Alessia Quinn smiled and said, "I’m really sorry, I accidentally stepped on your skirt. How much is this skirt? Send the bill later, and I’ll pay for it." But she still felt a pang of regret, wishing that Mabel Quinn’s entire skirt had been torn off, truly embarrassing the opponent.
Mabel Quinn looked at her coldly, clearly understanding that Alessia had done it on purpose.
"This skirt is beyond your ans, but since you think you can afford it, I’ll send you the bill. However, when you see the bill, don’t cry and say you can’t pay," Mabel said as she bent down, tore along the damaged part of the skirt. Instantly, the long skirt that once reached her ankles beca knee-length.
Alessia gritted her teeth. She had intended to embarrass Mabel but now felt like the one being humiliated.
The surrounding people noticed the scene and turned to look.
"Can’t afford it? It’s just a torn skirt, nothing special. Mabel Quinn, you’re just banking on Kyle Kinston. What do you think you’ll have left if he ever dumps you?" Alessia retorted angrily.
Mabel suddenly stepped toward Alessia, smiling coldly, speaking in a voice only they could hear, "You’re right, I am relying on Kyle. But tell , if I ask Kyle to ensure you never rise again, how long do you think you can stay the Quinn Family’s young lady?"
Alessia shuddered, recalling the downfall of her uncle and cousin, her teeth chattering as she said, "You... you wouldn’t dare..."
"Considering you’ve co to provoke twice today, do you think I wouldn’t dare?" Mabel’s voice grew colder, her almond-shaped eyes filled with a chill and dominance that made Alessia feel as if any sound she tried to make was stuck in her throat.
At this mont, a voice rose, "What’s going on?"
Mabel looked up to see Kyle Kinston rushing over, a clear concern on his face. She smiled and said, "Nothing much, just that Miss Quinn here ’accidentally’ stepped on my skirt, but she also said she can compensate."
Kyle cast a cold glance at Alessia, whose face turned pale as her heart sank, imdiately regretting her impulsive actions.
No matter how much she disliked Mabel, the fact was Mabel was Kyle’s girlfriend now, and the example of her uncle’s family was right before her!
Suddenly, Kyle lowered himself, kneeling down in front of Mabel.
The onlookers who had been watching the scene were all taken aback. After all, when had they ever seen the high and mighty CEO kneel like this in front of others?
Mabel was also stunned, and she tried to step back, but Kyle’s hand had already grasped her ankle. "Don’t move," he said.
Only then did Mabel realize that a fragnt of fabric was caught on the anklet, and Kyle was helping her remove the pieces of fabric.
His movents were careful, carrying a visible sense of protectiveness.
Beside them, Alessia finally saw clearly that Mabel was wearing an anklet adorned with a dazzling pink diamond. Such an anklet was rare due to the scarcity of pink diamonds, let alone fashioned into a chain. Even Alessia herself didn’t have one. Seeing Mabel wearing it now made her jealousy intensify.
