The so-called face-slapping, that’s all it is!
Everyone stared at Adrian Law in astonishnt, completely unprepared for his noble identity!
Earlier, Chloe Alden kept calling him a kept man, insisting Adrian Law relied on won, and combined with Cecilia’s extravagant spending on a male companion, they really thought...
The shop assistants were all left speechless.
And needless to say, Chloe Alden and Fiona Vaughn were even more shocked; Adrian Law turned out to be the real boss behind this departnt store!
A man like this, with such a considerable net worth, how had they never heard of him before?
...
The general manager completely ignored the strange looks from others.
He only knew that there was trouble here, but he never expected it would involve Adrian Law!
Terrified, he could only nervously explain himself.
"BOSS, it’s my fault for not managing the store’s affairs well, but the store usually runs smoothly, not at all like what you saw today..."
Adrian Law stood indifferently beside Cecilia Vaughn, his handso face calm and unreadable.
The general manager’s face was drenched in sweat, not knowing where to place his hands.
...
At the mont when the general manager feared he would be demoted, Adrian Law glanced at him.
"No worries, today’s incident is not your fault."
The general manager imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the next second, Adrian Law spoke coldly.
"This woman nad Zhao is causing trouble out of nowhere. Have security take her away, and if she can’t co up with 1.5 million tonight, send her to jail."
"Al...alright!"
The general manager wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly agreed.
This was a golden opportunity to redeem himself in front of the BOSS; he couldn’t afford to miss it!
...
Chloe Alden’s face imdiately turned ashen.
She had just been released, and if she were thrown into that hellish place again, she’d go mad!
For the first ti, Chloe Alden regretted her own willfulness. She used to have the Alden Family to cover for her, but her father had warned her that if she continued misbehaving, she could forget about her monthly allowance of tens of thousands!
This cannot reach her father’s ears!
Fifty thousand wasn’t out of her budget, but if it turned into a hundred and fifty thousand, then that wasn’t just pocket money!
...
Cecilia Vaughn looked at Chloe Alden’s pale face, a sarcastic smile tugging at her lips.
"Miss Alden, didn’t you say earlier you could imdiately pay the compensation? Why hesitate now?"
Chloe Alden was sweating profusely, and after gritting her teeth, she reluctantly turned to Fiona Vaughn for help.
"Fiona... I don’t have enough money on hand, can you cover half for ?"
"..."
Fiona Vaughn was in no mood to deal with such a ss!
She always liked to benefit from Chloe Alden, but would never take the fall for her.
Biting her pink lips, Fiona Vaughn looked very troubled.
"Chloe, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I’m busy with my engagent to Tyson Law—wedding dresses, engagent banquet, rings, and the groom’s side of the engagent gifts—all require a lot of money, and I just can’t co up with that much right now..."
Upon hearing Fiona Vaughn’s words, Cecilia Vaughn rolled her eyes.
"Fiona Vaughn, I heard from Tyson Law that whether it’s the engagent or the actual wedding, the Law Family will cover all the costs?"
"..."
Exposed by Cecilia Vaughn, Fiona Vaughn’s expression soured.
Chloe Alden also looked at her in surprise and skepticism, as if questioning their sisterly bond.
"Fiona, you—"
Now caught in a dilemma, and considering Chloe Alden’s status as the mayor’s daughter and niece of Director Chandler of ASC, whose value far exceeded a million, Fiona Vaughn finally nodded, albeit pained.
"Chloe, I didn’t an to deceive you; I just thought, as a new-age independent woman, I shouldn’t let the man bear all the costs, so I took it upon myself to shoulder half."
"But now that you’re in trouble, I can abandon my original plan, Chloe. You an the most to ."
Choking back tears, Fiona Vaughn pretended to be generous as she took out her card, her nails nearly piercing her palm!
She actually had to spend 750,000 for a fool, which was a huge loss!
In the future, she must recoup it from Chloe Alden!
...
Chloe Alden was moved to tears.
"Fiona, you’re still the best to ..."
The sight of their "sisterly bond" made Cecilia Vaughn shiver with goosebumps.
Cecilia Vaughn narrowed her eyes, not minding pouring more fuel on the fire.
"Chloe Alden, do you rember having a crush on our class president, Riley Lynch, back in high school?"
Chloe Alden was montarily stunned, then her brows furrowed.
"Cecilia Vaughn, why are you bringing that up! You trying to say that Riley Lynch liked you back then, and now that I’m interested in the man beside you, he’s also still infatuated with you?"
"Using others’ pain to elevate yourself, you’re disgusting!"
Cecilia Vaughn ignored Chloe Alden’s insult and swept her almond eyes over the pitiful-looking Fiona Vaughn, letting out a snort.
"It’s nothing to do with ; you might want to ask the woman next to you."
"Do you know how many anonymous emails Fiona Vaughn sent the class president back then, filled with your risqué photos from nightclubs, like sitting on a man’s lap drinking wine or passing a card mouth to mouth..."
Chloe Alden’s face imdiately beca unsightly.
"Cecilia Vaughn, stop spouting nonsense! Fiona would never do that to !"
She accepted Fiona Vaughn from the core of her being!
Fiona would praise her fashion taste, recomnd her the most luxurious skincare brands, and even now, lend her so much money!
...
No cure for stupidity.
Seeing Chloe Alden being so beyond help, Cecilia Vaughn rely shrugged indifferently and turned to the shop assistant.
"Could you please help wrap another watch?"
"Certainly."
The saleswoman smiled and nodded. Even though Cecilia Vaughn wasn’t covered in brand nas like Chloe Alden, her every move was elegant, a stark contrast in personal qualities.
Plus, birds of a feather flock together. That woman in white with sunglasses might truly be the kind of person Cecilia Vaughn described!
...
Cecilia Vaughn took the ginkgo watch wrapped by the shop assistant and left hand in hand with Adrian Law.
Chloe Alden, still unwilling to let it go, tried to chase after them but was stopped by security.
She had no choice but to pay the money with red eyes. Had Fiona Vaughn not covered half, she might not have been able to leave this departnt store today!
Chloe Alden felt deeply grateful to Fiona Vaughn in her heart.
"Fiona, I know it was Cecilia Vaughn who slandered you; I’ll always believe in you."
With tears in her beautiful eyes, Fiona Vaughn "reminded" seamlessly.
"Chloe, I was hardly acquainted with Riley in high school. Could it have been my sister who sent those emails..."
Those emails were anonymous; how did Cecilia Vaughn find out?
The manipulative little vixen was becoming more and more cunning.
Fiona Vaughn dug her nails into her palm, glancing at the upcoming Radiant Group’s relocation ceremony. With her extravagant gift already prepared, what reason could she use to entice Cecilia Vaughn to attend?
...
"It definitely was Cecilia Vaughn who sent those emails!"
Chloe Alden heard Fiona Vaughn’s "reminder," and the jealousy in her heart grew. She dialed Katherine North’s number with a venomous glare.
"Katherine, can you do a favor? When classes resu on Monday, at Cecilia Vaughn’s..."
