But Cedrick shielded Maricela behind him and told the clerk, “You don’t have to pay for the medical bills. This little scratch is nothing. As for the elderly lady…”

Cedrick looked at Mrs. Radford and Lucille, “Grandma, how about I take you to the hospital for a check–up?

I’ll pay for it, and for the scare you had.”

“Shut up!”

Lucille’s eyes were filled with hatred, “Do you think we’re short on cash?”

Cedrick was stunned. True, with Robert around, money was the least of their worries.

The shop owner arrived then, also quite shaken, and said hurriedly, “Maybe we should just call the police?”

Mainly, she had heard what happened and didn’t want her shop to take the blame. It was clearly the customer trying on the dress who caused the trouble. Even though they said the shop wasn’t responsible now, who knew if they’d change their minds later?

So, it was better to call the police!

Maricela grabbed Cedrick’s clothes, her eyes filled with panic.

At this point, it wasn’t about whether to call the police or not anymore.

She just wanted Lucille’s grandma to get hurt, even getting knocked out would have been fine. As long as she couldn’t talk for a while. Later, she could figure out a way to make the old woman stay silent forever. Who would have thought Cedrick would interfere!

But Cedrick just thought she was nervous about the police. He was actually a bit worried Lucille wouldn’t let it go. This was the second time a police report was involved between Lucille and Maricela. Last time, it took him a lot of effort to get Lucille to drop the charges.

He had seen the whole thing clearly. Although the clerk knocked down the ornament, the root cause was Maricela bumping into the clerk.

“Lucille.”

He braced himself and pleaded with Lucille, “I’ll take full responsibility for what happened today, After all, Mari…”

He couldn’t bring himself to say the words “is pregnant.” He hesitated, then swallowed them back. “It was an accident, after all. Name your price, I’ll agree to anything.”

Lucille looked at him, not surprised at all.

When he had to choose between her and Maricela, he always chose Maricela. It was an unchanging law.

She just smiled, a smile that even Cedrick found a little creepy.

Lucille was heard laughing, “It seems my husband will stop at nothing to protect his mistress and their bastard child!”

Earlier, when she was talking to Cedrick about some contract and getting married, she wasn’t loud. Not many people heard, probably just the person arranging Maricela’s dress. But now, she was speaking very loudly, making no effort to hide it.

Everyone in the shop was instantly shocked, shooting daggers at Cedrick and Maricela. The whispers couldn’t be contained anymore.

“What?

She’s really the mistress with an illegitimate son?”

“Oh my god!

Mistresses are so brazen these days?

Daring to come and buy a wedding dress?”

“Yeah, she kept insisting on the red one earlier. No wonder she was so obsessed!”

“Such bad juju, how did we get stuck with this order!”
