Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 897

Victoria had only wanted Elaine to apologize and compensate for the damage so that the matter would come to an end quickly. However, Elaine's attitude was really irritating!

When Victoria thought of Trevor's words, she was in a somewhat difficult position.

If she continued to pursue this matter, would she mess things up? But if she did not pursue it, what would the others think of her? Would she be able to continue her business in the future?

After all, her studio was not of mass production. It took her a lot of effort to create this market!

Meanwhile, Elaine was equally upset. In that instant, both of them went silent. Looking at the dress in her hand, she suddenly thought of the only limited- edition custom- made red dress. Immediately, she became a little more confident. She raised her chin unconsciously and spoke with resolution.

"Isn't it just a piece of clothing? How much is it? I'll buy it."

Elaine rolled her eyes and pretended to be arrogant. She thought in her heart, "Who does she think she is? I will make her suffer next time!"

Victoria didn't like her arrogant tone very much, and she was also a stubborn person.

As she slowly lost her temper, Victoria smiled slightly and replied, "If that's the case, it is much appreciated!" Taking out her phone, she started to calculate.

After fiddling with it a few times, she lifted her phone and showed it to Elaine. "Since it's damaged, both of us are responsible for it. I'll give you a 20% discount, it will be 240,000 dollars! Are you going to pay with your card or bank transfer?"

"What?"

With a scream, Elaine's face turned green in an instant.

"Are you robbing me? It's only a piece of damaged clothing with no brand. Yet, you want me to pay 240,000 dollars? Are you kidding me? Shouldn't you look at yourself before trying to cheat me?"

"Miss Benett, you've seen a lot of clothes, so I assume you would know the value of things once you look at them. This is made from natural silk, a hand-made embroidery, and it took three months to finish by hand. How much do you think it cost? The price is 200,000 dollars, and the liquidated damage is 50%, so it's 300,000 dollars! You ruined my dress, and I still have to pay for the liquidated damage. I'll give you a 20% discount, and you'll have to pay for the rest. Now that I have the evidence, do you still want to deny it?"

Then, Victoria thought of something and added, "Oh, by the way, there seem to be surveillance cameras in the outer room."

What she meant was that whoever damaged the dress could be caught easily.

Elaine argued, "The dress was left here, so how do you expect me to know who it belongs to? You were the one who left it here. Why should I be the one paying? Don't you even dream about it?"

Victoria scoffed. "You should know where exactly the dress was left. Are you trying to say that the box, the business card on it and the logo are all fake? Or is your last name Claire? Do you still want to deny that fact that you've damaged other people's items without permission?"

As the two of them quarreled, the people around them started backing out and did not dare to interrupt. Standing at the door, an assistant was so scared that she did not even enter the door. She turned around and fled in a hurry. She then bumped into Holger in the corridor.

"Why are you in such a panic?" hearing his angry voice, the assistant was startled even more and almost fell to her knees on the spot. She picked up the scattered items in a hurry and explained the situation in the room.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Crouch!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Miss Benett and Mrs. Clements! May just came out from the room and told us that we'd better take a detour and don't go in for the time being. But I have to get a set of props, so I'm going downstairs to the storeroom..."

She didn't want to get involved in the trouble. Rumors had it that Elaine's boss was Mr. Clements. At this time, no one wanted to be involved. Anything might happen if they continue to watch the fuss!
