Many peoplemented on the trending, with a majority of them ridiculing Laura.

Cold sweat broke out in Laura’s palms. After a while, she calmly unlocked her phone and said, “I’ll ask my uncle toe back. Stay.”

Meriel’s expression quickly changed.

If Louis came, her lie would be exposed.

She feignedposure and said, “We are not interested in wasting our time with you. We’re here to see how bad you look. We’re leaving now.”

After saying that, she dragged ine and drew the curtains.

Then she saw Zayn, Xander, Everett, and Jasper.

Laura’s face darkened. “Zayn! Stop them!”

Zayn immediately blocked Meriel.

Although he did not know what had happened, his expression was solemn and he said coldly, “Your can’t leave.”

“Are you ordering me?” Meriel was surprised.

Furious, Laura covered her stomach and suppressed her anger. “Zayn, ine is wearing my dress! Uncle Louis bought it for me, but they said I was lying. I have to know whether I was wrong or ine stole my dress.”

Zayn and the other three young men suddenly became serious. “They said you were lying?”

Meriel sneered, “Laura, you are so clingy. I’m not wasting my time with you. My time is very precious!” Zayn said disdainfully, “But I heard you had been spending money to get ahead. Stop bragging.” Meriel was angry and shouted, “What?! Did you investigate me?”

Zayn crossed his arms and said coldly, “Ms. Vance, only by knowing the enemy can we win every battle. I happen to know something about you. Don’t you have a monthly sry of 6,000 to 10,000 dors? There is no way you can afford this dress.”

Panic shed across Meriel’s face and she bit her lower lip.

Xander noticed it and his expression became meaningful. “Are you really the person who bought the dress?”

Jasper said sarcastically, “Did you rent it?”

Everett put his hand on the back of his head and said casually, “But since you sounded so confident, you must have a receipt. Show us the

Meriel said calmly, “You’re just a of kids. Why would anyone leave a receipt for such a thing?!”

Sitting on the bed, Laura was furious. “I not

As soon as she finished her words, Louis came in with a bouquet of small teddy bears. “What dress? What are you talking about?”

Laura was overjoyed. “Uncle Louis! You’re finally here!”

Louis tilted his head in confusion and his gazended on ine.

His expression froze slightly. He looked ine up and down and asked, “Why are you wearing the dress I bought for Laura? Is this a fake?”

ine was stunned and looked at herself ridiculously before saying, “Nonsense! My mother bought it

for me!”

Louis was stunned and said in a meaningful tone, “Your mother bought it?”

He looked at Meriel coldly and took out a receipt. “There is only one dress like this in Hestrya. I have the receipt. But why is your daughter wearing the dress I bought? Huh?”

Meriel gasped. She couldn’t believe it.

ine widened her eyes in confusion.

He was the one who had bought the dress?

How was that possible?

Suddenly, Louis’ phone rang.

He answered the phone. Dora said anxiously, “Mr. Yale, do you still have the invoice for the dress you bought L? She just posted a picture of it on Twitter, but now people are using her of lying because a little girl also posted a photo of herself in the same dress.”

He sent the receipt photo over and then took a photo of ine. His eyes were filled with

“Do

He immediately frowned in disgust and said, “Wait a minute. You can have it. I’m not going to keep the dress you have worn. Give me 140 thousand dors and then leave.”

Hearing themotion, a crowd gathered outside the curtains.

ine looked at Louis confusedly and turned to Meriel. “Mom, aren’t you gonna say something?”

Hearing this, Laura looked at Meriel angrily and said, “Yeah! Aren’t you gonna say something? You said you bought this dress. How could you let her wear my dress without my permission?! You are so annoying!”

Meriel was stunned.

She thought, ‘It’s true that Louis bought this dress for Laura?!

‘I just wanted to show off in front of Laura, but it ended up backfiring!’

Louis already knew what was happening. He sneered andforted Laura, saying, “Calm down, honey. I’ll buy you a more expensive dress worth 400 thousand dors, the only one in the world!”

Laura was aggrieved and sobbed, “But I’m so angry that my stomach hurts. I want to cry! But I won’t cry. I am strong!”

But her words made the Smiths all angry.

The malice in Zayn’s eyes grew more intense. He held her in his arms and said, “It’s okay. We will make her pay the price.”

Louis nodded and looked at Merjel fiercely. “You made this go viral online, didn’t you? he asked. “Let’s see how long it will take before you reveal your true colors.”

He approached Meriel and looked at her coldly. “I will present the evidence one by one for everyone to know you are big liars who stole my niece’s dress. Your reputation will be ruined!”

were seen.

Laura’s tear-streaked face was captured by the cameras on their phones.

ine was sitting on the ground in the dress, looking flustered.

Meriel’s face was livid.

Someone had heard their conversation and said in surprise, “What’s the truth? Whose dress is it?”

Louis pointed at ine and said lightly, “It’s Laura’s. She stole it. I have posted the receipt. Check it out on Twitter.”

Then he added with a beaming smile, “Feel free to prove L’s innocence by livestreaming.”

The people outside were enlightened and promptly began livestreaming on TikTok..

Meriel’s breath stopped a second before she tried to run away.

Louis grabbed her wrist and said, “Where are you going?”

His eyes were filled with a homicidal rage as he looked at Meriel.

Laura’s eyes lit up. She turned back to Zayn and said, “Uncle Louis is so awesome! Who would have thought that his butt was bleeding? He doesn’t look like someone with internal and external hemorrhoids at all!”

Louis was dumbfounded.

‘Why would you bring that up at this point, sweetheart?’ he thought.
