?Chapter 1534:


    Sandra deliberately picked out the priciest and most stylish pieces, determined to draw everyone’s attention to what she had chosen.


    Watching Sandra splurge, Lily felt a pang of regret hit her.


    After Brenna and the others left the store, they kept shopping for another two hours. During this time, Sandra made a point of charming Ellie, chatting with her about all sorts of topics.


    As the clock edged toward four in the afternoon, Ellie was busy flipping through racks at another boutique when her phone buzzed. It was a call from one of the designers at her studio.


    “Ellie, I’ve reworked this draft a bunch of times, but the client’s still not satisfied. I’m honestly out of ideas. Can youe by and give it a look?”


    Sandra stood by quietly, taking in every word.


    Ellie didn’t hesitate and replied, “No problem, I’m just around the corner. I’ll stop by and help you out.”


    As they made their way over, Sandra couldn’t help but unload her frustrations about Lily to Brenna.


    Listening to her, Brenna and Ellie both realized something: Sandra usually didn’t let small things get under her skin, but with Lily, it was different. That girl really had a bad character.


    Once they reached Ellie’s studio, Ellie immediately went to review the drafts with the designer. Meanwhile, Brenna and Sandra wandered through the creative workspace, taking in the atmosphere.


    Sandra’s eyes widened in amazement at the sight of so many breathtaking finished pieces on disy. Each one looked like it belonged in a high-end boutique.


    Scattered among the masterpieces were countless works in progress, every single one hinting at future greatness. She couldn’t help but feel awestruck by the sheer talent on disy.

    Although she already knew Ellie was brilliant, she hadn’t realized Ellie’s whole team was just as skilled.


    The level of artistry made her a bit envious.


    Thinking no one was watching, Sandra quickly snapped a few photos with her phone, hoping to spark some new ideas for herselfter on.


    She wasn’t nning to copy; she just wanted a little inspiration. After tucking her phone away, Sandra tried to act casual, pretending to browse the fabrics and patterns scattered around the studio. The more she saw, the more she felt like she still had a lot to learn.


    When the studio visit wrapped up, the three of them headed out to dinner before going their separate ways for the night.


    Once Ellie was dropped off, Brenna and Sandra sat together in the car in silence, neither of them saying a word for a while.
