“I said no. Notify all flagship stores: do not sell anything to anyone associated with the Sterling family.”
Sienna clicked her tongue, wondering how the Sterlings had managed to offend her boss so thoroughly. “Understood.”

Meanwhile, the Sterling household was bustling with wedding preparations. Since the Holts were dragging their feet on details like the dress, Melissa took charge.
“Don’t worry, darling. Mom has handled everything. I’ve ordered a custom gown from LUMEN Studio. And next month, they’re releasing a new necklace. I’m going to pull some strings and get it for you before the launch. You’ll be the envy of every bride in the city,” Melissa boasted.
“LUMEN Studio? The famous luxury brand?” Emily was shocked. Back when she lived with the Whelans, such things were fantasies. But since returning to the Sterlings, she had done her research. LUMEN was the pinnacle of status. Owning a pre-release item was the ultimate flex.
Melissa smiled smugly. “Of course.” She prided herself on her connection to LUMEN. Being able to secure pre-release items at half price made her a queen bee in her social circle.
Her phone rang. She answered confidently, only for her expression to crumble.
“What? You won’t sell it to me? Why? My daughter is getting married! I am a VIP client! I always get early access!”
“I apologize, Mrs. Sterling. We cannot fulfill your request,” the voice on the other end said coolly.
