Eden looked carefully and found that Carlotta's dress was indeed exactly the same as Karlee's.
Usually, Dulcie would be with them, but Eden didn't see her today.
Dulcie was really good at playing people off against one another, therefore, the relationship between them was very tense.
Eden hadn't seen them together for a long time now. She could tell that Carlotta was very smart and cautious.
Victor supported her father a lot in last year's election, so she stopped making trouble for her now.
However......
Eden sneered. It seemed that Dahlia was the one who was most good at making use of people.
But who made the dress for Carlotta?
Someone clearly stole her design.
Eden found a quiet place to sit down and sent a message to Karlee. "Have you been wearing your dress before the party?"
"No, it's my first time to wear it today. Because it's too beautiful, I wanted to save it until the most important occasion."
Eden knew problem was not with Karlee.
"Karlee, I'm sorry. I'll make a new dress for you."
After sending the message, Eden went back to the room where Karlee was.
She guessed that the Simpson family hosted this party for their company's listing.
She didn't stay any longer but quickly returned to the VIP room and took out the cutting tools she brought with her from her bag.
"Karlee, take off your dress first. I'll redo it for you." She already had a plan in her head.
Karlee looked at her in surprise, "Are sure it will work?"
Eden smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will never let you make a fool of yourself."
Looking at her confident smile, Karlee nodded with relief. Her unhappiness disappeared instantly. She was indeed a little annoyed with Eden earlier. After all, Eden had said that she designed the dress for her own, but she saw someone was wearing the exact same dress the first time she wore it, of course, she would feel that Eden lied to her on purpose.
Now, seeing that Eden was trying so hard to help her, she felt a little guilty about what she thought earlier.
Karlee took off the dress and handed it to Eden, then wrapped her body with a towel. She sat on the sofa and watched Eden cutting the dress.
She said with a guilty face, "Eden, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you. I thought you did it on purpose."
Eden was about to cut the dress, but as soon as she heard this, she looked up in surprise.
Then she smiled and said, "Is it what you were thinking?"
She only felt Karlee was quite cute when she was a little annoyed earlier.
Karlee looked even more guilty and her voice became lower and lower. "I feel so bad now. I thought you never took my things seriously, and you made me a fool by making me wear the same dress as someone else. I'm sorry that I thought all the bad things about you before you came."
"Haha..." Eden could not help but laugh. "I never knew that I'm so not trustworthy in your mind."
"No, no, no..." Karlee shook her head quickly. She thought about it and then said slowly, "I just think too much when something goes wrong. In fact, I'm very grateful to you. I don't have many friends when I come back, and only you are willing to go to food stalls with me. If I asked my old friends to go to food stalls with me, they would all laugh at me."
Eden smiled and didn't say anything. She knew what was it like to live in a rich family. Although she was with Victor now, she still lived a simple life. She didn't need to go with him to socialize much.
Karlee was a little surprised. She didn't believe it when she heard what her mother said, but now that Eden personally admit it, she finally believed it.
Seeing that she wanted to say something else, Eden said first, "Karlee, you are running late."
Hearing this, Karlee didn't have time to think anymore, so she said quickly, "Okay, let's talk later."
Then she walked out with a smile.
After she left, Eden did not leave the restaurant straight away.
She left the room and took the exclusive elevator to the room on the top floor with a cold face.
As soon as she opened the door, her phone rang.
"Victor," she said first.
"Honey, where are you?" Victor asked anxiously.
Eden just realized that she forgot to tell him when she left in a hurry. He must be so worried about her right now.
"I'm out. You can go home first. I'll be back soon." She couldn't leave right now. She had to find out who stole her design.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up." Victor didn't want to go back alone to the empty house.
Eden hesitated. She looked at the plants in the room. Even if they didn't come often, the plants still looked very good.
"Eden," Victor called her again when he did not hear her say anything for a long while.
Eden thought about it and told him the truth. "I have something to do at River City restaurant. I will go back soon."
