CHAPTER 487 YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT

A stillness as of death hung over the place.

The onlookers were stunned by what they had seen.

Some of them even held their breath.

They only remembered Alina as a weak and sick person. She was always submissive.

They couldn't even imagine what Alina was like when she got angry.

However, Alina had completely overturned their impression of her just now.

Leo's lips curled into a smile. He seemed to have seen this coming.

Alina finally took the most crucial step in her life.

She had learned how to be angry.

Anger made people brave.

Anger also made people strong.

That was what Leo had mentioned just now, "the best birthday gift he gave to Alina".

"Argh... My hair."

Emilie lay on the ground in a fluster, screaming for attention.

Seeing the cuts and wounds on her arms and body, Emilie was as shocked as angry.

"How dare you hit me?"

Emilie stood up, burning with anger. She quickly strode to Alina.

Alina had just woken up. She was surprised that she would actually stand up for herself now.

Seeing the scattered diamond on the ground woke Alina's anger again.

"I know you've always been bullying me because I'm weak and sick. You always make fun of me, but I

don't care. I swallowed your insult and have been used to it. However, I won't do that again this time,

because you've ruined Mr. Cohen's gift for me."

Alina didn't seem afraid at all and walked straight to Emilie. Her eyes were brimming with tears. She

smoldered with resentment.

"I begged you not to do that. Why did you still have to tear it up? Do you really think I'm still the

pushover I used to be?"

The flame of rage flared in Alina's eyes. She stared at Emilie, as if she and Emilie were the only ones

left at that place.

Emilie suddenly stopped walking over and began to retreat.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Emilie suddenly felt a bit afraid.

"Do you know what the necklace and the wedding gown meant to me? You've ruined both of them!

How are you going to make up for me? You could never afford the price even if you sell yourself!"

"Calm down, Alina."

Zain tried to stop Alina as cold sweats oozed out of his forehead.

He had realized a severe issue.

Alina had a heart attack. She would be out of breath after running a few steps. Also, intense mood

swings would kill her.

That was why there were so many people bullying her. They knew that no matter how harsh they were

at her, she would never resist because she was too sick.

However, things were different now. Alina's heart disease had started to recover.

She would never let anyone bully her again.

"Get out of my way."

Alina's expression was frigid.

Finally, Zain made way for her, and so did everyone else.

Alina walked over to Emilie and slapped heavily on her face.

"Argh!"

Alina smacked so hard that Emilie screamed in pain.

Emilie couldn't help taking a few steps back because it was hard to keep balance on high heels.

Suddenly, she stumbled over a piece of glass and twisted her ankle. She fell backward.

Behind her was a big cake that had been cut halfway.

"Be careful!"

Crack! Crack!

Emilie fell onto the cake. The cream and fruit immediately crashed on her.

"Argh..."

The cream covering her body made Emilie totally lose control. She let out an indignant outcry.

Alina cast an indifferent look at her. Only in this way could Alina vent the anger in her heart.

The onlookers couldn't help but shiver when seeing what had just happened.

Alina, the pushover that everyone could step on, was gone.

"What happened?"

Hearing Emilie's screams, Ernie and Kasper came as quickly as they could.

However, as soon as they walked into the place, they were stunned by what they saw. Emilie, who was

supposed to celebrate her birthday, was covered with cream and cake. Alina, who used to be weak and

submissive, was glaring at Emilie with a sullen face.

Even Ernie and the others were in a daze. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Seeing Albi was here, Emilie could no longer hold back her tears. She wept in a grievance, "Dad, Alina

is so over the line! She just hit me!"

The corners of Albi's eyes twitched as he heard that. He could also tell by himself that his daughter

wasn't the bully here. Alina was mistreating his daughter.

He pulled a long face instantly and glared at Alina. "You are sisters! How could you hit her?"

Alina changed her color, but she still insisted on explaining, "She pushed me too far. She ripped apart

my wedding gown and snapped my necklace."

Albi was about to rebuke her, yet Leo butted in, "I can testify. Alina was doing this just to protect

herself."

"If you want to stand up for this woman, you'd better finish one thing first."

Before they could reply, Leo pointed to the two broken pieces of Angel's Tears on the ground and the

YC Wedding-dress on Alina, then he smirked, "The wedding gown your daughter just ripped off was

worth 12 million, and this necklace, Angel's Tears, was worth 5 million. That's 17 million in total. Now,

would you like to pay them in credit card or cash?"

Albi's face turned ashen in anger when he heard the number.

Emilie barked in a fury, "You've already sent the necklace and wedding gown to Alina! Why are you still

asking us to pay for it?"

Leo didn't seem angry at all. He put on a smile and explained, "I did want to give them to Alina, but I

still haven't paid for them yet. The necklace and wedding gown was brought here for the shop owner

for Alina to try on. Now that you've broken both of them, I think it's reasonable to ask you to pay for

them."

"What?"

Emilie's and Albi's expressions changed drastically when they heard that.

"You tricked me!"

Emilie glared at Leo.

Leo sneered, "Your jealousy has been eating you. Don't try to imitate her by wearing a wedding gown,

because you're not pretty enough to look like a princess! You will only humiliate yourself!"

"You!"

Emilie was rendered speechless by Leo's words.

Just by then, two men behind Nadine walked up, one after another. They looked very upset.

"I'm the manager of the shop owning YC Wedding-dress." Original from .

"I'm the manager of Cartier."

"You should pay for our loss, now!"

"In addition to the 17-million value of the two things added, you should also pay for our labor fees and

mental compensation. That would be 20 million in total!"

Kasper took a step back and said, "I'm going to leave you to this."

He said as he took Louie and walked aside.

Ernie stood there with a frigid face. He didn't seem to have the intention to stand out at all.

He knew that his daughter had been mistreated badly, but he had never been able to stop them.

Now it seemed impossible for him to help her.

Emilie sulked and growled back, "What if I didn't pay you back?"

Actually, it wasn't because she really didn't want to pay them back. It was because she had run out of

money.

She was living paycheck to paycheck. Thus, she didn't have any savings.

Emilie was lavish in spending money, because that was how Albi raised her. Albi's basically living like

Emilie.

Neither of them could afford 20 million now.

Leo scoffed when hearing that, "Then there's no other way. I remember Alina just said that you wouldn't

be able to afford this even if you sold yourself. Now that you can't afford this, we should really consider

selling you."
