Chapter 493<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled as she looked at the well\u2013maintained woman in front of her, remaining silent.<\/p>\n
Stella continued speaking. \u201cLucia is a wife who\u2019s been pampered by her husband, and she has a bit of a temper, often getting unstable due to her polycystic ovaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer behavior earlier was a bit out of line, but it probably wasn\u2019t intentional. If it upset you, could we possibly let it go, considering our shared history?<\/p>\n
\u201cOr, if the misunderstanding really bothers you, I can apologize on Lucia\u2019s behalf. If that\u2019s not enough, I can convince Lucia to apologize to you herself, how about that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella\u2019s words were carefully chosen, and many people would have seen her as an elegant woman with great foresight, truly showing consideration for the bigger picture.<\/p>\n
However, at this moment, Cherise\u2019s eyes held nothing but curiosity as she looked at the woman, her smile faint.<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise\u2019s subtle smile, Stella didn\u2019t quite understand what it meant, feeling momentarily at a loss.<\/p>\n
Stella spoke again. \u201cMrs. Leach, what do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing much,\u201d Cherise replied lightly, her voice completely neutral.<\/p>\n
es<\/p>\n
While most people might have thought Cherise was unwilling to forgive, she spoke again. \u201cI haven\u2019t seen an apology being substituted before.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not too young, are you? At least, I\u2019d say you\u2019re much older than me, right? Huh? So, you still can\u2019t take responsibility for your own actions? Or does age mean you can bully someone younger?\u201d<\/p>\n
As she spoke, Cherise casually fiddled with her freshly done nails, looking quite pleased with herself.<\/p>\n
Stella hadn\u2019t expected Cherise to be so resolute.<\/p>\n
Lucia, standing behind her, couldn\u2019t take it any longer. Realizing that her impulsive words had crossed the line, she stepped forward. \u201cStella, you don\u2019t need to defend me anymore. It\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate the thought. It\u2019s my fault. I\u2019ll apologize. Apologizing isn\u2019t that big of a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia stood in front of Cherise, avoiding her gaze. Instead, she bowed her head as if resigning herself to fate, and muttered, \u201cMs. Leach, right? I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Cherise could respond, Lucia turned to leave.<\/p>\n
As Lucia was halfway to the door, Cherise\u2019s cold voice stopped her. \u201cRemember this person. Put her on the Taylor Vogue blacklist.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d The waitresses all responded in unison, their voices loud and clear, striking straight into Lucia\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n
Lucia stopped in her tracks. Without looking back, she ground her teeth and stomped her foot, then continued toward the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh? Lucia, Lucia\u2026\u201d Stella, still inside Taylor Vogue, called out softly.<\/p>\n
She turned to face Cherise and Jean. \u201cJean, Ms. Leach, I\u2019m really sorry about this small misunderstanding. I\u2019ll come back to formally apologize another time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once Stella finished speaking, she exchanged a glance with Lydia, who had remained silent, and the two of them grabbed<\/p>\n

their bags and headed out, likely to catch up with Lucia who was departing.<\/p>\n
The other customers, seeing that the scene was over, returned to their places and continued picking out clothes.<\/p>\n
For Cherise and the others, this minor incident didn\u2019t have much of an impact.<\/p>\n
But not everyone felt the same.<\/p>\n
Xenia led Cherise and Jean toward the VIP room on the third floor.<\/p>\n
Curious, Xenia asked, \u201cCherise, who was that elegant and beautiful woman carlier? I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen her around Betrico. She seemed to know Jean.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean explained, \u201cShe used to be our neighbor. Her father was one of the founding figures of the country, Jagger, the still- living Mr. Walton. Later, she went to Hesperia.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe became a simultaneous interpreter, I think, a real career woman. When Uncle Arthur took charge, we moved to the Jarrett residence and lost contact with the Walton family.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I vaguely heard from my grandma that she\u2019s now the chief interpreter in Hesperia. When I was little, I always thought she was beautiful, and she hasn\u2019t changed much since then.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia smirked. \u201cShe sounds like quite the social butterfly, right, Cherise?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise simply smiled softly, not offering her own thoughts.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
On the third floor of Taylor Vogue, only Xenia and those she allowed could enter.<\/p>\n
Aside from the large windows offering a view of the bustling commercial street outside, the rest of the space was dominated\/ by a white color scheme.<\/p>\n
There were numerous anime pieces designed by Xenia herself, as well as dozens of mannequins dressed in highly distinctive fashion pieces.<\/p>\n
The scene was quite impressive, and Jean, visiting for the first time, couldn\u2019t help but gape.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at these pieces, Cherise. I\u2019ve been taking<\/p>\n
of them for you, making sure no one gets care<\/p>\n
too close,\u201d Xenia said proudly.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, pleased. \u201cNice work. Thank you, Ms. Taylor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean gasped again. \u201cWait, Xenia\u2026 Are these all designs by Cherise?\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia beamed with pride. \u201cOf course! Every single one. Not many people know about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean moved closer to one of the mannequins, picked up a tag, and screamed. \u201cDuskson? Cherise is Duskson? No wonder you mentioned earlier that Lucia had tried on Cherise\u2019s designs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia nodded. \u201cKeep it quiet. This is just a little hobby of Cherise\u2019s. Right, Cherise?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise, already walking toward a large white curtain at the front of the room, didn\u2019t respond immediately.<\/p>\n
She turned to look at Xenia. \u201cIt\u2019s back there, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia snapped her fingers. \u201cYep, right behind that curtain. I personally oversaw it according to your design. You\u2019ll be pleased,<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean wasn\u2019t<\/p>\n
sure what they were talking about, but for some reason, she suddenly felt an unexplainable sense of anticipation.<\/p>\n

Cherise smiled and nodded, then turned toward the white curtain and yanked it open with a swift motion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow!\u201d Xenia and Jean both exclaimed in unison, their voices full of excitement.<\/p>\n
Behind the curtain stood a stunning, flawless white wedding gown.<\/p>\n
