Chapter 36
Bethany felt that it was only right that Noah and Ella got a taste of their own medicine. Walking away without a ring was exactly what they deserved.
Noah’s expression turned icy. “Believe it or not, but I can buy this whole store tomorrow.”
But no matter how he threatened the sales assistant, all he got in return were the same three words. “We’re very sorry.”
In the end, Noah and Ella were kicked out.
Noah’s expression darkened even more when he looked around and realized that Bethany was gone.
He immediately called Arthur. Only after hearing Arthur’s reply did he realize that Brennan Group owned the mall. It turned out that Silas was behind this.
Noah shot the mall manager a cold look. “Tell Mr. Brennan that I’ll remember this.”
The manager smiled awkwardly. Noah’s threat didn’t faze him. After all, he was just an employee doing his job.
Bethany hadn’t gone far when a strong hand yanked her into an elevator. She screamed at once.
Just as she was about to struggle, she caught sight of the sharp, defined face before her. “You’re…”
Silas scoffed. “Are you a tree? Someone bullies you, and you don’t even know how to run?”
Bethany snapped back to her senses. “That guy just now works for you?”
It was no wonder the mall manager showed up at the perfect moment to cause trouble for Ella and Noah.
If she had called the police, she would have wasted time arguing things out.
“Duh?” Silas snorted. “Next time you run into idiots like that, just kick them in the guts. Don’t worry. If anything breaks, I’ll pay for it.”
Bethany chuckled at his words. “Okay.”
“Well, since you’re free, let’s go try on wedding dresses,” Silas suggested.
“Now?” Bethany was stunned.
Silas raised an eyebrow. “Since we’re having a wedding, the wedding photos have to happen too. My dad wanted to set up a destination shoot, but I turned it down. Or would you rather take his suggestion?”
Bethany shook her head so fast it rattled like a drum. She could tell that Jeremy was desperate to push their relationship
forward.
However, she and Silas didn’t have that kind of bond. A destination shoot would be painfully awkward. And Jeremy would probably book just one room for them.
If that happened, Bethany might as well slam her head into a wall.
She immediately put on a flattering smile. “Your call. Let’s go.”
Silas drove, winding through narrow streets until they stopped in front of an unremarkable shop.
Bethany looked up at the sign. It was a bridal boutique.
Inside, most of the dresses were surprisingly elegant. She glanced casually and spotted a few styles she liked.
At the very back, a man who looked like the owner lounged in a chair. “Babe, you’re finally here.”

That single word made Bethany break out in goosebumps.
Was this guy another one of Silas‘ boyfriends? The man had gray–dyed hair and looked fairly old.
“Mr. Brennan, this must be your bride,” he said. “Come on, babe, follow me. I’m Jerry Carlson, the owner here, and a wedding dress designer.
“Babe, over here. Let me show you my best work. It took me two whole months to finish. If Mr. Brennan hadn’t begged
Silas cut him off coldly. “Do you ever shut up?”
Jerry and Bethany immediately went silent.
“Get your female staff to help her try on the dress. And drop that disgusting address. She’s my wife. Not your babe.”
