Chapter 159:
Rosie immediately nodded in agreement. “Yes, I think so too. But right now, we should focus on figuring out what Brenna will wear instead of dwelling on that,” she said.
Brenna’s lips tightened as she moved toward the small sofa. Holding the shopping bag Ethan had given her, she gently pulled out the dress inside.
She said, “No worries. This one, from Ethan, should be fine p>
Jealousy gnawed at Rosie, who had secretly worked with Sylvie and Vivian to ruin the other three dresses. However, she had been unable to tamper with Ethan’s gift.
With a forced grin, Rosie said, “Perfect. It’s fortunate Ethan thought to gift you a dress. You should try it on right away to see if it fits p>
Back in the dressing room, Audrey stood close to Brenna, whispering to her.
“Isn’t it strange that all three dresses had problems?” Audrey said, helping Brenna slip out of the black dress, her face etched with concern.
Brenna nodded. “It’s clear someone tampered with them. We can review the security footage later to find out who’s responsible p>
Audrey’s brow furrowed. “It seems someone wants to make a fool of you tonight. Thankfully, Ethan gifted you this dress. And if it doesn’t fit, I’ll lend you mine p>
Grateful, Brenna smiled in response.
Ethan’s gift was an elegant beige gown that brushed the floor, adorned with diamonds on the bodice and complemented by a five-layer pearl necklace. Audrey’s face brightened. “The fit is perfect. Ethan really knows your measurements,” she said.

As Brenna left the dressing room, she noticed Rosie and Isabella nearby, whispering. They quickly stopped and forced smiles when they saw her, their unease clear.
Isabella, who rarely praised Brenna, offered a forced compliment. “Brenna, you look stunning p>
Though flattering, her words carried a hidden threat. The off-the-shoulder design of Brenna’s dress presented an opportunity—if someone pulled at the hem, it could cause an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
The thought of such a spectacle thrilled Isabella internally.
Brenna looked at Isabella and Rosie with indifference. Why did they seem so close now? It was as if they had known each other for years. After leaving the dressing area, Brenna entered the banquet hall where Shepard and Giselle had just finished introducing her. Applause filled the air as she stepped into view, and Audrey gently nudged her, whispering, “This is your moment. I’ll stay back here p>
With predatory intent, Isabella followed Brenna, sensing the perfect chance to stir up trouble. With everyone’s attention on Brenna, any mistake she made would be exposed to the public in the worst possible way.
