Chapter 731

Mia gave a meaningful smile. “Why the overreaction, Ms. Maynard? Didn’t you say you don’t care

about the brand? It’s just a dress.”

Luna was exasperated. She did say that, but she borrowed the dress from someone else. Should the

dress become ruined, she wouldn’t have the

means to compensate for it.

“You ruined the dress, so you should compensate for it,” she barked, couldn’t care less about her

image anymore.

“But you splashed water at me on purpose.” Mia spun and left, not wanting to waste time with Luna.

Luna thought that she could play tricks now that they were in Bern City. However, if the other party

didn’t uphold moral values, moral values couldn’t guilt trip Mia either.

Mia headed outside. The crowd had dispersed.

Excitement carried Shelly to her. “Ms. Monalize, I managed to buy the latest outfit and bag!”

“That bag doesn’t suit you. It’s for elderly rich women.”

“You don’t get it. I’m going to be a purchasing agent. I’m going to sell it and rake money from it.”

Realizing that she had put her foot in her mouth, she added, “We can split the profit in half.”

“No, keep it. This is a gift for you.”

Shelly interlocked her arms with Mia’s. “That’s so nice of you, Ms. Monalize! Timothy will be so lucky if

he becomes your husband!”

There was an awkward shift on Mia’s face as she withdrew her arm. “As long as you’re happy. This is

not a huge sum of money to me.”

Once everything was over, she wouldn’t need to keep up with this act with Shelly anymore.

“Ms. Monalize, are you going to walk away just like that after ruining someone’s dress?”

Mia looked back. Luma lifted her dress, striding over. The people around her retreated to save their

outfits from getting dirty.

Luna looked awful from head to toe. Still, she was determined to demand compensation from Monalize.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences!

Mia looked up and down at Luna, whose guts were beyond Mia’s.

expectations.

Shelly stepped forward first. “Think before you speak, Luna Maynard. You dirtied your own dress, and

what does Monalize have to do with this? Are you trying to find a scapegoat because you can’t

compensate for it? You borrowed the dress to stoke

your ego

in the first place.”

Luna gulped. “It was an accident. Besides, tap water is clean. It’s a hundred times cleaner than the

water from a mop bucket!”

“Sorry, but as a neat freak, I think neither makes any difference; they’re equally dirty.”

“Nonsense! Anyway, everyone heard it. You admitted that you’ve ruined my dress. Pay for it. I don’t

need an apology,” Luna boldly demanded.

Pride wasn’t the problem right now. She would be doomed if Mia didn’t pay

her.

Shelly mocked, “You’re blinded by money, Luna Maynard. No one here. would demand compensation

because of such a trivial matter. How embarrassing.”

Luna chewed her lips. “Rich people like you wouldn’t, but this is important

to people like me.”

“If the dress is over your budget, you shouldn’t have worn it. Look at you. Now that there’s trouble, you

can’t pay for it. What’s the use of being materialistic and egoistic when you can’t even handle the

consequences?”
