Chapter 108: Upon receiving Francene''s call, Mny quickly dragged Colton to the Skylight shopping center.


    Upon entering the store, they immediately saw Allison standing confidently, arms crossed, appearingpletely unfazed.


    Allison What are you doing here Mny asked, her voice soft but filled with barely concealed frustration.


    How was it possible that Allison was always everywhere, seemingly unfazed by whatever chaos pursued her? Meanwhile, Francene, upon noticing Colton and Mny''s arrival, became even more arrogant.


    If you know what''s good for you, give me the dress! Francene exploded.


    Don''t you see who my son-inw is? He''s the CEO of the Stevens Group.


    If you make him angry, you will regret it.


    Then she pulled Mny to her side, trying to impose even more dominance.


    “Mny, darling, this dress is my wedding gift to you,” she added, a smug smile spreading across her face.


    Look how exquisite it is.


    Wear it to the ceremony and you will be the most stunning bride in all of Ontdale.


    But there are people, he scoffed, "who don''t know when to back out.


    " However, Colton wasn''t paying attention to the dress or even to Mny.


    His eyes were fixed solely on Allison.


    She was dressed in a casual but refined outfit, projecting an air of power through simplicity.


    The cold indifference he gave off made her feel almost untouchable.


    Despite all the talk about her uing marriage, Allison hadn''t even looked in his direction, acting as if the entire situation was beneath her.


    Feeling a wave of frustration, Colton spoke, his voice turning cold.


    Allison, you really need to take Mny''s dress.


    It''s important for the wedding.


    Why don''t you pay me back.


    I''ll pay you double.


    Allison looked at him, her expression icy, a mocking smile curling her lips.


    Ah, Mr.


    Stevens.


    Arrogant and stupid as always.


    It''s impressive, really.


    But money doesn''t interest me.


    His voice cut the air like a de.


    He turned to the store manager.


    Pick up the dress.


    The store manager, who had been silently observing the exchange, understood the dynamic very well.


    While the Stevens family wielded power, the Green family was just as formidable.


    And it was clear that Allison and Reba had imed the dress first.


    "Right now!" the attendant said quickly, preparing to wrap the dress.


    Colton''s face darkened as he looked at Allison.


    This dress is a gift from Francene to Mny.


    It''s for him to wear to our wedding.


    He was sure that despite Allison''s distant behavior, she still cared about him.


    He was convinced that his actions were motivated by jealousy.


    His brow furrowed.


    Allison, if you really can''t stand Mny, go for something else.


    But not this dress.


    Allison''s eyes sparkled with amusement, as if she couldn''t believe what she was hearing.


    Even Reba couldn''t help but burst outughing at her assumption.


    Allison, have you heard that? Reba said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.


    Some people really think that we are just here to ruin their wedding.


    What a joke.


    We got there first.


    Allison sighed theatrically.


    What''s going to be done Nowadays there are ignorant clowns everywhere.


    I''m used to it.


    Then she turned her attention to Colton, her voice high-pitched.


    Mr.


    Stevens, it''s bad enough that you don''t know right from wrong, but now you''re blocking my way.


    He ns to stay on the road again waiting to be run over.


    Or maybe, he added, narrowing his eyes, you long for another trip to the warehouse.


    Her words cut through him like a knife.


    I didn''t know you could stoop so low, Mr.


    Stevens.


    After all the losses he''s suffered, he still thinks I care about his wedding.


    Ridiculous.


    Colton''s face paled as he remembered his recent humiliations.


    Still, Francene supported him; He couldn''t back out now.


    Sensing the growing tension, Mny intervened quickly, her voice soft and seemingly innocent.


    As much as you dislike it, Allison, please don''t ruin my special day.


    This dress is a gift from my mother.


    I can leave you anything else, but not this.


    Her expression was delicate, as if she were the real victim in all of this.


    Reba rolled her eyes at Mny''s pretentious performance, and her patience wore thin.


    He raised his hand, ready to reason with her, when someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.


    It was Sherman, Ken''s assistant.


    Miss Green, Miss rke, my pleasure.


    Mr.


    Lloyd was on his way upstairs and happened to notice you.


    Allison looked up and saw Ken in his wheelchair, watching the scene with a bewildered expression.


    "Don''t stoop to his level," Ken said in a loud voice.


    low, with a funny tone.


    Miss Green, if you hit her, you''ll only get the attention you seek.


    Ken''s sudden arrival had an immediate effect.


    He gave a sharp smile to the store manager.


    They let anymon riff-raff shop here.


    The manager, already nervous, turned pale.


    Mr.


    Lloyd…I didn''t know…, he stammered, breaking out in a cold sweat.


    Colton, still not wanting to back down, spoke again.


    Mr.


    Lloyd, you''vee to take what''s mine.


    Ken didn''t even look at him.


    Instead, he looked at Sherman, who nodded subtly.


    “cklist them,” Ken said calmly.


    I never want to see them in any of our luxury stores again.
