It was one thing to be intentionally humiliating, but sheâs wrapping it up so nicely. She presented a picture of deep affection, but I still clearly remember the candid words she exchanged with Ryan in the hospital
room.
Mrs. Shaw was clearly swayed by this performance, tapping her daughterâs forehead in frustration. âWhy are you so obsessed with Ryan?â
Bethany smiled obediently. âHeâs such a good man. Some people donât appreciate him, but I should, right?â
âSuch a hypocrite.â
I found it amusing but was not inclined to argue with her. I just wanted to wrap things up quickly and asked again, âSo, can you tell me your requirements now?â
âIt must be noble!â She threw out her most important requirement with an air of command and continued, âIt should have lots of diamonds, sparkling everywhere, with a collar lined with Astrian White pearls, something that looks very expensive. Oh, and it must have rubies, I love redâ¦â
By the end, I felt a bit overwhelmed.
Diamonds, Astrian White pearls, rubies. This wasnât a dress. It was clearly a jewelry box.
I couldnât tell if she genuinely liked this style or was just trying to make things difficult.
I pursed my lips and said from a professional standpoint, âMiss Shaw, these elements might be a bit too much. It could be difficult to highlight the key pointsâ¦â
Bethany contemptuously replied, âCharlotte, are you jealous?â
âHuh?â I had a puzzled look on my face.
She looked down on me with a pampered arrogance. âJealous of a dress that could have a seven- or eight -figure budget? You must be envious, right? Unfortunately, you donât have that fortuneâneither good parents nor a highâstatus marriageâ¦â
âIdiot.â
I swallowed the retort that almost slipped out and asked, âSo, you want all these elements, correct?â
âOf course!â She raised her chin haughtily. âAt the engagement party, I must be the center of attention. No one should overshadow me.â
She then leaned into Mrs. Shaw. âMom, Iâm right, arenât I? Iâm your and Dadâs daughter, and I canât bring shame on you.â
Mrs. Shaw patted her hand with satisfaction, âThe Shaw familyâs daughter never lacks anything good!â
âQuite the doting mother.â
I was not in the mood to continue this conversation and issued the dismissal. âAlright, I have noted everything. Iâll send the design draft to Miss Shawâs email once itâs ready. We can make any changes through online communication.â
I hoped to avoid seeing them again.

Bethany frowned. âArenât you going to take measurements?â
âNo need. Donât worry. The dress will fit perfectly.â
I could gauge her measurements with just a few looks. I didnât want to waste any more time.
Bethany threw a fit on the spot, âI think youâre just brushing me off and not taking the Shaw family seriously! Mom, look at herâ¦â

âCharlotte, are you trying to make money while being lazy? You clearly havenât moved on from your role as a wife of an affluent family.â
Mrs. Shawâs face darkened, completely different from her previous attitude towards Bethany. She sneered. âIf you canât adjust, I donât mind teaching you a lesson!â
Clearly, she was not planning to leave things as they were..
From the moment they walked in today, they never intended to leave so easily. Regardless of the reason, they were determined to make an example of me.
âMrs. Shaw!â
A lazy voice suddenly came from behind.
Frank, with his long legs, strolled over with a carefree demeanor. âI donât think you should bully her right now.â
