Aggresive Wife Chapter 84

“What do you think of this one, James?”

Elise kept up her friendly facade when she suddenly heard Suzette’s voice.

It was cloyingly sweet. She nearly threw up in her mouth.

“Yes! This one is not bad! You have a good figure. Anything would look good on you.”

James Lowe was giving Suzette loving looks.

Suzette had fair skin and was also sultry with her looks. Despite her age, she maintained herself well.

She was middle-aged but still retained her graceful bearing—exactly his type.

“Such a glib tongue at your age.”

She shyly retorted.

Her temperament immediately changed when she turned to Elise. She spat out with great arrogance, “What are you staring at? Are you going to take it down for me to try it on?”

Elise was disgusted by her pretentiousness.

The promise of money was what made her suck in a breath and endure it. She responded with a sweet smile and nimbly fetched the gown as she began to mentally calculate the price.

Ten minutes later.

Suzette walked out of the dressing room in her heels.

The sight had Jame’s eyes light up in surprise.

“We’ll take it!”

James genuinely loved her and was more than willing to spend on her. There was no hesitation as he handed Elise his card.

“Certainly. I’ll be right back with you.”

“You’re very considerate, sir. You are truly blessed, ma’am!”

Elise received the card with both hands and flashed Suzette a meaningful smile.

The elder woman could sense the hidden meaning in Elise’s eyes and felt awkward.

“He treats me well.”

Suzette felt guilty but she couldn’t admit that James was not her legal husband.

After all, it’d be ridiculous for others to find out that she had brought her lover out shopping. She’d be a laughing stock.

She had no choice but to respond with a half-hearted smile.

James seemed taken aback by Elise’s words but was happy to see Suzette not refuting it.

The money spent was all worth it!

He would, however, soon find that he wouldn’t be able to keep smiling.

“I’m sorry, sir. Your bank balance is insufficient.”

Elise returned the card to Suzette with a mocking smile.

“Insufficient? How is that possible? I have more than 100,000 on that card. Is that not enough for a dress?”

His eyes widened in shock at her words.

“I’m sorry, sir but the dress is 300,000. It’s also the latest style. There’s no discount.”

“T-Three hundred? This is daylight robbery!”

“Isn’t it just a stupid dress? How can it be worth so much money?!”

James never thought a mere dress could cost 300,000 and was furiously gesticulating at Elise.

“Our store clearly marks our prices. We’re not trying to deceive you.”

“If our prices are not to your liking, you’re free to shop elsewhere, sir.”

Elise wasn’t the least bit annoyed. She was politely smiling as she “kindly” helped Suzette out of the dress.

Suzette had not gotten a new dress ever since the Grant family had fallen from grace.

How could she let go when she finally had someone willing to spend on her?

She hastily hugged herself to prevent Elise from coming close.

“James, this dress is made with materials of the finest quality. This design and tailoring are also top-notch. 300,000 is indeed pricey but I really do like this one…”

She carefully approached him with eyes filled with longing for the garment.
