Chapter 27

Chapter 27:

Gerry brought Alicia in at the last minute to help her choose a dress.

She was unfamiliar with the events high-end and felt unsure about what to choose, so she completely relied on the store clerk's suggestions.

Finally, they chose a snow-white mermaid dress, decorated with silver threads, as pure as fresh snow fall.

The clerk smiled and said: Miss Bennett, with your figure, anything would look good on you. But this dress is special. It's a limited edition and, for the next three months, it will be the only one in Warrington. It would look amazing on someone like you.

Alicia felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.

Okay, I'll try it on.

Just as she reached the robe, a hand grabbed her before she could.

Is he really the only one in Warrington, Lilliana asked with a smug expression. I'll take it, then.

Alicia stared at Lilliana, clearly confused. He kept his tone calm.

Miss Green, I arrived first.

Lilliana's smile barely changed. I like it. I'll pay more for it.

The shop assistant froze, unsure of how to handle the tension between them.

Miss Green, we have other dresses that might fit your tastes. She could even make one to measure.

Still, Lilliana insisted that she wanted the dress that Alicia had her eye on.

In a harsh tone, she said: I told you I'm willing to pay more for it. She didn't hear me.

The saleswoman paused to glance at the men behind them. One of them was Joshua Yates and the other was Gerry Hopkins.

These men were so powerful that no one would dare try to cross them.

Meanwhile, Alicia remained silent.

Joshua looked at her briefly before saying: Mr. Hopkins, I have spoiled Lilliana. He always gets what he wants. It would be possible for Miss Bennett to choose another dress.

Lilliana smiled at Alicia, clearly feeling victorious.

Alicia's face remained unchanged.

She felt the impulse

Gerry smirked and said: Miss Bennett That's quite formal, isn't it? It hasn't been that long since you were divorced and you've already changed the way you address her.

Joshua's lips They got twisted, but he stuck to the topic at hand. It really is an unfortunate coincidence. If it's okay with you, I'll buy Miss Bennett's dress too, as Lilliana's apology.

Alicia's lips curved slightly.

How hypocritical.

She replied: First come, first served. I want this dress, and I won't settle for another.

The two men behind them remained silent. One watched with an unreadable expression, while the other looked amused, eager to see how things would develop between Alicia and Lilliana.

Not wanting to lose, Lilliana turned to the clerk. What is the price of this dress?

The clerk replied: Miss Green, it is priced at $660,000.

Lilliana scoffed. I offer a million.

After speaking, he cast a disdainful look at Alicia. Since marrying Joshua, Alicia had not received a cent from him. There was no way I could pay that.

I'll give you two million for it, Alicia countered.

Gerry's eyes lit up with excitement at her response.

Alicia nodded, smiling calmly.

Joshua's face darkened, irritated by the unnecessary competition with Lilliana.

Not willing to let herself be overcome, Lilliana raised her offer. Three million.

Alicia spoke without hesitation. Five million.

Lilliana's expression tightened. Eight million!

Alicia stopped for a moment. Her gaze briefly rested on the dress again.

Confident that she had won, Lilliana looked at the clerk and said: Pick it up. It's mine.

Alicia stepped forward and stopped Lilliana. After taking a deep breath, he spoke in a low but firm voice. I'll pay ten million for the dress.

Lilliana grimaced, unable to hide her disbelief.

Can you really afford ten million, she asked.

Alicia She bit her lip slightly before answering: But, Miss Green, I really want this dress. I'd even add another million if you let me.

Lilliana's arrogance only grew as she heard Alicia's plea, and her laughter filled the room.

With even more confidence , Lilliana rejected Alicia's offer. I will pay fifteen million. This dress will be mine.

Alicia's expression softened, her eyebrows relaxing as she smiled softly. Okay, he said, waving his hand dismissively. It's yours.

Lilliana froze.

Gerry couldn't contain his laughter any longer.

He looked at Joshua, whose expression had darkened, and He added with a grimace: Miss Green really knows how to spend.

It was foolish.

Lilliana realized too late that she had fallen into Alicia's trap.

Frustration took over her.

The dress originally cost just over six hundred thousand. Its production cost was less than one hundred thousand, and now it had to pay fifteen million. She felt like a fool.

However, her pride was more important and she couldn't back down.

Meanwhile, Alicia looked around the store and chose a light blue dress. decorated with small diamonds.

I'll take this one, he announced.

Lilliana clenched her jaw in silent frustration.

With a grim expression, Joshua told Lilliana : Next time don't be so reckless.

Lilliana responded with a pout. That bitch set me up!

Joshua frowned. Watch your words. Remember who you are.

Gerry cleared his throat and reminded Joshua: Mr. Yates, didn't you say you would cover Alicia's dress too.

Joshua's knot tightened. the throat Yes, I said it.

Alicia didn't hesitate.

She grabbed the dress and left.

Once they were in the car, Gerry couldn't help but laugh as he see Lilliana and Joshua's faces.

It's a shame Caden wasn't here to witness this. He added: You have to see what kind of person he's been spending his money on.

Determining to share the story, Gerry immediately dialed Caden's number.

He enthusiastically described the scene. with great detail. Just as he was getting into it, Caden cut him off. Do you know any porn sites?

Everyone in the car remained silent at the unexpected question. Gerry looked at Alicia, quickly turned off the speaker and whispered into the phone: Yes, why.

Caden responded bluntly: Go see them and stop calling me, you idiot. You're getting on my nerves.
