Isabella, by her nature, was not inclined to rashly leap into situations where she might end up playing the role of

a hero, especially if it could lead to her own humiliation. Wouldn't that turn into a rather ironic situation?

Before she decided to take any action, Isabella turned to Alexander in a subdued voice and queried, "Are you the

boss of this entire mall?"

Alexander, visibly caught off guard by the question, responded with a hesitant, "Yes."

Isabella pressed on, "So, does that mean | have free reign here?"

Alexander gave a vague affirmation. "More or less."

Her next question was bold. "Should | go ahead and take that dress?"

It seemed Alexander had an inkling about what Isabella was contemplating. Without hesitation, he grabbed his

phone and swiftly sent a message to his assistant.

In truth, Alexanders under the impression that if Isabella didn't make her move quickly, the

couple lingering behind him might lose their patience. It was hard to fault them, as everyone in his family had a

notoriously warm heart.

When Isabella suddenly burst out shouting, even Alexander could sense the palpable sigh of resignation from

those behind him. The onlookers ahead, startled by her outburst, turned around, their faces marked with

disbelief as if they hadn't expected someone to emerge. Jessica, observing Isabella's somewhat

confused demeanor, couldn't immediately grasp the reason behind it. Her realization dawned only when she saw

Evian, the compassionate hospital director who had been a comforting presence during her solitary hospital

stays, now smiling and waving in the distance. It o Despite the slight embarrassment of being seen in such an

unkempt state by people she knew, Jessica understood that they were present to lend their support.

Jennie, on the other hand, was perplexed as she observed Isabella, uncertain of her intentions. Does she know

Jessica? Is she here to help her?

"Are they your friends, Jessica?" Jennie asked tentatively.

Jessica responded with a straightforward, "I don't know them," leaving Jennie momentarily speechless as she

turned back to Isabella.

Upon closer inspection, Jennie was struck by a sudden recognition, although all online photos of Isabella were

heavily styled professional model shots which made her look quite different in her natural, makeup-free state.

Presently, she looked exceptionally vibrant and youthful, more akin to a lively university campus belle rather

than the celebrities she resembled in her professional photographs.

Jennie was also surprised by the man accompanying Isabella. His striking appearance and composed demeanor,

his eyes reflecting the deep, glossy sheen of black opal, conveyed a sense of aloofness and pride. It was a rarity

for Jennie to encounter someone with such a While it was not unusual for Jennie to see beautiful people, it was

rare to encounter someone who combined exceptional charisma with stunning looks. Even William, a famous

actor, would likely seem quite ordinary in comparison.

Jennie, ever attentive to detail, noted the sophisticated attire of the duo before her, which suggested their

wealth or high status. Nevertheless, this did not justify Isabella's attempt to claim the dress she had reserved.

"Miss. I've already reserved this dress," Jennie declared.

Unfazed, Isabella countered with a confident smile, "No payment has been made; how can it be considered sold?

I believe this dress suitsbetter.

Jennie's face tightened, her unease growing as she found Isabella's words eerily reminiscent of a previous

conversation she had had with Jessica. "I've made my decision, and | can afford it. Miss, you're a bit late." Jennie

retorted, not waiting for a response as she turned to Before the saleswoman could react, a directive was

transmitted through the earpieces of all the sales associates present. The saleswoman, about to finalize the

transaction, suddenly altered her expression and returned the supplementary card to Jennie. Jennie, visibly

confused and upset, demanded, "What do you mean by this?"

The saleswoman, maintaining a professional demeanor, explained apologetically, "I'm sorry, but this dress is no

longer for sale as per our store manager's directive." To make amends, she offered, "To apologize, we can offer

you a ten percent discount on any other item." "Are you refusing to sell it to me? You prefer to sell it to her?"

Jennie pointed at Isabella in disbelief.

At that moment, Isabella stepped forward, presenting the exclusive membership card that Alexander had

previously handed to her.

The saleswoman's eyes widened upon seeing the card, a rare top-tier membership card. "Would you like this

dress, Miss?" she asked Isabella.

Isabella nodded affirmatively.

"No problem, would you like to try it on?" the saleswoman responded eagerly.

"Hey! Wait, what on earth is this-"Jennie exclaimed, completely taken aback.

The saleswoman clarified. "This is our store's VVIP membership card, granting access to all items. not publicly

available for sale. I'm sorry, Ms. Woods, but even Mr. Sawyer's main card wouldn't suffice, let alone the

supplementary card which holds even less privilege." Chapter 63 Men Like Him Should Be Buried

This revelation caused Jennie's

face to redden with embarrassment. Knowing that any further argument would be pointless, she felt utterly

powerless and overwhelmed by the situation. In the end, all she could muster was a resentful glance at Isabella

Evian, but as she looked around, Evian was nowhere to be seen. Left with no other option, she simply nodded

toward the unfamiliar Isabella and Alexander, acknowledging their act of kindness with gratitude. After Jessica

had departed, Isabella made plans to try on the clothes.

"Are you sure about this one? Do you like it?" Alexander inquired, seeking Isabella's confirmation. Alexander,

suspecting that Isabella was merely attempting to provoke him, doubted that she genuinely liked the attire. With

its numerous straps, he assumed it would be cumb to wear.

"I do like it," Isabella asserted, surprising Alexander by revealing a change in her preferences. Every t| think

Alexander, realizing her motive, mused to himself, So, this is the kind of affection you had in mind.

A scoff escaped her lips, tinged with sarcasm. "Heh... So she rattedout already? William, if not for this

incident, | doubt you would've bothered to call or make yourself reachable, right?"

On the other end, the voice maintained its cold tone. "Jessica, it appears you still haven't taken the tto

"Reflect on what, exactly? On deeds | never committed, or on why you all have chosen to tarnish my reputation?

"I don't even recognize you anymore, William. Since you've brought it up, fine, let's get a divorce," Jessica's voice

was soft, heavy with weariness.

There was a pause from William this time. "I'm serious, Jessica. I'm not joking."

"So was I," she replied firmly.

William's voice grew impatient, and he took a deep breath. "How long do you intend to keep this up, Jessica?

Turning her head, Jessica saw Evian offering a strained, awkward smile.

It turned out Evian and her mother, Selena, had been lingering just around the corner of the shop, debating

whether to follow the two people they had been tracking or to simply mind their own affairs. Consequently, they

stumbled upon Jessica as she was on the phone. The Seeing the pain etched across Jessica's face, Evian found

herself at a loss for words. "Con, I'll take you to the hospital," Evian said, her voice gentle but firm.

As evening descended and it was tfor them to head back, Isabella and Alexander had only managed to

collect Selena and Callahan. They learned then that Evian had escorted Jessica to the hospital. Bursting
