Chapter 5

Was she out of her mind, actually wanting to divorce a rich guy like Leopold?

Agnes pinched the corner of her clothes and said embarrassedly, "Yeah, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, please keep this on the down-low for us."

When Kevin returned, Leopold had just finished paying for Ella.

Leopold's cold eyes lingered on Kevin's slightly dazed face for half a second, then swept over to Agnes, who was clinging to Justin's arm, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

She really wasn't a good woman.

Thinking about how he had been kissed by such a woman that day, Leopold's face darkened. "Kevin, I don't care what your deal with her is. Get her out of Sunrise International Shopping Mall right now! Someone like her doesn't deserve to be here!"

He didn't get a chance to deal with her last time, but he wasn't letting her off the hook this time!

Kevin snapped back to reality and followed Leopold's gaze.

Agnes was clinging to Justin's arm, acting all cutesy, "Justin, will you buy me that lipstick? I really want that lipstick. Look, her boyfriend bought it for her."

She was trying to channel her inner Grace Lopez from their school, acting all flirty.

Justin clutched his chest, looking at Agnes shaking his arm in despair, "Agnes, what happened to you? Don't freak me out!"

Was Agnes really acting all cutesy? Judging by everyone else's shocked faces, it was clear how unbelievable this was.

"Justin, I really like that lipstick. Please buy it for me!" Agnes's smile was already stiff. If Leopold didn't leave soon, she was gonna lose it.

To gain her freedom, Agnes forced herself to act all cutesy.

Agnes's thought process was this: she had once kissed Leopold and was now acting all cutesy with another guy. If one day Leopold found out her true identity and saw her as such an unfaithfulwoman, wouldn't the divorce go more smoothly?

"I'll buy it, I'll buy it." Justin would buy anything to stop Agnes from acting crazy.

With trembling hands, Justin grabbed all the lipsticks in front of him and handed them to the sales clerk, "Check out! Hurry." His heart couldn't take it anymore.

He would send Agnes to a mental hospital as soon as he finished paying!

Only Kevin probably knew that Agnes was acting. He quietly replied to Leopold, "But, Mr. Neville..."

"Kevin, Mr. Neville has already spoken. Why aren't you acting?" Ella interrupted Kevin, finally feeling relieved. She thought Leopold was kicking Agnes out because of her.

In Leopold's eyes, she was indeed different from other women.

"But Mr. Neville, she is..." The person he was about to kick out was the wife of the owner of Sunrise International Shopping Mall! Was Leopold sure he didn't want to reconsider?

A sharp look swept over him, and Kevin said no more. He immediately ordered the bodyguards behind him, "Quick, get them out!"

Agnes had been paying attention to the commotion over here. Hearing that they were going to be kicked out? Perfect, she didn't want to buy these things anyway!

"No need for you to bother, we're leaving right now!" Agnes immediately said, taking the lipsticks the sales clerk was about to check out and putting them back. She didn't forget to pull the nearest Justin and Clara and quickly left the store.

Leopold watched Agnes, his dark eyes flashing with doubt as she continued to act so strangely.

Ella glanced at Agnes's back a few more times before composing herself and taking Leopold's arm. She spoke softly, "Mr. Neville, I'm hungry. Can we go to the fifth floor of Alioth?"

Leopold gave a command, "Kevin, lead the way!"

Kevin shook off all his doubts and quickly walked ahead to lead the way.

At the entrance of Merak, Agnes suddenly stopped and looked at Justin, "Justin, did you just say you wanted to go to the fifth floor of Alioth?"

Justin immediately took a step back, "Agnes, let's talk this out. I've spent all my pocket money on games; I can't afford to treat you!"

"I'll treat you to dinner on the fifth floor of Alioth!" Agnes said.

Agnes blurted out something wild, and Justin just flopped into Jeremy's arms like a drama queen. "Jeremy, has Agnes lost her mind or what?"

Jeremy was just as confused, scratching his head. Agnes was definitely acting off today.

Bella, on the other hand, just gave Justin a nudge with her foot. "Dude, Agnes's car's worth a cool million; she can totally afford to eat on the fifth floor of Alioth. It's not that crazy."

Justin thought about it and nodded. "Yeah, maybe. But the fifth floor of Alioth isn't just any place; you need a reservation. It's already mealtime, and they might be booked solid."

He wasn't trying to look down upon Agnes; he was just stating the facts.

When his dad invited VIPs here, they had to book a month, sometimes even three months in advance!

Agnes was lost in her thoughts. Before she saw Leopold, she was happy. But now, seeing her husband shopping with Ella and splurging on her, she was displeased.

That lipstick set was $26,000. And those bags Kevin was lugging around—if she guessed right—were worth thousands, maybe tens of thousands!

Leopold gave her a hefty allowance every month, but she always saw herself as a student and didn't ask for much. The rest seemed to be saved by Robert, and she didn't care about it.

Agnes had never splurged on herself like that, but Ella just had to say the word, and Leopold'd buy her anything. As Leopold's legit wife, why should she be the one pinching pennies? Why save money for him?

Anyway, they were getting divorced, so why not live it up while she still could?
