003 Emily, let me handle your bad breath

The sales assistant seemed ready to intervene.

“I’m the eldest daughter of the Hansen family,” Emily said haughtily. “Wrap up that dress for me; I’m buying it!”

I calmly took out my bank card. “Sales assistant, please process my payment.”

Emily stared at me in disbelief. “Didn’t you hear? Take off that dress right now—immediately!”

The sales assistant took my card with both hands. “Sure, please hold on a moment.”

Emily was getting frantic. “I’m the eldest daughter of the Hansen family! I order you not to process that payment!”

The sales assistant remained unfazed. “Ma’am, you’re too late. Even if you are the Hansen family’s eldest daughter, you can’t break the rules.”

After the transaction went through, the sales assistant returned my card to me.

Emily's expression darkened, her gaze sharp as a knife. “You little tramp, where did you get the money to buy that dress?”

“Have you been cheating? Amelia, you’re being incredibly bold today, showing me such disrespect. I should make you slap yourself three times, but I wouldn’t want to hurt my well-manicured hands.”

What a joke! This princess dared to talk about respect? There was a time when she and her mother forced me to clean and cook, making me deal with her drunken mess in the middle of the night, intentionally letting me go hungry, and even making me mow the lawn in the summer until I ended up in the hospital for three days.

As these old grievances resurfaced, my anger flared up again. I had tolerated so much for Damian, but now I was ready to fight for myself.

“Smack!” I grabbed a high-end magazine from the table and slapped it across her cheek.

Her face instantly reddened and swelled.

“That’s interest, for the slap you owe my friend!” I quickly picked up a glass of water and splashed it in her face. “You can eat whatever you want, but don’t say whatever comes to your mind. Today, I’m washing out your mouth with plain water, just to get rid of that bad breath!”

Emily lunged at me, trying to claw my cheek with her sharp nails. I grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back.

She screamed in pain, “You’re done for, Amelia! I’ll tell my brother and get you divorced!”

“I’m waiting for his divorce papers. Now get lost!” I released Emily, and she got to her feet, still cursing under her breath.

I shook my fist at her as a warning. “If you keep running that filthy mouth, I won’t hesitate to teach you another lesson. I’ll happily pay you back for that slap to Anna. Trust me, this time I’ll make sure you get two.”

Emily was taken aback by my fierce demeanor and reluctantly left, muttering curses.

Anna and I continued shopping in the mall.

“You were so cool, Amelia! Seeing that brat shaking with rage was just the best!” Anna exclaimed excitedly.

Emily, fuming, turned and made a phone call to complain. “Yes, that’s right. Have someone follow them and report back to me at all times.”

Meanwhile, Anna and I went on a shopping spree, racking up a whopping $1 million.

“Alright, have all my clothes delivered to my house,” I instructed.

Anna twirled in front of the mirror. “Mia, your taste is fantastic! That dress looks stunning! Let’s go, put on something new and hit the bar!”

In the bar, the singer on stage was belting out Taylor's songs with all her might. After shaking off two guys who had come over to chat, Anna began to complain, “It’s all your fault for dressing so beautifully today. I can’t catch a break!”

Just then, two more men approached us. Anna pulled me up and said, “Let’s head to the restroom.”

As soon as we stepped inside, the door locked behind us. The same two men from earlier followed us in.

“Hey, beautiful girls! Want to have a wonderful night? We can make it a foursome,” one of them leered.

It was obvious they weren’t here with good intentions. Without wasting a moment, I grabbed a mop and started swinging it wildly, sending the two men crying for mercy.

There was a loud knock at the door, and when I opened it, I was shocked to see Emily standing there!

No doubt, she had orchestrated this.

I yanked her hair and gave her a beating.

Emily screamed in fury, “Amelia, how dare you hit me? You’re done for! I’ll have my brother kill you!”

I exchanged a knowing glance with Anna, who immediately grabbed a toilet brush from a stall.

Emily’s eyes went wide with terror, and she tried to escape, her golden curls losing a hefty chunk as she scrambled away.

I laughed heartily behind her.

“Amelia, what are you doing?”

It was my brother’s voice! Axel stood there, his face stern. “Amelia, you can’t behave like this in public! Hand me that filthy toilet brush!”

Axel snatched the brush from my hands and began to chase after Emily, giving her a light swat. It wasn’t hard, but the humiliation was palpable.

Emily ran, shrieking.

Anna was in stitches, nearly in tears. “What are you doing, Mia? Tell me, who is this handsome man? The sight of him in a suit, wielding a toilet brush, chasing that bitch is just too good!”

“That’s my big brother, Axel.”

“Can I go after him?”

“He’s got a fiancée.”

“Forget it then.” Anna shrugged, looking disappointed.

After washing his hands twice with soap, Axel came out, reverting to his usual cool and composed demeanor. “Let’s go, ladies.”

Axel had his driver take Anna home while he drove me back.

The moment Axel opened the car door for me, I heard the sound of a camera shutter.

I turned to look but saw no one there.

As the Bentley pulled away, Emily stepped out from the shadows.

She glared at the photo on her phone. “Now I've got the evidence.”

She quickly sent the photo to Damian.

“Brother, take a look at your wonderful wife, Amelia. She’s cheating on you! She’s laughing and joking with another man, and even got into his car!”

Emily then called Vivian. “Darling Vivian, guess what? Your chance has come! I saw Amelia flirting with another man today, getting into a Bentley. She’s attached herself to a rich guy again.”

Vivian squinted, seemingly surprised. “Amelia? She doesn’t seem like the type.”

Emily fumed, “Don’t be fooled! She’s a super arrogant brat and a total tramp!”

Vivian replied, “Alright, don’t get worked up, Emily. She’s just a lonely girl with no one who loves her. We shouldn’t stoop to her level.”

Emily, still seething, said, “Vivian, she’s taken your place for three years! Aren’t you angry? I can’t stand that bitch! I’m going to make her pay. You have to help me.”

Vivian swirled her glass of red wine, took a delicate sip, and said lazily, “Don’t worry, Emily. She’s about to divorce your brother.”
