A Crazy One-night Stand
Chapter 23: Finding Fault With Me

Alina lifted the hem of her dress and went to the bathroom quickly. She didn't want Wilson to wait for a long time. The hem of the dress dragged on the ground, so she had to roll up the hem a few times to avoid dirtying the dress. After Alina used the bathroom, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she went to the sink to wash her hands. "What's wrong with you?" An unfamiliar woman standing nearby glared at Alina fiercely.

Alina turned to her. The woman pointed at a few drops of water on her dress.

Alina frowned, she didn't do anything to her. "Miss, are you referring to me?"

The woman was infuriated at Alina's words and raised her voice. "Yes, you! Are you blind? Can't you dry your hands properly instead of flinging water everywhere? Look at my dress! You've soiled my dress with the dirty water from your hands. Are your hands even clean? Who knows if it was water or something else disgusting?"

"Miss Marie, this woman has no manners. Let's teach her a lesson!" Two women dressed in evening gowns appeared.

One of them said in a shrill voice, "You are right. Miss Marie, we can't let this slide so easily. She looks like a civilised person but she doesn't even know how to dry her hands properly. What a pity!" Alina furrowed her brow and tried to explain herself, "Miss, I'm afraid you must be mistaken."

After she had washed her hands, she dried her hands under the dryer. How could she have splattered water on her? This woman was obviously replaceing fault with her. Suddenly, Anne's face flashed in her mind. It was very possible that Anne engaged these women to embarrass her. What should she do?

After considering her options, the best solution was to avoid any confrontation. Alina tried to leave the scene.

She didn't expect that these women would stop her from leaving. They were there to replace fault with her, it was obvious that they would not let her go. One of them grabbed Alina's arm and cried out, "Trying to leave after dirtying Miss Marie's clothes? You must be poorly brought up!"

"What do you want?" Alina's expression was dark, "I've told you that it wasn't me who dirtied her clothes. After washing my hands, I dried my hands at the dryer. How could I splatter any water on her?" "Don't try to argue with us. We all saw with our own eyes that you splattered Miss Marie's dress with water. What's more, there is no one else here except you." The other woman came over and gripped Alina's arm as well.

Alina shook them off and stared at the woman who was called 'Miss Marie'. "So, what do you want?"

"Pay up!" 'Miss Marie' demanded arrogantly as she looked at Alina with disdain. "This dress is custom-tailored by the famous French designer, Morga. By the looks of it, you won't be able to afford the full price of my dress. I'll give you a discount of five million dollars as compensation!"

Again, five million dollars? Alina felt as if this specific number constantly haunted her.

"What, are you scared? I don't mind if you don't compensate me! Take off your gown in exchange for mine, then you don't have to pay anything!" 'Miss Marie' said mockingly. The two women beside her laughed scornfully.

Alina gave her an icy stare and said each word firmly, "I won't give you even a penny. I won't put up with false accusations."

"Did you hear that? Did you hear what she said? She said that she would not compensate me! Why are you two still standing there in a daze? Take off her clothes!" 'Miss Marie' smirked and instructed the two women in a cold voice.

The two women beside her pounced on Alina and tugged on her dress.

Alina grappled with the two women who were trying to pull off her dress. She had to fend them off while keeping her clothes on. However, she was frail and there were two of them against her. Alina was overpowered and at a disadvantage.

She wracked her brain, trying to think of a way to get away while fighting against them.

At this moment, Wilson's face came to her mind. She hoped that he would appear like a knight in shining armour to save her, but she knew better. He said that he would be waiting in the car for her. Suddenly, a male voice rang out sternly. "What are you doing?"

Alina looked up and saw Wilson. She was overjoyed, but the next second, she shook her head. It must be an illusion!¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
