Chapter 445
Hearing this, and seeing the new SK outfit Alma was wearing, the salesperson quickly apologized and led her to the high–end clothing area.
There were very few customers there, as each piece of clothing was priced at least two million dollars.
Unlike the ordinary clothes from before, every piece here was so luxurious it was hard to look away.
Alma glanced casually but was immediately drawn to a beautiful backless dress. She had it taken off the mannequin and tried it on herself, then paid for it promptly. The whole process was incredibly swift, and it was as if she was not swiping money but just a string of numbers.
“Alma, with this dress and those expensive jewelry pieces from your collection, you’ll definitely be the center of attention tonight.” said the long–haired girl cheerfully Alma gave a cold laugh. Was that even a question?
“I heard your uncle’s daughter who grew up in a small town just moved to Summerfield. Even if you don’t dress up tonight, your aura will definitely outshine hers.” Alma had no interest in the girl, but the fact that Serena was not a biological daughter of the Collins family made her very happy.
Outside Dawn Department Store.
After being kicked out, the three members of the Attlee Murphy family didn’t leave immediately. Instead, they hid behind the garden, hoping to see someone exiting
the store.
It was midsummer, and the outdoor temperature had reached 39 degrees. Yolanda was feeling extremely hot and couldn’t help asking, “Dad, Mom, how long do we have to wait here?”
“Just a bit longer, sweetheart,” Attlee responded, keeping his eyes on the exit. “Bella is a straight–A student, a piano master, the founder of QY, and she has deep ties with the Collins family’s clothing company. She might know the executives of the Collins family’s company. That Molly, the one who won first place in the design competition, seems to be on good terms with her. And Dylan from Allbara Investment, he’s been extra courteous to her.”
Attlee recalled the last time when Allbara Investment suddenly pulled out and refused to cooperate with the Murphy family. He visited Dylan for dinner to seek understanding, only to find out Dylan had gone to meet someone important.
He witnessed in person how Dylan behaved toward Arabella with a great deal of respect in the restaurant’s private room. There was even a hint of humility and flattery in his demeanor.
“The store manager also mentioned earlier that QY is McMilian Corporation’s most important partner. What does that tell us? That Bella knows people from McMilian Corporation. Remember when we witnessed her picking up Phillip McMillian from the hospital? All this suggests she has an extensive network, more than we could have imagined. Our Murphy family’s salvation is at hand.”
Attlee made a vow in his heart to use whatever means necessary to get her help to save the Murphy family.
“She cares about Grace the most, doesn’t she? If we run out of options, we’ll just stop giving Grace her medicine and threaten her with that.” Olga suggested while fanning herself in the sweltering heat. She felt like she was about to faint from the sun. They had been waiting for half an hour already, how much longer did they have to wait?
“You don’t understand Bella at all. She’ll respond to gentle persuasion, not to threats. The more you threaten her, the more she’ll resist,” Attlee finally understood why the Murphy family had been in such an unlucky state since Arabella left them.
Turned out that Arabella was indeed the Murphy family’s lucky charm.
Meanwhile, Yolanda was feeling very bitter. Just now, Zachary spent 1.3 million dollars, all of which ended up in that disgusting Arabella’s hands. It made her angry just thinking about it.
What was worse was that she loved QY so much, and it turned out all the designs were by Arabella, which was unbearable.
Why?
Why did Arabella have so many talents?
Why did she keep a low profile before and suddenly show off now?
Yolanda couldn’t figure it out, so she just let it go..
