Chapter 252 - Look Like A Beggar

Caitlin waits under the patio umbrella while looking at the street full of the pedestrian. She looks at her wristwatch and sighs. It's ten minutes pass and Sarah still not coming yet.

She still had work to do, and she also got the news that Flynn already returns to the base. She can't wait for him to call her when he's free. While looking at the busy street, she finally spots someone who looked like Sarah.

Except that she looks like a walking dead. Her face looks terrible, and when the girl goes into the shop, she scoffs a bit. "Seriously? She can't be too excited to become like this, right?" She murmurs and takes out a note of fifty dollars and leaves it on the table before she walks to that 'zombie' girl.

"Hey, you're late." Caitlin glance at her and grab her arm to her car that she park not too far from the cafe.

"I'm busy. By the way, lend me your place. I need a place to stay." She arrogantly instructs Caitlin like she's her maids.

"Sorry, what?" Caitlin scoffed at her while looking at her haggard face.

"Father, ask me to stay out of the mansion. I need your apartment since mine; I already sold it." She crosses her arm around her chest. It's true that she already sold her apartment with the thought that she will become Madam Wayne and doesn't need an apartment to live or maintaining again.

Who would've thought that Raymond ditches her and humiliate her in front of everyone? Even until now, wherever she goes, people will look twice at her direction. She's quite famous now. Famous for being a bitch and whore before her wedding day.

'Urgh! It's all Max's fault!'

Caitlin shakes her head. "Pathetic," She mumbled and took out her apartment keys. She's not using that unit anymore as she more prefers to stay at her new house in Philadelphia.

Jingle the key in front of her, Sarah snatches it from Caitlin, and Caitlin unlocks her car door. "Oh, I need to remind you, my apartment might not be to your liking. Since you're the one who makes me live in that place before."

Sarah scrunched her eyebrow a bit. "What do you mean?"

"You'll see. So now, where are we headed?" She gives a signal to the right lane and ready to stir the car to the highway.

"It's a Lawrence household, of course, I want the branded and expensive option, where else!" She rolled her eyes and tried to sleep while she's in the car. Ever since her father blocks all her credit cards and car, she had to take a subway or taxi to go from one place to another.

It's tiring her out when she had to go through all hardship. Just because of what happened between her and Raymond. And now, she can't wait to be Brian's fiancee. So she can revive her wealthy lifestyle again.

She smiles subconsciously, and it makes Caitlin irk a bit. 'Yuck! You must be thinking of luxury life you'll have with Ben, huh? Well, good luck with that!'

She drives them to the bridal boutique, which is quite famous around the world. And because Sarah already makes a reservation under Caitlin's name, they got a particular VIP room at the upstairs of the boutique. It was provided by Brian for his future fiancee to get the best treatment ever.

Entering the VIP room, Caitlin sits on the leather sofa, while Sarah runs her finger to the dress that caught her eyes. "Ahem, miss..please carefully touch the linen. It's quite pricey if it's got stained."

Caitlin holds her laughs. She feels amuse to see Sarah's expression change. 'She did look like a 'beggar,' huh?' One of the boutique attendants, went to Caitlin and said, "Lady Caitlin, our designer is ready to measure your body."

Sarah lifted up her eyebrow. 'Wait, I'm the one who is going to be the 'bride,' why offer that bumpkin to measure her body?'

Like she can read what's on Sarah's face, Caitlin then smirks a bit, looking at her half-sister.

"Right, for my body measurement, you can take that woman over there. She has the same size as me."

The attendant looks confused before she looks at her friend. "But.."

"It's okay. Just measure that woman over there. I don't like people to touch my body. I hope you can understand my circ.u.mstance." Caitlin said again, politely, and they can't refuse her.

If the customer itself request it like that, then they have to follow her instruction. The two of the attendant then look at Sarah from top to toes. She looks haggard and doesn't look like someone from a high profile at all.

"Miss, please follow me." The attendant said, and Sarah flamed with their attitude toward her. When she still under Raymond's influence, everyone will praise her and say that whatever she wears, she will always look beautiful.

But, now..just because she was 'kicked' by her father and lost Raymond's influence, everyone looks at her like she's some kind of the dirt in society. She's stomping her feet and pouting while following them.

Caitlin sighs and took a magazine for her to read to lessen her bored. She didn't care at all about what Sarah will wear on that party later. For her, to trick her sister and that guy is already a good show later.

'Well, let them live in their own fantasy.'

…

"Mm...I want it to be the most extravagant dress that night. Do you get what I mean?" Sarah asked the designer, and he frowned, looking at her.

He knows her, but he hates her. She's always pressuring people to make something that sometimes is ridiculous and impossible. After that, she'll brag and talk bad about the person who made the dress behind their back.

"I know, but this isn't your engagement dress, aren't they? Why you're the one who decides everything?" The guy mumble on the last sentence.

"Just do as I asked." Sarah rolls her eyes and turns her body around to the mirror. Looking at her dress for the last time before she needs to change it back.

"Okay, all done. Please change your clothes." The designer said, and all of the attendants also leave the room. They all went to the other room and chat with Caitlin. They much more like the first daughter of Rochester, Caitlin. Even she was once jailed because of the drug scandal, but she still looks elegant and soft.

Her personality didn't change much, and she looks more vibrant these days.

Sarah grit her teeth when there's no one left to help her to change the dress. She stomps her feet and tries to unzip the dress using her hand. It's tough, and while she was focusing on undoing the dress, the light in the room suddenly flickered make her flinch her body.

Her breathing becomes more c.u.mbersome, and she feels anxious while looking around her. The moment her eyes meet the mirror, she froze.

'It's her!!'

It is Luna who she looks in the mirror, walking to her with the knife still stuck on her chest. Her face looks so eerie, and there's a rotten smell like this morning fill the air.

"W-what do you w-want?" She stuttering asking the 'ghost' from the mirror.

Smirking, she opens her mouth, and the black water is dripping on the floor. "You." She whispers and tries to chocking her.

Squeeze her eyes, Sarah didn't wait long to scream. "Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!"

Her screaming makes all of the workers hurriedly run back to the room where they left Sarah behind.

"What- what's wrong?" One of the workers said while looking around the room.

They found that Sarah already faint on the floor and there's no one inside the room too.

Caitlin look around the room but not found anything at all. It's odd for her to see Sarah in this kind of state. First, she looks horrible and like a zombie. Second, she said that her father, who loves her kicked her out from the mansion, and now…she's faint?

'What kind of drama that she tried to pull this time?'

"Uh, what should we do?" One of the attendants said while looking at Caitlin.

"She just faints. Sprinkle her with water, and she'll wake up." Caitlin said casually, and when her phone buzz, she looks at them all.

"I'll be going, when she wakes up, please tell her that I had business to attend to. Thanks." She smiles and leaves them, managing the unconscious Sarah.
