The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 27:

Gerry brought Alicia in at the last minute to help her pick out a dress.

She was not familiar with high-end events and felt unsure about what to choose, so she relied entirely on the shop assistant's suggestions.

Finally, they chose a snow-white mermaid dress, decorated with silver threads, as pure as freshly fallen snow.

The shop assistant smiled and said, “Miss Bennett, with your figure, anything would look good on you. But this dress is special. It is a limited edition and for the next three months it will be the only one in Warrington. “It would look amazing on someone like you.”

Alice felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.

"Okay, I'll try it on."

Just as she reached for the robe, a hand grabbed it before she could.

“Is he really the only one in Warrington?” Lilliana asked with a smug expression. “I’ll take him, then.”

Alicia stared at Lilliana, clearly confused. She kept her tone calm.

"Miss Green, I got here first."

Lilliana's smile barely changed. “I like it. “I’ll pay more for it.”

The saleswoman froze, unsure of how to handle the tension between them.

"Miss Green, we have other dresses that might suit your taste. I could even make one for you."

Still, Lilliana insisted that she wanted the dress Alicia had her eye on.

In a harsh tone, she said to him: "I told you that I am willing to pay more for it. Did you not hear me?"

The shop assistant paused to glance at the men behind them. One of them was Joshua Yates and the other Gerry Hopkins.

These men were so powerful that no one would dare try to cross them.

Meanwhile, Alice remained silent.

Joshua looked at her briefly before saying, "Mr. Hopkins, I have spoiled Lilliana. She always gets what she wants. Would it be possible for Miss Bennett to choose another dress?"
