âThat bridal boutique right there,â Alana said. âWeâll go there and teach her a lesson.â
âWait!â Alondra said, âJust the two of us wonât be enough. Have you forgotten that sheâs a pretty good fighter?â
âWhat do you mean, Auntie?â Alana seemed to be afraid of Emmelineâs skills.
âIâll make a few calls,â Alondra said. âIf I can get Mrs. Serge, Mrs. Plummer, Mrs. Kingsley and the others here, they can bombard her with insults. That should be enough to make her suffer!â
âThatâs a good idea!â Alana said. âGet them here quickly before Emmeline leaves.â
Smirking, Alondra made a few calls to her friends.
In ten minutes, a group of five wealthy ladies met up with Alondra excitedly.
They were experts at gossip and bickering!
Alana briefly explained to them what happened, thinking that her aunt made the right choice.
âDonât show any mercy to her. Make her wish she was never born! I wonât skimp on your payment,â she said.
âLeave it to us!â The ladies said confidently. âWeâll be looking forward to payment!â
âNo problem!â Alana grinned smugly.
The wealthy ladies swaggered noisily into the bridal boutique, elutching their handbags.
Emmeline was in the middle of choosing a gown Before she knew it, she was surrounded by a group of middle-aged women in flamboyant makeup.
The women looked like they were looking for trouble, and they wasted no time in insulting Emmeline.
âIsnât she the b*tch driven out of the Louise family? Tsk, it must be our unlucky day!â
âThatâs right. I want to ask if the manager welcomes b*tches in this boutique. If he does, Iâll have to take my business elsewhere!â
âYouâre a walking disaster, Emmeline Louise. Nothing good happens wherever you go!â
âWatch your mouths! I donât even know you!â Emmeline said.
âBut we know who you are. The entire Struyria knows youâre a shameless flirt!â
âYou broke up Mr. Ryker and Ms. Lane. To think that Ms. Lane is already pregnant, too! You canât get any more shameless than that!â
âStop with your nonsense!â
Emmeline was pale with anger. âIs it my fault Alana isnât loved?â
âYes, itâs all your fault, and youâd better admit it!â
âSo sheâs Emmeline Louise, the current trending topic on the Internet?â The sales clerk said. âI was wondering why she looks so familiar!â
âThatâs her in the flesh!â One of the women said. âTell your boss not to sell her anything. Otherwise, weâll be taking our business elsewhere!â
âNo, please donât!â The sales clerk exclaimed. âWe value your business!â
The sales clerk snatched the gown in Emmelineâs hands and ran to the office in the back to get her superior.
When the manager received the news, he hastily ran to Emmeline.
âSo youâre Emmeline Louise! Arenât you ashamed of yourself? I donât want your business. I canât afford to offend these big spenders just to sell you one discounted gown!â
âHow could you?â Emmeline said angrily. âItâs not like Iâm not paying!â
âA discounted gown isnât worth that much anyway!â The manager said. âIâll lose more money if I sell you that gown, so Iâd rather not sell it to you!â
âThatâs right!â The women laughed smugly. âIf you kick this b*tch out of your boutique, weâll buy a gown each!â
âBut⦠we donât carry your sizes,â the manager said.
âYou accept custom orders, right?â The women said excitedly, âWeâll order one each as soon as this b*tch is out on the street!â
âDeal!â
The manager turned to speak to Emmeline coldly, âYou heard that? If you still have any dignity in you, youâd better get lost!â
âHahaha!â The women doubled over with laughter.
Alana and Alondra were delighted as they witnessed the scene from outside.
âFine!â Emmeline took a deep breath and picked up her handbag. âIâll leave, but before I do, I want to know who did I lose to today?â
