Anger and frustration boiled within Sharon. But before she could utter a single word, the store manager interjected slowly, "US dollars."

Sharon's eyes widened in disbelief. She wondered if she had misheard.

Ten million US dollars?

Fora piece of clothing?

No wonder the showcase was locked and lined with layers of explosion-proof glass windows.

She cast a resentful glance at Joanne, only to replace that the latter was unsurprised by the price, as if she had known all along.

'This bitch! She must have tricked me into buying something so outrageously expensive.

'This is truly infuriating.'

"Ms. Collins, would you like to try on the dress in the VIP room on the second floor or the special compartment on the first floor?" the store manager asked. Sharon's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat. She shivered and said, "What's the rush? I don't think the dress

fits me."

"That's not a problem. Our store has seven expert tailors who can modify it to fit you perfectly." "I..."

Sharon hesitated, on the verge of refusing to try on the dress.

But with so many people watching her, she couldn't afford to lose face as a big star.

She gritted her teeth. "Wait for me. I'll make a phone call and try it later."

"This way please," the store manager said, his doubts growing as Sharon continued to make excuses and refused to try on the dress.

It was hard to believe that Sharon Collins couldn't afford the dress. What a waste of energy!

Under the watchful eyes of onlookers, Sharon retreated to a corner to call Edwin.

She made three consecutive calls, but each one was abruptly rejected.

Sharon was about to lose her mind.

She would rather beg Edwin for forgiveness and receive his punishment later rather than lose face in public now.

Unable to reach Edwin, Sharon called his assistant, Lucas. Fortunately, Lucas picked it up.

"Ms. Collins?" Lucas's voice was formal and distant.

Rumors had spread that Sharon was Edwin's wife, but as an insider, Lucas knew that they were not married at all.

It was just a fib Edwin had told Harry.

But Sharon took it seriously and constantly flaunted her status as Edwin's wife.

"You finally answer the phone. I need to speak to Mr. Atherton right now! Put him on the phone!" Sharon commanded in a haughty tone. Lucas sneered disdainfully. "I'm afraid Mr. Atherton is in a meeting now. When the meeting is over, I will inform him that you called."

"No, this is urgent. I can't wait! I need to speak with Mr. Atherton right now!"

"I'm sorry, I really can't help you."

Sharon was afraid that she had pushed too hard, so she quickly changed her tone. "Don't hang up! I'm not joking.

This is about Mr. Atherton's reputation. That bitch, Joanna, set me up to buy a $10 million dress, but I don't have so much money with me. And if this gets out, it will damage Mr. Atherton's reputation. I'm sorry for my attitude earlier. Can you please help me?"

Lucas paused from hanging up the phone and asked, "Hold on! Who did you say set you up? Joanna?"

Not that Joanna he knew, right?
