Chapter 27
Regardless, none of them would admit it.
“Thank you,” Cordy flashed a tender smile at Richard before turning to Mandy. “Pay up.”
Mandy’s cheeks were alternating in color
Cordy had actually put it on! How?!
“A bet’s a bet. What, going to renege on it already?” Cordy sneered
Mandy’s teeth were gnashing–she just had to make the bet in front of so many people.
She could not afford to humiliate herself by reneging!
“How much for the gown?” she growled.
“It’s 1.3 million dollars, Ms. Jessop,” a store assistant replied.
“What?!” Mandy thought she was hearing things.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netMost designer brands would cost a few hundred grand at most, but that gown cost 1.3 million?!
“The dress was completely handmade in Franconia, and every part of the design was made to
specifications. The 500 diamonds encrusted on it were in turn sewn by hand by our best tailor,” the store
assistant explained, while showing her the invoice. “The pricing was also charged according to official
rates. Please take a look, Ms. Jessop.”
Mandy’s face was green–she would never have bought herself a dress so expensive, let alone buy it for
Cordy for free!
Wheeling on Cordy, she demanded, “Where did you get the money for such an expensive gown?!”
Cordy had expected the gown to be expensive, but not cost over a million dollars!
Still, she remained composed as she said. “That’s my business. You just have to keep your promise to
pay for it, and I’ll pack it up and leave.”
Mandy’s eyes turned red–not even her bank account had that much money!
Even if she did earn a lot from showbiz and her family would always give her more, she never developed
the habit of saving up. In fact, she had a little over a hundred grand at best!
But she would rather die than admit that she could not afford something Cordy could.
“Take my card, Kyle suddenly said.
Mandy was left stunned, while Noel was clearly agitated. “Kyle, that’s not a small sum…
“I’ll just consider it damages for our breakup. Cordy, I hope you won’t harass Noel and my sister ever
again,” Kyle said righteously.
Cordy simply sneered. “Mandy lost that bet, but if you want to call it damages, why don’t you pay for
Dicky’s tailcoat as well?”
“You’re despicable!” Mandy snapped.
“I’m just learning from your ilk,” Cordy retorted.
“What?” Mandy was dumbstruck, unable to come up with anything.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netNaturally, both Kyle and Noel were glowering as well.
Cordy simply ignored them, and turned to Richard with a gentle smile. “Let’s get changed now, Dicky.”
“Okay” Richard nodded tamely
Kyle had paid for everything by the time they changed out of their clothes, since he could not bring
shame to his family!
“Thank you…” Cordy said as she carried her bag of astronomically expensive clothes, while deliberately
adding, “Ms. Jessop.”
Mandy was shaking with rage, glaring at Cordy as if she could murder her right then!
Not only did she not get any dress that she liked, but she was also body–shamed and lost over a million
dollars for nothing!
But she would not take this ignominy lying down!
