Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 554

Arwen had no plans of buying matching outfits. But when she actually saw the outfits, she didn't find the idea that bad.

The designs were classy and comfortable, and they didn't look too cringe or bad.

"Ma'am, did you like anything among these?" the store assistant asked when she saw Arwen staring at the outfits in contemplation.

Arwen hummed, but she didn't immediately select. She smiled at the store assistant and said, "I did like a few of them, but I will wait for my husband. We will decide on them together."

The store assistant nodded in understanding. "Then, Ma'am, you can take a seat till he returns. I will ask someone to get you coffee."

She smiled and then walked away for a moment.

Just then, Emily walked there with her troop.

"Oh, we meet again, Arwen," she said, her tone carrying the arrogance. "Surely, it's a fateful coincidence. Don't you think?"

Arwen had just opened her phone to scroll through her feed when she heard the familiar voice. Although she recognized it at once, she hoped that she had recognized it wrong.

However, her hope only shattered when she glanced up and found that she wasn't hearing wrong. Emily was standing there in person.

"I would pause for a few more minutes before naming this anything," she replied with a tight smile while letting her gaze flick to the two minions standing behind her.

Emily scoffed, feeling triumphant inside. "Oh, Arwen, you can't hold that bitterness inside. After all, we have been sisters anyway. This new bond between us is meant to increase our closeness, not the distance."

The last time she mentioned it; the news wasn't very sure. So, when Arwen had threatened her, she had gotten scared of losing to her.

But today, the stars were on her side, and Catrin had announced adopting her publicly. Now, no matter what Arwen says, no one could change the change in her title that's going to happen very soon.

Arwen didn't want to step into the same mud, but knowing Emily well, she knew she had no quick escape. Sighing in heart, she shook her head at her bad luck. "Aren't you here to shop?" she stated the obvious before gesturing her towards the line of clothing hung for showcase. "Please don't hold yourself back for me."

She left home to enjoy the day out today, not to get herself caught in the regular mess. So, she tried to distance herself from it even if it comes at her expense.

Getting back to her phone, she simply went back to scroll through her feed.

However, Emily didn't see it like that. To her, Arwen's words felt demeaning. Like she was looking down upon her. Humiliating her.

Clenching her fingers, she watched Arwen ignore her. Her blood boiled inside, and in that moment, she decided to stake all if that could make Arwen feel the same humiliation, she had made her feel every time.

"I have decided." Turning to the store assistant, she announced before pointing a finger out at Arwen to add, "I want everything that she has selected. Wrap it for me."

Arwen blinked. Although she had no intention of putting her ear to their business, she was sitting too close to ignore their talk.
