Chapter 43
Rebecca and Debra pulled into the parking garage beneath the Imperial Mall and headed inside.
Two nannies pushed baby strollers behind them, with Lily and Kev lying inside, observing the beautiful mall with their mom and grandma.
Rebecca and Debra browsed the mall from the outside in, checking out highâquality stores. If they found something they liked, theyâd try it on, and theyâd buy it if it fit.
At first, Rebecca thought it was excessive to buy so many clothes, but her momâs credit card was on fire, and there was no stopping her. They just packed everything up!
The maid followed behind them, taking the purchased items from her mom and skillfully carrying all the bags as if sheâd been doing it her whole life.
The grownâup stuff was easy enough, but it was the baby gear that really mattered. In the baby store, Debra went wild, grabbing every adorable thing in sight, whether Lilian and Kev needed it or not.
Rebecca couldnât help but shake her head. Still, it was heartwarming to see how much her dad spoiled her mom. It was clear he really loved Debra, and her mom must be living the dream. This whole thing must be the reason her mom could buy anything she wanted.
Since the Carter familyâs fortune could handle it, Rebecca didnât say anything. As long as her mom was happy, that was all that mattered!
After hours of shopping, they finally reached Glamour Closet.
The sight of the sign made both Debra and Rebecca pause, and a grin spread across their face.
Patrick had personally gotten them a gold card for Glamour Closet, so the clothes there must be good, right?
âLetâs check it out,â Debra smiled.
Rebecca nodded, excited. âOkay!â
But they didnât expect to see a familiar face as soon as they walked in â Lesley!
Lesley wasnât alone. Some other woman was with her, probably a friend..
She was also taken aback when she turned around and saw Rebecca.
Rebecca and Lesley looked at each other, neither making a move to greet the other..
Although they couldnât show their discord during filming, Lesleyâs sly remarks at the end of the show had really

made Rebecca uncomfortable.
Rebecca quickly looked away and turned to the clothes in the Glamour Closet store.
âBring out your latest collection, please.â Debra suddenly spoke up. Like she was in other stores, she always shopped with an open wallet, always demanding the newest designs.
Hearing this, Lesley panicked and quickly said, âHey! I saw those clothes first. You canât buy them!â
Rebecca and Debra turned to stare at Lesley, along with the store staff.
Debra rolled her eyes. âAre you crazy?â
âExcuse me, ladies, which piece are you interested in?â the salesperson quickly approached, warmly asking Rebecca and Debra.
Debra said calmly. âWeâd like to see the latest collection.â
âYou canât buy the better one!â Lesley was anxious, her face full of worry and nervousness.
The reality show shoot had just ended, and as soon as they got back to the car, her agent had scolded her severely for not helping Janet at all and almost making her a fool.
Her agent urged her to send a gift to Janet and apologize to her, or else she should be prepared to be frozen out by the company.
She had a tenâyear contract, and getting benched wasnât an option, or her career would be over!
The agent mentioned that Glamour Closetâs contract was up for grabs, and the company was pushing Janet for it. If she gifted Janet something from their latest line, it could help her snag the endorsement and maybe even smooth things over after the variety show fiasco.
This time, she bit the bullet, spending her living expenses for the next six months to buy a piece of the latest collection!
Even so, she didnât buy the best one because it was too expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, even close to a million. She couldnât afford it, nor was she willing to spend that much.
Spending that much on someone else felt like a punch to the gut.
She had bought a secondâtier dress. Though not the best, it was still expensive, costing over a hundred thousand
dollars!
Originally, she just needed to deliver the dress to Janet, and everything would be fine. But who would have thought sheâd run into Becky there?

Chapter 43
Outsiders wouldnât know about Becky and Janetâs relationship, but everyone on the show knew. Becky was very likely Theodoreâs legitimate wife. But what about Janet?
Janet was probably just a mistress trying to be the lady of the house!
If she gave the secondâtier Glamour Closet dress to Janet and then Janet saw Becky wearing a topâtier Glamour Closet dress from the latest collection, Lesley was sure sheâd be in big trouble!
She was making things worse, not better, and all her money would be wasted!
âBecky⦠About what happened on the show, it was my fault. Could you pleaseâ¦listen to me this time?
âIâve already bought the Glamour Closet dress. Iâm sure you wouldnât want to wear the same dress as someone else, right?
âWith your status⦠You can afford something way better, am I right?â
With that in mind, Lesley carefully tried to flatter Rebecca.
The salesperson was speechless. They quickly stepped forward to explain, âMs. Bretherton, our brand offers a wide range of styles, even within our latest collection. These ladies can easily find something different to avoid any overlap!â
Several assistants came out, each holding a different design from the new collection. They turned to Rebecca and Debra, cautiously asking, âWould you like to try these on, ladies?â
Another assistant added, âWe can also have our models show you the clothes if youâd prefer.â
When Debra and Rebecca walked in, the sales assistants recognized that these ladies were truly distinguished and were determined to provide impeccable service.
The head salesperson even brought over two chairs, gesturing for them to sit.
Not only did Debra and Rebecca get comfortable on the seat, but the waiter also brought out desserts and drinks, treating them like the queens.
The next moment, the salesperson took the clothes backstage.
A few minutes later, the storeâs lights dimmed, and the runway lights came on. Models wearing the latest Glamour Closet outfits walked onto the central runway, showcasing them to Rebecca and Debra.
