Chapter 281 Chapter 281 Seeing everyone speculating, Elle had a smug expression on her face, occasionally exchanging glances with Sheryl while doing so. Sheryl glanced at Alice from the corner of her eye, not knowing exactly what triggered her memory. Suddenly, Sheryl elongated her voice and spoke in a somewhat innocent tone, “Elle, it seems like we have upset someone. Should we apologize?” Upon hearing this, Elle sneered, “Apologize to who? We came here openly to collect the gowns. Who did we offend? Is it not allowed for us to come and get the gowns here?” The consultant on the side hurriedly approached, trying to please. “Where did that come from? We would be delighted if Miss Elle could borrow the entire store. The consultant glanced around as she spoke and seemed to understand something. She asked tentatively, “Miss Elle, are you unhappy because someone said something that made you uncomfortable?“ Sheryl tugged at Elle’s sleeve, signaling her to mention Alice. Hence, Elle’s gaze turned towards Alice and said in a deep voice, “It was the rude girl over there. She said a bunch of offensive things. I feel very uncomfortable and I do not want to see her here right now.” When the consultant heard this, her expression changed drastically. She looked at Alice with a flinty stare. “This Sanceland brand has such a huge international influence. We definitely cannot just accept any artist’s request. Otherwise, people might think that we are a low-tier brand, not up to the standard,” Sheryl said. Sheryl took the opportunity to remind the consultant. After hearing Sheryl’s words, the consultant’s expression became even worse.
Originally, Sheryl’s people had informed them in advance that they could not lend any gowns to Alice. The consultant thought that Alice would leave if she chased Candice away and spoke harshly to Alice.
But now that Alice was still around, the situation was not that good. Thus, the consultant said to the security guard beside her, “Frank, bring a few people and kick that woman out.” “Are we really going to do this? She is an artist,” Frank said, a little apprehensive. “What about being an artist? If she is not popular, she is as good as dead! And did you not see that Miss Elle does not like Alice? Miss Elle is that person’s favorite. We cannot afford to offend her,” the consultant said. “Well, fine then.” The security guard named Frank had no choice but to come to Alice’s side. Seeing that Alice was just waiting for someone, Frank also did not want to get physical. He spoke with a friendly attitude, “Miss, I am truly sorry, but could you please leave for now? Sanceland does not welcome you.” Candice, who had come over with coffee, was instantly furious when she heard this. “What do you mean? It is fine if you go back on your word and do not lend us a gown, but now you want to chase us away? Your Sanceland brand is impressive!” As soon as Candice finished speaking, Elle shook her head and burst into laughter. “There is a reason why Alice is not popular. Just look at her assistant, who seems like a bandit. How embarrassing. Sheryl nodded in agreement. “So what if someone supports Alice? If she lacks the necessary qualities, she will not have a chance to become popular.” “If I were them, I would have gotten out of here right now. I would not embarrass myself here,” Elle continued saying. Meanwhile, in Alice’s apartment. Rachel enlarged the chat content and patiently explained it to everyone. “Alice has a big event in three days, and she needs to wear a gown. Her assistant, Candice, queued up to borrow a gown from Sanceland six months ago,” Rachel explained.
“But now, some clueless people, self-proclaimed as the boss of Sanceland, want to claim the gown Alice likes for themselves. They even bullied Alice’s assistant,” Rachel continued saying. “My people were originally meant to handle this, but since Daniel wants to court his wife, I will let him have this privilege. After all, Sanceland is our Kaur family’s brand. As the boss, Daniel can do whatever he wants,” Rachel finished her talk. 1/3 15:49 Chapter 281 Seeing Alice leaving in a hurry, Rachel discreetly sent her a message to inquire and then learned about these matters. Rachel originally intended to solve the issue for Alice herself, but she did not expect her brother, Daniel, to suddenly become enlightened. No matter what, her brother could still be saved, so Rachel gave Daniel some useful information. Rachel asked, “Do you need me to teach you what to do next?” Daniel’s expression turned cold as he nodded and said, “Thank you, Rachel.” With that, Daniel picked up his phone and made a call. “Larry, tell Lancer to go to Sanceland immediately and bring along the documents I asked you to prepare before.” Seeing Daniel hang up the phone and head out, Rachel raised an eyebrow and looked at Maric. She smiled and said, “Grandmother, someone has been doing a lot of preparation behind our backs.” “This is what Daniel should do! If he does not even know how to prepare these things, even if his ashes are sca ttered all over the sea, he will not be able to get his wife back.” Marie chuckled. “Yes, you are right. What should we do next?” Rachel asked. “What else can we do? Prepare clothes for our babies and let them live with Alice in peace. They are our spies!” Marie said. Upon hearing this, the three of them nodded obediently and thought, “That’s right. We were the spies and we had to keep Mommy Alice!” On the other side, under the instigation of Sheryl and Elle, more bodyguards were called over by the
consultant. The bodyguards were about to attack Alice and Candice. Seeing the arrogant demeanor of these people, Alice became surprisingly calm. She took the coffee that Candice had bought and sipped it leisurely. Then, Alice’s eyes flickered as she looked at the consultant with a half-smile. “Hmm, it seems that Sanceland does not follow the rules either. I might have to seek legal assistance then. After all, the applications we signed are protected by relevant legal clauses,” Alice slowly spoke. As soon as Alice finished speaking, the consultant’s expression stiffened. She said, “What legal protection? Do not try to scare me!” In fact, the consultant felt guilty because after the application, she had given Candice a rental contract, which had already been stamped with the company’s seal. This contract could be legally binding under contract law. Elle and Sheryl were not aware of this. Seeing Alice speaking like this, they came over to further stir the pot. “Sure, even if you go to judges or the police, this is at most a contract dispute, not a criminal case,” Sheryl reminded. “We have several lawyers in the Moore family who have close ties with the Kaur family. By then, the legal teams of both companies will be fighting the lawsuit together. Some people, you know, they might end up in jail after trying to go for wool and come home shorn.” Elle began to assertively threaten, feeling quite pleased with herself. The consultant, who was a bit worried just now, instantly felt relieved upon hearing this. She smiled and said, “Then I better latch on to Miss Moore.” Elle chuckled and took out a card from her bag. “Here, go ahead and swipe it. I have rented all the gowns here for today. There are too many events in the coming week, and I need to wear different outfits all the time.” As she spoke, she provocatively walked toward Alice and said, “I am not like someone who has been on the trending list but still hasn’t become popular. Now, you cannot even borrow a gown. HowContent is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
embarrassing.” “Elle, do not say that. We are all friends in the entertainment industry. Let us just give Alice a set,” Sheryl reminded with a smile. Meanwhile, outside the door. “Mr. Kaur, the document has been stamped. Should we go downstairs now?” Lancer asked cautiously. Daniel nodded and said, “Remember, my wife is timid. Watch your language. Do not scare her.” 2/3
