Chapter 209: A sudden appearance
Tristan crossed his arms, leaning back as if he were settling in for a show. "Give it up, Alistair. The manager has spoken. You’re out of your league."Alistair looked at the security guards, then at Sterling, and finally at the trio in front of him. A small, cold chuckle escaped his lips. "You’re right about one thing, Sterling. This store *is* devalued—not by me, but by the quality of the people you consider 'esteemed'. I'll take my business elsewhere."He began to turn, ready to leave the suffocating atmosphere of the boutique, when the heavy glass doors at the entrance burst open.The sound was so abrupt that every head in the store snapped toward the front.A woman stood there, her chest heaving as she gasped for air.Her hair, usually pinned in a perfect, sleek bun, was slightly disheveled, and her expensive heels clicked erratically as she scanned the room with a look of desperate urgency."Is that... Elizabeth Bolton?" a shopper whispered.The room fell into a stunned silence.
Chapter 208: A beggar like you
"Alistair, please. Just stop." Sara said. "You’ve already made enough of a scene today. If you’re doing this to get my attention or to prove some point about being independent, it’s not working. You’re just embarrassing yourself—and by extension, me."She sighed, reaching into her purse as if to pull out some cash. "Just leave now before the police are called. Go home, wash up, and try to find some dignity.""I'm not leaving, Sara," Alistair said, his voice dropping into that deceptively soft tone that usually preceded a storm. "I have a purchase to make and as it is, you three are stopping me from doing so.”“You really want to keep lying?” Mirabel lashed out. “You'd better take Sara's advice now and get out of here otherwise, don't blame me for what happens next. Do you understand?”Rolling his eyes, Alistair didn't even bother with a response and turned to leave. Mirabel glared at his back, who did this bastard think he was?"That’s it!" Mirabel yelled, waving over a man in a shar
Chapter 207: DuMont
The store Alistair visited in the mall was one of the biggest and most expensive, belonging to the top luxury brand, DuMont. They primarily dealt in men's wear, ranging from suits to other types of clothing. The store was currently quite busy with a few individuals walking around while inspecting the suits on display.Workers were expected to attend to all clients who walked in but none bothered with Alistair when he did so.In fact, they intentionally ignored him, especially after checking out his outfit. “Did you see that guy? What the hell is someone like that doing in our store?”“He looks like a beggar. Don't you think he might try to steal something?” “What are the security guards doing?” As the workers murmured while going about their business, Alistair didn't bother trying to call their attention, especially after hearing their foolish comments.Such people would always judge a book by its cover and he was hardly in the mood to teach them a lesson in humility.Just as he
Chapter 206: A tiresome encounter
“Alistair.” Alistair glanced towards the speaker only for his expression to fall as he laid eyes on Sara Connor.However, she wasn't alone and was also accompanied by Tristan Cole and Mirabel Connor. “What are you doing here?” Sara asked.Alistair instinctively facepalmed. “Not this again.”Why did it seem like it was when he least expected it that Sara would show up and even worse, she would be accompanied by two of the most annoying people in the city. “Sis, I think he might be following,” Mirabel said in a mocking tone from the side. “Since you guys are getting divorced, he's trying to follow you around and see what you're up to. Such a weirdo.”Letting out a sigh, Tristan feigned disappointment as he remarked. “Alistair, I know you still love Sara but following her around like this is just weird. Take it from me, you should do better.”He acted as though he were giving good advice, but even a fool would be able to tell that he was indirectly mocking Alistair as well. Sara furr
Chapter 205: A rogue Smith
"Charlotte Bolton is a fool, but she’s a dangerous one. I’ve already informed my lawyers.” Isabella remarked. “I have already filed for a permanent restraining order and a civil suit for attempted kidnapping. There's no way she's getting away with this. I'm going to make her pay.""There's no need for that," Alistair said calmly. "I suspect the Boltons have already handled the matter internally. Charlotte won't be a problem for a very long time.""You sound far too calm for someone who was almost framed for a felony," Isabella remarked, her voice returning to its usual sharp tone. "What are you planning, Alistair? I know that tone. You're not just letting this go.""I'm going to a mall opening tomorrow," Alistair said. "It would be rude not to dress for the occasion. Put your mind at ease, Isabella. Get some rest. I’ll see you at the event."Before she could protest or ask more questions, Alistair ended the call.Letting out a sigh, he put his phone away and made his way to the master
Chapter 204: Back home
Charlotte tried to struggle but what could she possibly do against well-trained guards?And just like that, Charlotte Bolton was taken away, not to be seen again for a while. Back at the station, Alistair stepped out, accompanied by Adam and his entourage.“Mister Reid, where are you off to now? If it's not too much trouble, I would love to accompany you so that what happened earlier won't happen again.” Adam said. “Don't worry, I doubt the person responsible for what happened would be able to make another move.” Alistair calmly replied. “I'm aware, but please, for my peace of mind, allow me to accompany you to your home.” Adam pleaded. Alistair let out a sigh. “Do as you wish.” He was hardly in the mood to argue with Adam about this.Adam grinned upon hearing this. “Please come with me, Mister Reid.”He led Alistair to his personal car which was worth almost fifty million and then, after ensuring Alistair was comfortably seated, Adam ordered his men to pick up Alistair's car to
