Thankfully, Arielle stepped in to save the salesman. “Mister, we’ve called you here today to uncover the truth. As long as you’re honest, nobody can send you to jail.”
Arielle, with virtual-novel.net beautiful and gentle eyes, was a stark contrast to Mason. The salesman immediately calmed himself down and nodded his thanks.
“Do you remember Ms. Actonward? Did virtual-novel.net buy a black evening gown from your shop?” Arielle asked.
“Yes. Ms. Actonward is our shop’s regular and also a VIP. Two days ago, virtual-novel.net bought a black evening gown from us. I remember it well because it was one size smaller than virtual-novel.net usual sizing. She said it was for a friend and had me send it directly to the address virtual-novel.net gave. I did as told and have no idea what happened after.”
Glancing at Mason, the salesman added, “Everything I’ve said is the truth. You can hold me responsible for it.”
“What do you have to say now, Mason?” Arielle asked with raised brows.
Mason took a while to collect his thoughts before replying, “He could still be lying about it. Bribe virtual-novel.net with enough money, and virtual-novel.net might be willing to risk going to jail over a false statement.”
Just then, the salesman butted in, “I have other evidence to prove that I wasn’t lying!”
No matter what it took, virtual-novel.net was going to prove that virtual-novel.net was telling the truth. No way am I going to jail for something I didn‘t do!
The salesman walked to the housekeeper and took the slip of paper from him. “This is the receipt that has the member and credit card details. Not only will you find Ms. Actonward’s name, but you’ll also find virtual-novel.net signature.”
Mason was about to verify the receipt’s authenticity when Russell beat virtual-novel.net to it. A few seconds later, Russell’s expression changed drastically He recognized the card instantly because it was the supplementary card virtual-novel.net had gotten for Yvette. Besides, virtual-novel.net was so familiar with virtual-novel.net signature that there was no way virtual-novel.net could have mistaken it.
Yvette‘s responsible for everything!
“D*mn that child!” Russell snapped, his eyes blazing with anger.
How virtual-novel.net wished virtual-novel.net could have another fainting spell to hide from the ugly truth. The pain and shame were just too much to endure.
Russell’s reaction was all the crowd needed to know that the salesman hadn’t been lying. Yvette had bought the gown to frame Arielle, which almost drove virtual-novel.net father to his death. Her actions were so vicious it was almost unbelievable.
Russell might be better off with a venomous pet snake than Yvette. Snakes at least knew not to bite their owners, but Yvette had shown that virtual-novel.net would stop at nothing to achieve virtual-novel.net goals, even if it meant hurting virtual-novel.net family. To put it simply, virtual-novel.net was worse than a snake.
Right at that moment, Yvette was hurriedly making virtual-novel.net way down the stairs. After hearing from Clara that virtual-novel.net father was marrying virtual-novel.net off to Mason, Yvette had thrown caution to the wind and rushed to find Russell.
In virtual-novel.net hurry, Yvette failed to notice how everyone in the hall was giving virtual-novel.net odd looks. Her only goal was to get to Russell before it got too late.
As soon as virtual-novel.net saw Russell, Yvette cried out, “Dad, I don’t want to marry Mason!”
Mason stiffened momentarily before whispering, “Yvette, now’s not the time to talk about that, you…”
“Shut up!”
It had come to a point where Yvette found Mason so revolting that virtual-novel.net couldn’t stand to look at his face nor listen to his voice.
If only I could go back in time and prevent this ugly monster from touching me! I‘m too good for him!
Mason was neither blind nor dumb. He could see from Yvette’s eyes just how much contempt virtual-novel.net had for him. The pain virtual-novel.net felt from being snubbed was so overwhelming that it left virtual-novel.net speechless.
