His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 49 Fight in the Shop

The man said those words flatly, but his voice was familiar to Autumn.

Autumn was surprised and stood still with a straight back. She didn't even dare turn her head around to

look at him.

Yvonne and the salesgirl turned their heads to see who the man was. Wendy also did the same and

when she saw him, she was surprised first and then sneered.

The man, with dark skin, wore a set of ETRO business suit. He looked like a well-dressed gentleman.

He had a pair of bright piercing eyes and a calm expression glimmered in them. He also had a

handsome, straight face, which made him look more aggressive.

Yvonne became jealous of Autumn again. She wondered how Autumn was so lucky to be helped by

others whenever she got into trouble.

"Who are you?" Yvonne asked the man discontentedly. She believed that Autumn must be a bad

woman who always hooked up with other men. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many men who were

willing to try their best to help her.

"The evidence is here. And all of us present here are the witnesses." Yvonne got the people around

involved in this matter and they all began to echo her words.

"Right. We saw that this lady tore the dress."

People always did things like these. They never saw things happening, but insisted on saying that they

saw what happened.

Perhaps this was why the false rumours or messages were so easy to spread.

The man behind them got close to them and said to the woman who just spoke,"Did you personally see

this lady tear the clothes?"

Before the woman got a chance to say anything, the man continued saying,"Think twice before you tell

me anything. If you give false evidence, you will be liable for what you say."

"I..." The woman looked embarrassed and said with hesitation,"I didn't see it personally, but... they all

saw what happened here. Since they say it is this lady's fault, I believe it to be true."

"So you mean to say that you didn't see it yourself." The man sneered and continued,"Does any one of

you dare to admit that you personally saw the lady tear the clothes?"

The people around went silent. They didn't dare to speak anything because they feared that they might

be held liable for their words.

The sales clerk began to get anxious as she realised that the situation was no longer in her favour.

"Before I gave her this dress, it was in perfectly fine condition, but when I got it back, I found it to be

torn. I would never damage it. And if she didn't damage it, who else did it?"

The salesgirl began to cry and said,"I don't have enough money to pay for this dress. It is costlier than

my one month's salary. You can't bully me just because there are so many people on your side."

'This salesgirl is very good at gaining sympathy. She just now oppressed me by gathering the crowd, '

thought Autumn.

She frowned and didn't want others to help her get rid of the predicament, so she calmly walked up to

the salesgirl and said,"It's not your fault for being a needy person, but you can't pretend to be a weak

one only to seek pity from others. We all should be honest in our lives. Do you think you can remain

guilt free all your life after you shift the blame to me? "

"Don't sling mud at me here." The salesgirl cried and said,"You damaged this dress. It has nothing to

do with me."

"Then we can call the police." Autumn could afford the clothes, but she thought that she shouldn't give

in to such a bad behaviour. If she paid for the clothes today, the salesgirl might do other unreasonable

things in the future.

The salesgirl got anxious and upset the moment she heard that Autumn wanted to call the police. Since

the whole thing happened under a security camera, the police would surely figure out that she told a lie.

She didn't want to call the police and Yvonne too was reluctant to do that.

"Just let it go please..." Yvonne smilingly walked to them and tried to settle an argument between them.

"It's just a small thing. You don't have to call the police. I can help you pay for the clothes and you don't

have to return the money to me. It is not easy for a young girl to earn money by working here. We

should not put her in a fix. And we should be kind to others whenever possible."

Yvonne pretended to be generous just to make others believe that Autumn damaged the clothes.

Of course, Autumn wouldn't allow Yvonne to do that.

"Don't pretend to be a nice person here. I won't admit it since I haven't done anything. Why are you so

anxious to help me pay for the clothes?" said Autumn ironically.

"I don't have any hidden agenda. I just think that since it is such a petty thing, there's no need to call

the police." Yvonne sneered.

"I won't admit it because I haven't done it. Let's call the police. After the police checks the surveillance

video, we can very well figure out who damaged the clothes." Autumn insisted on calling the police,

and the people present began to doubt the salesgirl now.

The man who spoke earlier said,"You don't have to call the police. We can watch the surveillance video

now."

The man whispered something to his assistant who was standing behind him. After a short while, the

manager of the shop came to the spot.

She gathered her courage and stood in front of the man. She already scolded that salesgirl several

times in her head since the salesgirl had displeased such an important person. "Mr. Lin, why didn't you

inform me before coming..."

"Why do I have to inform you when I come for inspection?" Mr. Lin glanced at the shop manager,

looking very furious.

The manager realised that she made an imprudent remark, so she immediately explained,"No. I didn't

mean that. I mean that if you had informed me in advance, I would have asked someone to receive you

and give you good company."

"No, thanks." Mr. Lin said coldly,"Go and get the surveillance video."

"Well..." The manager hesitated. The salesgirl who did this wrong thing was actually her niece.

Although Mr. Lin was here, she had to protect her niece. "Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry. The surveillance camera

of this shop has been out of order for a few days. I haven't had a chance to hire people to repair it, so

I..."

Mr. Lin slightly frowned but Yvonne grinned while standing there. She said,"It doesn't matter. After all, it

is just one dress. I can help the lady pay for it."

When Yvonne was about to take out her money, Chris suddenly appeared and grasped Yvonne's hand.

"You don't have to pay for it. If my sister-in-law likes this shop, my brother will buy the entire shop for

her."

When he heard the word 'sister-in-law', Mr. Lin slightly clenched his fists.

He wondered whether Autumn got married when he lived abroad these years.

"Chris, why are you here?" Autumn was surprised to see Chris in the shop. Chris was supposed to go

for a job interview today. But she was here now.

"I will tell you what happened after dealing with this matter." Chris sneered and pushed Yvonne away.

She then said to the manager,"Miss Yi, you know me, right?"

"Yeah, Miss Lu, you are our regular customer. I know you, of course," said the manager obsequiously.

Mr. Lin has just been transferred back from abroad and wasn't familiar with the domestic affairs of the

company. The manager boldly said those words to Mr. Lin earlier because she believed that Mr. Lin

would support her and wouldn't blame her in front of a stranger.

But she didn't expect Chris to come there.

She couldn't dare to offend Chris as she had a powerful brother.
