?Chapter 286:


    The women at the same table exchanged nces.


    “Are you truly clueless? What a shame. Securing a dress by him is quite difficult as you have to wait in line. If Ellie is still considered your daughter, you might persuade her to get you one of Freddy’s designs.”


    This woman’s words dripped with sarcasm, taunting Litzy for losing Ellie, who was quite an asset.


    Everyone aware of the situation knew that since Litzy found her biological daughter, she publicly and privately demeaned and insulted Ellie. Litzy’s behavior was harsh.


    “I… I’m not feeling well. I can’t continue the card game today.” Litzy was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions if she stayed any longer.


    She returned home, her mood stormy. Before her anger could erupt, Demi’s aggrieved expression caught her attention.


    “Demi, what’s the matter?” Litzy asked, softening her tone.


    With quivering eyshes, Demi appeared quite pitiful. She questioned Litzy, “Mom, did you know about Ellie’s close rtionship with Freddy?”


    “I’ve only just found out. She never mentioned it to us.”


    Litzy’s irritation red up at the mention of Ellie. Clearly, Ellie had not been forting. Knowing someone like Freddy, a renowned designer, and keeping it from her family seemed like a deliberate act of defiance.


    “If it weren’t for the fact that Ellie and I had swapped identities, I would have been the one receiving Freddy’s respect. But now, even when I try to borrow a dress from him, I get rejected…”


    Demi clung to Litzy, crying pitifully, “Mom, is it that destiny just favors Ellie too much?”


    As fate would have it, Demi was scheduled to appear on a red carpetter in the month. Coincidentally, Freddy was hosting his first-ever show in the country at the same time.


    Demi’s team thought it would be a great publicity move to have her wear one of Freddy’s exclusive designs, so they reached out to his studio.

    To their dismay, when they requested a dress under the guise of being the fiancée of the Thorpe family’s son, Freddy’s team outright dismissed them.


    Litzy’s attention was swiftly drawn back to Demi’s words.


    Indeed, if the Gordon family hadn’t adopted Ellie, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet Freddy.


    If it weren’t for the fact that Ellie had taken Demi’s ce, it should have been Demi who knew Freddy. And Litzy wouldn’t have to endure seeing other mothers take their daughters to Freddy’s show, while she and Demi didn’t even have an invitation.


    The more Litzy pondered, the more she sympathized with her disadvantaged daughter.


    “Destiny should be favoring you, not her. Ellie is nothing.” Litzy reassured Demi, “Don’t worry, my dear. You want a dress from Freddy, right? I’ll get it for you. We won’t just borrow one; we’ll get a custom-made dress.”


    Freddy was setting up a new branch office in Critport.
