Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 897



Victoria had only wanted Elaine to apologize and compensate for the damage so that the matter would come to an end quickly. However, Elaine's attitude was really irritating!

When Victoria thought of Trevor's words, she was in a somewhat difficult position.

If she continued to pursue this matter, would she mess things up? But if she did not pursue it, what would the others think of her? Would she be able to continue her business in the future?

After all, her studio was not of mass production. It took her a lot of effort to create this market!

Meanwhile, Elaine was equally upset. In that instant, both of them went silent. Looking at the dress in her hand, she suddenly thought of the only limited-edition custom-made red dress. Immediately, she became a little more confident. She raised her chin unconsciously and spoke with resolution.

"Isn't it just a piece of clothing? How much is it? I'll buy it."

Elaine rolled her eyes and pretended to be arrogant. She thought in her heart, "Who does she think she is? I will make her suffer next time!" Victoria didn't like her arrogant tone very much, and she was also a stubborn person.

As she slowly lost her temper, Victoria smiled slightly and replied, "If that's the case, it is much appreciated!" Taking out her phone, she started to calculate.

After fiddling with it a few times, she lifted her phone and showed it to Elaine. "Since it's damaged, both of us are responsible for it. I'll give you a 20% discount, it will be 240,000 dollars! Are you going to pay with your card or bank transfer?"

"What?"

With a scream, Elaine's face turned green in an instant.

"Are you robbing me? It's only a piece of damaged clothing with no brand. Yet, you want me to pay 240,000 dollars? Are you kidding me? Shouldn't you look at yourself before trying to cheat me?"

"Miss Bt, you've seen a lot of clothes, so I assume you would know the value of things once you look at them. This is made from natural silk, a hand-made embroidery, and it took three months to finish by hand. How much do you think it cost? The price is 200,000 dollars, and the liquidated damage is 50%, so it's 300,000 dollars! You ruined my dress, and I still have to pay for the liquidated damage. I'll give you a 20% discount, and you'll have to pay for the rest. Now that I have the evidence, do you still want to deny it?"

Then, Victoria thought of something and added, "Oh, by the way, there seem to be surveillance cameras in the outer room."

What she meant was that whoever damaged the dress could be caught easily.

Elaine argued, "The dress was left here, so how do you expect me to know who it belongs to? You were the one who left it here. Why should I be the one paying? Don't you even dream about it?"

Victoria scoffed. "You should know where exactly the dress was left. Are you trying to say that the box, the business card on it and the logo are all fake? Or is your last name Claire? Do you still want to deny that fact that you've damaged other people's items without permission?"

As the two of them quarreled, the people around them started backing out and did not dare to interrupt. Standing at the door, an assistant was so scared that she did not even enter the door. She turned around and fled in a hurry. She then bumped into Holger in the corridor.

"Why are you in such a panic?" hearing his angry voice, the assistant was startled even more and almost fell to her knees on the spot. She picked up the scattered items in a hurry and explained the situation in the room.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Crouch!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Miss Bt and Mrs. Clements! May just came out from the room and told us that we'd better take a detour and don't go in for the time being. But I have to get a set of props, so I'm going downstairs to the storeroom..."

She didn't want to get involved in the trouble. Rumors had it that Elaine's boss was Mr. Clements. At this time, no one wanted to be involved. Anything might happen if they continue to watch the fuss!

In fact, she sympathized with those onlookers who were caught in the fight. It seemed that they were in a dilemma now.

With a slight frown, Holger waved his hand and said, "I got it. Get to work!"

After dismissing the assistant, he vaguely heard the commotion coming from the corridor. He moved but then stopped himself and took out his phone instead.

In the room, Victoria was very unwilling to let Elaine off the hook. "Not a single dollar less! If you're not afraid of making a fuss, then we'll meet

in court!"

She had worked so hard for a few months for the design. She was also a victim. Why should she pay for it?

"You? Are you threatening me?"

Elaine was so angry that her nostrils flared, but she didn't dare to hit her. There was nothing she could do. With so many people watching, there was no turning back. After a while, she took out a bank card and threw it on Victoria's face in anger.

"I bet you haven't seen this much money in your life. Take this. 240,000 dollars is yours. Keep the change if you want!"

Although Elaine said so with ease, her heart throbbed in pain.

There was a sharp sting on her cheek as the card hit her, but Victoria reached out to catch the bank card anyway. On the back of the card was the password, which indicated that it should be a favor from someone. Victoria rubbed her stinging cheek and looked at the slight scarlet on her hand She frowned, and then finally decided to end things here.

As soon as she looked up, an indifferent voice came from behind. "What are you doing?"

Victoria's body went stiff as she heard the voice. People started giving way to the man and slightly leaned to one side. Seeing that

Trevor had actually appeared b

her, Victoria looked down and

grasped the bank card tightly. She could not help but secretly gasp in surprise.

She thought, "What bad luck. Why did he come at this time? If he arrived a minute later, things would have been solved!"

"I'm so done! I just got my revenge. Is he going to let me submit to this woman just for his plan to succeed?"

After Victoria thought for a while, Trevor came over. He glanced around and saw the obvious bloodstain on Victoria's grazed cheek. His eyes darkened instantly and he exuded an intimidating aura.

"What's going on?"

The pressure in his demanding voice was like a mountain pressing down on them. Everyone held their breath at the same time. A moment later, the assistant behind Elaine took a step forward and explained the situation.

Inca

"It... it's all my fault, Mr. Clements. Mrs. Clement's left the dress on the counter and accidentally gave it to Miss Bt. Mrs. Clements got angry and asked Miss Bt to ryand apologize and pay 240,000 dollars as compensation. It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

She said so as she intended to make things seem as if they were not that serious. She was speaking for Elaine and made it sound as if Victoria was being unreasonable and taking advantage of her status to bully people.

Hearing that, Victoria was angry. "It's not like that at all..."

As soon as she spoke, her voice was covered by Trevor's scolding, "Since you're at fault, pack up your things and get out of here! If you're an employee that would only cause trouble, why should I keep you?"

After that, Trevor looked around and uttered angrily, "Whoever doesn't know their place will have to get out of here! Why are you all still standing here? Are you all waiting for me to invite you to a tea party?"

The next second, everyone scattered like birds. Meanwhile, Elaine's face was also deathly pale and her eyes were filled with disbelief. Trevor put one hand on Victoria's shoulder, and his tone softened a little as he said, "Let's go!"
