Chapter 21 - Bluffed?

Ch-21

"Oh! No!" Katherine yelled suddenly.

"What happened?" Eleanor and Myna asked suddenly.

"I can't stay here! This place stinks with a bad bitch smell! My dad and brother said I stay away from contagious things. I shall leave now! You both come with me! Forget about this dress!" she said.

"You brat! What do you mean!?" Jessica said as she raised her voice.

"I mean I can't stand bitches. Didn't you hear? Want proof? You are such a contagious thing. What if I get infected? I am the only daughter and only sister for my father and brother. I can't be infected. Sobs~~" she started her melodrama making Eleanor bite her inner cheek to stop from laughing. While Myna laughed out loud embarrassing Jessica further.

"You brat! Haven't your parents taught you any manners? You look like you are only seventeen but act like a white lotus bitch! Just like your sister Eleanor!" Jessica yelled, attracting attention.

"Oh, Wait! Are you the illegitimate daughter of the Zora empire? No wonder you are just as shameless as your sister. Ayya… birds of the same feathers flock together. Are you having a rebound time with your half-sister, Eleanor?" Jessica said as she raised her voice further. The onlookers started whispering to each other as they pointed to them.

Eleanor felt anger through her body. Just because the little girl supported her, she was spouting nonsense at her. She badly wanted to slap her but she saw onlookers were recording. If the videos were out then Zora's reputation would go down the drain. She couldn't accept a scandal right now. The best way to scare them was using the Emerson group's name.

[Ahhhh…. I am sorry Cedric. But I have no choice. I will make it up to you when I have a chance.] she said to herself in her heart.

"Jessica! I know you hate me for my grades, my family prosperity, and my name. You are even jealous to the point that you slept with my boyfriend in the name of my best friend. And that Jacob Boris is such a scum to fall for you. Sigh… Now I am together with Cedric Emerson, you want to snatch him even after you get married to the Boris family. The audacity. Do you think the Emerson family is dumb and blind to fall for you like the Boris family?

"Not only that… The so-called half-sister of mine is actually my little sister-in-law. She is the only sister of Emerson groups. The dress you wanted to snatch from us is selected for her. If you dare, try snatching it," Eleanor said with a haughty smirk on her face.

Dammit! Eleanor was sweating buckets as she said those words. Only she knew how scared she was. She could only pray that these people would leak these videos and make them viral. She gulped hard but she tried to hide her fear and anxiousness.

Jessica couldn't help but flinch at her words. She didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Were her roots that strong that she even came out with the precious daughter of the Emerson family? She made a mistake! Ahh! This will affect her image in front of her future sister-in-law. If she says about the things she said to Eleanor then she would be done for. She needs to make things right. Dammit! It's all because of this bitch Eleanor! If she had said it earlier then she would have buttered up to this girl. All because of this bitch! Dammit! Dammit! She gave a hateful look to Eleanor as she gritted her teeth.

On the other hand….

Katherine was stumped at Eleanor's words. She panicked when she heard her words. Suddenly she has a thought. So… she was only acting with her when she was with her all this while. She felt annoyed but she saw Eleanor's pleading look and even winked at her.

"Please cooperate," she said in a low voice to her as she looked at her. She couldn't help but feel confused. However, she decided to go along with her act. And act like dumb.

On the other side...…

Eleanor felt relief after whispering to Katherine to cooperate with her. She saw Jessica's ugly face contorted with anger and displeasure.

"We shall leave," Eleanor said as she tried to drag Katherine.

"Wait, Sister-in-law, we picked this dress but…" Katherine sighed.

"I don't want it! You can have it! I am sorry!" Jessica's hurried voice and boot-looking nature came out as she looked at Katherine with a desperate look.

Really?" she asked.

"Yes," she bobbed her head furiously.

"Okay then!" Katherina said with a smirk.

"Come here!" she yelled. A man in black came with scissors in with him. Katherine took the scissors and cut the gown into pieces as she took the scissors. Everyone was dumbfounded at her actions even Eleanor didn't expect she would do that. She would never have the heart to ruin that beautiful work.

"Katherine…" Eleanor tried to talk to her but she didn't care.

"No Problem. I can handle it," she said with a reassuring smile.

Eleanor has no choice but to stare at the scene. "I will pay for this dress I ruined," she said to the saleslady.

Katherine followed the saleslady to make the payment along with Eleanor. Myna looked at Jessica who was dumbfounded and smirked. When she was about to follow Katherine, she was stopped by her sudden words.

"Miss. Bitch, please don't follow me. I hate contagious things and people. You are a man stealer. I can't stay with people like you. And I don't want a dress that was desired by you. Also, I don't want others to buy a dress that was liked by a bitch like you. They might suffer from a terminal illness. So, I plucked that contagious illness from the roots by cutting it. Now… I have to sanitize my hands, eyes, nose, and mouth. Ewww… They are dirtied because of you." she said and turned around to leave.

"Jessica…" Myna called out.

Jessica looked at her with anger and resentment on her face.

"Do you know…. She wasn't the sister of Cedric. We just lied to you to shut your stinking mouth," she said to her shocked Katherine while leaving Jessica dumbfounded.
