Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 271

nor would she make anyone despise her.She remained elegant most of the time, except when she cursed in foul language.“Therefore, the dress is more suitable for Yelena in comparison.”Although the Sullivan Family kept a low profile, they were extremely powerful. It was a wonder why Emma was so untactful by offending Yelena repeatedly.Yelena was pleased that her friend was standing up for her by humiliating Emma. She’s such a good friend!Emma was exasperated as she pointed at the staff member and asked angrily, “Who do you think will suit the dress better?”“I think Miss Sullivan will look better in the dress… Before their arrival, Mr. Winthrop placed a deposit of several million with us.”A smile formed on Elspeth’s face. Callum proved to be helpful when they needed a hand. He’s done a great job.“How dare you?! All of you have joined forces to oppress me. I’ll share this incident with the media and expose your wrongdoings to the public!”When Elspeth heard that, she almost broke into laughter.“You’re free to do so, but there’s not a need for that.”Emma thought that Elspeth was timid, so she lifted her chin arrogantly. “If you’re afraid of getting your wrongdoings exposed, be more tactful and give the dress to me.”“That’s not what I meant and I’m not afraid. I just want to let you know that I’m the designer of this dress, so I can stop it from getting sold at any moment.”The smile on Emma’s face froze when she heard that.“What did you just say? Are you the designer?”Although she was stunned, she couldn’t deny the possibility as Elspeth had done many surprising things in the past.“Yes. I’m the designer of this dress. Why would I lie to you?”In fact, it was one of Elspeth’s worst designs. The best dresses were all in the underground exhibition hall of the Azure Corporation’s headquarters, but no one would put them on.That was because Elspeth had designed those dresses based on her figure, so rarely anyone could put them on.“If you’re the designer, you could’ve told me sooner. Why did you wait until now? Are you lying again?” Emma clicked her tongue.Elspeth’s gaze turned gloomy in an instant.“Miss, please ask your boss to come over,” Elspeth said to the staff member with a smile.This store’s customers are mostly wealthy and powerful. Did Elspeth really design this dress?Emma started doubting herself again. However, since she had said such things, it was too late for her to run away.As such, she had no choice but to wait for the business owner’s arrival.Soon, a flamboyant-looking man stepped into the place. His azure eyes and maroon hair suggested that he was from a foreign country.“My dear Elspeth, what brings you to my store? Oh, my gosh! Are you getting married? I have to tell the world about it. Good grief! That’s such terrible news!”Elspeth said through gritted teeth, “Harvey, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll throw you out of here.”“Alright, alright. I’ll stop pulling your leg.” Harvey adjusted his hair elegantly. “Are you here to pick out a wedding dress? I have some new designs—” “There’s no need for that. I asked you to come over because I want you to clarify something.” Elspeth smiled. “Did I tell you to sell this dress on my behalf?”Harvey took a closer look at the dress and nodded. “Yes, it’s this dress. I have to tell you that many people are interested in this dress, but I’m not selling it to anyone because I’m waiting for a buyer who can offer a higher price.”Emma’s heart sank when she realized that the duo knew each other. Since it was confirmed that Elspeth was indeed the designer, there was no way she could get the dress.All the same, she didn’t want the dress; she just loved snatching things from Elspeth.Following that, she took a deep breath and turned around to leave.“Wait a minute. Didn’t you say you wanted to buy this dress?” Elspeth blinked, appearing to be doubtful.“You can get the dress. I don’t want it anymore.”Harvey frowned. “What’s wrong? You said you’d buy it but now, you don’t want it anymore. Where do you think my store is? You don’t have to buy it, but please register your name before leaving. Don’t ever come to my store again.”He practically stripped Emma of her right to enter the store again.Yelena covered her mouth and snickered. “You’re making the store owner mad, Miss Walker. Why don’t you just buy it?”She wanted to buy this dress as well, but Elspeth had signaled for her to give it up just now.“How dare you?!” Emma was so furious that she started trembling all over.She had just been suspended from work, so she had lost her only income. If she had to spend so much money to buy a dress she didn’t like, that would be utterly vexing.It’s all Elspeth’s fault!She glared at Elspeth and passed a card to the staff member.“I’ll buy it.”After trying to swipe the card, the staff member said hesitantly, “Miss Walker, there isn’t enough credit limit left.”Emma started flushing at that point. “I don’t want it anymore!”She then snatched the card and stormed out of the store.Yelena had the urge to roll on the floor and laugh out loud. “That’s hilarious! I’m so glad to see Emma living miserably.”She was pleased that Emma was in a sorry state.Emma loved oppressing us in the past. She had it coming!Elspeth touched her chin. “Your dresses here are not up to standard, Harvey.”Harvey widened his eyes in disbelief. “What are you talking about? There’s no way my dresses are comparable to yours.”He got to know Elspeth by chance and obtained the right to sell the wedding dresses she designed. There was no denying he had gotten a lot of benefits but now, Elspeth mocked him by saying that his dresses were not up to standard.It’s not like there’s anything I can do about it!“Alright, just pretend that I’ve said nothing. We’re leaving now.”With that, Elspeth took Yelena’s hand and left the place.Yelena asked doubtfully, “Aren’t we here to buy wedding dresses? I think the store’s wedding dresses are of good quality, especially the
