Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 54
“Let’s hurry in, Fia. There are too many people here. I’m worried that other people might recognize me.”
Eileen took out the mall’s VIP card so that the staff could take a look at it before pulling Fia into the mall. The moment they went in, they saw Maxwell Corporation’s giant signboard.
Eileen let out a “tsk” next to her ear. “This place really is the biggest mall in Gryphon. The renovation was so lavish. Your man is quite the big spender.”
“Should I find another mall?”
“There’s no need to change. We’re here to shop! We’re not committing a crime! Not to mention that the security here is quite tight. It’s safer for me too.”
“Sure.”
Eileen hid the fact that she knew Esme would be here beforehand.
Before she picked Fia up, her boss had given her a call. She had heard Conrad and Esme’s voices and so she asked what they were doing.
Her boss said that he was shopping with his good friend and his girlfriend.
She did something so that her boss and Conrad would be away. If she was right, Esme was shopping alone right now.
When Fia saw Eileen call the elevator and press the button for the top floor, she asked curiously, “Aren’t we going to shop floor by floor?”
“Let’s go directly to the top. The most expensive stuff is on the top floor.”
Fia frowned. “It must be very expensive on the top floor, huh?”
“Several hundred thousand of dollars, but it’s just small change to him!” Eileen said with a smile. “Don’t worry. Conrad owns the entire mall. The money you spend will go into his account anyway!”
Fia felt more comfortable after giving it some more thought.
Once the elevator stopped on the top floor and the elevator door opened, two ushers with very good figures stood by the side.
“Welcome.”
Eileen then led Fia to the front. They had only visited two shops when they saw Esme sitting in her
wheelchair.
She was shocked. “Fia, how did she end up in a wheelchair?”
“She tried to kill herself and injured herself when she jumped from the second floor.”
“Suicide? She’s just using it to buy others‘ pity, isn’t she?!” Eileen led Fia directly toward Esme.
“Oh, what a coincidence, you faker.”
Eileen was very aggressive the moment she opened her mouth.
Esme’s expression froze. She couldn’t stand the woman standing next to Fia. She was a great debater
and had no lack of wit.
“You’re here to shop too, huh? Fia?”
She chose to ignore Eileen and concentrated on Fia.
Fia merely smiled but she didn’t want to speak to her at all.
Esme smiled and said in front of the saleswoman saying, “I thought your mom is fighting terminal cancer. Why aren’t you taking care of her and shopping here instead?
“It’s not that I’m trying to force you to do anything. I’m just worried. She’s going to need a lot of money for her treatment. You aren’t working and don’t even have the money for the treatment. Why are you here shopping in such luxury shops?
“Fia… You can’t do something that is bad for you just because things are going tough. We’re family! You can tell me if you’re having a hard time. I’ll help you!”
After what Esme had said, the saleswoman began to look at Fia with contempt.
She looked pretty but wasn’t working… She had to be someone’s mistress.
“Ha, not only are you the one wanting to wreck a family and seduce someone else’s husband, you’re even accusing her of the deed?” Eileen countered. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“Stop making things up! You don’t even dare to remove your mask. It must be because you don’t dare to show your face to society at large, am I right?” Esme glared at Eileen and laid a trap for her.
Eileen let out a laugh. “Ha! I don’t dare to face society because I’m wearing a mask?”
Esme pressed the issue and said, “Why don’t you remove your mask, then?”
Eileen said, “If I remove my mask, will you acknowledge yourself as a homewrecker?”
“Enough with the lies. You don’t even dare to remove your mask!” Esme was sure that Eileen wouldn’t dare to remove her mask because of her identity.
Fia tugged at Eileen and muttered, “Don’t get angry with her. If you showed your face here and attracted all your fans, it won’t be good for you.”
“It’s fine.” Eileen patted Fia’s hand and blinked at her.
“I’ll have to teach you a lesson or two for that, phony. Your ego is getting too big for your own good.”
