Chapter 295
Megan, who wasnât backing down, left Jane and me wideâeyed.
When I realized what was happening, I quickly pulled Megan behind me, fearing that Mrs. Shaw might involve her.
âCome at me if you have any issues.â
âCharlotte!â Megan, undeterred, faced Mrs. Shaw and said, âDidnât you say you didnât want this dress? Let Bethany come out and stop trying it on.â
âWhat!â Mrs. Shaw sneered repeatedly, showing extreme contempt. âYouâre making me laugh. Youâre just a small employee. Does your boss agree with what youâre saying? Do you know how much this dress costsâ¦â
âI can buy it!â Megan puffed out her cheeks and declared this with an air of authority.
I pretended not to hear her bragging.
Mrs. Shaw, infuriated, turned pale with rage. âCharlotte, is this also your intention?â
âIf you donât like it, thatâs fine,â I said with a faint smile.
Mrs. Shaw gritted her teeth and glared at Megan. âAre you sure you can afford it? This dress costs over 1 million dollars!â
âItâs only a million dollars. Maâam, are you very poor?â Megan looked at her in confusion. âOtherwise, why would you keep harping on about something that costs just over a million?â
âYouâ¦â Mrs. Shaw, furious and redâfaced, raised her hand to slap Megan.
I tried to intervene, but someone acted faster than me.
Frank came from behind us, firmly grabbing Mrs. Shawâs forearm, and said with a stern look, âMrs. Shaw, what did my sister do to offend you? If you tell me, Iâll have Grandma personally educate her.
I was dumbfounded, my gaze darting between him and Megan.
The brother Megan mentioned was him?
â
Mrs. Shawâs expression froze, looking like she was about to burst, âYou⦠she⦠she is your sister? Donât talk nonsense. Iâve never seen her in the Smith family.â
Frank didnât respond but instead took out his phone and made a video call.
On the other end, Madam Smith answered immediately, showing her face.
âHumph, you finally have time to give me a video call?â
Frank raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. âItâs not me, Grandma. Itâs that Megan and Mrs. Shaw had a little conflict. Mrs. Shaw was about toâ¦â
âMadam Smith!â Mrs. Shaw immediately deflated like a punctured balloon. She rushed over to hold Frankâs phone and started explaining to the old lady with soft words. âItâs all a misunderstanding. Please donât listen to what Frank saidâ¦â

As she spoke, she moved aside.
Megan turned to Frank. âWhy are you here?â
Frank, impatient, said, âWhy do you think? You kept asking me for a lift, and I ended up waiting for you downstairs for ages.â
âTrue siblings.â
Suddenly, I realized that the person who had asked me to pick up Megan from the University of Jelaston was actually Megan herself.
So, the pair of womenâs slippers at his home must also belong to Megan.
I looked at Frank with confusion. âI havenât seen your sister at the Jelaston Summit.â
âShe didnât come back often before,â replied Frank, glancing at Megan.
Megan cheerfully added, âIâve moved back now. Charlotte, youâll see me often in the future!
The commotion outside was clearly heard by Jane in the fitting room, who had remained silent for a while.
Jane decided to step forward and knocked on the door. âMiss Shaw, do you need any help?â
âNo need!â said Bethany, feeling irritated as she pushed the door open.
The result was unexpectedly pleasing.
Not Bethany, but the dress.
Worn by a person and in motion, it was even more dazzling.
Bethany, mindful of Frankâs presence, didnât dare to act out and just glared at him, demanding, âWhatâs your relationship with her? Why do you always stand up for her?â
âAlright! Bethany!â
â
After finishing her call, Mrs. Shaw came over, swallowed her anger, and pulled Bethany. âGo get changed. Weâre leaving.â
