Chapter 600
Even After Death
Everyone was discussing among themselves.
âI didnât expect Mrs. Miller to be so kind to a fault. Should offending janitors be released without
punishment just because theyâre from marginalized groups?â
âIf I go out and hit a Rolls-Royce tomorrow, Iâll just say that Iâm poor so that I can be let off the hook. Is
this how things work now?â
âIf Mrs. Miller is so rich, she can just pay the measly 500 thousand for him. She doesnât have to trouble
a minor celebrity with her superior sense of morals.â
âI know, right? When they were on the stage just now, I thought that she and Mr. Miller were a perfect
match. But now, it looks like sheâs not that special at all. Money doesnât grow on trees even for us
celebrities.â
âThe dress was difficult to borrow, and now, itâs ruined because of the water. Compensating for it is one
thing, but sheâll also be blacklisted after ruining it. The loss isnât something that can be solved through
words alone.â
âEven a million dollars isnât enough to compensate, let alone 500 thousand. Mara was quite kind to
have asked for that sum.â
Hearing the discussion, the janitor spoke urgently, âMiss, please donât concern yourself with me. Iâll just
pay for the compensation.â
Mara Hudson was even more arrogant now.
âYou hear that? I wonât blame you for not knowing the value of things, but thereâs a limit to how kind you
can be. If youâre not paying for him, you should shut up.â
Olivia smiled. âSure. I can pay 50 dollars for the cleaning fee.â
âGoodness, is Mr. Miller going bankrupt? Why is his wife so stingy? She refuses to pay even a measly
500 thousand dollars.â
âDoes Mr. Miller know how stingy she is? I wonder what he likes about her.â
Olivia said leisurely, âCalm down, everyone. If this dress is the real deal, I can pay five million dollars
for it, let alone 500 thousand dollars. But the point is, this is a counterfeit product.
â500 thousand dollars is enough for someone to work a lifetime for. Why should the janitor pay that sum
of money for no good reason?â
âA counterfeit? That canât be, right? The feel of the fabric indicates that itâs from a major brand.â
âI can only say that itâs a good counterfeit product, but at the end of the day, itâs still a fake.â
Seeing her insistence, Mara was even madder now. âWhat do you know about these things? What
proof do you have to say that my dress is a counterfeit product?â
Placing her hands behind her back, Olivia said calmly, âProof? The proof is that the real dress is in my
house right now. This dress is the only one of its kind. How could there be another dress in existence?â
As soon as Olivia said that, the gossiping crowd suddenly fell silent.
They could suspect anyone else, but Olivia was Mrs. Miller, after all.
Ethan could move an entire mall for her as long as she wanted it, let alone buy her an expensive dress.
Their opinions changed in an instant.
They realized that they had insulted the wrong person.
No one would expect a celebrity to threaten someone with a counterfeit product in public. After all, as
soon as she was exposed, she would be done for.
As soon as Mara heard that, she panicked. She had used the same tactic to earn quite a lot in a short
amount of time.
She specifically chose common laborers who were poor and without status. They wouldnât know much
about brands, and even if they were at a disadvantage, they wouldnât dare to expose her.
She had repeated the same tactic today, but she didnât expect to run into trouble.
Things were getting out of hand. Mara didnât want this incident to spell the end of her entertainment
career.
At her witâs end, she insisted that her dress was the real deal.
âWho do you think you are? Do you know how difficult it is to buy dresses made by Niko? You donât
know what youâre talking
about!â
A cold voice rang out from among the crowd. âSheâs my wife, and I was the one who bought the dress
for her. Do you have a problem with that?â
The crowd stepped aside to clear a path. Ethan appeared with a dark look on his face.
Mara didnât know Olivia. But she had seen this man who often appeared in the financial and economic
section. âY-Youâre⦠Mr. Miller?â
