บท 31: Framed by Someone

Samantha stopped in her tracks. It was indeed easier to cross paths with your enemies. Once again, she met Penelope.

Penelope did not appear as bedraggled and ridiculous as she did that day. Instead, she was wearing the latest suit-dress from Chanel, paired with Tiffany & Co's limited edition bracelet, and carrying the classic crocodile Hermes bag. 

She looked highly arrogant.

An older lady was standing next to Penelope, dressed in a more expensive outfit than Penelope, appearing more elegant and luxurious than her.

Samantha had seen the lady before on Nancy's birthday, but only from afar, and she knew that the woman was Penelope's mother, Violet.

Since Samantha was not interested in the mother-daughter duo, she quickly averted her gaze and walked directly to the counter.

"I'm here to take the herbs I ordered," Samantha informed the staff. Then, she took out a receipt from her bag and handed it to her.
