Chapter 18 Buying a Dress
At the hospital, upon hearing the news, Cathy was so furious that her eyes became bloodshot.
Which damn guy leaked this news? No, it must be that bitch Blanche.
Now the whole world knew that Louis got married and married Blanche.
This was clearly a secret marriage that would soon dissolve, but now it was known throughout the world.
Cathy was so angry that she looked at the small cut on her body and lifted her cold lips, leaving the hospital. "Blanche, I won't spare you." She thought to herself.
Doris' banquet was coming up and she had to pick a dress that would impress everyone.
...
This clothing store was very high-end. Every piece of clothing was so beautiful that Clara couldn't take her eyes off them.
"Wow, these clothes are so beautiful. They truly are big brands."
The clerk came forward. "These are all new styles in our store. Please feel free to look around, ladies."
Blanche walked towards a light blue fishtail dress and touched its texture. The material was silky smooth, and when worn on a model, it was especially eye-catching.
"I'll try on this dress."
"Madam, you have excellent taste. This dress is our store's finest piece."
"Just then, Blanche heard murmurs behind her. When she turned around, she saw several women browsing through clothes in the store gossiping about her."
"She is the ugliest girl in Cloud City, Blanche. Look, she's even wearing a mask."
"Have you seen the news? This woman is so vicious. She replaced Jesse and married the young master of the Herbart family, Louis, who wasn't even handicapped. Now she's Mrs. Herbart."
"That was such big news, so how could I not have seen it? Louis wasn't handicapped, and he still married this ugly woman. What's going on? It's so infuriating."
Clara was protective of Blanche and couldn't take it anymore. She hurriedly defended her.
"You're talking nonsense. I think you're the ugly ones. You're the vicious ones. Mrs. Herbart is not ugly at all, or vicious at all."
However, Clara's words not only didn't deter them, but also aroused the anger of these wealthy women.
"Oh, would you look at that? It's Mrs. Herbart, putting on airs like she's royalty. But let's be real. With her appearance, she couldn't even sweep the floors at the Herbart family's estate without scaring other people."
Clara's face turned red with anger. These women were obviously wealthy ladies, yet their words were so unkind.
"Miss Bird is here."
Cathy suddenly appeared at the entrance of the shop, and a sales associate warmly greeted her. It was obvious that Cathy was a regular customer at this store.
Upon seeing Blanche, a hint of jealousy flashed across Cathy's eyes.
Blanche took the dress first.
"Sorry, I have already chosen this dress. If you like it, you'll have to wait until I'm done trying it on."
Blanche went to the fitting room, and Clara stood guard at the door.
"Huh, an ugly woman wants to wear beautiful clothes. It's just ridiculous. No matter how beautiful the dress is, she'll still be a clown when she wears it. Miss Bird, don't be upset."
The wealthy woman tried to comfort Cathy, who didn't get the dress.
Cathy's expression twisted slightly and her nails dug into her palm. Blanche dared to compete with her for a dress. No, this dress could only belong to her.
She looked at the store manager.
"I want the dress she tried on."
Three minutes later, Blanche had tried on the dress, opened the door, and surprisingly, the dress looked amazing on her. Her fair skin, slim waist, and long legs were so eye-catching.
The people in the store were surprised.
"Mrs. Herbart, you look so beautiful in that dress. I want to take a few pictures of you." Clara took out her phone and snapped some pictures of Blanche.
"I'm sorry, Miss Kent. There was a misunderstanding just now. Miss Bird had already reserved this dress. I forgot about it. Please change out of the dress quickly." However, at this moment, the store manager walked up.
