Chapter 23 Embarrassing Winter in Public Winter burst out laughing . " You're such a joke , Nancy . Didn't I tell you to kneel and ask nicely ? Why did you have to embarrass yourself like this ? I'm taking this bracelet . " Raine smirked . Seeing that the sales assistant had boxed up the bracelet , Winter reached out to take it . However , the sales assistant handed it to Nancy instead . " Miss , the bracelet has been paid for . Here you go . " Nancy was puzzled , but she soon grasped the situation after giving it some thought . Winter found the situation unacceptable . " What did you say ? Who paid for it ? Did you guys make a mistake ? " " It's not a mistake , " the sales assistant responded firmly . A look flickered in Raine's eyes , and she whispered something into Winter's ear . " Really ? " Winter asked in surprise . " Without a doubt , " Raine replied , her voice low . Winter glared at Nancy with growing contempt . " I didn't expect you to stoop this low . What a disgrace . " " You two are really the perfect pair . Nothing decent ever comes out of your mouths , " Nancy said coolly , casting them a dismissive glance before turning and walking away . " You ! " Winter was utterly livid , her eyes red with fury . Unable to contain her curiosity , Raine asked , " Winter , how do you know Nancy ? " " She was quite the person back then . " " Huh ? What do you mean ? " Winter snorted . " Do you know the Moores ? " Raine's heart skipped a beat . She wondered if Nancy had something to do with the Moores . " She did everything she could to cling to the Moores , but they kicked her out , " Winter stated with utmost disgust . Raine instantly felt relieved because she had thought that Nancy might be related to the Moores . " It seems like I was overthinking it . The Moore family is the most powerful family in Boraska - even the Seabournes can't compare to them , " Raine thought . " True . She is that kind of person . Don't let someone like her ruin your mood , Winter . Let's continue shopping , " Raine said with a smile . Suddenly , Raine said , " By the way , I know a few skincare product researchers that Nancy fired . All of them are capable workers . You're hiring , right ? I'd like to recommend them to you . " " Sure . We can meet up one day , " Winter replied . Nancy dropped by a clothing store to buy some clothes for Ian . The sight of the ties made her suddenly think of Gideon . Gideon had given her quite a sum to spend . He would refuse to take it if she returned it to him . Hence , Nancy thought of buying him something . At that thought , she began carefully choosing a tie . Nancy spotted a navy blue tie with vintage embroidery in the middle . Just as she was about to take it , a hand snatched it away . She looked up to find a man around her age shopping for ties as well . The man was well - dressed and decent - looking . Noticing Nancy's gaze on him , he looked over . " Do you want it too ? " Nancy pondered for a while before she replied , " It's okay . You got it first . " " It's fine . You can have it . It looks like you're shopping for your dad ? " asked the man , handing Nancy the tie and studying the set of clothes in her hands that suited the style of a middle - aged man . Nancy couldn't be bothered to clear up the misunderstanding . After thanking him , she walked away to settle the bill . By the time Nancy had given lan and Freya the gifts , it was already late She arrived at Gideon's door , placed the gift there , and left to wait for the elevator . It didn't take long for the elevator door to open . A tall figure walked out in a cool manner . The moment their eyes met , both of them were surprised . " Nancy ? " Gideon's deep voice rang out . " I didn't think you'd be home so early . Thanks for buying the bracelet for me . This is for you . I was shopping and thought this tie would look good on you , Nancy said , picking up the gift .
