Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 51

Fortunately, the fitting room was wide. As soon as she walked in, she saw Alice in front of the mirror. The dark green dress was really beautiful on her. "This one suits you very well. You look like a beautiful princess when wearing it." Jessica praised her.

"I have allodoxaphobia. I want to see how this rose-red dress looks like on people."

Only then did Jessica see a rose-red dress hanging next to her. "Then you can change into the rose-red one."

"Jessica, why don't you try this rose-red one for me? I want to see its effect."

Jessica didn't want to but still tried it for her as there was little time left.

Both of them had put on dresses. They came out of the fitting room together and stood in front of the wide mirror outside. Alice stared at Jessica's dress and regretted asking her to try this rose-red dress on. Wearing a bright dress at night would definitely make Jessica showier at the party. This rose-red dress made her look ruddy and good.

Though the dark green one she had chosen was not ugly, compared to Jessica's, it made her look darker, especially when they were standing side by side.

"Miss Zamani, have you made a decision?" Jessica saw Alice's slightly changed expression and asked her softly.

Alice said insincerely, "Well, I still think my dark green one looks better."

Hearing what she said, the shop assistant quickly came over and said, "Miss Zamani, this dress suits you perfectly. Your taste is good."

"Okay, I'll take it off first. You wrap it up for me. I will do my hair later."

Hearing that Alice had made a decision, Jessica immediately turned back to the fitting room to take the dress off.

Alice followed behind, thinking of what had happened at the Fox Mountain Residence Hotel. At that time, she was trampled on the hem of the dress, and red wine was spilled all over her body. Last time, she didn't teach Jessica a good lesson in the face of Oliver. Now that the fitting room wasn't equipped with a camera, no one could save her anymore.

Alice stepped directly at Jessica's rose-red dress hem without any scruples. Her dress was not very long. It just hung down to the ground while she was walking.

Alice failed to stamp on her dress at first. Then, she took another step forward. She trampled it so quickly that Jessica didn't have time to react at all. Jessica lost her balance and fell on the table in front of her. Jessica let out an "Ouch" and heard the dress rip at the same time.

Jessica's first reaction was that the dress was torn apart.

Alice walked over and said, "Jessica, you're too careless. You've stepped on my hem before. Are you going to atone for your mistake today? So you slip in front of me."

Jessica knew that she was a little anxious, but her heels were not high. She didn't fall by accident. It was obvious that Alice tripped her up.

"I didn't step on your dress hem last time. But you stepped on my dress on purpose this time." Jessica was furious. Alice was really vengeful.

"Oh? Who could prove it?" Alice turned around to see if anyone was around. She laughed wildly, "Your dress was torn. How do you explain it to the shop assistant?"

When the shop assistant outside heard the noise inside, she knocked on the door and came in. When she saw that the hem of the rose-red dress had been torn, she immediately pointed at Jessica and said, "You were dressed in rags and couldn't afford to buy the dress obviously. We served you for Miss Zamani's sake. Do you think our clothes are of the same quality as the coarse cloth you were wearing? Our skirts are all made of the most expensive silk fabric, handmade by costume designers. You must compensate according to the cost. Otherwise, we'll call the police immediately."

The shop assistant was probably so frightened that she said a lot about its serious consequences.

"Jessica, I think you should just buy it. To be honest, this dress looks good on you. If you get it, you can still wear it after asking a tailor to sew it up for you."

Alice was still talking and Jessica's phone suddenly rang. She hung up without looking at it because her phone was still filming. Before she went into the fitting room, she found that there was no camera inside. If some disputes happened, she couldn't explain it. Since she had previous experience, she learned a lot. A fall into the pit, a gain in her wit.

So, when she went into the cloakroom, she turned on the camera of her phone. Fortunately, she was carrying today was Furla's transparent bag, so that no one would notice her phone was recording the whole process in her bag.

She clicked the video she had just recorded and saw that Alice took another heavy step on her dress hem after failing on the first try. So, she lost her balance and fell forward, which made her skirt tear apart.

Jessica came back to her senses. "Miss Zamani, what did you just say?"

Alice smiled maliciously. "I say, do you want to transfer money or swipe a card? Or go to the police station?"

"Miss Zamani, what do you think I should do?" Jessica calmed down and asked Alice, being neither humble nor pushy.

"Jessica, although I don't know how much your salary is, I guess that you can't afford the dress you're wearing without eating or drinking for a year. But if you beg me, for Oliver's sake, I'll help you. After all, you're his secretary. I don't want you to be embarrassed."

"Then how can you help me?"

"Kneel down in the hallway outside and beg me to forgive you for stepping on my skirt and spilling coffee all over me. Then I will let it go."

"Miss Zamani, it seems that you have a bad memory. I've never stepped on your dress. You watched the surveillance video in the first place."

"You are really stubborn. If you don't beg me, how can you, a poor woman, pay for this dress? It seems that you have to be ready to eat instant noodles for a few years."

Jessica sneered, "Although I'm poor, I won't stab others in the back. You are complimented as a rich girl from a noble family, but you really love to do some shady things. It's really contemptible."

"Jessica, keep your perfectly acting. When we get into the police station, you will know what will happen."
