Pete went upstairs to read.Nora sat on the sofa in the living room.
Lisa wasn’t here yet, but she instead saw Lucy, the housekeeper, coming in with someone who
looked like some kind of manager.
Lucy said, “Great timing, Ms.Nora.They’ve brought the new season’s clothes over, so you can pick
some for yourself.”
As a top-class wealthy family, the Smiths ordered custom- made clothes every season.
Of course, as a daughter of the Smiths, if she wanted to buy more clothes herself, then that would
be a separate matter.
Representatives from high-end custom brands came to the Smiths every season to let them pick
what they wanted from the designer styles.
Behind the manager were a few service staff members.
Each of them was holding fabric samples for the clothes, as well as a thick magazine featuring
various styles of clothing for the ladies of the Smiths to choose from.
When the manager saw Nora, he immediately respectfully handed over the magazine he was
holding and said, “Please have a look first, Ms.Smith.”
Lucy said, “I’ll go and notify Ms.Yvonne and Mdm.Maureen.”
They were the only other young women living in the manor .
From Quentin, the third son, all the way to Louis, the sixth son, none of them were married yet.
Previously, when Hillary, Mia’s mother, was still living with the Smiths, she would also come over to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpick clothes from the catalog.
However, now that Joel had driven her out, there was one fewer person in the family that was part
of the process.
When Yvonne was going downstairs after being notified, she paused slightly and stood on the spiral
staircase when she saw Nora and Maureen, who were seated in the living room.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Lucy.
When they were choosing clothes in the past, Florence would never ask her to go downstairs.
She would always take the manager straight to her room and let her have her pick first.
It was only after she’d had her pick that she would then let Maureen and Hillary choose from the
remaining styles.
Yet, not only was Lucy asking her to go downstairs now, but she was actually even allowing Nora
and Maureen to choose ahead of her?! Yvonne became even more furious.
She felt especially angry when she saw how Maureen and Nora were huddled together and looking
at the magazine like close girlfriends.
The intimacy between the two of them was completely different from how they treated her.
Yvonne lowered her gaze and suddenly sneered.
She went downstairs and sat on the one-seater sofa at the side.
The manager immediately presented another magazine to her.
Yvonne listened to the other two women’s conversations while she looked at her own magazine.
Maureen said, “This red dress is gorgeous! And it even makes one look tall and slim!”
“…Oh! “ Nora said.
Yvonne flipped to the section featuring this season’s red dresses when she heard her.
Red was too orthodox a color, so there were generally relatively fewer designs every season.
Additionally, after so many years, Yvonne had already come to know since a long time ago that
Maureen favored red clothes.
In the past, she would always deliberately pick the attractive red designs first, and leave two
unattractive designs for Maureen, despite the fact that red didn’t actually suit her.
She had done that just to let Maureen know who the noblest woman in the family was.
But now…
Yvonne suddenly pointed to the magazine and remarked, “Nora, this red dress suits you really well!”
The design she was pointing to was the most unique and prettiest one of the year.
Maureen had already had her eye on it a long time ago.
Nora, who was taken aback, looked over.
The dress was indeed pretty nice.
“Doesn’t it look great?”
Yvonne’s lips curled in a smile and she said, “I’ll let you pick first since this is your first year with us.I
think this dress is pretty nice, and it’s also the best design this year.Why don’t you take it?”
Now that the dress she loved had been snatched away, let’ s see if Maureen would still get along
with her! Yvonne thought to herself viciously.
She looked at Maureen after she spoke.
Sure enough, the light in her eyes had dimmed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe sat upright, coughed, and turned over the page where the red dress was on the magazine she
was holding.
This meant that she had given up.
However, she definitely wasn’t going to be happy about it.
See? No matter how good a relationship they shared, it was nevertheless still fake.
A mere dress could easily estrange the two of them.
While Yvonne was sneering at them, Nora said in alow voice, “Yeah, that dress is certainly pretty
nice”
Yvonne was thrilled.
Sure enough, she saw Maureen stiffen.
Nevertheless, she still suppressed her fondness for the dress.
Her smile became a little forced, but she still said to Nora, “The dress suits you very well.”
Then, as if she had convinced herself about it, she resumed her usual bighearted demeanor and
said, “Besides, true red gives one a lot of presence, so it suits formal occasions a lot.This is the first
year since your return, Nora, so it’s a good idea for you to pick this dress.”
She actually became a little more generous? Yvonne clenched her fists.
Maureen was simply too much.
Every time she snatched the dresses from her, she had always looked at her as if she had just
robbed her of her baby.
Yet, when it was Nora who snatched the dress she wanted from her, she actually got over it? Was
this the difference between someone who had blood relations to the family and someone who
didn’t?! 1 She was still thinking about it furiously when Nora said, “No, it’s okay.The dress suits you
a lot”
