Chapter 5

Siobhan Bailey's POV

After the elevator stopped, I walked straight into the Beauty Killer.

It was a world-famous luxury brand and was very popular among the rich ladies nowadays.

I wandered around inside, glancing at the exquisite dresses one by one, and finally fixed my eyes on a light golden dress.

The hemline of the dress was irregular, and the back side was long enough to reach the heels. The hemline of the dress spun a few circles in spiral. The spiral spinning hemline slightly bulged the entire dress, adding a bit of vitality to the simple and elegant dress.

I fell in love with this dress almost at a glance.

"This one." I pointed at the dress and gave a hint to the saleswoman.

The shopping guide introduced with a smile, "this is the new style designed by the chief designer of our Beauty Killer KK this year. It is widely praised in the fashion magazine. You have a good taste."

I nodded, knowing that she had something else to say.

"But the price of this dress is seven figures. I don't know if you..." the shopping guide wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. She even took a meaningful look at my shabby dress.

Kelly Moore rolled her eyes helplessly!

"Since I'm here, I can afford it. Take that one!" I said in a more serious tone.

The shopping guide was in a dilemma. The manager had specially asked her to take care of this dress. If she didn't buy it after trying it on

Thinking of this, the shopping guide slowly took the dress, but when she saw the other side, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ms.Sharon, Ms.Holmes!" The saleswoman was about to burst into laughter.

I also raised my head and saw Sharon Bailey coming in arm in arm with a woman I didn't know.

"Do you two want to see dresses? We have got many new styles here..." the saleswoman explained in front of the two people attentively. Her attitude towards me was totally different from that towards the two of us just now.

In the end, the two stopped in front of the light golden dress I had chosen just now.

The saleswoman described the dresses more carefully for the two of them a. At last, the girl next to Sharon Bailey waved her hand impatiently and said, "don't mention it anymore. Just this one."

The shopping guide took the dress down happily.

"Did you hear that just now? The shopping guide called her Ms.Holmes. She is the lady of the Holmes Group, Beth Holmes. Her brother, Colin Holmes, is the so-called boyfriend of Sharon Bailey." the girl explained in a low voice.

I blinked. Oh, interesting.

Sharon Bailey whispered something in Beth Holmes's ear and ran out in her high heels.

The saleslady's hand that was packing the dress was suddenly pressed by another small hand that stretched out from nowhere.

"It seems that I saw it first, right?" I raised my chin and looked at the saleswoman.

Beth Holmes walked over and asked impatiently, "what's wrong?"

The shopping guide told her what had happened just now.

Beth Holmes snorted and looked at me in disgust. "Just you? Come on. Have you ever seen so much money? Why do you buy luxuries when you are poor? You have no self-knowledge at all!"

I turned my face to Beth Holmes and slowly turned to look at her.

"Do you think I can't afford it?" I said it word by word with a faint smile.

"Look at your poor face!" Although Beth Holmes and Sharon Bailey have a good relationship, I often don't go home, so Beth Holmes seldom meet me.

"Call your manager out." I raised my chin to the shopping guide.

"Wow, you still call me manager? Do you really think of yourself as someone?" Beth Holmes sneered.

The shopping guide didn't move, but the manager seemed to hear the argument and walked out.

"A Beauty Killer also allowed such poor to enter? Don't you want to quit your shop?" As soon as the manager came out, Beth Holmes criticized him without a word, making the manager dare not speak.

"Ms.Holmes, I'm sorry." The manager bowed to Beth Holmes in succession. His flattering look made me feel like a puppy.

"Hurry up and pack up the dress for Ms.Holmes!" The manager snapped at the saleswoman. Instead, he left me alone.

I crossed my arms over my chest, leaned against the counter and looked coldly at the three people in front of me.

"Miss." After a while, the manager finally saw me who had been deliberately ignored by her. "This is not the place you come. There are many shops outside. Our Beauty Killer is not suitable for you. Please go out."

"Oh, I don't know. Our international brand store still has the habit of driving people out." Kelly Moore curled her lips and smiled scornfully. Then she turned to me and said, "I think we'd better leave now. We're not welcome here."

I leaned against there motionless and smiled. "I'd like to see how amazing this place is!"

"Miss, if you keep pestering me, I'll call the security." The manager's face darkened.

Beth Holmes looked at her and inexplicably hated her. She leaned there so calmly as if nothing could pose a threat to her.

"Manager, if you don't kick her out, I'll tell Mr.Bailey to fire you!" Beth Holmes' voice was so sharp that it almost made people's eardrums ache.

"Yes, yes." The manager nodded repeatedly at Beth Holmes, as if she was the owner of this place.

I strode over and pulled down the brooch on the manager's chest.

"What are you doing?" The manager was startled and screamed.

"You don't have to wait for a moment. I can tell you now that you have been, dismissed, hired!"

"How dare you!" The manager frowned and said, "guard! Drive this crazy man out!"

"Because this is my place!" I picked up the exquisitely packaged dress from the counter and handed it to Kelly Moore. "Tear it apart," I said indifferently

I always know that Kelly Moore is very strong. With a slight pull of her hands, the "I can't afford" dress turned into a pile of waste cloth.

I took out my old phone and sent a message. Then I turned to look at them with a smile.

I slowly walked forward, and my canvas shoes directly stepped on the pale yellow cloth, treading on the bed naked.

"Beth Holmes, you can't tell me what to do here!"

Beth Holmes had been brought up in a wealthy family. How could anyone say that? She widened her eyes and pointed at me fiercely. When she was about to scold, she was interrupted by me. "I have a bad temper. You'd better not scold me."

Beth Holmes was so angry that the thick glass door was pushed open again.

"Sharon!" Beth Holmes exploded at the sight of the person. "Is there a lunatic in your shop?"

Sharon Bailey walked up to Beth Holmes worriedly. Seeing that her eyes were red with anger, she felt a little flustered.

Her parents had always told her to have a good relationship with Beth Holmes. After all, this woman was the daughter of Holmes Family!

Ignoring Sharon Bailey, Beth Holmes threw herself into the arms of the man next to Sharon Bailey and cried sadly, "brother, someone bullied me..."

I'm interested in seeing Beth Holmes being so obedient. The sarcastic look in her eyes coincided with the inquiring eyes of Colin Holmes.

I shrugged--

Yes, it's me who bullied your sister.

Sharon Bailey got to know the ins and outs of the matter and complained to me, "sister, how can you do this? Aren't you smashing your own shop's business?"

Beth Holmes stopped crying abruptly and asked in disbelief, "Sharon, what did you say? She's your sister? She's Siobhan Bailey?"

Chapter 6

Sharon Bailey curled her lips and nodded.

Beth Holmes burst into laughter through tears. "Ha ha, I didn't expect you to be so ill bred. You've just been released from prison and you're so restless. Do you want to go in again?"

I don't want to talk to her.

"Sharon is right. It's really a shame for the Bailey Family to have no one to raise you. I've never seen you so..."

Before Beth Holmes could finish her words, her throat was blocked.

Because I hit her

Sharon Bailey was completely stunned. After being stunned for a few seconds, she said in a shrill voice, "sister, can't you talk nicely? What are you doing?"

"That's my principle. Don't talk nonsense."

Beth Holmes covered her face and cried even more sadly. "Brother, brother, did you see that? She hit me!"

Colin Holmes' face was as cold as ice. He would come up and slap himself in the face the next moment.

"Apologize!" Colin Holmes opened his thin lips and said two words coldly.

I rolled my eyes and ignored him.

Sharon Bailey lowered her head and smiled faintly. Colin Holmes had said that Siobhan Bailey was doomed.

"Apologize!" For the second time, Colin Holmes said in a colder tone.

I looked out of the window and turned a deaf ear to him.

"Siobhan Bailey, do you hear me? Apologize to me!" Beth Holmes felt that she had Colin Holmes to vent her anger, as if her face didn't hurt anymore

Colin Holmes and I looked at each other. His eyes were still unfathomable. I curled my lips and turned my head away.

"Beth Holmes, I want you to apologize to Ms.Siobhan."

As soon as Colin Holmes finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the shop.

Even I couldn't help but take a look at him in astonishment. So he asked Beth Holmes to apologize to me?

"Colin..."

"I told you to call me Mr.Holmes."

Looking at the aggrieved expression on Sharon Bailey's face, I felt happy.

Beth Holmes looked at Colin Holmes pitifully. In the Holmes Family, what she feared most was not her parents, Grandpa, but her brother.

"I'm sorry." After a long while, Beth Holmes squeezed out three words.

I was talking to Kelly Moore and ignored him.

"I'm sorry." Beth Holmes raised her voice.

Only then did I suddenly turn my head and look at Beth Holmes. "Are you talking to me? I'm sorry that you should be louder. I didn't hear you clearly."

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Beth Holmes closed her eyes and shouted out three words, "I'm sorry!"

"Well, it's just a child's talk. I don't want to argue with you." I waved my hand generously.

Just as Beth Holmes was about to lose her temper, the thought of Colin Holmes by his side calmed Beth Holmes down.

"Mr.Holmes, thank you so much!" I looked at Colin Holmes with a smile.

"No, you don't have to. It's all my sister's fault." Colin Holmes replied with a smile.

I sighed, "Alas, it's just a pity that this dress... It's not easy to have a favorite..."

"I will pay for this dress. In order to apologize to Ms.Siobhan, I will pay for everything young lady bought today."

"Brother, why..."

Siobhan Bailey's POV

"Shut up!" Colin Holmes interrupted Beth Holmes immediately.

Sharon Bailey's face darkened.

"Mr.Holmes, it's not my fault. It's not Beth's fault alone..." Sharon Bailey was trying to show her gentleness and magnanimity.

"Bailey Family, you are not on your sister's side, but on the other hand, you are on the outsider's side. You are really knowledgeable!" Kelly Moore interrupted Sharon Bailey.

Sharon Bailey's face darkened when she heard Kelly Moore's words.

At this time, the door was pushed open again.

The manager's legs went limp when he saw the man.

Chris Harris pulled his hair and walked in impatiently with a confused look in his eyes. I raised my wrist and looked at the time. I was wondering what time it was. Did he just get up from the bed?

"Siobhan, what's wrong?" Chris Harris walked up to me and leaned against the counter like me.

"I asked you to take care of the Beauty Killer, but you ended up like this?" I squinted and said in a bad tone.

Hearing what I said. Chris Harris, who had been in a coma just now, immediately cheered up.

"I'm quite busy these days, so I'm a little relaxed. How about you go to another shop and have a look? I promise I'll run it well."

"You fired these two people." I pointed at the manager and the clerk who looked down upon me just now.

Chris Harris nodded without asking why.

"young lady... Mr.Harris..." the manager hurriedly bowed t and apologized.

The manager of the Beauty Killer was not an ordinary person. She had an easy job and a high salary. It was not a problem for her to show off or squander money.

he really didn't want to lose this job!

I just stood up and walked out.

Chris Harris also ran out in a hurry. He didn't even greet the others after he came in, as if he only Siobhan Bailey.

"second young lady..." the manager had no choice but to turn to Sharon Bailey, hoping that she could put in a good word for him.

Rolling her eyes, Sharon Bailey looked at Colin Holmes and said softly, "Colin, they look pitiful too. How about you arrange a position for them in the Holmes Group?"

The manager's eyes lit up again. If he could join the Holmes Group... It was worthwhile to be fired today!

A smile appeared on the thin lips of Colin Holmes, which made Sharon Bailey's heart beat faster.

"Do you think the Holmes Group is a shelter?" Colin Holmes stood up and left.

His tall and handsome back exuded an intimidating authority. Sharon Bailey put her hand on her chest with lingering fear, still unable to come back to her senses from the smile just now.

Chapter 7

I went straight to the revolving restaurant of International Trade Building on the top floor.

Chris Harris served me a cup of tea.

I looked at the person in front of me and suddenly couldn't say anything to blame him.

Yes, what can I blame you for? Isn't Chris Harris merciful enough to me?

I have known Chris Harris for a long time. It has been five or six years since I knew him.

I still remember that the first time Siobhan Bailey met Chris Harris was in a nightclub. At that time, Siobhan Bailey was the queen of the nightclub, and many people wanted to take advantage of her. The most outrageous thing was that when they met Chris Harris, someone who was extremely bold actually drugged Siobhan Bailey. If it weren't for Chris, then Siobhan Bailey would have been done. Siobhan Bailey was very grateful to him. I was also grateful to him when I knew it from my memory.

In fact, Bruce Bailey was a poor person before. He had full of ambition, but he couldn't carry it out. Later he met my mother, at that time he was a poor scholar, and became a rich son-in-law. But what made him feel depressed was that he had changed f the family name to Bailey. This matter had always made him sad, but with strong financial support, Bruce Bailey compromised.

And its biggest industry was Beauty Killer.

Before my mother died. She made A will, but I don't know the details. The only thing I know is that Bruce Bailey handed over several Beauty Killer shops in a city to me.

Perhaps it was because Bruce Bailey came from a poor family, although he had money now, he was still very stingy. The pocket money he gave me every month was not enough for me to squander. When I had the source of money under my name, I was really complacent.

Now I recalled how stupid i was at that time. Compared with mother's will, these several shops that seemed to be sky high in the eyes of outsiders were probably not even worth pocket money.

I have no sense of management and I don't care about the shop. Fortunately, the Beauty Killer brand is big. Over the years, these shops haven't been squandered by me.

When I was put into prison, I wrote a book and transferred all these shops to the name of Chris Harris.

I've always regarded Chris Harris as my good friend. I really don't know how to respond to his love. So I have to use this method to make up for the past he has spent on me.

"Chris Harris." I said slowly.

Chris Harris raised his head from the plate and blinked at me.

"I have transferred these shops to your name, which is your property. You don't need to report to me."

The light in Chris Harris's eyes dimmed.

"Siobhan, as I said before, I'll take care of the shop for you. Your things are still yours."

I've heard this sentence many times. It seems that Chris Harris will say it every time he goes to visit the prison.

"Chris Harris, I don't want to owe you so much."

"It doesn't matter." Chris Harris grinned and said, "I owe you too much. Since when have you been so polite to me?"

"But I don't want to now." I looked at him seriously and said, "Chris Harris, it's impossible for us to be together."

Chris Harris wiped his mouth with a tissue and leaned back in the chair.

"Siobhan, I'm in a good mood now that you can call me here today. Don't say those words to disappoint me, okay?"

"I really..."

"Enough!" Chris Harris stood up from his seat and interrupted me abruptly.

His voice was so loud that all the people in the hall could not help turning their heads to look at him.

Apart from me, Chris Harris rarely cared about other people's feelings. Now that he has become the focus, he doesn't care at all.

"You know it clearly..."

I know I like you so much

I didn't interrupt him, nor did I respond. I just stared at him with a pair of black bright eyes.

"Take your time. I'm leaving now." After saying that, he ran away as fast as he could.

I looked at the person who disappeared in the blink of an eye, full of helplessness.

"Do you mind letting me have dinner here?" A clear and magnetic voice sounded faintly above.

As soon as I raised my head, I met a pair of deep eyes of Colin Holmes.

He wore a black shirt and ironed straight suit pants. Perhaps because of the hot weather or something else, the top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his sexy collarbone.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Colin Holmes pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I can see that he likes you." Colin Holmes put his hands on the table and stared at me.

"Okay." I nodded and uttered a syllable.

"How about you?"

I poked the steak on my plate with a fork and pursed my lips without saying anything.

Colin Holmes looked at the delicate and fair face of the girl opposite, saw her biting her lips as if she was embarrassed, and looked at her long eyelashes that were drooping

"I..."

I was stunned by only one word.

Because Colin Holmes put a wisp of my bangs to my ears.

I suddenly raised my head and looked at him in surprise.

Colin Holmes said with a playful smile.

I covered my face and cried in my heart.

What are you laughing at!

Colin Holmes picked up my plate and began to eat elegantly.

"Hey, that's what I have eaten." How could he be so familiar.

Colin Holmes nodded, "I don't mind."

I don't care whether you mind it or not? I'm also hungry, okay?

"Open your mouth." I opened my mouth reflexively, and a piece of fresh and juicy steak had been fed into my mouth.

I think my face can be fried now.

I felt embarrassed and wanted to ask the waiter to bring me a set of tableware.

But not only the waitress was gone, there were only the two in the big restaurant now.

What happened!

Just as I was speechless, ashamed and angry, a "warm" dinner finally came to an end, and Colin Holmes had already sat next to me from across the table.
