Chapter 436: Show Me That
Chapter 436: Show Me That
The clerk quickly came over with a pair of shoes. “I’m so sorry. This pair of shoes is a limited edition. Each franchise store only has one pair of the same size.”
Two women’s hands touched the shoebox at the same time.
Mabel first let go, “Mrs. Bush, since you like it so much, you should take it.”
Crystal held it in her hands, unceremoniously. “Then, thanks for your generosity.”
Mabel smiled, “You are welcome. I can go to other stores to buy.”
When Crystal thought that she and Mabel would give Nathan precisely the same type of shoes, the letters “NC” instantly became ironic in her eyes.
“Excuse me, although there is only one pair of these shoes, there is another brown one with the same size.” The clerk reminded them.
Mabel demanded, “Show me that.”
Soon the clerk took it. The brown looked younger and more fashionable, while the black looked more formal.
Mabel said happily, “Brown is also nice. He will definitely love it. I’ll take this.”
“Okay, please wrap up these two pairs of shoes.” Mabel turned around and smiled at Crystal, “I am so happy to shop with you today. May I give you a treat?”
“No, Miss Garcia, thanks for your kindness.” Crystal looked pale.
“Alright... since it’s a gift for your husband, it’s certainly not appropriate if I pay.” Mabel said with a smile, “It’s so rare that we can meet today. Do you want to have coffee with me?”
“Fine,” Crystal took out her mobile phone, “Can I have your phone number?”
If Nathan really planned to marry Mabel, she could definitely find him through Mabel.
Crystal's fingers were trembling while pressing the phone number...
How was she feeling? Jealous?
It was a kind of pain as if her chest were being pricked by countless needles and the anger that she tried hard to suppress, but it couldn’t stop burning...
Moreover, because she loved him, she had to endure everything and try her best to find all kinds of excuses for him to let herself compromise.
Crystal showed a weird and bitter smile...
Suddenly she understood why Nathan once kept trying to prove her love.
It was because of fear and insecurity.
“Mrs. Bush?” Mabel called her, “Are you okay? I’ve called you so many times, but you didn’t hear it?”
Crystal brought her mind back and saw the clerk handing the shoes to her.
Crystal took it over.
The clerk reminded her, “You haven’t paid the bill yet.”
Crystal felt that her gaffe was so obvious today. Mabel must have noticed it since she was so smart.
After Crystal paid the bill, they walked out of the store tacitly. Several bodyguards were standing dejectedly at the door.
“What’s wrong? Haven’t you found my ring?” Mabel asked.
“Sorry, Miss Garcia... the ring rolled down from the elevator, we are still looking for it.”
Mabel almost couldn’t hold her decent smile, but she still asked gently, “Are you sure you can’t find it?”
“Well... the ring is tiny. If it gets stuck in any gap, it is indeed quite difficult to find it.”
“Blockade the whole mall, look for it.”
“Yes, Miss Garcia.”
Mabel took out her cell phone and called Marcos, asking him to send people here to help her find the ring.
“Marcos, I accidentally lost the ring...”
“The engagement ring.”
“I don’t want to make a new one. I want this one. I like it very much.”
“You must find it back, Marcos...”
Mabel, who was usually polite and decent, suddenly became a little girl when facing Marcos.
“I have finished selecting the wedding dresses and sent them to the villa. There are 18 sets in total...”
“I’ll go back and show you later... Okay, fine...”
After closing the phone, Mabel then realized that Crystal was still standing behind her.
She smiled awkwardly, “Mrs. Bush, you are still here?”
“I lost your ring. How can I leave before you find it?” Crystal had just heard the whole conversation.
“Don’t worry, they will find it soon...”
“I happened to live in your home recently because of certain reasons.” Crystal asked tentatively, “But I have never seen you. Don’t you live there?”
“I’ve been preparing for the wedding recently. You know the layout of the venue is a headache for me, so I live directly in the manor.”
“The manor?”
“Yeah, Garcia’s manor. Our wedding is going to be held there in two months.”
Crystal's brain blasted in two months...
[Give me two months, I will explain everything to you.]
It turned out that ‘the two months’ Nathan referred to was to marry Mabel?
He was not even afraid of death, but he still wanted to marry Mabel before he died!
“I am sorry. I still have a lot of things to do today. Would you mind having coffee another day?” Mabel looked sorry.
“Okay, see you later.”
Crystal said goodbye to Mabel.
The bodyguards who followed Crystal were all left to look for the ring, and only the close servant sent her out of the mall.
Crystal squinted, watching the private car park in front of the square from a distance, and suddenly stopped. “I feel very thirsty now. Go to buy me a bottle of juice.”
“But I need to protect you. I can’t leave you alone here.”
“I will stay here. You can go and come back soon.” Crystal pointed to a milk tea shop and said,
After the servant left, Crystal walked quickly to the road and took a taxi. She did not let the driver leave immediately but asked him to wait in a nearby parking area.
Mabel left all the bodyguards, so no one would pay attention to her. Once Mabel found the ring, she would return to the manor...
Crystal smiled coldly, took out her mobile phone, and opened the MMS message sent by Marcos. Nathan’s hand was photographed in it.
After the picture was enlarged, the ring on that hand was precisely the same as Mabel’s.
Ten minutes later, the servant came out carrying a cup of milk tea. She didn’t see Crystal, but she didn’t dare to say anything, so she went back alone in the private car.
Soon Mabel just came out of the mall with her mighty bodyguards.
“Follow that car.
The taxi followed far away. Mabel had a dozen bodyguard cars on the road, so it was easy for the driver to follow them.
The cars gradually drove to remote areas, with fewer and fewer vehicles on the road. Soon only the taxi in which Crystal was still followed far away…
“Miss Garcia, there seems to be a car following us.”
“Stop it and see who it is.”
Two bodyguard cars turned sharply and drove back.
Crystal knew well about this situation. She must have been suspected, so the bodyguard cars would block the taxi.
The taxi happened to be at an intersection. Crystal asked the driver to change the lane...
When two bodyguard cars drove halfway, they saw the taxi change lanes. Then they were disarmed, thinking that it was just a passing car.
Crystal breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the convoy, which was moving further and further away. “Sir, where does that road lead to?”
“That’s a one-way road. It has been bought privately. Someone has built a house on the top of the mountain.”
Crystal lowered the car window and looked at it. From a distance, the mist lingered in the mountains. There was indeed a majestic mountain villa on the top.
Crystal knew that it must be the Garcia family’s Manor without thinking more about it.
“Well, can we go up the mountain?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t been there yet... But it is said that the road into the mountain is guarded, so it is impossible to enter randomly.”
Crystal squinted, thinking that Nathan must be there.
She wanted to go up but was afraid that she would not be able to get in, but she would only startle the snake.
Besides, she had disappeared for so long. The servant who had returned to the Garcia’s Mansion would inform Marcos, then Nathan would soon know that she was missing.
