Even though Yolanda was reluctant, she went into the changing room under everyoneâs watchful eyes, changed into her dress, and handed it to the clerk. Just as she was about to leave, the clerk hurriedly ran up to her.
âWait.â A store employee hurriedly caught up, âMiss, youâve broken the zipper on your dress. And thereâs a tear on the side.â
Upon hearing this, Zachary frowned, âWhat kind of material is this? How come it breaks so easily?â
âSir, itâs because your fiancéeâs waist is a bit too thick. This skirt is designed for slender waists. Your fiancée should have felt it tight around her waist when she tried it on. She must have squeezed into itâ
Yolanda bit her lip. It was true that she had to take a few deep breaths to barely squeeze into the dress when she put it on earlier.
She just wanted to create the illusion of a slim waist, but she wasnât careful when taking off the dress, and ended up tearing it.
The clerk patiently explained, âAccording to our policy, you guys are blacklisted customers without purchasing rights. But since youâve damaged the merchandise, you will have to pay the full price, which is 1.3 million dollars for this dress. Would you like to pay by credit card or cash?â
Hearing this number, Zacharyâs mood soured. Was it that expensive?
Noticing his confusion, the clerk continued, âThis is a design personally made by our founder. The materials are topânotch, and the floral patterns on the dress hem are studded with diamonds.â
âZachary.â Yolanda did see the price when she tried on the dress. She thought she could use this opportunity to squeeze some money out of Zachary, but she didnât expect.
Whispers began to spread among the onlookers.
âNo ordinary tailor can fix that tear.â
âSo they spent 1.3 million dollars on an unwearable dress.â
âTheyâre blacklisted customers. Even if they bought it, they canât wear it, right? Otherwise, QY could sue them.â
âWhat a selfâinflicted mess.â
The murmurs reached Zacharyâs ears, making his face even grimmer.
Just then, Olga, who had heard the news and rushed over, saw her daughter and future sonâinâlaw surrounded by a crowd. She hurriedly pushed through the crowd and pointed at Arabella, âYoli, is this woman bullying you again? Iâll teach her a lesson.â
With that, Olga lunged at Arabella.
Earlier on the phone, Yolanda had told her that Arabella had humiliated her in public. Olga and her husband happened to be nearby, so they rushed over at once. Before Olga could land a slap on Arabellaâs face, her wrist was caught by Arabella.
With a light flick, Arabella threw Olga to the side, crashing into a mirror on a pillar.
âMom, are you okay?â Yolanda rushed to her aid, while shooting Arabella a glare.
âArabella!!â Zachary shouted, then quickly went over to help. âAre you okay? Where did you get hurt?â
âThis mirror is worth ten thousand dollars. You should be thankful it didnât break.â
Hearing Arabellaâs casual remark, Attlee in the crowd was fuming, âArabella! How could you be so rude? Have you forgotten all the manners the Murphy family taught you over the years? You clerks, why arenât you showing her the door? What are you standing around for!â
Show the boss the door? Sorry, they didnât have the guts for that.
At this moment, Jaime, the person in charge of QY, arrived. He heard from his subordinates that there was a problem at the QY counter and the clerks were bullying the customers.
Although he found it hard to believe, he was nearby so he decided to check it out himself.
Upon seeing him, Attlee sighed in relief, âMr. Jaime, youâre just in time. I heard,â
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Jaime hurriedly walking towards Arabella, bowing respectfully, âBoss, what happened?â
Boss?
