Chapter 125


    When Gevena arrived, she brought along Janice. They looked at me and immediately asked, "How are


    you? He didn''t give you any more trouble after he left, did he?"


    I filled them in on what had happened and Gevena pped in approval. "If it wasn''t for you saying we


    could still use her, I would''ve taken care of her myself, let her have a taste of real life," she said.


    "We can take our time. She''s a great weapon to use against Marissa!" I hinted.


    Janice sighed heavily, full of regret. "If my sister was as smart as you, she wouldn''t be in her current


    state, caught between life and death."


    I gave a bitter smile. "After a close brush with death, how could I not learn my lesson? In a way, your


    sister is luckier than me. Irving only married Olivia, while Jan brought me a whole group of


    mistresses who want to kill me. If I didn''t fight back, I''d be chewed up in no time."


    We all shared a knowing smile and Gevena suggested, "Let''s go somewhere to sit and talk. This is


    hardly the ce for a discussion."


    We were just about to leave when Janice suddenly pulled me back. I followed her gaze and felt a surge


    of joy.


    At the same time, Catherine spotted two people not far away andughed yfully, "Oh my, what do


    we have here..."


    Gevena reacted the fastest, quickly dragging us into a boutique. She whispered something to a


    salesgirl, who then hurried off.


    The store manager recognized Gevena and quickly invited us to sit down, pouring us each a cup of


    coffee.


    Twenty minutester, the salesgirl came running back, handing her phone to Gevena. Gevena thanked


    her and opened a video on the phone, casually cing it on the coffee table.


    We all crowded around to watch.


    The video showed Marissa, who I had just seen, being held by a tall, young man. He was quite


    handsome, but his demeanor screamed ''scoundrel''. He wasughing flirtatiously with Marissa, his

    hand wrapped around her inappropriately.


    "Are you sure about this one?" Marissa asked, her voice full of charm.


    "Honey, I love the color blue!" the man replied, his voice sounding rather pleasant.


    Upon hearing this, Marissa nced at him approvingly and told the salesgirl, "I''ll take the blue set."


    The salesgirl beamed, quickly wrapping up the clothes Marissa had chosen andplimented, "Miss,


    you have great taste. This gentleman is perfectly suited for this color. It''s too sophisticated for most


    men, but it enhances his good looks."


    Janice snorted disdainfully, "What a tterer! This is nothing more than a gold-digger."


    The salesgirl quickly suggested, "Miss, why don''t you pick out a light-colored tie? Our ties are of the


    highest quality and they would go perfectly with this suit."


    In the video, Marissa nced at the tie section and the man quickly agreed. They walked over to the tie


    section, which was filled with a dazzling array of ties. The man picked out an ivory-colored tie, which


    was quickly wrapped up by the sales girl.


    The salesgirl then suggested, "Miss, why don''t you take a look at our shoes? They''re very important to


    the overall look and can enhance or diminish the impact of the suit."


    I had to give the salesgirl a thumb up, because she was a great at her job.


    Marissa seemed hesitant, replying in a nomittal tone, "Maybe next time. We have other errands to


    run."


    The man immediately cozied up to her, pleading softly, "Honey, I really don''t have shoes that match this


    suit. Could you... help me out?"


    Marissa gave him a sidelong nce, her smile a bit strained. The man quickly spun her around,


    directing her attention to the shoe section.
