today? Why are they welcomed? This goes against your store\u2019s policy and service standards.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this some kind of special treatment? We came all the way from Hesperia just for this. Are you trying to ruin your reputation by treating customers like this?\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman who spoke was a Clusian, yet she spoke in Hesperian.<\/p>\n
The store, aside from the clothes, shoes, and bags on display, was spacious and almost empty. Many of the customers at Taylor Vogue were multilingual and affluent.<\/p>\n
Almost everyone in the store heard her words.<\/p>\n
Cherise and Jean, of course, heard it too. Just as they were about to head upstairs, they stopped.<\/p>\n
Turning around, they saw a well\u2013maintained, impeccably dressed woman sitting on one of the sofas on the first floor, Lucia.<\/p>\n
As Cherise looked down, Lucia met her gaze and looked up.<\/p>\n
Lucia exuded an air of arrogance mixed with the haughty attitude of the wealthy.<\/p>\n
But when their eyes met, Cherise\u2019s cold gaze made Lucia hesitate<\/p>\n
Cherise let out a quiet scoff and turned, leading Jean up the stairs without a word.<\/p>\n
Lucia, seeing this, became displeased.<\/p>\n
To Lucia, this was a blatant display of disrespect. With her status in Hesperia, she had never been treated so rudely before.<\/p>\n
Fuming, she stood up and called out to Cherise and Jean\u2019s retreating figures. \u201cStop right there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean felt a bit uneasy, but Cherise, holding her hand, continued walking as if she hadn\u2019t heard a thing.<\/p>\n
Lucia\u2019s tone grew more forceful. Seeing Cherise and Jean ignore her, she quickened her pace and caught up. \u201cLadies, didn\u2019t<\/p>\n
hear me say stop? you<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you deaf? Hey, you clearly said you weren\u2019t accepting anyone else today. How come they\u2019re allowed to stroll up without showing any reservation? Did you let in friends or relatives? Are you playing favorites here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice grew louder, attracting the attention of other shoppers who began to wonder what was going on.<\/p>\n
Lucia was catching up quickly, while Cherise and Jean moved at a leisurely pace, so it wasn\u2019t long before Lucia, shouting loudly, overtook them and blocked their way.<\/p>\n
The waitresses immediately gathered around. \u201cMadam, we do not allow disturbances here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jean didn\u2019t know what to do in the face of Lucia\u2019s forceful attitude, especially since they hadn\u2019t made a reservation. \u201cCherise, is everything alright?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise shook her head and whispered, \u201cIt\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Lucia had been standing below earlier, she had only seen Cherise from a distance, planning to question her again. But upon seeing her face up close, her voice began to soften.<\/p>\n
Now, something about her face seemed oddly familiar, and she had an aristocratic air.<\/p>\n
But Lucia could not let go of her questioning attitude. She couldn\u2019t afford to embarrass herself.<\/p>\n
After straightening her posture, Lucia addressed them again, still in Hesperian. \u201cWhy were you allowed to come in without a<\/p>\n
reservation?\u201d<\/p>\n
She pointed at the waitresses. \u201cDid you let them in because they\u2019re someone special? Or is this so\u2013called reservation system just a joke?<\/p>\n
\u201cI know the group that came in just before we had all made reservations a week in advance. If you\u2019ve been letting people in through the connections, I\u2019ll report you to the authorities and expose this to the media.\u201d<\/p>\n
The waitress, eager not to disturb the other customers, quickly explained, \u201cMa\u2019am, this young lady is allowed to come and go freely at Taylor Vogue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unexpectedly, Lucia immediately cut her off. \u201cI don\u2019t want to hear from you. You\u2019re just a waitress, and you\u2019re obviously going to defend her for the store\u2019s reputation. I want to hear from her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia pointed directly at Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise crossed her arms, watching the scene unfold. It had been a while since she\u2019d encountered such an unreasonable woman. She wondered if Lucia\u2019s age and fluctuating hormones were causing her to act this way, affecting both her emotions and intelligence.<\/p>\n
Unbothered by Lucia\u2019s antics, Cherise kept her arms crossed, exuding a calm and unbothered demeanor.<\/p>\n
Lucia, seeing that Cherise wasn\u2019t even acknowledging her and kept silent, quickly concluded that Cherise must be guilty of sneaking in through the connections and was too ashamed to admit it.<\/p>\n
Lucia threatened to speak to the owner and demanded an explanation, both for herself and for all the other customers.<\/p>\n
The waitress was caught off guard, unsure of what to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise\u2026\u201d Jean asked, now visibly nervous.<\/p>\n
Cherise smirked and then spoke up. \u201cMadam, I can tell by your accent that you\u2019re Clusian, so I won\u2019t speak to you in Hesperian.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should be able to understand what I\u2019m saying. Must you be so self\u2013righteous in front of everyone? Like a madwoman throwing a tantrum? You\u2019ve been loud and obnoxious from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia, momentarily stunned, raised her voice. \u201cDid you just call me a madwoman?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise gave a cold smile. \u201cWould you say you\u2019re not one?\u201d<\/p>\n
The atmosphere became incredibly awkward.<\/p>\n
One of the onlookers, perhaps feeling that Cherise had a point, couldn\u2019t help but laugh out loud.<\/p>\n
Lucia\u2019s face turned bright red. \u201cI don\u2019t care. I want to see whether she has a reservation. If she doesn\u2019t, you need to throw her<\/p>\n

out, or I\u2019ll make sure Taylor Vogue\u2019s reputation is ruined.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just as Lucia finished speaking, a soft, calm voice came from the<\/p>\n
