He acted shamelessly, even inquiring about you! He played such a duplicitous game and escaped without consequences. It’s infuriating!”
“He’s shifted all blame onto Valery. The legal system won’t touch him.
He’s confident he’ll escape unscathed.” Hannah spoke with an air of indifference, remarking, “Nonetheless, it’s of no consequence.
Individuals like him, who have a history of misdeeds, are often bound to commit even graver transgressions. Sooner or later, he shall face the consequences of his actions.”
“Both he and Alick should be behind bars!” Lydia vented her frustration.
“I’ve always felt Alick’s behavior toward me is peculiar.
He was so eager to call off our engagement before but, when I inquired today, he refused to divulge the truth. Hannah, could you investigate what’s happening within Alick’s family? I suspect there’s a scheme afoot.”
Hannah offered a reassuring response, saying, “Brayden has been delving into this matter. You needn’t worry. Moreover, I’ve kept the address you sent me. If any issues arise, I’ll come to fetch you there directly.”
“You’re so thoughtful…”
Before Lydia could finish her sentence, another incoming call interrupted her. She glanced at the phone and knitted her brows.
“It’s Alick calling. I must hang up for now. We’ll talk later.”
“Of course.”
Lydia answered the phone with impatience, inquiring, “What’s the matter?”
Alick was straightening his tie before the dressing room’s mirror.
“Where are you? Why haven’t you returned yet?”
“I’ve handed your bank card to the sales assistant. If you happen to fancy any clothing, feel free to make purchases. I’m Leaving now.”

Alick furrowed his brow, cautioning, “Don’t forget you have to attend…”
“Because of my father’s command,” Lydia stated impatiently, “I shall make it to the classmate reunion this evening punctually. At the moment, I want to go for a walk. Don’t call me again!”
Alick remained unperturbed by her words, instead casting a glance at Eliana emerging from the fitting room.
Her cheeks tinged with a blush, she was awkwardly clutching the clothes she had tried on.
“I’ll purchase all of these…”
The amiable sales associate beamed and responded, “Please entrust the garments to us and we shall have them packaged for you.”
“No, thank you! I’ll handle the packing myself!” Eliana clutched the clothes tightly, as if they held some secret shame.
The sales associate found this request slightly unusual but refrained from commenting on the customer’s choice. She merely nodded, saying, “Very well, please proceed to the counter for payment.”
