Second Marriage

Chapter 442 Do it With Purpose

“I'm wearing shoes. It doesn't matter.”

Alice walked to the model that was on the ground and then said to Yanis after a moment of thinking,

“Don't come in, take a set of gloves to me.”

Yanis originally wanted to go in, but hearing that, she had to go to take gloves for her.

So only Winnie and Alice were left in the scene.

Winnie finally stopped crying, wiped the tears on her face and said looking at Alice, “You want to pick

up the dress? But the dress is so damaged that it won't be of any use even to pick it up.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Alice took a look at her.

“It is still useful.”

Hearing that, Winnie was stunned, “What do you mean?”

“It is not time to despair.” Alice calmly looked around, and then said in a low voice, “Tell me how you

found this happened.”

“I...” Winnie pressed her lips and squirmed for a moment. “Yesterday I was very happy, so I invited

everyone out for a drink and... It was my first work to be displayed in the exhibition hall. Although no

one came to visit it, I am still happy. So I went back and had a look at the dress. It was fine when I was

here, but when I came back this morning, it looked like this. I think Yanis is right. It is burglary, so it

became like this.”

“Burglary?” Alice gave a low smile, “Do you think the person of burglary would make such a noise?”

Winnie was stunned, “What do you mean?”

“If it was burglary, there was a thief, trying to steal something valuable. But since he wanted to steal

something valuable, why did he have to destroy it?”

Winnie blinked her eyes, “Perhaps because there was nothing valuable, he became angry from

embarrassment?”

“If you were a thief and you stole from this company, would you get angry and smash all the glass,

including the contents inside at night to attract the attention of the residents nearby?”

“No, I won’t be so stupid. These things make a loud sound when they fall to ground. They're very

attractive.”

At this point, Winnie gave a sudden jerk and thought of something.

“Wasn't it burglary, but...” She widened her eyes, looking at Alice.

Alice did not answer. At this time Yanis was back with the gloves. Alice put it on and bent over to gently

pat the glass fragments away, saving the dress from the clutter.

When she took the dress out, Yanis and Winnie want to take it, but Alice said frowning, “Don't touch it,

there may be broken glass inside, don't hurt your hand.”

So Yanis and Winnie had to retreat to the side and wait.

Alice out the dress down on a space and then took off the gloves.

“Alice, your leg got hurt.” Yanis noticed her ankles had a few spots of blood, but Alice did not feel pain,

so she ignored them, “It doesn’t matter, there may be a lot of hidden glass inside, we have to find them

out.”

Winnie crouched down beside her, with a dejected look.

“But what happens after we find them? The dress is ruined and the press conference that Lexi is to

attend is approaching. We have no time to make a new one.”

Yanis also squatted down. Looking at this destroyed dress, she frowned, “Alice, what should we do?

The dress is badly damaged and time is urgent. Do we have a chance to repair it?”

Alice was depressed, looking at the destroyed dress, but soon she cheered herself up and spoke after

a moment of silence, “Get the glass out first and we will talk about it.”

She was calm and composed, but it was abnormal. The dress had been destroyed, Yanis and Winnie

were worried. Yanis had been with her for a long time, so it was acceptable for her, but Winnie was not

the same. She knew Alice for a short time. Seeing that Alice was calm, Winnie was angry and said,

“What do you mean we will talk about it? What will we talk about? Why aren't you worried since the

dress had been destroyed? This is Lexi's dress for the press conference, do you have

countermeasure?”

“No.” Alice told the truth.

How could she think of countermeasure right after the accident?

But the current situation must be dealt with in an emergency, and then countermeasures shall be come

out later.

“Then why are you not panic?” Winnie sniffed.

“Will panic solve the problem? Can it made the glass out of the dress? Stop talking nonsense and deal

with it quickly.”

Yanis whispered to Winnie, “Do as Alice said. She won't hurt you. Although it is your work, the person

in charge of the company is Alice. If there is an accident, she has to take the responsibility.”

Hearing that Yanis said, Winnie came to her sense and nodded. And then she carefully took the glass

out.

After that, Alice said in a cold voice, “When you go back, pretend you know nothing.”

“What?” Winnie widened her eyes in disbelief. But seeing that Alice was calm, she felt that she should

believe her, so she nodded, stretched out wipe her tears, “I know, by the way, I didn't cry, I was just

worried to see my work was destroyed into like that.”

Alice, “All right, go back.”

Alice alone took the dress to her office, sat on the chair looking at it in a daze.

The person who destroyed this dress was deliberate, for it was of silk and would not be able to hold up

against something sharp, so it was very badly damaged.

Feeling headache, Alice rubbed between the eyebrows.

Suddenly, there was a message.

Alice took a look only to see Lexi’s message.

Lexi: {I heard that my dress is finished?}

Looking at her name, Alice was in a trance. She had asked Lexi to have a try on the dress, but Lexi did

not come. But the dress had been destroyed, Lexi asked. It was very painful.

Alice thought for a moment and then relied.

{Yes, it's in the exhibition hall on the sixth floor.}

After thinking, her eyes became dark. And then she added.

{However, there was a slight accident. }

Lexi: {What accident? Don't scare me! }

There was terrified emoji, which made Alice hesitate. She wondered if she told her directly or sent her a

picture.
