Chapter 409 Had She Been Deceived?
As Marion and Cassie walked outside Giverny, the glass display windows of the store allowed them to see the situation inside the shop. Cassie’s reminder prompted Marion to instinctively glance inside.
Regina and Cady were holding the dresses Lucas had ordered for her. However, as the dresses had been reserved, they were not for sale. It was evident that the staff was currently discussing the matter with Regina and Cady. They were not pleased.
Marion arched an eyebrow as she recalled the unpleasant treatment she experienced earlier. Without anyarging from Cassie, she decided on petty vengeance.
“How convenient. I’ll go in and try it on,” Marion declared.
Cassie gave Marion a thumbs–up before they both reentered the store. This time, Cassie remained silent, allowing Marion to take the lead. Marion glanced at Regina, who was now visibly upset, then shifted her gaze leisurely to the store manager.
“Excuse me, it seems that dress is actually the one I ordered,” Marion said calmly.
It was technically her husband’s order, but she did not see the need to explain it at the moment. It seemed better to just assert herself.
Marion’s statement caught everyone off guard. Cady could not believe it. “You seem to be making a very peculiar joke.”
However, the store manager responded swiftly, “Miss Marion?”
Marion smiled and nodded, her round eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief. “Yes, that’s me.”
The store manager was shocked and quickly explained to Regina, “Miss Regina, I’m so sorry, but this dress was actually ordered by Miss Marion. We were planning to deliver it to her home tomorrow, but it was brought out today for ironing and hadn’t been put away yet.”
Regina’s face instantly fell, and she impulsively tossed aside the dress she was holding. “How unlucky!” Then she grabbed her bag from the chair and turned to Cady. “Let’s go!”
It truly was really a bad day out for Regina!
Marion watched as the dress fell to the floor and furrowed her brows. She looked at Regina and said leisurely, “Wait a moment, Miss Regina. If you like this dress so much, I can give it to you. After all, I’ve ordered three of them, so I don’t really need this one.”
Cassie caught onto Marion’s implication. She quickly added, “You toss custom–made dresses just like that. Who knows what could have happened to it when treated like so? But then again since you’re so wealthy, surely you can afford to compensate us for just this dress, right?”
Regina was about to retort with ‘I wouldn’t even want such an ugly dress‘ but Cassie’s words stopped her in her tracks. She was on the verge of accusing Marion and Cassie of trying to bully her out of buying the dress but Marion just smiled at her. “It’s okay, let’s just consider it a gift from me to you.‘
Then Marion remained silent and smiled warmly at Regina.
In that innocent smile, there was a hint of mockery. Regina felt like she had been slapped in the face and it infuriated her to the core. “I don’t need your gift! Whatever the price of the dress is, I’ll pay for it!”
Marion bit her lip and appeared distressed as she addressed the store manager. “Well, if that’s the case, could you please pack the dress for Miss Regina?”
