Janet Hunt, the assistant beside Michelle, spoke up immediately.
"Please get your facts straight. We were walking normally. You're the ones who weren't watching where you were going and ran into us!"
She turned to Michelle with concern and asked, "Michelle, are you okay?"
Michelle glanced down at her brand-new shoes and shook her head. "It's nothing."
Irene instantly bristled. "What kind of attitude is that? Even if we were coming toward you, couldn't you have moved out of the way?"
Michelle and Janet were both rendered speechless by her logic.
Wendy snapped angrily, "You stepped on Irene's shoes! They're from LeVinci! She spent several months' salary on them. Can you even afford to compensate her?"
What a coincidence—another LeVinci.
Michelle was a designer. Runway pieces from top luxury brands were always sent to her first, and as a Landon family heiress, she'd been surrounded by luxury since childhood.
With just one glance, she could tell Irene's LeVinci shoes were from a past season—probably on discount by now.
Michelle looked at Irene calmly. "They're leather shoes. Stepping on them just now didn't cause any damage. Just wipe them clean when you get home."
Irene looked at Michelle. She had always taken pride in her looks, but the moment her eyes met Michelle's breathtaking face, she froze.
She suddenly felt dull and insignificant standing next to Michelle.
Her gaze drifted to Michelle's dress. Although she couldn't afford luxury brands herself, she loved studying them. Michelle was wearing a Chanel runway piece.
The expensive dress hugged her slender waist perfectly. Her features were cool and striking, her skin fair and luminous—the kind of refined glow that came from being carefully raised and well cared for. She practically shone just standing there.
Meanwhile, Irene's outfit looked like a patchwork of mismatched pieces. In front of a true beauty and an heiress, she simply couldn't compare.
Jealousy flared instantly in Irene's heart. Between women, hostility could stem from something as simple as that.
She lifted her chin arrogantly. "You stepped on my shoes today. You have to compensate me."
Janet scoffed. "What are you talking about? You want us to pay? You've really got some nerve."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
