The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Bad Karma, Good Karma

[Young Residence]

Melissa threw herself onto the couch in the family area, clearly upset about how her day had gone.

"Melissa, darling, what’s wrong?" Jasmine, having caught her daughter stomping in, quickly emerged from the doorway. Worry plastered her face as she rushed to Melissa’s side.

Melissa hissed, unable to contain the pent-up frustration she had been holding in all day.

"What happened? All my appointments today were canceled because the designers sold everything to someone else!" she harrumphed, exasperated. "And they didn’t even tell me beforehand!"

That was the most frustrating part.

It wasn’t the cancellations themselves that were the problem—it was that she wasn’t informed. In the end, she had traveled, only to be humiliated by being denied entry or told she couldn’t buy anything.

"This is so annoying!" she hissed through gritted teeth. "Is someone mocking me? How come all of them were unavailable the day I went there?"

Jasmine listened carefully and nodded in understanding. "Melissa, dear, you should’ve just rescheduled your appointments. It’s normal for these brands to prioritize clients of higher standing."

"Isn’t that why you and I have been working hard, so we don’t have to face these hardships?" Jasmine added, her tone softer, attempting to calm her daughter. "Just think ahead—soon, they’ll be the ones messaging you nonstop to come and visit their shops."

Still, that didn’t lighten Melissa’s mood.

"I already have the Summit Partners on my back," she muttered under her breath. "And they already know I’m there because I’m getting engaged to Derek. It’s the Lancasters!"

Melissa threw herself back onto the couch, crossing her arms. "If the Lancaster name isn’t enough to get me priority, am I... making the right decision, Mom?"

"Melissa." Jasmine’s smile faded as she looked at her daughter sternly. "Dear, what are you talking about? You weren’t given priority because you haven’t even married into the Lancasters yet. Once your engagement party is over and everyone sees you, they’ll know it’s not a joke anymore."

Even so, that didn’t sound particularly comforting.

"My dearest," Jasmine said, reaching out to stroke her daughter’s hair. "Can’t you reschedule?"

"They said they don’t know when their schedules will free up," Melissa grumbled. "So... I might not be able to buy anything from them before the engagement party."

She buried her face in her palms. "This is so annoying!"

All of Melissa’s top five choices were the best of the best. The rest? Mediocre. Her father and even Derek had already set a budget for her outfit. It wasn’t that she lacked new clothes—but this was different.

Jasmine, however, thought of a way for her daughter to get a dress that would make her the prettiest on that special day.

"Mom," Melissa suddenly looked up. "How about the MC Brand? Maybe... can I shop there?"

Jasmine’s breath hitched. Who didn’t know the MC Brand? Most elites owned at least one item from them. Unlike Melissa’s other top five brands, MC Brand was a dream. The only reason it wasn’t on her list was the price and the complicated purchasing process. Only the richest of the rich could afford more than a few items.

"Well..." Jasmine cleared her throat, hesitant. They would go over budget. "I have to ask your father first. After all, he bought Loren’s properties, and he still needs to sell them. So..."

Before she could finish, Lawrence suddenly marched in, fuming. Like Melissa, his chest rose and fell heavily as he plopped onto the one-seater couch.
