The woman who was speaking was named Lana. Her family owned an art gallery, and they were fairly well-

known in Seacrity.

Everyone else was confused, not sure what Lana meant by her comment. Although the dress Yvette from the

Chambers family was wearing looked expensive, the people present were no strangers to luxury. Sure, the dress

was beautiful, but without this girl wearing it, it wouldn't have looked so stunning.

Sof the women present had already started to feel jealous and hostile towards Yvette. ‘Who'd want to be

outshone by a girl who was just found in the countryside?’ Most of the women in the garden were seething with

jealousy. ‘Didn’t you see how the men couldn't take their eyes off her? They were practically drooling!” When

Winona stepped out earlier, the women only felt a little uncomfortable, but Yvette’'s appearance had magnified

their jealousy and darkness.

Sgirls saw an opportunity in Lana’s words, and their intentions weren't good. “Hey, you said you've seen

this dress before, right? Does that mean Ms. Zeller’s dress was worn by someone else? That wouldn't be good,

would it?” -

Wearing a previously worn dress was a huge embarrassment in high society. If it were true, the reputation of the

Chambers family’s Yvette, who had just been found in the countryside, would be ruined, and she'd be utterly

humiliated.

Nellie and Winona stood by eagerly, watching Lana. ‘It'd be great if she really had seen it before. That would

mean Yvette is just wearing a hand-me-down dress, and there'd be sreal to watch!

Winona’s lips curled into a mocking smile. Her previously gloomy mood had lifted. She thought maybe Sienna

had just grabbed a second-hand dress to deal with Yvette: ‘If that’s the case, today... Yvette will be the biggest

joke!”

All eyes were on Yvette, who stood in the center of the garden.

Yvette looked up slightly, her expression calm. Her deep eyes were cold and mysterious, like dark ink hiding a

vast whirlpool. Her long, veil-like lashes cast shadows, and she swept her gaze lightly over the crowd without

saying a word.

Once again, her beauty stunned everyone. However, sthought her silence meant she was admitting the

girl's accusation, that the dress really was second-hand.

Holding back her excitement, Winona stepped forward. “Wearing a second-hand dress is a big taboo at our high-

society events. How about this, | have an unworn dress in my room. Why don’t you cwithand change

into it?” Winona spoke with sincerity, acting as if she was doing Yvette a huge favor.

Yet, the people around her found her words odd. She claimed to be helping her sister, but if Yvette wore one of

Winona’s dresses, she'd be even more humiliated, always a step behind Winona. The girls who usually got along

with Winona knew who to help, urging Yvette to go change.

“Winona is so kind, being so thoughtful of her sister at a tlike this.”

“I think you should go change, Ms. Zeller.”

“Yeah, go on, change.”

Speople, afraid of offending the Chambers family, muttered quietly.

Zeke looked at Yvette, standing there alone, and felt proud. ‘If | don’t take a shot at her now, when will 1?” So, he

stepped forward and joined in. “Go change with Winona. The banquet’s about to start, and we're running out of

time.”

Nellie didn’t say anything this time, seeing that Zachary was growing more and more upset. “There's no need for

No one noticed that Lana, who had started all of this, was sweating profusely, trying to speak but unable to get a

word in.

Richard was also watching Yvette with a smug grin, as was Robert. ‘It's a good thing | was smart enough to break

off the engagement with Yvette early and switch to Winona. Otherwise, our whole Carter family would've been

humiliated today!

Yulia couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for Yvette, but then again, she thought it was Yvette’'s own fault. ‘She's

been back with the Chambers family for so long, how does she still not understand the rules?”

Zachary’s face had darkened considerably, feeling suffocated by the scornful looks around him. He also believed

that Sienna might've just grabbed sdress that had been worn before to deal with Yvette. ‘If it weren't for

me, Yvette wouldn't be so humiliated. “Enough! My daughter from the Chambers family can wear whatever she

likes! There's no need for everyone to be so judgmental!”

Winona's eyes grew fierce. ‘Dad is siding with Yvette again, even at the cost of offending so many people!

Seeing that Zachary was genuinely angry, people began to feel uneasy. Though the Chambers family had

declined, they were still one of the four major families, and not someone these small families could mess with.

Everyone's attention shifted to Lana, who was drenched in sweat and looking nervous.

Winona purposely walked over to Lana and said gently, “Lana, right? | remember you. You said you've seen this

dress before, so who wore it?” She gave Lana an encouraging look.

Finally given a chance to speak, Lana thought to herself, ‘If | had known one comment would cause such a

misunderstanding, | wouldn't have said anything!” Fearing she might be interrupted again, Lana took a deep

breath and blurted out everything in one go.
