Chapter 229 Make the Dress
The internet became more fervent the closer it was to Wendy’s birthday.
Everyone was watching the truth unfold, as though they were spectators of a show.
Nicole’s reputation had soared because of plagiarism and suicide cases before. On top of that, there was a rumor
going about that Wendy had chosen Joanna’s design over Nicole’s.
Everyone’s curiosity had been piqued after the series of events that happened. They all wanted to see what kind of
clothes Joanna had designed that could be better than Nicole’s.
Joanna’s reputation had improved as well.
She was finally done with the dress three days before Wendy’s birthday.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Joanna arrived at Gardner Residence, Anna had Edith bring tea over before Anna looked at her with a kind
gaze.
Joanna proceeded to put the finished product on the table. “Mrs. Gardner and Wendy, the dress is done. You can try
it on. I can fix it if there is anything you find uncomfortable with.”
Anna looked at the dress and nodded.
Wendy, on the other hand, only glanced at the dress. She didn’t seem all that excited about putting it on.
Nicole had promised her a dress if Nicole were to successfully borrow the main jewelry from Triton Studio.
However, Wendy hadn’t heard back from Nicole at all, even though the birthday banquet was just days away.
She couldn’t help but panic when she thought of the possibility that Nicole couldn’t get the jewelry.
Regardless, Wendy didn’t let her emotion show as she forced an absolutely fake smile at Joanna.
“Alright, Miss Joanna. I will try it on.”
She hugged the dress against her chest and went to change into it after she said that.
The dress designed by Joanna was actually not ugly to look at. Even though the overall style was on the mature and
dignified side, it still looked good on the body.
Wendy, however, didn’t look like she was in the best of moods when she came out in the dress.
In fact, she might have been satisfied with Joanna’s dress if she hadn’t seen Nicole’s but since she did, she couldn’t
help but think that Nicole’s dress was the better-looking one between the two.
Anna knew what her daughter was thinking, and she comforted her, “This dress isn’t that bad.”
Right after she said that, Nicole made her late appearance as she came in from outside. “Hello, Mrs. Gardner and
Wendy,” she greeted as soon as she walked in.
She was carrying a huge bag in her hand.
Wendy’s eyes immediately lit up when she saw the bag. The initial gloomy expression on her face, too, had instantly
become a happy one.
She had her eyes on the bag the whole time she hurried over to Nicole.
Joanna could tell what Nicole was up to. The smile on her face went stiff, but she knew she had to hold it in.
When she looked at Nicole, she squinted slightly and glanced at the bag that Nicole brought over before her eyes
fell on the woman. “What brings you here, Miss Lisa?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole completely ignored her and proceeded to hand the bag to Wendy. Smilingly, she offered, “Try it on, Wendy. I
had this specially designed for you.”
Hearing this, Joanna clenched her fists, but because Anna and Wendy were still here, she forced herself to stay still.
With that, Wendy hugged the dress and turned to leave.
Nicole took the chance to sit down, and after she looked at Anna, she blurted out, “I just finished the dress today. I
was thinking of letting Wendy try it so I can see if there is anything about it I need to change.”
“I will leave it to you, then.” Ann nodded.
Wendy came out briefly after she went in to change. Nicole’s dress looked like it was of way higher quality and taste
compared with Joanna’s dress just now. The slightly long trail of the dress and its youthful design would easily catch
anyone’s eye the moment they laid eyes upon it.
As Wendy turned around, they could see the back for her slender torso from the bareback design of the dress.
Compared to the lifeless dress from earlier, this dress had enhanced Wendy’s grace.
There was no way Joanna wouldn’t notice this. In fact, she had known from the start that her design could never
compete with Nicole’s. Still, she never expected Nicole would go ahead and make the dress, and even had it
brought over to let Wendy try it on right in front of her!
