Lesley watched from the side, her face growing increasingly sour. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to leave now,

She had to stay and see what clothes Becky and Debra would buy.

If the clothes they bought were better than hers, she couldn’t use her purchase to apologize to Janet.

Lesley just stayed there, and the salesperson hesitated to ask her to leave. After a long pause, they finally brought over two more chairs for Lesley and her friend to sit down.

The latest collection from Glamour Closet wasn’t extensive, with only fourteen pieces in total – three top–tier pieces, four mid–range, and seven third–tier items.

After the show, Debra pulled out a gold card and said, “I’ll take all three top–tier pieces. One set each for me and Becky. Make sure they’re in our sizes.”

The staff were all stunned.

The head salesperson’s eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of the gold card. ‘Is that…a real gold card?”

“What are you waiting for?” Debra frowned and urged as she saw the salesperson frozen in shock.

The head salesperson snapped out of it and quickly nodded, respectfully saying, “Ma’am, this is quite a big deal. Would you mind if I consulted with our boss first?”

Packaging two sets of all the top–tier items easily exceeded one million dollars. They didn’t have the authority to make such a decision.

Debra nodded. “Go ahead.”

The head salesperson quickly nodded in response. She took the gold card, leaving with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Her slightly trembling hands betrayed his astonishment.

It was a gold card! She’d only ever seen it in the manager’s hand during training. It was so surreal to see a guest holding one.

Lesley’s mind went completely blank. She couldn’t believe what she’d just heard. They…wanted the top–tier items?

And they wanted three of each, in two sets? One for Becky and one for this woman?

The top–tier dresses started at tens of thousands of dollars, with the priciest one topping two hundred grand.

Becky and Debra were dropping that kind of money like it was pocket change.

TOMU SUL,

Lesley suddenly felt that the clothes worth over ten thousand dollars she was holding were burning her hands. Where did she get the courage to try and stop them from buying better clothes?

There was no way she was giving this dress to Janet now. It would be a major insult, and Lesley would be done for

too!

“Um, excuse me… Could I, like, return this?” Lesley stammered, her face pale as she looked at the salesperson.

The clerk had been stunned when Debra pulled out a gold card. They snapped back to reality and looked at Lesley. Their face turned grim as they thought of how rude Lesley had been to Debra and Rebecca, their VIP customer.

Especially since Lesley wanted to return an outfit she had already paid for, their displeasure only grew.

“Ms. Bretherton, this outfit has already been paid. We do not accept returns unless there is a quality issue,” the

clerk responded coldly.

Lesley fell silent.

Rebecca stared at her, perplexed. She and her mother had bought some better clothes from Glamour Closet, so why was Lesley so upset?

Was Lesley that arrogant? Just because she had bought from this brand before, no one else could buy better

clothes from the same brand?

She must be out of her mind.

It took a while for the head salesperson to return. She was even more respectful than before when she came back. She carefully handed the clothes and the gold card back to Debra with both hands.

Debra took the card and turned to let the maid take the clothes.

Lesley was stunned, staring at Debra in disbelief. “Who exactly is this woman? Why are the Glamour Closet staff treating her with such respect?‘

After Debra and Rebecca bought their dress, it was time to leave.

Debra didn’t spare Lesley a single glance, taking Rebecca’s delicate hand and leading her out.

Rebecca, naturally, followed her mother without a word.

At Mitchell Villa, Lisa handed a USB drive to Janet and said, “Janet, here’s the information you asked me to find.

“When Rebecca and Mr. Edwards went to get a divorce, someone did tip off Melissa about it anonymously. After

receiving the call, Melissa was furious and pretended to be ill to get Mr. Edwards away.”

Janet frowned as she took the USB drive, sneering, “I knew it. Rebecca wouldn’t agree to a divorce that easily. She’s just playing hard to get.”

She then asked, “Is this proof that Rebecca had someone call Melissa anonymously to spill the beans?”

Lisa hesitated before shaking her head. “No, I dug around for ages but couldn’t track down the anonymous caller. There’s no way to confirm that the call was linked to Rebecca.

no

“But this USB drive contains fake evidence I cooked up. If you give this to Mr. Edwards, he’ll probably buy the story that Rebecca intentionally had someone call Melissa.”

Janet was speechless.

“Useless! You couldn’t even dig up that info?

Janet started scolding immediately, but only for a couple of sentences. She then nodded and said, “Fine, if you can’t find it, drop it. Just make sure the info we do have is solid. As long as we can convince Theodore, that’s all

that matters.

“What about the Glamour Closet endorsement competition?” Janet continued. “Did you get the outfits?”

Lisa nodded. “Everything’s settled. Last time at the reality show, Lesley almost embarrassed you, but to make up for it, she’s willing to spend a fortune to buy you the latest outfit from Glamour Closet. When you wear it to the audition, you’ll definitely get the position!”

Janet’s expression soured at the mention of Lesley, but since Lesley was willing to make amends with the gift, she wasn’t that angry anymore.

Lisa hesitated for a moment and couldn’t resist speaking up for Lesley. “Janet, I don’t think we can put all the blame on Lesley for what happened.

“I watched the livestream. Lesley was just trying to secretly release Rebecca and Charlie’s chickens, but Ben suddenly changed the strategy and took everyone by surprise. He said Lesley was sabotaging the team, which drew everyone’s attention to her.

“Lesley was just trying to handle the situation as she could.”

Janet was displeased as she heard this. If Lesley had nothing wrong, it meant she was the problem?

It meant she didn’t know what to do on the reality show, right?

So, that was why she didn’t stand out on the show?

Still, she kept her thoughts to herself and changed the subject with a cold face. “Where are the clothes?”

“She should be getting them,” Lisa replied quickly. “I’ll check on her.”

“Tell her to hurry up. I can’t be late for this audition,” Janet said, tapping her foot impatiently.

Lisa nodded repeatedly, “Yes, I know. I’ll get her moving.”
