The following morning, Serena took a cab to the most luxurious bridal boutique in Shalholm. It was the largest in the city to feature international designer labels. Even the cheapest wedding gowns there cost thousands.The bustling boutique attracted a constant flow of customers.At that moment, Sophia waited at the entrance with her arms crossed. She wore a trendy mini skirt, showcasing her fair legs. She saw Serena running over and scolded, “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for ten minutes. Don’t you know how precious my time is? I have to be with Ethan later to choose a wedding ring.”Serena was apologetic. "I'm sorry, Sophia. There was traffic on the way—"Sophia scoffed, "I didn't want to call you, but you're my only cousin. I had to bring you along since it's for my big wedding. It might just show you how big the gap between us is."Serena felt aggrieved at that remark. She could only lower her head and take her scolding."I just said a few words, and you're already u

Serena looked mesmerizing as the pure white wedding gown complemented her perfect figure. The gown had found its rightful owner, and the other ones paled in comparison. Even the other women trying on gowns could not help but stare at Serena.‘She’s perfect! Is she an actress?’‘Is it possible for anyone to look that good?!’‘She looks like a princess!’Serena blushed at everyone’s reactions. She hesitantly asked, “I-Is something wrong?”The attendant who helped Serena teared up, exclaiming, “Miss, you’re stunning! The gown seems tailor-made for you. I’ve been in this industry for years, yet I’ve never seen anyone fit any of our gowns so perfectly.”Serena was astounded. “Really?”The attendant earnestly nodded as everyone looked at Serena enviously. One of the other customers in the store shouted, “I want to try on that gown too!”Serena shyly looked at herself in the mirror, wishing Xayne was there. Suddenly, a hurried click-clack of high heels sounded on the marble floor. Bef

After crying for a long time, Serena wiped her tears and took a deep breath. Xayne pulled her up and said, “Let’s go.”Serena was puzzled, nervously asking, “Where are we going?”“To get revenge,” Xayne replied, “How can I let you cry because of someone else? You should only cry for me.”Serena’s heart felt warm. Then she forced a smile and grabbed Xayne. She shook her head, saying, “No, it’s okay.”Xayne wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and said, “I don’t think it’s okay. Someone humiliated you, and as your husband, I must intervene.”“B-But—” Serena wanted to say something, but Xayne pulled her straight to Westhampton Bridal.When she left in the morning, she mentioned she would be at Westhampton Bridal with Sophia. Additionally, the store was an international brand and the most expensive bridal store in Shalholm.Xayne drew curious gazes from onlookers as he brought Serena into Westhampton Bridal. A cold aura erupted from the entrance as he opened the door. At that mom

Jesse was in his thirties. He wore black-framed glasses and had a beer belly. He looked like a creep with perverted thoughts. Jesse pushed up his glasses and asked, “Who’s causing trouble?”Kate complained, “Those two, Mr. Jesse. They drove so many customers away. A lady wanted to buy Leopold Cox’s gown, but she left because that guy slapped her. He even slapped me and demanded an apology!”Jesse was puzzled about the details. However, he became furious after learning that someone had mistreated his staff members. Jesse noticed the handprint on Kate’s cheek and turned to glare at Xayne. “Did you hit her?!”Xayne calmly stated, “Yes, I did.”Jesse hated Xayne’s arrogant tone, scolding, “Don’t you know what store you’re in? The staff here are some of the prettiest in Shalholm. Your slap damaged the face of my most valued staff member.“How will Kate continue to serve customers? You must apologize to her and pay for her loss of wages and causing her mental distress. I demand a hundre

Jesse and the store attendants were shocked to see Mark rushing in. Jesse hurried forward and respectfully addressed Mark, “Why are you here, sir? Don’t worry. I’ll handle this. Please wait a moment, Mr. Mark.”Jesse turned and scolded the guards, “Why are you all standing around? Throw those troublemakers out! Can’t you see that our boss is here?”The guards approached Xayne and Serena. The latter was frightened and stood behind Xayne. She tilted her next to look at the guards when Mark shouted, “Stop! Step aside, all of you!”Donovan had told him that the man was none other than Xayne Xavier, and the man beside him was his wife. Although Xayne looked like an ordinary person, Mark knew many big shots liked appearing poor and then teaching arrogant jerks a lesson.Xayne was one of those people.Moreover, Donovan had told Mark that Xayne did not like others exposing his identity. Mark knew what to do. He turned and slapped Jesse, rebuking, “What are you doing?! Is that how you trea
