    Chapter 26 Showcasing Her Acting Skil


    The spectators realized what was going on.


    Some mped their mouths and snickered, whispering about how gullible Sierra was.


    ire smirked at Sierra.


    "It''s only one million.Can''t you afford it, Miss Brooks? After all, it''s no big deal for a sessful actress


    like you."


    The onlookers burst outughing.


    Considering Sierra''s stardom, they had no doubt she could afford it.


    However, they regarded her to be stupid.


    After all, who in their right frame of mind would buy a dress worth one hundred thousand for one


    million? But they didn''t know that Sierra actually didn''t have one million dors.


    Sierra was a sessful actress.She had earned a lot of money over the years.


    However, nobody knew she had spent all her money paying off her uncle''s gambling debts.Her uncle


    was a gambling addict.


    He was all Sierra had in this world.


    She couldn''t leave him alone.She had sold Tear of Sea that Darren gifted her only to pay off her uncle''s


    gambling debts.


    Sierra had recently paid another of his debts and was short of money now.She had raised the bid,


    thinking she could ultimately make ire buy the dress but never thought her n would backfire.


    Sierra was at a loss.She wanted to tear ire into pieces.


    Just as she wondered how to escape the current predicament, she spotted a familiar figure afar.Her


    face lit up with joy.


    Sierra grabbed the dress and red at ire.


    As if on cue, she quickly bit her lip and feigned pity.


    "Fine.I''ll buy it!"


    Just then, Darren walked toward her.иσν???вσσк.￠σмHe was in an expensive suit.


    "What happened?"


    Darren thrust his phone into his pocket and looked up at Sierra.He just received a call.However, the


    commotion in the shop caught his attention, so he came to check what was going on.


    Darren''s eyes widened as he nced at ire.He didn''t expect to see her here.He wanted to speak


    but was at a loss for words.

    The people who had gathered around broke into hushed whispers yet again.


    The saledy, who had witnessed everything, naturally recognized Darren.She was nervous and broke


    into a cold sweat, so she secretly winked at her colleague standing beside her.


    The colleague nodded and hurriedly left.


    Sierra lowered her head and bit her lip.She batted her eyelids before looking at Darren, feigning


    innocence.


    "Nothing, Darren.I was interested in the same dress she picked.But ire raised the price to one


    million."


    Sierra sniffed and looked at ire.


    "I know you are angry because I am with Darren.But I really like him.You''ve been married to him for


    three years, but he was never interested in you.Why don''t you let him go? You have divorced him and


    are already in a rtionship with a wealthy man.Live your life and stay away from ours.Let bygones be


    bygones.We all must move on.Please let me be with Darren."


    The past rumors hadn''t fully faded, so people who had heard about them understood what she meant.


    Darren had no feelings for his ex-wife.


    After the divorce, ire already started dating a wealthy man.


    Besides, Darren openly admitted his rtionship with Sierra.


    Nobody knew if Darren had cheated on his ex-wife or not.


    However, they were divorced now, and he was in a rtionship with Sierra now.


    Besides, ire was also in a rtionship now.


    But even so, she seemed obsessed with her ex-husband.


    Everyone believed she deliberately raised the price to humiliate Sierra.


    Everyone was interested in witnessing the drama.


    The spectators began gossiping about Sierra.


    They all assumed she was innocent and looked at ire with disdain.


    ire''s lips curled up into a sneer.


    "Are you implying I was deliberately causing trouble for you? You suggested we bid for the dress.It was


    you who raised the price to one million.Now, you''re creating a scene to escape without paying for it.If


    you regret bidding for the dress, just say it.Nobody willugh at you if you admit you can''t afford it.Stop


    pretending to be innocent! It''s disgusting!"


    "I don''t mean to me you.Don''t get me wrong,"


    Sierra whined, trying to sound pitiful.


    "I just hope you forget the past and move on.Darren married you only because he was a loyal son to


    his father.You two have never been in love.Why do you still care about this failed marriage?"


    Bile rose in ire''s throat.She knew Sierra was just acting to garner sympathy.


    "I understand you hate me! But I really hope you forget the past and move on.Darren, what do you


    think? Isn''t that the best thing for all of us?"


    ire looked at Darren, who squirmed under the intensity of her gaze.A frown creased his forehead.He


    looked away and took out a bank card.


    "It''s just a dress worth one million.Stop arguing over it!"


    His words infuriated ire.She sneered and grabbed the dress.


    Everyone gasped in shock as the dress being torn into two.
