Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 604 Not Murder, But Revenge

All the young woman could do at this point was shift the blame to Yelena.

Yelena raised an eyebrow. "Is that not because of your poor manners? You stomped on the dress, yet you pinned the blame on me."

Deep down, Hank smirked. As expected, Yelena had been hanging around him for so long that she knew how to logically analyze a situation.

Now, he no longer had to worry that she would be pushed around by others.

Celine was not a fool either. She could not keep her calm after hearing the young woman twist the story using some weird rationale. "If that is the case, you are no longer welcome in my store, Miss."

Stunned, the young woman awkwardly nodded.

Yelena could not resist adding fuel to the fire. "Remember to pay the store for the dress you ruined."

The young woman shot Yelena a harsh glare. "That is none of your concern!"

She then handed her card to the sales associate. Once payment was made, she slunk out of the store with the tattered dress in her arms.

Yelena waited until the door closed behind the woman before turning to thank Celine with a smile on her face.

To her surprise, when Celine saw her face, she exclaimed in surprise and joy, "It's you! I'm not wrong, am I? You are Yelena Sullivan, right? I've seen you on television."

"That's me," Yelena replied, scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.

"I adore your shows. You are a great actress. You're also very beautiful and as adorable as a button."

Celine then caved into her maternal urges to ruffle Yelena's hair.

Yelena was embarrassed. She had not expected Celine to know who she was.

"I even asked Elspeth to get me your autograph," Celine said.

Yelena was astonished to hear Elspeth's name.
