Female Novel
Chapter 64
Morwenna had no clue what a bitch was like, but what she did know was that Adelaide wascertainly making a scene.
Adelaide snapped, "Aren't you going to apologize? They're just spoiled and uncouth because oftheir upbringing. That's no reason to resort to violence."
"Don't listen to her excuses, Adelaide. Call the police. We need to call the police," another voicechimed in.
“The bruises on me are proof enough. I'm pressing charges!”
Adelaide, dressed in an extravagant gown and flawless makeup, sternly instructed the boutiqueassistant, “Please, call the police.”
Morwenna stood there in her worn clothes and bare face, a stark contrast to the opulence aroundher.
The discerning eyes of SY Boutique’s assistant could immediately tell the rich from the poor. Thedifference between these two women was glaringly obvious.
"Right away, Ms. Gallagher. We’ll handle it," the assistant complied promptly, satisfying Adelaide.
Traditionally, Adelaide attended the private gatherings with Stuart alone.
This time, Stuart had unexpectedly decided to bring Morwenna along.
With two dates, Stuart would make Adelaide the laughingstock of the event. She couldn’t let thathappen.
Originally, Adelaide had orchestrated a confrontation to mar Morwenna’s appearance or at least gether hair cut, ensuring she couldn’t attend the gala. Who knew her minions would be soincompetent?
But now, it didn't matter.
If Morwenna got arrested, she wouldn’t make it to the event anyway.
Adelaide hadn’t lifted a finger herself. Others had instigated the fight, and others were calling thepolice.
Even if Stuart found out later, he wouldn’t blame her.
Adelaide smiled smugly, satisfied with her machinations.
Just then, the store manager rushed over, scanned the group of women, and his gaze settled onMorwenna.
“Are you Ms. Winslet?” she asked with a bright and welcoming smile.
Morwenna nodded solemnly, “Yes, that’s me. I admit I hit someone, but it was in self-defense.”
The manager nodded seriously, almost bowing slightly, “Yes, I’ve reviewed the surveillance footage.Ms. Winslet was indeed acting in self-defense.”
Surprised, Morwenna wasn’t used to someone from Rosefrost Hollow siding with her.
Adelaide and her companions were stunned.
Turning to the other two women, the manager politely inquired, “Are you sure you want to presscharges? The surveillance clearly recorded the sequence of events. Your actions constitutedeliberate harm, which is punishable by law.”
The two women looked dumbfounded, turning to Adelaide for cues.novelbin
Adelaide’s face darkened.
She knew these store managers and assistants usually kept out of customer disputes. What washappening today?
The woman who had been hit, seeing Adelaide silent, gritted her teeth and said, “Actually, youknow, this whole thing is just a mix-up.”
The manager smiled.
Morwenna was astonished. Could things turn out this way?
The manager no longer paid any mind to the others, turning to Morwenna with a smile, “Ms.Winslet, your gown has been prepared. Shall I take you to the second floor to get dressed?”
The second floor was SY Boutique’s VIP section. Ordinary people couldn’t even step foot there,regardless of their wealth.
Clearly, this was Stuart’s doing.
Adelaide changed her expression and couldn’t help but ask, “What about me?”
The manager replied politely, “I’m sorry, but we have no arrangements noted for Ms. Gallagher.”
With that, the manager led Morwenna upstairs.
Adelaide couldn’t hold back her anger any longer.
