Why is she even pretending? Does she think her intentions aren’t obvious to me?

“You—”

Jennifer was livid.

“What about me? Am I not speaking the truth?”

The gall she has to try and lecture me! Who does she think she is? What gives her the right to spew such nonsense at me?

“You’re utterly shameless.”

“It’s none of your f*cking business!” Sophie cussed.

“Stop trying to act holy in front of me. I’ve seen plenty of your type!” Sophie sniped back.

Right then, Ysabelle emerged from the changing room and walked up to Sophie.

“Sophie, do you think this dress suits me?” She liked the outfit but wanted a second opinion on whether she looked good in it.

“Ysabelle, you look great in it, as it brings out your charm.”

Jennifer preempted Sophie’s reply, rendering Ysabelle speechless.

Since when did I ask for her opinion? She’s such a busybody!

“It looks really good on you. Since you like it, why don’t I buy it for you?” Jennifer intended to pay for it.

From her perspective, building a good relationship with other girls was just a matter of giving them presents.

Instead, Ysabelle responded with a frown.

“Ms. Whitley, you should mind your own business. We’ll buy whatever we want, as the Lombard family has no problems affording something as trivial as this!”

“Try something else! This dress makes you look old.” She’s only nineteen. The color doesn’t suit her age.

“Okay.”

Ysabelle had already felt weird wearing the dress. Hence, Sophie’s words further cemented her apprehension toward it.
