NovelEnglish"Why are they here?" Jenna was already annoyed at the sight of this old lady, and Nichole had also calong with Bea today.
The female manager beside her said, "I heard that the CEO of Burke International is getting engaged in a few days, so Mrs. Bea Burke is here to accompany her future granddaughter-in-law to pick out an engagement dress today." Jenna frowned and said, "There are only so many high-end boutiques in Devonport. What bad luck it was to run into these two." "Bad luck? I think someone intentionally cto give us a hard time." Though high-end boutiques in Devonport were few, it was no coincidence to be in the sshop on the sday.
It seemed Nichole had someone sniff out Sophie's location, and she deliberately brought Bea along to show support.

Nichole supported Bea and sat down on the sofa, saying, "Grandma, helpchoose. What would look good onfor the engagement party?" "Something understated yet luxurious, dignified and elegant." Bea, always conservative, also chose wedding dress styles that leaned towards a more traditional aesthetic. After much deliberation, nothing particularly caught her eye. Nichole's gaze had already shifted towards Sophie, deliberately saying, "Grandma, look, that's Ms. Sophie there." Hearing this, Bea frowned and as she looked in the direction Nichole pointed, she indeed saw Sophie.
The sight of Sophie reminded Bea of her assertive demeanor that night.
Bea's expression darkened, saying, "Why is she here too?" "Mrs. Costello is a valued customer of ours. Mr. Colby has specially ordered a wedding gown and engagement dress for Ms. Sophie to review." The staff, completely unaware of the tension, mentioned this with a face full of envy.
Bea frowned.
Last time, her plan to have Sophie die in Duskhaven failed, costing her a fortune! Just thinking about it made her feel the loss.
That night, she had intended to contact Solana, but to her surprise, Solana had changed her number! So, Bea directed all her resentment towards Sophie.
Bea said indifferently, "I wonder who it could be: Turns out it's her. Well, my grandson's reject ended up marrying into the Costello family, which I suppose is a bargain for them." Bea's words were laced with malice, making the faces of the nearby staff turn sour.

Nichole ignored the staff's suggestion and deliberately asked, "The dress Ms. Sophie is wearing n doesn't look off-the-rack, does it?"
"It is... Mr. Colby specially ordered this for Mrs. Costello.
today just for e She is Keren today just for a fitting."
Hearing this, Nichole shook Bea's arm and said, "Grandma, I think these ready-to-wear dresses all look the same. Let's get one custom-made too." "Custom-made certainly suits better. What style would you like, Ms. Rowena?" Nichole raised an eyebrow and said, "The sstyle as hers." X
