Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 445

"I'm wearing heels. It doesn't matter."

Minerva ambled towards the mannequin calmly. After pondering for a while, she said to Vera, "Don't come in. Get me a pair of gloves first."

Vera originally wanted to go in, but she went to take the gloves for Minerva after listening to her words.

There were only Kelly and Minerva left at the scene.

Kelly finally calmed herself down. She wiped away the tears on her face and looked at Minerva, "You're going to pick up the outfit? But... the outfit has been torn apart. It doesn't serve the purpose anymore even if you do so."

Minerva threw her a glance.

"Who said that it doesn't serve the purpose anymore?"

Kelly was stunned by her words. "What do you mean?"

"Don't lose hope," Minerva's expression was calm as she scrutinized the surroundings. She then said in a low voice, "Tell me how you discovered this scene."

"I..." Kelly puckered her lips and felt awkward for a while. "I was overjoyed yesterday, thus I invited everyone for a drink, and then... this is my first work displayed in the exhibition hall. I felt happy even though no one took notice of it. So... I returned and took a look at the dress. It was all good yesterday night. However, it turned out to be in such a manner when I came to have a look this morning. I think Vera is right. Someone might have broken into the building to commit burglary."

"Burglary?" Minerva laughed in a subdued voice. "Do you think... the burglar will cause such a scene?"

Kelly paused for a while, "What do you mean?"

"A thief will normally enter the place to steal something. But what's the hassle of turning this place into a mess?"

Kelly blinked. "Perhaps the burglar was angry because there was nothing to steal in this company?"

"If you are a thief and you are here to steal, will you smash all the glass and the rest of the things furiously to attract the nearby residents in the middle of the night?"

"No, how could I be so foolish? It would cause great noise and attract attention easily."

As Kelly spoke, she suddenly paused and thought of something.

"Could it be... no one broke in to steal something? It's just..." Her eyes widened as she stared at Minerva.

Minerva didn't answer her questions. At this moment, Vera handed over the gloves to her. After she put them on, she bent down and gently patted the pieces of glass away from the outfit, and then took the gown from the pile of debris.

When she came out with the outfit, Vera and Kelly wanted to take it over, yet Minerva frowned. "Don't touch it. There may still be shards of glass in it.

Don't get your hand hurt."

Therefore, Vera and Kelly waited at the side.

After searching for an empty spot, Minerva put down the gown and took off her gloves.

"Minerva, your leg is bleeding," Vera noticed that there were a few bloodstains on the side of her fair ankle. Minerva didn't bother with it as she didn't feel any pain. "It doesn't matter. There might be many hidden glasses in the outfit. We need to find it."

Kelly squatted down beside her with a crestfallen look.

"But what can we do after we find it? This dress has been damaged, and... the press conference Helen is going to attend will be in a few days' time. We don't have time to produce a new one, do we?"
