The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 758:

Before leaving work, she asked Lorna where she could find a good gown. Lorna suggested she go to a street in Shirie, packed with upscale boutiques. Brenna headed there straightaway.

In the past, Brenna had relied on Ellie to craft her gowns, each one tailored to perfection. But with Ellie on holiday, she had to buy a gown this time. She explored multiple shops in succession, yet nothing met her standards—either the materials felt subpar, or the styles failed to impress her.noveldrama

At last, outside one store, a mannequin caught her attention. It wore a delicate lavender off-shoulder dress, fitted at the waist, with tiny diamonds that shimmered in the light.

The moment Brenna laid her eyes on it, she was utterly enchanted.

The boutique was impressively spacious for a specialty store, showcasing dresses suited for any occasion. At the very entrance stood the most breathtaking piece in the entire collection.

Brenna paused, entranced by the dress’s beauty, and instinctively reached out to touch it.

Before her fingers could make contact, a sales associate rushed over, gently intercepting her hand. “Please don’t touch it!”

Brenna couldn’t help but frown. She held back her curiosity and asked the sales associate, “I’m not even allowed to touch it?”

The sales associate hadn’t meant to be rude. She quickly bowed and offered a sincere apology. “I’m truly sorry, Miss. Please don’t take it the wrong way. I meant no offense. This dress is worth seven million dollars. It’s the centerpiece of our store, custom-made for a client. If it were to get damaged or stained, we simply couldn’t afford the loss. I hope you understand.”

Brenna gave a small nod. The sales associate’s apology was genuine, her tone professional and respectful. She saw no reason to make things difficult for her. With a small nod, she withdrew her hand. “I understand.”

Relief washed over the sales associate’s face. “Thank you so much for your understanding. Please, come in. If you would like assistance selecting a gown, I would be more than happy to help.”

Earlier that day, two customers had adamantly tried to purchase the dress on display. It had taken her a long time to talk them out of it, enduring a stream of verbal abuse in the process.

Now, faced with someone so understanding like Brenna, she couldn’t help but feel a quiet sense of gratitude.

She turned to Brenna with a warm smile. “Miss, may I ask what kind of event you will be attending? I can help you find a suitable gown.”

“There was a major earthquake recently. Someone is hosting a charity gala to raise funds. I am attending the gala,” Brenna replied as she glanced through a row of gowns.

The sales associate nodded with a professional air. “I see—it’s a more solemn occasion, then. In that case, a dress with understated elegance would be most appropriate. Do you have a budget in mind, Miss?”

Brenna’s eyes briefly scanned the price tags. Many of the dresses ranged from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars, with some even pushing past the million mark.
