?Chapter 767:


    “Elena, how could you make such ament? All I’m saying is I’m looking out for Louis. If you’re not on board, that’s fine, but there’s no need for sarcasm,” Evelyn said, her tone tinged with defensiveness.


    Without hesitation, Elena protested, “If you’re truly concerned, why not settle the cost for the dress you ruined? It’s five hundred thousand. Please transfer the amount.”


    Evelyn widened her eyes. Five hundred thousand dors? That was nothing short of robbery!


    “Have you lost your senses? Five hundred thousand for a single dress?” Evelyn eximed, her disbelief evident. Even her purchases from the most exclusive luxury brands had never reached such a price. To her, the dress in question was ordinary, far from any luxury piece embedded with jewels. The audacity of Elena to demand such a sum baffled her.


    Elena simply raised an eyebrow. Was five hundred thousand indeed so ridiculous? The fabric of the dress was both rare and highly sought after, costing a hundred thousand per meter. The cost of materials alone exceeded five hundred thousand.


    Elena replied evenly, “Given that you are my sister-inw, I’m offering this dress to you for five hundred thousand as a courtesy.”


    Moments before, Evelyn had seemed so magnanimous. Now, she remained speechless.


    While the Morgan family possessed wealth, theycked the longstanding influence boasted by the Harper family. Without the Harper family’s foray into renewable energy, Evelyn’s marriage to Jeffry would have been unlikely given her own family’s social standing. Money was not an issue for Evelyn, whose wardrobe overflowed with high-end brands. Yet, as a neer to the elite circles, parting with five hundred thousand for a single dress was akin to pulling teeth.


    Evelyn’s resentment toward Elena deepened with each passing moment. Jolie and Jeffry had the means to provide Elena with a hundred million without batting an eye, yet she found no such generosity extended to her for her financial needs.


    Louis, in contrast to Evelyn, understood the dress’s true worth. He recognized the uniqueness of the fabric and acknowledged that five hundred thousand was actually a fair price.

    “Actually, five hundred thousand is quite fair. Please transfer the money, Evelyn,” Louis replied, effectively cornering Evelyn into paying. Refusing would only make her look petty.


    With a clenched jaw, Evelynpleted the transfer of five hundred thousand to Elena.


    Exhausted and frustrated, Evelyn couldn’t bear to remain there any longer and hurried upstairs, her features clouded with irritation. Just as Evelyn reached the first stair, Louis called after her, a mischievous smile ying on his lips, “Evelyn, take this. It’s yours now, since you’ve paid for it.”


    Yet, Louis’s smirk hid a trace of scorn. He would never consider offering Kiera a dress previously worn by another.


    Taking the dress in hand, Evelyn’s face grew even more stormy than before.


    After her departure, Louis chuckled and said, “No wonder Jeffry has been staying away from home ever since they got married.”


    Louis had long harbored resentment toward Evelyn for her ndering Elena at the wedding and her role in letting Ste mistreat Kiera. Now, Evelyn had crossed another line by donning a dress that wasn’t hers to wear. Such behavior clearly exined why Jeffry showed little interest in being around her.


    After hisughter subsided, Louis turned his attention to Elena. “The premiere of A Dream Within a Dream is soon. Would you care to join me in support?”
