Chapter 0117 Judy's POV "You know your father and I have a long history," Dalsy sald, giving an awkward chuckle.
Irene nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, his fated mate, my mother, was your sister," Irene replied. “Unfortunately, my father isn't on the market for dating at the moment.
Daisy pressed her red lips in a thin line as she narrowed her eyes at Irene. Even she knew she had to be careful about what she said in the presence of Gavin's daughter.
"We are only friends, of course," Daisy said through her tight-lipped smile. "Don't overthink things." She glanced in my direction and sizedup for a moment and then she curled her lip in disgust again. “That dress is too tacky for me. I'll find something else," she muttered. She spun on her heel and walked away.

"I hate that bitch," she muttered. I was surprised by this, but I relaxed immediately after hearing Irene's words and then I let out a soft chuckle. Irene gavea gentle smile and nudgedtowards the changing room. “Get changed and we can grab slunch before we head back. I know you have tutoring this evening "Sounds good," I told her.
As much as I loved the dress, it was nice wearing my normal clothes again. Stacy was quick to take the dress and package it for me. Irene found a gorgeous dress for herself as well and Irene packaged that for her. We reached the counter, and Stacy rang up the dresses.
"For Judy, the dress is 3 million dollars and for Irene, the dress is 1 million," Stacy said, lifting her gaze.
My mouth dropped open. That was so much money. I wasn't expecting a simple dress to cost that much. Without even blinking, Irene grabbed a black card and handed it to Stacy.
You can charge t dresses to this card," Irene said as she pulled out her phone to check her messages.
I stared at her dumbfounded at how casual she was to be spending that much money. Stacy looked delighted as she charged the card. Once it went through, she printed the receipt and handed the receipt and card to Irene. She carefully handed us each a box which Taylor and Gamma Derek took from us to help out. They were so well hidden in the shadows and kept to themselves that I completely forgot that they were even there.
I smiled my thanks to Taylor as he took my box, and he nodded in acknowledgment. We left the store, thankfully without any more run-ins with Daisy, and we grabbed lunch. This time, we invited the Gammas and Beta Taylor to join us, not wanting to be alone even for a second. Once we finished with lunch, we went to the Villa so I could tutor Matt.

Matt was busy practicing his aim and was barely paying attention to us, so I nodded. Walter took hold of my arm and wrapped it through mine. We walked together, arm in arm, for a short while before he finally stopped to turn to me.
"So, I'm not sure if you heard, but the mascaraed Galas this weekend," he started in a rush. My cheeks blushed and I nodded as I bit my lip. “I just got a couple tickets to the event," he continued. "And I was wondering if you'd be my date?" I had a strange instinct to decline his offer, but I just got a 3-million-dollar dress, so I couldn't.
"I would love to," I told him. "It sounds like fun." He relaxed his shoulders and let out a breath of relief.

I nodded.
"I will see you then," I told him.
I watched him as he hurried away and noticed that he had an extra pep in his step just hoped that 1 wasn't going to be the one to take that away. Third Person POV
Saturday cquickly and Irene spent most of the day preparing for the Gala. She was excited to be able to show off her glamorous dress and her gorgeous fiancé on her arm. Ethan told her that he would pick her up this evening around 8 pm and then they would meet up with Walter and Judy. They were planning on sharing a limo for the event tonight and she was beyond thrilled about it.
Her father was also attending the Gala, but he wasn't going to accompany them. He was getting there by himself, without a date. Irene had told him that he should find m somebody to take, but he refused. Truth be told, she didn't want him to be single at the Gala knowing that Daisy was also going to be there single, in hopes of capturing Gavin's attention. She didn't want her father and her mother's sister to get together. The thought irritated her, she really couldn't stand her Aunt Daisy, and she wanted her away from her family.
