My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 814

Chapter 814 Harold was speechless. George was right, but why did his point sound a little strange? Why did he have to compare him to a dog?

"The surveillance camera will have your proof," Alden said. "Even if we go to court, you'll still need to pay for these losses. Someone should calculate how much money she needs to pay in total."

A shocked female service assistant at the side immediately took a calculator and approached them to calculate the cost.

There was a total of seventeen dresses. The cheapest was $180,000 while the most expensive was nearly $500,000. The total came to about $5,000,000.

The female service assistant's face turned pale in response to the huge blow.

She could not even afford to compensate for one piece, much less so many pieces.

"What happened?"

Halfway through fitting her fitting, Adina heard the noise outside. She immediately put on the dress and walked out to see the mess in the lobby.

Harold seemed to enjoy the person's misfortune as he described it. "Mommy, that lady destroyed a dozen dresses. She needs to pay $5,000,000.”

"No, it wasn't me." The female service assistant's lips trembled as she said, "Ms. Daugherty, your son purposely tripped me, so I fell. I shouldn't bear the consequences alone." Adina looked at Harold and noticed that the boy was stroking his nose guiltily.

When she thought about it, she understood what happened. This female service assistant had led the gossip about her, and her children heard it, so they directed this scene.

She picked up the first dress nonchalantly. "We'll bear the cost for this dress."

The female service assistant was stunned. "What about the remaining seventeen pieces?"

"The Winters family is rich, but we won't pay the bill for someone else's mistake," Adina indifferently said, "My son was a part of the reason this dress is ruined, but the other seventeen pieces have nothing to do with us." Adina just took the dress and paid the bill at the counter.

The female service assistant was terrified. She went weak in the knees and sat on the ground. When she looked at the mess, she covered her face and cried hopelessly.

While Adina paid, she said to the kids, "When you want to punish someone, you shouldn't involve yourself." The children had been fairly reasonable in the incident today, but upon closer look, they could easily be labeled as bullies.

Harold blinked. "So, you don't blame me, Mommy?" Adina smiled gently. "You did it to vent some anger on my behalf, so why would I blame you? But there's clearly a better way to handle this. You should think twice before you act."

Alden pursed his lips and said, “That was the only way to remind the service assistant that she can't just gossip about anyone.”

He knew that it was easy to leave a bad reputation because of such an incident, but he did not care at all as long as he could avenge his mommy. Dillon had been in the men's section. He only heard about the incident from the service assistant after he chose his outfit and came out. He gazed coldly at the female service assistant, who intended to beg for his mercy, and he replied indifferently, "If you had taken the initiative to apologize to Addy instead of immediately putting the blame on the child, perhaps I could have still paid this debt for you. But you're still young. It's possible for you to clear your debt

in this lifetime if you work hard."

Following that, he took Adina and the children out of the boutique.

Dillon looked apologetic once they left the venue. "I'm sorry, Addy. I shouldn't have taken you to this boutique. It's all my fault."

Adina smiled casually, "They have the right to say anything they want. I'm not bothered by what they say. There are two scars on my face, but I don't replace myself

ugly."

Dillon sighed.

No girl could bear to have her face suddenly ruined. Addy just said that to make him feel at ease, right?
