Anabella praised, "I didn't expect you to speak fluent Faldorian, Mrs. Ripley."Lucy merely smiled politely in response. Anabella turned her gaze to Sasha, causing the latter's heart to leap to her throat. When Anabella noticed Sasha's panicked expression, a fleeting look of disdain crossed her face. Nonetheless, she smiled and said, "This must be the renowned designer, Alicia."Sasha said in Clusian, "Your Majesty, I'm… Alicia."A person standing at the side immediately translated what she said."Let's sit down and talk, everyone.""Yes, Your Majesty."They all sat in their assigned seats."Mr. Ripley, I'll get straight to the point. My birthday party is less than a month away, and all my guests are of high social status."What I'm going to wear must be stunning. It should be able to leave an impression that lasts a lifetime while still making me look dignified and reserved. I've paid you very handsomely, so you must not disappoint me," Anabella explained.Since Tobias had

Lucy followed Anabella to another scenic spot. As the scenery was breathtaking, Lucy couldn't help her urge to take some photos.Anabella watched Lucy's every move with mixed emotions.As she thought of something, a cold and malicious look crossed her face. Lucy was standing at the edge of a cliff at the moment. With one push, Lucy would undoubtedly fall into the abyss.When Lucy turned around, she noticed the complicated expression on Anabella's face and instantly became vigilant. Seeing Lucy abruptly turn around, Anabella immediately put on a warm smile. "Mrs. Ripley, I'm a little curious. How did you and Mr. Ripley meet? I don't mean anything by my question; I just like listening to such stories."Lucy raised a brow as her suspicions were confirmed. She was sure that Anabella had feelings for Tobias!Although Anabella was in her 40s, she still had her charms.Smiling faintly, Lucy answered, "Tobias and I met because of a misunderstanding, Your Majesty.""Then, the two of yo

"You found your parents?""Yup." Anna beamed. "Tobias, do you remember the kidnapping incident at Cloud Peak?"As she spoke, Anna had a strange look on her face. Alas, Tobias' head hurt too much for him to notice her unusual behavior."I do.""After I saved you back then, your family rushed you to the hospital for a check-up. As for me, I couldn't find anywhere to stay, so I went to Cloud Peak Orphanage. "I had a high fever during my stay there, and when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything from the past anymore."I didn't think my parents would find me after all these years. I just reunited with them a few days ago," Anna explained."I see…" Puzzled, Tobias wondered why she was telling him all of this.He questioned, "You were the little girl who was kidnapped back then?""Yes." Anna nodded fervently.Tobias stared at her with a probing gaze.The candlelight in the cave back then had been too dim for him to be able to make out the girl's face clearly. But he remembered

Lucy asked for a pair of scissors and cut the tablecloth into a suitable shape. After folding it into pleats and sewing it with a needle and thread, she arbitrarily adorned the fabric with fresh flowers.She then put the fabric on and sewed it in place. The stain on the bodice of her dress was now completely hidden. Under her skillful hands, the originally plain tablecloth and flowers transformed her low-key yet elegant evening dress into a stunning angel-sleeve dress.When Alina and Sophie returned after the former had gotten changed, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped. The guests around Lucy even praised her for her handiwork.Furthermore, someone had been recording a video of Lucy with their phone the moment she had started working on the fabric."Who would have thought that she could turn an inconspicuous tablecloth and ordinary flowers into an angel-sleeve dress in the blink of an eye? That's amazing!" exclaimed the female guard beside Anabella in surprise.Anabel

As soon as the woman arrived, the guests present gasped in surprise."Oh my goodness, that's Chloe!""Chloe is Faldoria's top designer. She ranks among the top ten best designers in the world, and her designs are always bestsellers…""Chloe will surely comment on the Clusian's work! This is going to get interesting!"The comments section of the livestream was even more lively. Someone asked, "Do you guys think Chloe will praise or criticize Mrs. Ripley?"Back in Eberhard Residence, Rhett remarked, "Brett, Mom used to be very talented in designing. Don't you think this woman's design style is a bit similar to Mom's? I'm even starting to think this woman is our real sister!""So what if they are similar? She has nothing to do with us. By the way, I wonder if Ann has inherited Mom's talents. We should ask her to try it out when she's back.
