Goodbye, My Wretched Love

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Showcasing Her Acting Skil

The spectators realized what was going on.

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

Claire smirked at Sierra.

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

The onlookers burst out laughing.

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 dollars.

Sierra was a successful 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 Claire buy the dress but never thought her plan would backfire.

Sierra was at a loss.She wanted to tear Claire 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 glared at Claire.

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

"Fine.I'll buy it!"

Just then, Darren walked toward her.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢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 glanced at Claire.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 saleslady, 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 Claire raised the price to one million."

Sierra sniffed and looked at Claire.

"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 relationship 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, Claire already started dating a wealthy man.

Besides, Darren openly admitted his relationship with Sierra.

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

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

Besides, Claire was also in a relationship 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 Claire with disdain.

Claire'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 will laugh at you if you admit you can't afford it.Stop pretending to be innocent! It's disgusting!"

"I don't mean to blame 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?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Bile rose in Claire'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?"

Claire 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 Claire.She sneered and grabbed the dress.

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