Chapter 1616


    Since Ms. Kiki had stepped in and filed aint, the tide of public opinion was turning. The situation


    was now looking up for Be, and with the heat dying down, nobody could im she had paid to make


    the scandal go away.


    "We could still hire some online supporters to steer Be''s image in an even better direction."


    "I need to talk to you," Louisa''s voiceden with concern.


    "What is it?"


    Louisa asked the designers to continue tweaking their drafts and then led Keh out to the garden.


    She recounted everything Myrna had told her, not leaving out a single detail.


    Keh was hit like a ton of bricks, seemingly unable to believe that the girl he once thought of as his


    precious daughter was capable of such deceit.


    Meanwhile, Serena had been waiting since 3 in the afternoon. It was now past 5 o''clock, and the


    designers still hadn''t shown up to take her measurements.


    asionally, she''d pick up her binocrs to spy on the main house, but there was no sign of anyone


    After a while, she saw the designers leave the mansion and drive off into the distance.


    Her heart sank. It seemed her parents, now that they had their own daughter, were showing their true


    colors, forgetting even her New Year''s outfit on such an important holiday!


    So much for fairness, there was no such thing as equality in this family, was there?


    Weren’t they wealthy? Wasn’t there plenty of money? Couldn''t they afford to have a couple of custom


    outfits made for her? Or was it that they just didn''t want to spend it?


    Now that they had their own daughter, they wanted to save all the best for her.


    Just then, her phone buzzed twice. She thought it might be a message from her parents, but when she


    checked, it was from her old friend Juliet.


    "Serena, New Year ising up, and I can''t get my hands on the new LM collection. Could you do me


    a solid?" Juliet sent two voice messages,


    "Their new designs are to-die-for, and I know you guys only wear couture for New Year, and wouldn''t


    care for ready-to-wear gowns; but for me, it''s so gorgeous it''s driving me insane. I really want it!"


    LM, like LV, was a luxury brand, but some of their limited-edition new releases were only avable to


    VIP customers.


    In the past, if Serena was willing to help, Juliet could get her hands on a dress that was otherwise


    unattainable. Because Serena was a long-time VIP with LM, even if there was only one piece of a


    design left, LM would sell it to her first. Her being the Collins family''s daughter meant her shopping


    experience mattered a lot to them, given the Collins family''s prestige at home.


    "I know it''s just a word from you, and I''ll transfer the money to your cardter. In our circle, you''re the


    ultimate rich and pretty girl, the only one who can pull this off. Truth be told, I''m so envious of you. As


    the Collins family''s daughter, you get whatever you want. Unlike me, I don''t even have the chance to

    buy a dress."


    It was moments like these when Serena felt a cut above the rest. Her mood lifted slightly as she


    forwarded Juliet''s selected design to LM''s customer manager.


    It wasn''t long before the customer manager replied, "Ms. Serena, did you have your eye on this dress?


    This piece has been reserved by Ms. Arabe, and it''s the only one."


    "You gave her the dress I wanted?" Serena was clearly unhappy.
