It turned out someone had felt something was off when Evelyn called for Wendy to get into the changing room with her.

A short employee pushed aside the both of them, walked quickly into the changing room and took out the white dress with the torn zipper. With a smug expression, she passed the dress to the lady in a cheongsam. "Boss, I told you there's something fishy about these two, didn't I? We could have lost money if we let them sneak out."

The cheongsam lady looked at the dress with the torn zipper and looked at the sign. Pointing at the friendly reminder that was hung on the wall, she asked Evelyn, "When you entered my studio, did my worker tell you about the friendly reminder?"

"He did," Evelyn guiltily said the truth.

"In that case, please pay according to the price. 38,000, are you paying by card or by cash?"

"I don't have any money."

The short employee yelled, "How dare you enter our studio and try out our dresses if you don't have any money? All our garments are imported brand names! Do you know every one costs a fortune?"

"It's not that we don't have the money. We forgot to bring our bags. The card is in the bag." Wendy gave an apologetic smile and explained.

"Is that so? Hurry up and get your bag to pay. We'll wait here." The short employee sneered, as if she had seen through her.

Wendy, who had lost all her confidence, was speechless for a moment and looked at Evelyn.

Evelyn said weakly to the lady, "Madam, your dress only had the zipper torn. All the other parts are still in good condition. What if I'll help you find a seamstress to help you fix the zipper? I promise you it won't affect the entire look of the dress."

"Fix the zipper?" The cheongsam lady laughed disdainfully. "You can buy this dress to have the zipper fixed and wear it as a new dress. Our boutique is responsible for all the customers, so we will never sell any defective clothes."

"If you really have money, don't waste our time with your nonsense here!" The short employee's tone was dripping with sarcasm.

Wendy couldn't tolerate her mocking look any longer. She pointed at Evelyn and said, "Don't look down on others. Do you know who she is?"

"Who is she?" The short employee pretended to be astonished. "Don't tell me she is our big boss's wife."

After she finished talking, she found her own words absurd and laughed out loud. All her colleagues, including the owner of the boutique, were laughing.

Heavenly Shopping Center was under the SkyForge Group. Whether it being the employees of Heavenly Shopping Center or the merchants stationed in it, all of them referred to Theodore as the 'big boss'.

Wendy was very furious and shouted, "Stop looking down at others and acting like a snob! I'm telling you, she is your big boss's wife!"

"Oh, I've guessed it right! Oh dear, I'm so scared," the short employee clapped her hands and laughed while she continued saying. "If she's the big boss's wife, I can be the big boss's mother."

An employee interrupted, "Then does she have to call you 'mother'?

Then came another wave of laughter.

Evelyn's face was flushed red with anger. Seeing that they were joking about Theodore's mother, she was very angry and bellowed, "Please be more respectful! Don't joke about other people's mothers!"

"Oh, you're saying as if you're the mistress of the Kingsley family. Gosh, have you gotten crazy thinking about our big boss? You..."

The cheongsam lady suddenly stopped the young employee from talking. She asked Evelyn cautiously with a somewhat doubtful look, "Do you really know the big boss?"

Wendy knew she believed in them and quickly said, "If she doesn't know your big boss, how would she become his wife?"

"The big boss has the VIP card of our studio. May I ask whether you have brought the VIP card?"

"Didn't I just tell you? The card is in the bag and the bag is left in the car." Wendy's tone instantly lowered.

The cheongsam lady took a careful look at Wendy and then said, "It's okay if you didn't bring your VIP card. I have records here. Please make a call to the big boss and let me confirm it."

"The phone and the card are left in the bag." Wendy's tone lowered again.

"You must remember his phone number, right? You can just give him a call." The cheongsam lady stopped looking at Wendy and handed her phone to Evelyn.

"I don't remember his phone number." Evelyn's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"But she really is your big boss's wife!"

Wendy's desperate argument once again drew another wave of laughter.

The cheongsam clad lady thought she had seen through Evelyn as a fraud. She heaved a sigh of relief and put away her phone. Then, she sneered, "I can understand if you tell me you can't afford the clothes and tried them out just for fun. After all, everyone has vanity, but it's really the first time I've seen someone as shameless as you pretending to be the big boss's woman."

Seeing her boss talking like that, the short employee got excited again and agreed sarcastically, "Look at her, daydreaming of being the big boss's wife. I think only old men want her if she sells herself in the nightclub."

Wendy was furious and fought back, "Are you talking about yourself? You don't have any curves at all."

"What did you say?"

The short employee was very angry. Suppressing her temper, she turned to look at the cheongsam clad lady and said, "Boss, they can't afford to pay for the compensation. Let's stop wasting time on them. Seeing that their looks do carry some value, why don't we send them directly to Eclipse Club?"

As they saw the cheongsam lady nodding, Wendy's complexion changed completely. She held Evelyn's hand nervously and shouted, "How dare you!"

The short employee sneered, "It's justified to pay your own debt. Since you can't pay for it, don't blame us for doing so."

"I will call the police!"

Once Wendy finished talking, her phone was snatched away.

"Give it back to me!" She went up to them, but was immediately pushed back by someone.

Although Evelyn didn't know what kind of a place Eclipse Club was, she knew it wasn't a good place after seeing Wendy being so nervous. When Evelyn saw her staggering, she quickly went up to help her out. The both of them exchanged a look and held their hands tightly together, ready to force their way out of the shop.

"Seize them! Knock them out." the cheongsam lady ordered and all the workers lunged at them.

"Stop it!"

Just when Evelyn thought it would be the end of her and Wendy, a loud command made everyone stop in their tracks.

"Fred Carter?" Evelyn's eyes brightened.

"Mr. Carter? What brought you here?" The cheongsam lady smiled brightly at Fred and approached him.

Fred didn't even look at her as he rushed forward and pushed away the workers that wanted to rush Evelyn and Wendy into the changing room. Then, he helped Evelyn out and asked her anxiously, "Evelyn, are you alright?"

Before Evelyn could even answer, the cheongsam lady's face paled and she stuttered, "You-You know her?"

Wendy didn't know who Fred was, but looking at the cheongsam lady who was so afraid of him and how he was so concerned about Evelyn, she then quickly said, "They were bullying Evelyn!"

Fred's sharp gaze pointed straight at the cheongsam lady.

The cheongsam lady quickly explained, "No, we didn't bully her. It's just..."

"Evelyn had accidentally torn the zipper of one of the dresses here. She wanted us to pay according to the retail price. It's 38,000! We didn't have the money to buy it and she said she wanted to send Evelyn to Eclipse Club just to pay off the debt!"

"What?" Fred was extremely furious and pointed at the cheongsam lady. "Don't you dare!"

"Mr. Carter, don't listen to her nonsense. It was a misunderstanding. Really, a misunderstanding," the cheongsam lady shook her hands and explained.

"Yes, yes, yes. It was a misunderstanding," the short employee and the others also explained anxiously.

"Is it 38,000? Put it on my bill."

"No... no need, consider this dress as a gift for your friend."

The cheongsam lady handed the white dress to Fred with both hands, but Fred threw it aside. "How can this trash be worth wearing for Evelyn? Get lost!"

"Yes, yes." The cheongsam lady took a few steps back.

"Evelyn, it's fine now. Let's go." Fred wanted to reach out to pull Evelyn, but his hand was pushed away by someone all of a sudden. He was annoyed and wanted to vent his anger. However, when he saw it was Theodore, he staggered.

"Thank you Mr. Carter for rescuing my wife from this embarrassment." While Theodore was still talking, he had already pulled Evelyn into his arms.

Everyone who worked at the Heavenly Shopping Center knew Theodore. Now that all of them heard him calling her 'his wife', their initial shock quickly turned into panic. Everyone was looking at each other, and was shaking all over.

Fred's mouth twitched and said, "It's nothing. I just saw her coincidentally."

"Mark, immediately transfer 3,000,000 to Mr. Carter as a token of appreciation."

"There's no need..."

Ignoring Fred's decline, Theodore turned to appease Evelyn softly. "Wifey, I'm sorry. I've let you been wronged."

"It's okay, I didn't suffered much." Evelyn wasn't used to getting so close to him in public. She instinctively tried to push him away but to no avail.

"You're saying you didn't suffer any grievances? Just because you accidentally tore her dress's zipper, you were almost sent to Eclipse Club to pay off your debt," Wendy angrily repeated.

She knew Theodore. Knowing Theodore had her back, she was more confident and talked in an even louder tone.

"It's a misunderstanding. Big boss, this is all a mistake. I swear, I never said anything about sending them to Eclipse Club," the cheongsam lady was sweating all over while she sobbed and explained.

Fred alone was already enough to make her terrified. She didn't expect to get into trouble with Theodore. Now that Fred had left, Theodore's calm demeanor gave her a false sense of security.

Theodore gazed casually at the dazzling array of clothes. He said softly to the cheongsam lady, "My wife doesn't like dresses with zippers. Go and cut the zippers off."

"What? The dresses will be ruined if the zipper is cut off."

"The dress that can be spoiled just by one pull must be nothing good." Wendy took the scissors on the table and held a dress to cut the zipper off.

When nobody moved, Theodore smiled and said, "You have two choices. One, cut the zippers; or two, go to Eclipse Club."

All the workers panicked and quickly looked for a pair of scissors to cut the zippers. Those who didn't manage to find any scissors tried to pull the zippers off forcefully with their bare hands, fearing that they would be sent to Eclipse Club if they didn't perform well.

After a while, the boutique filled with fashionable dresses had now turned into a pile of trash.

The cheongsam lady had already collapsed on the ground. Her face was as white as ash.

Those clothes that were worth millions were all she got.

Although Evelyn was disgusted by the terrible behaviors of the cheongsam lady and the employees of the shop, Evelyn felt that cutting the zippers off the clothes was a waste of lavish goods. She tried to dissuade him a few times, but Theodore stopped her with a smile. She knew that he was avenging her and couldn't seem to dissuade him. Although she felt pity for them, she didn't say another word.

When he saw almost all the clothes' zippers were cut off, Theodore pulled Evelyn and got onto his feet. He shot a look at Mark and then brought Evelyn and Wendy to another boutique that was a few stores down.

Before they entered the boutique, there was already someone welcoming them as she bowed and reported respectfully, "Mr. Kingsley, the clothes that you want are already prepared."

Theodore nodded as a gesture to let Evelyn and Wendy follow that pretty lady into the changing room.

"That was awesome. Evelyn, Young Master Kingsley treats you really well!" In the changing room, Wendy couldn't contain her excitement; she was doing her happy dance.

Evelyn, who was changing her clothes, forced a smile and didn't answer Wendy. When she lowered her eyes, they were filled with sadness.
