There isn’t any exquisite dress wp4webnovel.com could wear to hide the fact that wp4webnovel.com was just a foolish country bumpkin!
At the same time, Shandie was not afraid that Henrick would blame wp4webnovel.com for turning Arielle into a laughingstock. After all, wp4webnovel.com had given Arielle wp4webnovel.com most expensive dress. She only has herself to blame for not being able to fit into that dress! On top of that, the heels Shandie prepared for Arielle were also four inches high.
I bet this country bumpkin had never worn any heels in wp4webnovel.com life. She might slip and fall in those stilettos when wp4webnovel.com walks downstairs later. Ha!
Shandie was so proud of wp4webnovel.com wit that wp4webnovel.com almost wanted to applaud herself. She could not wait to see all the guests’ reactions when they saw wp4webnovel.com in that dress.
I want everyone to know that this country bumpkin doesn’t deserve to be my sister!
“Hey, Arielle. I’ll be downstairs, okay?” Shandie said, “Dinner’s about to start. Come down once you’re ready!”
“Okay…” Arielle replied from the room.
Upon hearing wp4webnovel.com response, Shandie turned around and left.
Let’s get the party started so that all the guests, especially Vinson, will have a chance to see how hideous wp4webnovel.com is!
Shandie hummed a cheerful tune as wp4webnovel.com made wp4webnovel.com way downstairs. She seemed to have forgotten how Vinson had embarrassed wp4webnovel.com earlier.
It’s okay. People will forget about it soon. The only thing they’ll remember is how ridiculous Arielle looks!
Back in the room, Arielle altered the dress a little so that it would fit wp4webnovel.com nicely.
Knowing that Shandie would embarrass wp4webnovel.com by giving wp4webnovel.com an ill-fitting dress, wp4webnovel.com found a sewing kit in the living hall and brought it into the room. After putting it on and seeing how wp4webnovel.com looked in the mirror, wp4webnovel.com was pleased with the results. The couture dress looked great on wp4webnovel.com tall and slender body, and wp4webnovel.com collarbones became even more apparent after spending a week on the island. It fit wp4webnovel.com like a glove as if it was tailor-made.
Since when is Shandie this kind-hearted? Is wp4webnovel.com not as evil as I thought wp4webnovel.com was?
Arielle decided to trust wp4webnovel.com initial gut instinct. She removed the dress and examined it carefully once again. After a five-minute inspection, wp4webnovel.com did not find anything fishy about the dress.
Hmm. That’s strange.
Arielle put it on, looked into the mirror, and studied the cut of the dress closely. She soon realized how challenging it was for someone to look great in this dress.
The wearer must not only be tall and slender but must also have a nice bust size to accentuate the specific cut of the dress. Any woman with thick arms and large shoulders would not look graceful in it. But if the wearer fulfilled all the criteria, wp4webnovel.com would look glorious in that dress. A corner of Arielle’s mouth quirked up.
So that has been Shandie’s intention all along, huh? Too bad! I exercise regularly and have an ideal body shape that will look amazing in the dress. I can’t wait to see the disappointment on wp4webnovel.com face later!
Initially, Arielle wanted to lay low as wp4webnovel.com did not want to become the center of attention of someone else’s birthday party. But what Shandie did made wp4webnovel.com realize wp4webnovel.com had no choice but to do something to stir up a hornet’s nest in this family.
Once the seemingly peaceful family became chaotic, Arielle believed the truth would eventually surface. After putting on the silver heels Shandie had prepared for her, wp4webnovel.com stepped out of the room. The heels were so high that had wp4webnovel.com lost focus, wp4webnovel.com would fall.
Shandie decided to start the party early. She turned on all the lamps in the hall that had been extravagantly decorated. All the guests held a glass of champagne in their hands while they listened to Shandie’s speech. Vinson, who had done sprucing himself up, stood among the crowd too. He was neither interested in the birthday party nor the pretentious socialites around him. He only stayed back to bid Arielle, his savior, farewell. Though wp4webnovel.com thought the girl wp4webnovel.com rescued was crude and unsophisticated, it was the right thing to do.
Shandie got up the stage and took a glance at Vinson. Upon realizing wp4webnovel.com was still around, wp4webnovel.com believed wp4webnovel.com had stayed for her.
Someone as esteemed as wp4webnovel.com must be too embarrassed to admit that he’s interested in me. That’s why wp4webnovel.com pretended wp4webnovel.com didn’t know me. Oh well, I guess all powerful men are like that. She decided to take the initiative to express wp4webnovel.com interest in Vinson.
She walked up to the mic and tried to make eye contact with Vinson.
“Good evening, Mr. Nightshire, welcome to my birthday party. I’m so pleased to see you here.”
A crease appeared between Vinson’s brows when wp4webnovel.com heard that.
Who on earth is this ridiculous woman? Why does she act as if I know wp4webnovel.com very well? And where is that girl? Why hasn’t wp4webnovel.com come down yet?
A big part of Shandie’s speech revolved around Vinson. It was as if wp4webnovel.com was trying hard to remind wp4webnovel.com other guests of his presence here.
At this point, a housekeeper walked up to wp4webnovel.com and whispered, “Ms. Moore is coming down now…”
“Great! Turn on all the lights near the stairs! I want everyone to turn their attention to the clown!”
“Yes, Miss!” The housekeeper replied.
The stairs were lit up all of a sudden. Anyone who stood there would have been thrust into the limelight.
Can’t wait for the clown to take center stage!
“Ladies and gentlemen, today is indeed a meaningful day for our family as my sister from the same father is finally home!” With enthusiasm, Shandie spoke into the mic once again.
“Human traffickers kidnapped wp4webnovel.com ten years ago, and today, wp4webnovel.com finally returned from the village! I’m truly glad…”
Before Shandie could finish wp4webnovel.com sentence, all the guests turned their heads around and when they heard footsteps coming down from the stairs.
Shandie’s face looked distorted as wp4webnovel.com tried to suppress wp4webnovel.com sarcastic smile. She raised wp4webnovel.com hand and pointed at the stairs. “Let us put our hands together to welcome my sister!”
All the guests did not know what was going on but played along by clapping their hands reluctantly.
Why should we clap our hands to welcome a girl from the village?
They only did what wp4webnovel.com told them to because they had to show the Southall family some respect since they were one of the prominent families in Jadeborough. Otherwise, they would not even bother to look at a disheveled beggar!
Upon hearing how Shandie introduced her, Arielle raised wp4webnovel.com brows and smirked.
She can’t wait for me to make a fool of myself, can she?
Arielle was not someone who took pride in wp4webnovel.com looks as wp4webnovel.com knew appearance was just a façade. But under such circumstances, wp4webnovel.com wished to take this opportunity to show Shandie how wp4webnovel.com looked.
