The Bride He Took for Granted

Chapter 85

Chloe turned to Joan and let out a mocking whistle.

“Joan, I’d watch your back if I were you. She might steal your man the same way you stole someone else’s. And honestly? She does have a better figure than you.”

“I’m not! Joan, don’t listen to her nonsense!”

Lynn immediately rushed to defend herself. She was so angry that tears nearly filled her eyes.

Joan clenched her fists, her jaw tightening as her expression darkened.

Since Chloe clearly had the upper hand, Elise didn’t step in.

Only after Chloe finally ran out of things to say did Elise take her by the wrist.

“The dresses here don’t suit us. Come on. Let’s look somewhere else.”

As Elise pulled her away, Chloe turned back and added, still dissatisfied, “Seriously… why are the skirts getting shorter and shorter? They look like they were designed for tiny little goblins.”

you personally!”

“You…”

Lynn’s face turned pale. She was so furious that she could barely catch her breath.

Joan stared at Elise’s retreating figure, her eyes filled with barely concealed hatred.

Under the bright studio lights, Elise’s delicate yet curvaceous figure looked even more striking.

It was difficult to find a ready-made evening gown that fit her perfectly.

In the end, she chose a white tulle gown with floral details-the

closest match to her size.

The designer carefully took her measurements and began adjusting the dress.

“Ms. White, I’d stake my reputation on this,” the designer said. “If your figure isn’t considered one of the best, then I honestly don’t know whose is.”

Elise smiled, taking it as a professional compliment.

Chloe immediately jumped in.

“Obviously! My Elise has the perfect figure. A tiny waist, long legs, elegant shoulders, and curves in all the right places…”

Elise shot her a warning look.

“Chloe, enough.”

Chloe burst out laughing.

“Wait, I’m not finished. And a figure that makes people lose their train of thought.”

Elise’s eyes widened.

She caught the female designer/sneaking a curious glance at her

chest.

Immediately, Elise turned around and pretended to be angry as she chased after Chloe.

Chloe had seen it coming and ran away laughing.

Elise truly didn’t know what to do with her.

Her chest wasn’t even that exaggerated. It was just slightly fuller and rounder than average…

The two of them joked around for a while. Once the dresses were altered, they each went home.

Before going upstairs, Elise instinctively glanced toward Harold’s parking space.

His elegant, refined Cullinan was parked there perfectly straight.

It had the same imposing presence as Harold himself.

But drunk Harold…

Elise pictured him tugging at the corner of her clothes and swaying it back and forth.

The image made her lips curve, and she couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Who would believe that the decisive, untouchable CEO of Firefly Glow could become such a clingy man when he was drunk?

At seven that evening, Harold still hadn’t returned home.

Worried that Blitz hadn’t eaten, Elise sent Harold a text.

[Mr. Nash, may I go onto your balcony and feed Blitz?]

Harold replied a while later.

Elise didn’t stay long after arriving at Harold’s apartment.

Once Blitz happily finished his food, she washed his bowl and returned to her own place.

The following evening, Elise put on her white V-neck tulle gown.

Because of the whip scars on her shoulders, she styled her hair in a delicate half-up princess look, using the front strands to

cover them.

For her necklace, earrings, and ring, she could only wear the set that Landon and Sharon had seen her wear countless times

before.

She had rented out the real pieces, so today she could only wear replicas.

She had worn that same set of replicas before when attending events with Landon.

But neither Landon nor anyone else had ever noticed.

Perhaps she had worn them so often that no one thought to question them anymore.

Blişe carefully applied her makeup, picked up her cluch, and 24

headed downstairs.

She walked to the entrance of Maplewood Estates, where she had arranged for Chloe to pick her up.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

It was a message from Jason.

[Are you going to PlayBean’s banquet tonight?]
