Chapter 319:
âI remember you liked the latest modern Eastern trends, so Iâve reserved a few globally exclusive items just for you.â
Skyla gestured for the tablet to be put aside.
âThereâs no rush today. Weâre here to focus on my daughter. Letâs find some outfits for her.â
Skyla knew her daughterâs talents in design, so she didnât bother asking for the newest seasonal items right away.
âWould you like me to have a model showcase the outfits?â the assistant asked.
Skyla looked at Harlee.
âWhat do you think?â
Harlee shook her head.
âNo, thanks. Iâd rather see the clothes on the rack.â
âVery well,â the assistant replied and then proceeded to lead the way, explaining the features of each item with great expertise and enthusiasm.
Harlee browsed through the clothing without much expression, methodically scanning a long line of attire.
Skyla, still energetic, happily chose pieces she thought Harlee might like.
âLook at this one. The embroidery is crafted by a renowned artisan. It suits your complexion beautifully,â Harlee commented.

Upon hearing this, Skyla quickly had the assistant prepare the item for purchase.
âPlease pack up all the embroidered pieces.â Observing Harleeâs momentary interest, Skyla inferred her fascination with embroidery and decided to buy the garments for her to examine at home.
At the same time, Angela and her mother, Lillie Hilton, were in the VIP room examining sample dresses. They had chosen the same one, knowing Belinda had a penchant for embroidery and intending to give the dress to her as a gift.
As the assistant was preparing for a model to showcase the dress, they discovered Skyla had already acquired all the embroidered items.
Returning to the VIP area, the assistant approached with a polite smile.
âMrs.
Hilton, I apologize, but Mrs. Sanderson from the Sanderson Group has taken all our embroidered pieces. Weâre unable to have them modeled at the moment.
But donât worry. Iâll ensure you receive the next batch of embroidered items as soon as they arrive.â
The assistant promptly disclosed the situation, avoiding any misrepresentation.
Upon hearing this, Lillieâs expression grew stern. She remembered a past grievance from the Sanderson familyâs gathering and felt a surge of vengeful thoughts, her hand tightening on a napkin.
Angelaâs gaze flickered with malice as she smiled and asked, âDid Mrs. Sanderson come alone, or is her daughter with her?â
âMrs. Sanderson is accompanied by Miss Sanderson. They are currently outside looking at other garments.â
