Chapter 106
“Doesn’t Page look like a rich person!” Zea asked
Moira replied, “I’ve seen photos of her and her husband from their younger days. They were just an ordinary family
Zea thought for a moment and remarked, “But even if Virgil is a senior executive at Morton Group, do you think Conrad would listen to an employee and put the Whalescape’s president in jail or help him take on the Mitchell Group!”
Recalling the “Mr. Morton‘ she had heard that night, Moira hesitated before replying, “Maybe Virgil is just very capable. He often travels abroad to represent the company, and Conrad values him very much.”
Moira thought of something and added. “Or it could just be a coincidence. Maybe we’re overthinking it.”
Zea felt that too many coincidences usually pointed to something deliberate. But seeing Moira’s reluctance to continue the discussion, she relented. “Since you’ve seen his childhood photos, Virgil definitely isn t Conrad.”
Zea quickly changed the subject and said, “That woman dared to orchestrate a kidnapping and attempted assault. She’s probably done a lot of other bad things in the past. And this time, she has messed with the wrong person
Moira nodded slightly. “That’s what I think, too.”
“So, where should we go next? Fea asked. She believed that the whole point of an outing was to shop.
Having recently come into a large sum of money, Moira figured she could treat herself to a new bag or some jewelry as a reward.
But she wasn’t particularly interested in that stuff. Her wardrobe was already full, and she didn’t need anything else.
Therefore, Moira bought two outfits and a designer bracelet for her mother.
After paying and receiving the bag from the salesgirl, she was about to head downstairs with Zea when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She found herself staring at a business suit displayed on a mannequin in the window.
Following her gaze, Zea immediately understood. “Do you want to go in and take a closer look?”
Moira nodded lightly, so they went into the store together.
“Welcome!” A salesperson quickly approached them and asked enthusiastically, “Are you ladies shopping for your boyfriend! What color and style are you looking for? I can make some recommendations.”
Za
spoke up first. “My friend wants to buy something for her husband. Can you show us the sult in the window
The salesperson The associate turned to Moira and asked, “Ma’am, what size does your husband wear! I’ll get it for you”
Moira wasn’t sure about Virgil’s size, but she felt the one in the window should fit well
“Please bring me that one,” Moira said.
“No problem.” The salesperson promptly removed the entire suit from the mannequin and handed it to Moira.
“Ma’am, you have great taste. This suit just arrived two days ago, and we only have five in total. This size is the only one left in our store, and it’s out of stock in nearby locations, too,” said the salesperson.
Zea ran her hand over the fabric. “It feels pretty good”
Moira agreed and glanced at the price tag.
“1,200 dollars!” Zea exclaimed in shock.
The salesperson stated, “This is one of our premium suits. If you find it too pricey, I can show you some more affordable options. How about I bring but two for you to compare?”
Moira remained calm. After confirming the suit was of good quality, she handed it back and said. Take this one
Zea widened her eyes at her friend.
Moira took out her bank card and handed it to the salesperson to process the payment. The salesperson was thrilled and quickly took the card.
Zea leaned in and said in a low voice, “That dress you tried on just now was only 300 dollars, and you hesitated to buy it. But now you’re happily spending 1,200 dollars on a suit! Moira, be honest with me. Have you fallen for Virgil
