My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 130

Since the collection of haute couture gowns was acquired, Leonard had invited numerous guests to admire them, including aristocrats and celebrities. Their comments were invariably the same—"lovely," "beautiful"—but none had ever recognized the designer behind them at first glance.

Matilda's unique style was the essence of these gowns.

Xanthea commented, "For my coming-of-age party, Samuel had invited her to design a gown for me. Even then, it wasn't part of a collection, yet it was worth over a million. This animal-themed collection of yours must be over a hundred million, right? No surprise there, Marlowe Enterprises is really top-tier."

Leonard laughed modestly, "Oh, hardly that. Even the combined wealth of the entire Marlowe family wouldn't come close to one ten-thousandth of Orion's personal assets, let alone this animal-themed collection of gowns. If you liked it, he wouldn't blink an eye even if you asked for an 'island-themed' gown."

Xanthea looked puzzled, "Why would he buy me an island-themed gown?"

"Well, I'm just saying—if you were his girlfriend."

Xanthea rolled her eyes, "In his dreams!"

Watching her reaction, Leonard smirked, sensing that Orion had a long way to go in winning her over, "Go ahead, pick any that you like."

Was Matilda's exclusive gown collection really just there for the taking?

Surprised, Xanthea looked at him and mentally tagged him as 'generous' among the wealthy. "Since you're so inviting, I won't hold back! Out of all these gowns, the little white bunny one must suit my personality the best!"

Just as she was about to grab the cute bunny gown from the wardrobe, a sexy and enticing red fox dress caught her eye.
