Her words struck Elisa and Jaxon like a blow; Jaxon's eyes widened in disbelief. Irene, though aware of Dustin's extraordinary membership, remained impressed. What did the store assistant mean? Even a Gold Membership, a status Dustin held, was easily canceled. What kind of membership granted him such influence? A Supreme Membership? It seemed the entire store catered solely to him.
A Bronze Membership was a coveted dream for countless wealthy Lannopolitans; none in the West family qualified. Jaxon's Gold Membership, the highest in Lannopolis, was rendered insignificant before Dustin. When had Gold Membership become so trivial? The sheer audacity of it was shocking. What membership rank could command such unbelievable treatment? They'd never heard of a membership surpassing all others. News of this would send shockwaves through Lannopolis, as the store's background was far from simple; its memberships symbolized wealth and power. To be its most esteemed guest... what unimaginable status and identity did that require?
"This... uh... what..." Elisa stammered, utterly shocked and shaken.
"Who is he?" Jaxon's face darkened, his usual pride in his Gold Membership shattered by this overwhelming display of power. The store's willingness to revoke his membership for this person was unbelievable.
A profound silence fell over the second floor. The three stared at Dustin.
"So, this dress belongs to us then, right?" Dustin broke the silence.
"Of course," the store assistant replied. "You are entitled to the highest discounts. There's also a premium section, open only to high-level members, featuring clothes designed by world-renowned designers. You are free to select anything." "Alright. Please pack this dress."
Irene removed the dress. Elisa and Jaxon, humiliated and embarrassed, silently descended the stairs, their faces grim.
Dustin allowed Irene to choose several more dresses. She hesitated, selecting three expensive sets. Despite her concerns, Dustin's nonchalant demeanor suggested an extraordinary identity. At checkout, he casually swiped a card, completing the purchase without a second thought. Even with the steep discounts, the total was considerable, yet Dustin paid without hesitation, leaving Elisa once again stunned by his wealth.
