Chapter 172
“Wait, there are a few items that haven’t been paid for.”
“I’m only taking this one,” Kimberly said in confusion.
“These items were damaged after you tried them on.” With that, the manager presented three dresses in front of everyone.
One had pearls ripped off, and the others started falling as well. However, someone intentionally hid the damage by bundling the dress together.
Another dress had a torn waist, an evident result of force.
The last one was missing a diamond, with no way to find it now.
With the evidence laid out, the manager spoke sternly, “I warned you earlier. Our fabrics and jewelry are precious, but you insisted on trying them on. Moreover, you promised to compensate for any damages at the full price. After calculating, it’s a total of 23,512 dollars. We will round it down to twenty–three thousand for you.”
Hearing the amount, Kimberly and her companions were dumbfounded.
Their colleagues were so frightened that their voices trembled.
“It… It wasn’t us trying them on. We knew this place was expensive, so we deliberately chose dresses without any embroidery or jewelry.”
“Yes, yes. These two were the ones who tried them on.” The colleagues pointed at Kimberly and Millie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMillie turned pale and was unable to utter a word.
Not wanting to be embarrassed in public, Kimberly glanced at her colleagues and pointed to the dress missing a diamond. “I tried this one. Maybe I wasn’t careful enough. It’s just a dress, so I can afford it.”
“Alright, please swipe your card again for six thousand dollars. We’ll have our staff check the fitting room for the missing diamond. If it can be repaired, our company will do so free of charge.” The manager maintained a polite smile.
“Okay.” Kimberly nodded and reluctantly handed over her credit card. She had thought that such a small diamond missing wouldn’t be noticed, but the staff was thorough.
However, Millie wasn’t as fortunate.
Even with Kimberly’s dress taken off the bill, she still owed over ten thousand.

She had only used her credit card to buy seven–thousand–dollar decorations for Jackson.
She couldn’t possibly have that much money.
She gritted her teeth. “These dresses are just too fragile. What does it have to do with me?”
“Miss, our staff already warned you that the fabric is delicate and that you shouldn’t try it on. Yet you insisted on trying them on, which leads us to this situation. We’ve always been transparent about our pricing, and no one has ever complained about the quality of our clothes.”
Regardless of the prices of the dress, everyone knew that you shouldn’t forcefully try them on. However, when Millie tried on these two dresses, she did so with force.
It was her insistence that led to this situation.
“Just wait for my boyfriend to deal with you.” She picked up her phone to call Jackson, but he didn’t answer.
Finally starting to panic, she looked at Kimberly. “Kimberly, can you lendsmoney? I’ll have Jackson pay you back.”
At this moment, a staff member interrupted, “Ms. Watson, I’m sorry, but card has been declined.”
Kimberly paled. “That’s impossible! I…”
Then, she remembered her uncle’s warning. If she spent recklessly again, he would stop her card.
The manager looked at them. “Who is going to pay, then?”
Millie glanced at the other two colleagues with resignation. “Can you two…”
“Millie, you know how much we make. We don’t have the money.”
“Yeah, my mom just called and toldto go home, so I’ll be leaving now.”
With that, the two found excuses to leave.
Millie stood still, drenched in sweat.

“Aurelia, the clothes are here. Let’s go.” Linda’s voice brought her back to reality.
Aurelia looked away and nodded. “Sure.”
With that, she left through the side door linking arms with Linda.
Chapter 172
Millie was an adult and she needed to be responsible for her own actions.
At night, Aurelia found out how the matter was settled by other colleagues. Kimberly and Millie were not allowed to leave until they paid.
No one knew where they got the money.
Someone in the group chat had a relative working for Kimberly’s uncle, and they mentioned that his business was already under the impact of what Kimberly did. Hence, her uncle would say that he was not close with Kimberly whenever her nwas brought up.
Just as everyone started to doubt if Kimberly was truly a wealthy young lady as she claimed, Kimberly spoke up.
“Those who are coming to join our meal, remember to come. Just tell the waiter my boyfriend’s name when you arrive.”
“Oh, by the way, this is my boyfriend’s business card.”
The card belonged to Howard Carn from Sunlit Legal Agency.
Aurelia was instantly confused.
