Cristofer was speechless.
“Well, let’s not talk about it. This dress is beautiful, right? I took a fancy to this floral dress at a glance just now. Help me tie the straps at the back of my neck. I can’t do it.”
“Bang!” Before she could finish her words, she heard a sudden loud bang.
“Ah!” Gretchen screamed. “Who’s next door? Why did you do that?”
In the fitting room next door, Rebecca, who had kicked heavily on the partition of the two fitting rooms, laughed happily when hearing Gretchen’s scream.
“If you two want to have sex, you can get a room in the hotel nearby,” Rebecca said bluntly.
Gretchen recognized Rebecca’s voice at once. “Are you... Rebecca?”
“Yes, it’s me!” Rebecca said as she opened the door and walked out of the fitting room.
She pulled a small sofa in the store over and pressed it against Gretchen’s fitting room door.
Then she shouted with her hands on her hips, “Come here, everybody! A couple is going to have sex in the fitting room!”
Gretchen was flustered and hurried to open the door but failed because the small sofa was pressed tightly against the door. “Rebecca, what are you doing? Open the door!”
Sitting on the small sofa leisurely, Rebecca smiled and called an entertainment reporter.
“Hello! Here is a piece of big news for you. Cristofer, the CEO of Hans International Corporation, is now having sex with a woman in the fitting room of the Chanel store on Fancy Street. Come here quickly if you want to get the scoop.”
In the fitting room, Gretchen pounded on the door crazily and shouted, “Rebecca, Open the door!”
Sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, Rebecca ignored her words and grinned from ear to ear.
After making the phone call, she clicked on the camera, switched to video recording mode, and focused the camera on the door of the fitting room behind her.
Then she deliberately said, “Why should I open the door for you? You should bear the consequence since you dare to do such a shameless thing. Tut-tut, I didn’t expect that you two would be so horny.”
Gretchen was in the fitting room and couldn’t see what Rebecca was doing, so she panicked.
“We didn’t do anything here. I’m just here to buy clothes. Don’t slander me!” She lowered her voice and growled.
“Buying clothes?” Rebecca said with a sneer. “Then why did Cristofer go into the fitting room with you? Shouldn’t he wait for you outside?”
“What will it take for you to let us out?” Gretchen asked.
“I want you to kneel down and apologize to Estelle!” Rebecca chuckled and teased her.
Hearing this, Gretchen immediately said, “No way!”
“Then you will have to stay inside. When the reporters come, they will report what you two have done, and you will hit the headlines. But I have to remind you that the news won’t have any impact on Cristofer, and he will still be the business elite in our city, but things are quite different for you. Gretchen, after Cristofer abandoned you, no one will want such a shameless bitch like you.”
“Don’t slander me! We didn’t do anything here!” Gretchen was shamed into anger and kicked the door hard.
“It’s meaningless for you to explain to me. By the way, those entertainment reporters will be very curious about you and will find out what you have done in the past soon. I’m looking forward to that day. I believe Mr. Hans is also interested in your past.”
With a darkened face, Cristofer kept silent all the time.
He had broken up with Gretchen and given her the break-up fee. And he had thought that he had gotten rid of her.
However, today, Gretchen called him and told him that he must go shopping with her if he wanted to know the truth about the car accident.
Up till now, he still hasn’t found out the truth about the car accident.
Vincent had searched all the scrapped vehicle recycling stations in Hadale but still couldn’t find the car of Cristofer's parents. And Frank said that the maintenance record of the car was lost.
And Gretchen, who was responsible for maintaining his parents’ cars, might be the only person who knew the truth about the car accident.
When Cristofer heard Gretchen’s words on the phone, he felt it was ironic.
Back then, Estelle also threatened him in the same way. Thinking about what Estelle and Gretchen had done, he felt like a puppet at their mercy.
As time passed by, more and more people gathered in the store and whispered while pointing and looking at the door of the fitting room.
Hearing the noise outside, Gretchen was furious but could do nothing about it. She glared at Cristofer and said, “Cristofer, think of a way to get out of here.”
“I can do nothing about it,” Cristofer shrugged and said carelessly.
“You... You are so clever and will find a way. I believe you. Think about it. If those reporters photograph us, they will definitely distort the fact when reporting the news! And the reputation of you and your company will be ruined. Don’t you care about your company? Are you sure you’ll just stay here and do nothing?”
Cristofer stepped back, leaned against the partition of the fitting room, and stared at her with his arms folded.
“Gretchen, what are you afraid of?” He asked in a deep voice.
“I’m not afraid. I’m just worried about you.”
“Really?” Cristofer said with a meaningful smile. “I will give the reporters a large sum of hush money to ensure that what happened today will not be in the news.”
“That’s good. Cristofer, I knew you would find a way,” Gretchen breathed a sigh of relief and said as she wanted to get closer to him.
However, Cristofer motioned her to stay away from him with a wave of his hand and continued, “But you must tell me the truth about my parents’ death now, or I won’t do anything.”
Gretchen bit her lower lip with a hesitant look and then said in a muffled voice, “It’s not the time to talk about it, Cristofer. I will tell you the truth after we get out of here.”
“You won’t,” Cristofer shook his head slightly and said firmly. “Once we leave here and you feel safe, you will not tell me the truth. Besides, you will continue to take advantage of it and force me to be at your mercy. Gretchen, tell me the truth now.”
As they talked, the noise outside became louder and louder.
Looking at the onlookers, Rebecca roared as if she was a tour guide introducing a tourist attraction, “Everyone, let me tell you what happened in the fitting room! The president of Hans International Corporation entered the fitting room with his mistress and had sex with her. They are very shameless. I’m telling the truth! I’ll open the door when the reporters come!”
